After tonight, I think this defense can hang with any offense.

I dont know, I think the posters here know a little bit more about this than the Eagles. Come on.....

They should be impressed, one of the best defenses in football. They’re only going to get better as the season goes along, which is typical of BBs defenses.

Was anyone worried about the defense?

All my questions coming in were on the offensive side.

Defense held the Eagles to 175 yards after the first quarter.

Are you freaking kidding? A number of posters here have incessantly clamored that the Pats defense (a) is terrible vs good offenses and (b) can't stop running QB's!

Best secondary in the league imo

Gonzales and White are DAWGS.
Might be our best draft in a long time.
Obviously have to wait and see how their careers go, but promising start. White actually challenged the best RT in the game Lane Johnson quite a bit today

It's all about the compliments you earn along the way.

I'll be honest, I kinda hate that we turned into the "look at the compliments the team that beat us is throwing our way!" fanbase. I know it's natural and I'm not chastising anyone, just a sad reality.

I was looking for Mapu. I know he played. Not enough, though. He going to destroy people in the coming games.

This Miami offense is explosive. Very explosive.

Sure would be nice if Siriani demonstrated that respect for the opponent (and the game itself) by not demonstrably celebrating like a player after securing the game. Just a terrible look for a coach IMO.

Cant ask for a better gift than Miami at home in September.

18 points too.

The Ravens could learn a few things from the Eagles.

I think a few coaches are like that. At least not as disrespectful as McDaniels and his fist pumps imo

I think the eagles presented more problems offensively than Buffalo. KC looks vulnerable this season offensively.. as great as Kelce is he's 33. Double him and, well be content with Mahomes having to Run for yards.

This is just my opinion. I believe the defense played excellent against this potent offense. Myles Bryant wasn't a liability at all. We held a potent offense to consecutive 3 and outs, and a TD and FGs.

Offensively the rookies played well. Boutte will get with Troy brown and adjust his foot work. Next up is the Dolphins who put up Madden numbers Sunday.

They are interconnected. I’m not worried about the defense if the offense is converting 3rd downs and maintaining their fair share of time of possession. I’m greatly concerned about the defense if they are going 3 and out and the defense is always on the field. One of the most impressive things about the defense yesterday was that they were able to keep them in the game when the offense was turning the ball over and burying them. Fortunately for the Patriots they should get Strange and Onyewu back, and they should be able to run the ball much better than they did yesterday, and that should help the offense stay on the field, especially if Jones can build off of yesterdays performance.
