The 2001 team had Brady.... The D is not close to good enough to stop a high powered O. I'm sorry, but thats how I see it.
2008 Cassel > 2001 Brady...
2008 Patriots > 2001 Patriots...
2007 Patriots > everyone...
This D has first of all played fairly well so far this year with some hiccups and the fluke debacle that was the Miami game. They have a lot of new guys, 1st/2nd year guys that they are working into the defense. There is a larger learning curve this year than in recent years because of this. The patriots D has almost always gotten better as the season goes and there's no reason to think that won't continue. A lot of mistakes that are made based on inexperience won't be made in december/january by the young kids.
Of course still the D has played pretty well. Look at what the 49ers offense did to other teams this year compared to the Pats game. They also have the 2nd most "big plays" in the league. No defense gets shut outs every week, and all teams allow big plays and TDs. The Pats defense is playing good enough and will get better over time. You are still a whiny little troll though.
