What the hell happened to that defense? That's not the New England Patriots I know. The Patriots of old wouldn't have choked against the Colts either.

If the problem is talent, and I think it is, then you guys are in trouble. You guys better hope BB can work some magic or it's lights out in round one... if you get that far.

It's not a talent issue. The talent is loaded on both sides of the ball.

The scheme and play-calling on both sides of the ball are atrocious.

There is little deception on both sides of the ball. The opposing offense can clearly see if we are blitzing or in man/zone every play, and the opposing defense knows exactly where we are trying to go with the ball, especially on 3rd down.
