Sorry, I misunderstood. The offense and an old patched up defense was better than the even worse defenses that followed as they failed to build another great offense (Jackson, Maroney).
Sorry, I think the great defense collapsed in 2006 and BB patched with other old players because he went offense big time because of Polian rules, the availability of Moss and other FA receivers. Don't think the 2007 defense can be judged in isolation on stats.
It was elite until Rodney went out and the Pats didn't have an answer for Dallas Clark. Word is Eric Alexander is still having nightmares about that game. Before that, they were firing on all cylinders.
