Interesting point: by TDs, the Pats need to give up SIX passing TDs just to be the worst D in NE history, let alone NFL history. Right now, by TDs, they don't even rank in the bottom 200.

Why is one of our few 1PM games on New Years Day? I really could've used the extra few hours!

That's one of the things I hated about living in the Pacific time zone. So glad to be back in NE.

Spikes seems to be having some issues with his knee in warmups. Keeps looking down at it. Chung looks ok.

Yeah, the merits of using yardage as a standard for ranking defenses have been thoroughly discussed here; does seem to be an outdated metric — but it's what is used. we all know this D isn't "the worst." I still think what Bedard wrote was funny, after what the whole Brees thing last week; gotta be able to laugh sometimes.
