This is soooo disappointing. I mean, sure, we have the highest scoring offense of all-time and pundits are crawling out of the woodwork to call us the best team of all-time, but can we really expect to beat the Colts if we don't have the best offense AND defense of all-time? Get real people!!!

This team is just not living up to expectations.

LOL, that's about what I said during the game. The defense is good - but not more than that - right now. But just because the offense is performing at a historically great level doesn't detract from the fact that they're a good defense that will likely look better if it ever actually needs to.

Just wait until you get back Richard Seymour.

Quite a few people under appreciate him. I'm not saying a lot of people but theres definitely some who have said "oh we're fine without him". No...with him we will be dominant on both sides.

Ugh! I just looked at the stats, and after the Dolphins game the Pats have dropped from 2nd to 3rd in total defense!

This is a disgrace!!

LOL Are the idle Colts still holding down #11? If they move up into single digit defense after tomorrow night we might as well concede.

Full pad workouts Wed, Thurs & fri..that will teach the lackadaisical guys on the D side...

LOL, the D had an off game. But once Big Sey gets back they'll be fine. They've generally played better as the season goes on and the games get more important. Of course being the greedy ba$tard I am I want that #1 D tag as well

Oh me too! Shutouts would be nice , but I would rather have the opposing teams score only thru field goals instead of having touch down. I want our D to be mean and stingy and unfortunately, I don't think we are that robust yet.

But one point on your assumption on Seymour. I think we all by now know that no one (including Seymour) can know for sure when Seymour will play. Could be probably after the bye week also...

Talk about being the victim of your own success, I checked the game stats, and the defense was on the field for over 35 minutes and 70 plays (vs. 51 for the patriots offense), the kind of work load you usually associate with a team getting blown out.

the irony is that the patriots vertical offense is so awesome (they averaged 12.4 yards per pass and 8.7 yards per play yesterday) that the offense takes the field, throws a couple of long passes, mixes in a short run and then, boom, scores and leaves the field before the D gets a blow.

it's a nice problem to have, but in a long season the D is gonna break down against a good team at some point.
