What is it with this site that makes so many think you are going to keep Indy to 6 points and 150 yards total offense? It cracks me up when people mention the game in Miami and then don't look at the fact the other seven opponents were worse...especially the "Number 1" ranked Jets defense.

We are also back to the clown "Giants" game. The Giants had a great gameplan and that works for a limited period. Where have the Giants been since?

Not counting playoff games?

the problem last year was not all lack of leadership

the problem was the core of the defense retired befor the season and BB traded the best player on defense one week befor the season

so brady and BB was trying to hard to put up 40 points a game to make up for the weak defense. ther was lot's of bad coaching and bad decisions made by brady and BB

When you dont have every player doing what they're suposed to do, it makes them look bad. What Brady is saying, I think, is that if everyone listens to BB and does they're job correctly, they will probably win a lot mkore than they lose and win more than they have the last 2 years.
They turned the corner in the 01 SB year when everyone did their role and played as a team.

The NFL is a passing league and the only way to stop it is to pressure the qb. I'm sure you guys watched the superbowl against the Giants. The Pats were clearly the better team that season but the giants found a way to disrupt Brady and it totally changed your passing game.

I still don't see where the Pats are getting pressure on the opposing teams qb and thats the biggest problem they have.

They "disrupted Brady" because they were blowing our O-linemen off the line.. to add to it, Stephen Neal went down early and Russ Hochstein just wasn't up for the job.

As for what you see, well, that's ok. You don't have to. We do. And that's what counts.. We have faith that the 4 ILBs the Pats have should be able to do the job.. Add that to TBC, Cunningham, Wilfork, Warren and whomever starts at RDE and the Pats defense should be better.
