I'm concerned that the Patriots don't appear capable of beating teams with a good defense (yes, they've had things go against them). The Patriots will be facing more of them during the season.

No. Anything which results in the patriots not getting at least a wild card would be big trouble. if the pats get to 10-6 and still win the division, then they are in and that's all that matters.

I have to disagree. The patriots were certainly capable of beating all the teams they lost to this season, all with good defenses. they lost because they were not able to finish the job but they were in it until the very end.

I know their defense is very good as well. But Brady knows Miami's defense. We were a bit unfimiliar with Seattle's defense as we haven't faced these guys in four years, and that team was WAY different back then. Seattle's overall pass-rush and run defense and pass defense are overall stronger than Miami's...

How does Brady know this Miami Dolphins defense? The Miami Dolphins are coached by an entirely new staff.

Stop with your pathetic excuses! What you are selling, I'm not buying!

I respect your opinion, but I somehow doubt that the Patriots are going to lose 4 straight games.

As a matter of fact, I'd be very, very surprised if they lost more than 2 at the most in your 4 game stretch.

Capable was a poor choice of word on my behalf TommyBrady12. I should have worded it to better reflect my position. They are finding good defenses problematic.

I don't think those are tough games at all.

I expect to win all of the division games,because there are no other good teams in the division.
We have swept them in half of those seasons.

That isn't saying much, the Jets defense is awful

You used the last 10 years as a timeframe.
We are 29-11 vs those 2 teams in that timeframe, and both are not as good as the average of what they were in that time frame.
We are not losing any of those games.

At this point no, because we have issues that allows some teams to stick around and defensively we stink in a 2 minute D so if we end up in that scenario we could be in trouble. That said it took a perfect storm for each of the 3 losses to happen, and there are a number of games on the schedule against teams who won't be in that position.
In the next 2 months, these issues need to be addressed.
The talent is there, the team needs to be built.

Aside from the Steelers who Brady has had success against for most of his career,the Pats have lost to good defenses for quite some time now.

This team cannot beat a good defense mainly because its own defense cannot stop the other team,so if Brady is troubled by tough defenses,the Pats lose...period.

There is slim to no chance the pats will win a game this year if the offense does not put up 21 or more points.

It's sad that Brady at 35 STILL has to put up big numbers to win because he can't trust his own secondary....real sad.
