So tell me what has changed since Bart Scott pointed out the oh so obvious?
What's the point in giving up all those yards? It doesn't get you anywhere and are you seriously gonna rely on Vince Wilfork and the D Line to be at their best every game while relying on Tom bailing you out just so you can win?
The Patriots evidently don't win when Tom plays anything below his best because the D just doesn't give him time on the field, other teams with mediocre QB's like the 49ers and the Ravens can rely on their Defense to get them far but it is very very rare that we can fall back on our D and expect to win the same goes for the Saints and Packers who need Brees and Rodgers to be lights out every night.
God help us if a player like big Vince gets injured.
For me this draft is all about defense, defense, defense unless we can somehow get Blackmon otherwise just forget it and go for the bigtime defensive players in the draft and get someone ala V-Jax in the offseason to sort out athletic deep threat deficiencies.
The funny thing is even if Wes makes that catch and gets the win we should still have stuck with this draft tactic above because we would've been deluded to think we stood a chance next year with this bend but don't break system again because you're asking for 5000+ from Brady every season then.
