Re: Pete Prisco: "Old and slow Linebacking corps will hurt Patriots chances"
I like how, in a chart accompanying the same article, they rank the offenses and defenses from last year. NE points allowed: #2.
Prisco is making way too much of one game. Yes the D lost that game last year. They were opposed by the best offense in the league and overcome by injuries (unless Alexander actually belonged in that game). It's not an excuse for why they lost, but instead a reason why that game is a poor predicative tool.
Basically, pick an adjective: lazy, shortsighted, disingenuous, reactionary. They all fit.
