Am I the only one who is not seriously worried about our defense in 2008?

The New England Patriots offense was the no show in the Super Bowl.

The offense, Bill Belichick, Josh McDaniels, Richard Seymour, there was a TON of NO SHOWS.

The New England Patriots defense held their opponent in the Super Bowl to their season average while the New England Patriots offense flopped.

The defense had to make 1 stop and didn't get it done. That's flopping my friend.

Not even close.

2007 New England Patriots defense = 17.1 Pts/G

What was the score of the Super Bowl?

More like you're flopping around like a fish out of water with your Seymour argument. However, you can keep flailing away.

Your argument is completely wrong with regard to time of possession.

Hi A T.

I'm not much of a stat girl. I looked at the two links but am not sure what they showed of significance. # of plays?

It just seemed to me that everytime I turned around we were scoring and then kicking off and the D would be back out on the field. It just seemed like our D lots of times didn't have time to catch their breath.^_^.

The Patriots offensive time of possession was nearly one minute greater in 2007 than 2006.
