who cares about Def stats...Pats are 3-1 and there is a good chance next week they will reclaim the top spot in the East

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.

they get plenty of push.....the collapsed the pocket on campbell quite a bit yesterday, and they contained the run quite well.....plenty of stops at or behind the line

sacks are a nice stat at contract time, but in no way shape or form are they (always) indicative of pass rush or defensive line play

you have a line like chicago's, or a beat up line like the jets or steelers and you'll give up sacks....but a defensive front does not HAVE to generate sacks to generate pressure

Are u kidding me?You call that a rush?I am not asking for sacks.I am asking for the QB to be uncomfortable.

did you watch yesterday? or just listening to EEI all day?

considering the unit they had out there yesterday, i had no real issue with the D-line play - they game planned to stop dmac first, which they mostly did (one big run and yet he was still way under his season average), and pressure campbell.....he was flushed and hit well, and they only failed to contain him on one run

You've already shown that you don't understand that Campbell wasn't comfortable in the pocket yesterday. There is no sense in talking about it further because you refuse to listen.

Campbell played like Campbell.This team was opportunistic in creating turnovers.They got a huge gift from campbell with the int.The bottom line is that the raiders where in pats territory for much of the game.Its a joke!
