its a poll
if you can go into the playoffs with either the Patriots defense from 09, last year, or this year, which one would you want?
i want this years
in 09 the defense was not really very good, we did not beat some very good teams, and that defense got some real lucky breaks
in 10 the defense was much better, but it was more turnover prone than good, which i loved, b/c turnovers correlate to game wins...it was an opportunistic defense, but it could NOT produce turnovers, it capitalized on situations presented by teams....so when a team did NOT turn the ball over, we lost
this years defense is different, its streaky, inconsistent, and sometimes has some really bad stretches/drives.....but this defense also have points in the game where they clamp down, play awesome coverage, either zone OR man, and rush and destroy the pocket...and cause a good amount of turnovers...all this with incredible injuries, and playing multiple wr's as db's....brand new safeties, a regressing #1 CB, hurt LB's, revolving door at DL, hell we dont even know what formation we want more until we see the results...3-4 or 4-3
im not saying any of these defenses are the 85 bears,but if i have to be stuck with one, give me this years
