He said it was the game that he finally proved the doubters wrong. Sounds like a career game to me.
We both know that was far from the best game of his career, and you are grasping at straws.
Fitzpatrick has had good games, Sanchez has had good games, Matt Moore, Chad Henne, Colt McCoy... But it really doesn't matter.
You said CAREER games, as your defition of why the Patriots defense stinks, in fact you said
I don't know how that good of a defense would allow career games to every QB they face.
Now you are giving me Moore completing 50% of his passes? Sanchez having 'good games' and Henne piling up yards in garbage time?
McCoy is a good example, now give me what defense hasn't allowed good games by opposing QBs?
What we take out of this discussion is, I think our defense is mediocre,
You said the defense has been awful for years.
You are now getting closer. The defense was average in 2011.
It was clearly above average prior to 2011, over whatever span you wish to pick.
I think BB should have prepared better the 2008 to 2009 defensive transition, and hasn't done a good job reloading (until 2012). Which results in the bad defense we've had until last year. I base my opinion on actual played games
You cannot be basing it on games played, or you would focus on results instead of how many yards the losing QB passed for against us.
You think our defense is average to above average, and Bill has done all he could. You base your opinion on defensive stats.
Average in 11, undisputably above average in any other timeframe.
I don't know where 'all he could' comes from other than you making it up and attributing it to me.
I am saying your expectations are unrealistic, and everything you have posted confirms that.
I am not using stats in any way.
I am using what happens on the field (what really happens, not some bs 'it looked to me' crap) which for a defense is clearly represented by how many points are being scored against you, when they are and whether or not you win.
