Maybe if they'd had Chung. . . .
Chung would have helped some, but Meriweather and/or Sanders would have helped lots more.
The Pats had 4 turnovers...that was the reason they lost, not the defense.
Belichick screwed up at the safety position. His penchant for getting rid of guys just before the start of the season worked once, and now he seems to think it's going to work every time.

not to mention the drafting of such studs as wheatley, butler, whilhite , shall we go on....
That may well be, but that bridge was crossed several weeks ago.
BRIDGE 1 CROSSED Cut Merieather
BRIDGE 2 CROSSED Cut Sanders
BRIDGE 3 CROSSED Don't sign ANY starting or backup safeties. The very idea that no one was available who was not better than ONE of Brown, Barrett and Ohedigbo just doesn't pass the laugh test.
BRIDGE CROSSED Start the season with Dowling as one of our safeties (even #3)
========================================================
Yes, lots of bridges have been crossed. We will now see just how stubborn Belichick is.

It's game three, they're 2-1. My only concern is, they have no talent at safety. Other than that, the D has some new parts and coming together in Dec is what counts. Defense is about coordination, it takes a while.
If anyone actually thinks the season is over at 2-1 then that person is an idiot.
Nope. Defense cannot stop anybody. Fitz & Jackson did whatever they wanted all game.

Well this is true...season has just started and our offense will keep us in many games. Against other high scoring,potent offenses.....we will struggle alot. McCourty so far is showing that last year was a fluke..as so far this year he has been abysmal. Despite the acquisitions of several big time pass rushers....we still have yet to get consistent pass rushing/pressure on opposing QB's. We also continue to have significant difficulty stopping the run....and getting off the field on 3rd down. This is really nothing new obviously....if someone told me this was the 2002, or 2006, or 2010 NE Pats defense....I couldn't tell the difference....
