From Eric McHugh: "If you’re a fan of D (or if you happen to be recently promoted coordinator Dean Pees) this weekend was kind of a ho-hum affair."
Over the past two days the media has shown amazing ignorance...from the guys on the beat to the uber-pompous Paul Zimmerman of SI.
As BB has said a thousand times, it's all about a "complimentary game." OFFENSE HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH DEFENSE.
Our defensive personnel play twice as strong with the benefit of downhill leverage. A productive and dominant offense always unleashes a defense and allows the Pats to use about 80% more of their defensive playbook.
Evidence? Try the Bucs game -- until the O broke it open, the D was playing back on its heels...but after jumping out to a 14-point lead, the backers started flying aggressively -- by halftime it was so ugly the Fox announcers were expressing sympathy for Tampa Bay (a playoff caliber team).
Same thing happened against Jacksonville, and just about every other team down the stretch.
This isn't rocket science. These are the basics of the game. Some of these hacks should seriously consider a new day job.
