Another ******* year/season wasted of tom brady's twilight years.
Comparing this defense to 2005 is an insult to this defense.
The 2005 defense—through the first half of the season—was truly bend and then break (it was at least six weeks before that D had a single red zone stop).
There is no way to sugercoat this: we are screwed on defense. Our only real chance to contain that offense was Dennard completing shutting down the finesse Eric Decker while Talib handled Thomas. Now...
Decker will tear apart Arrington
Welker will tear apart Ryan
Manning will try to fool Harmon
Brady's going to need to score 42.
Great idea, quit on them, come back once the wasted years are over. Or not.

A dink and dunk Offense is going to be our Best Defense against the High Powered Broncos Offense.
Did Welker pass the baseline test yesterday? If so, he can practice limited Wednesday and Thursday per CBA rules. Friday is just the first day he can fully participate, again, per the CBA.Welker is not expected at practice before Friday. Right now it's a long shot for him to show up.
I'm not quitting on them, but there's only so much a defense can overcome

Wow, this season is a grind. Dennard finding himself on IR would truly be a crushing blow, let's hope it does not come to that. I am not sure we can handle another season ending injury to a starter, to be honest. On either side of the ball.
We'll continue to weather the storm. Going into the bye, I was thinking 1 or 2 seed. The injuries (and reinsures) to Dennard, Gregory, Talib and Arrington borders on ridiculous.
At this point, I think the plan is to just get into the playoffs by any means necessary, with as many people healthy as possible and hope for the best.

That's actually playable with Gregory and Harmon at Safety. Of course we don't know for sure that Gregory will play (or that Talib won't). But it sounded like Gregory had a decent chance to only miss one game and given the situation they may have little choice but to push forward with that.If Talib and Dennard are both out I would expect to see McCourty at LCB vs. Thomas, Ryan at RCB vs. Decker and Arrington in the slot vs. Welker. Hopefully Gregory can play otherwise it's Harmon and Ebner/Wilson.
It's going to be a grind to finish the season. They will make playoffs and win division...but go far with these injuries? Afraid it's too much
I thought Harmon looked good last night.That's actually playable with Gregory and Harmon at Safety. Of course we don't know for sure that Gregory will play (or that Talib won't).

We'll need some pass rush, for sure.
They're pretty screwed if neither Dennard nor Talib can go. Throw in Gregory and the same non-existant pass rush we saw last night, and the Broncos might put a 50burger on us.
