I think we've been blitzing a bit more than usual. Sometimes it results in big losses.
Blitzing doesn't seem to work. Pats defense is so geriatrically slow that it's pointless to blitz. How many sacks today? Zero, I believe.
so take out the fins game and how is the defense?
Take out the Giants game last year and we are perfect.
What's your point?

Uhhh that doesn't make much sense? The O-Line was good last year, even though they played bad in the superbowl. His point was the defense has played well aside from a total team collapse against Miami. Your analogy is flawed.
NO his point was to take one game out to try and make his point. All of the games count

All of the games do COUNT, but extreme performances can skew averages especially with smaller sample sizes. If the defense played 4 games and allowed 100, 100, 900, 100 yards, they would be allowing 300 yards a game, which sounds horribly. However in reality they were dominant in all but one game. Obviously that's a gross exaggeration but hopefully you get what I'm saying.
The Miami game does count and the D did play poorly in that game, but the D playing good in 3 games and bad in 1 game would seem to indicate their is a better chance the D is actually good and not bad...
my point is there are usually stinkers/exceptions to the rule during the season that skew stats.
do you really think brett favre is worth 6 tds like last week?
