I think we should take the lesson we are seeing in the first Thanksgiving Day game. Can you image the hand wringing if the Patriots pass defense had allowed over 240 yds and 21 points in just one HALF. Well folks its NOT the Pats D, but the vaunted Texan D who is the victim..... AGAIN.
Listen it is HARD to defend today's passing game....anyone's passing game. Even a team who is currently "just" 4-6. Interesting that the mediots are trying to explain the defensive lapse on the fact that the Texans don't have their starting CB today. But no one ever gave the Pats any excuses for missing BOTH their safeties and losing Dowling during the last Jets game game.
I'm not saying that this justifies the failings of our defense but just pointing out that even the so call "good" defenses can get ripped to shreds, and we shouldn't beat our breasts like mourners whenever someone completes a pass, and act like we are the only fans who have to endure this kind of pain. Look around. Its happening a lot these days
