LOL, you are a pathetic homer.
The Pats defense is at the bottom of the league, the Saints were an aggressive defense that played well for most of the year last year.

Deny it if you want. But the similarities are definitely there between the two defenses.
Saints threw the ball all over the field and also had a vertical passing attack in their arsenal.
Actually, the Saints did so well on offense because they had multiple receiving options that Brees could hit on any given play. Our offense is set up the same way.
Pats are hitting stride because of better offensive flow, and opponents tripping over themselves. Pats are not dominant offensively. They are no longer a vertical threat, and they still can't run the ball against good defensive teams.
The Steelers game begs to differ.
Alphonzo Smith literally all by himself gave you the victory in the Lions game. Peyton Manning destroyed the Pat defense and had to throw an INT for the Pats to squeak by in that game. You beat an injury depleted Steeler team and benefitted playing them off of a short week.
Not sure how you can say that Alphonso Smith literally gave us the game all by himself when Brady, literally (see how that word works?) put up a perfect passer rating. Manning threw for a lot of yards, but also threw three interceptions. That last interception was, by no means, one that Manning just "gave" us. It was showed in the postgame that the alignment confused him and Sanders made an athletic play. On top of that, Mark Sanchez, with his 31st ranked completion percentage and his slant routes, is no Peyton Manning. The only big injury that the Steelers had on defense was Kiesel. Aside from him, the rest of their defense played... and got torched. Their week was a whole one day shorter than our's.
I would bring up the Jets overall struggle against the Lions themselves, or the fact that they have yet to beat a team near the caliber of a Colts team or a Steelers team in convincing fashion yet this year, but my guess is that a statement like that would completely fly over your head.
Brady and the offense have made some adjustments on offense, but they are still weak on defense, they are an average rushing team and will struggle against good defenses.
In the last seven games, Brady is 143/190 for 1,500 yards with 13 TD's and 0 INT's. That's not just "making some adjustments". That's playing completely out of your mind. Of course, you watch the immortal Mark Sanchez every week so we wouldn't expect you to be impressed by a mere mortal like Tom Brady when you have the pleasure of watching a living God on the football field playing quarterback for the Jets. The defensive rankings are week, but the young guys are getting better and better every week and are causing timely turnovers to win the game. Can't ask much more than that. Meanwhile, the Jets defense isn't getting any younger and most of your stars on that side of the ball are going to be asking for big time paychecks in the offseason with the Jets having the inability to pay all of them. As for our rushing offense, we're averaging 112.1 YPG, which is a stat that was hurt by our offense being geared toward the pass earlier in the season. However, we showed in the Steelers game that we can, indeed, run on the better defenses in the NFL.
