I love our defense as it is currently. I'm not 100% convinced that Belichick is the defensive genius that he was because I think in the hands of Rex Ryan this would be the #1 overall defense in the NFL. My rationale being that this is a more talented defense than anything Rex ever had in New York.

While I respect Ryan as a defensive coach, I'm not positive there's a one to one comparison to be made. BB drafts and targets players that fit his schemes and coaching style, and I'm sure Rex does the same. I doubt every player on the Pats would respond to Rex's style that well, just as not everyone on the Jets would be able to handle BB's style.
I won't use the disagree button officially on this one though. Your opinion is not outlandish enough to warrant the little red -1

Anyone thinking Ryan could do it better than Belichick needs to get off the drugs.
I didn't realize Patricia had haters. McDaniels -- sure. But not Patricia. I think he's done great things with this D.
Either that, or the team signed Darrelle Revis.
Hard to be creative and do things like overload the weakside and send two LB's up the A gaps when you can trust your personnel in the back end. This has been obvious to most people who know anything about the game.Patricia has/had haters because we don't blitz. Everyone wants us to blitz because it's flashy. We all know how to call NFL plays better than he does, right?
And because our defense for many of Patricia's years here has had little to no talent at several key positions. That was apparently his fault.

Deus summed it up pretty nicely so I'll just let his post stand.I agree, and yet you read game day threads and people still whine about it all the time.
or else post daily on the enemy board and be acknowledged universally as one of the "good trolls"....yep, THAT is the mark of a "true" Pats fan.
RevisIt is interesting how we hear regularly now that NE is doing things the opposing coach/coordinator/QB hadn't seen on film. Not recently or even in the last year. Ever.
How much of that is natural development (reacting to league changes, implementing new ideas from the college game, etc) and how much is Patricia's doing? Or is it just that this is one of the most versatile rosters we've seen in a long time?
