pats also have something the packers dont....a Running game that you can use to control the clock. since the packers cant run that means you can have anderson in there all day rushing Rodgers.
im not buying theres such a huge difference between the packers and patriots defenses...the only difference is that the pack are 12-0 so it hides their warts
The New England Patriots defense did not accomplish those goals against Sanchez and the New York Jesters in the playoffs last season.How to make up for the inability to play man-to-man? Create turnovers and a decent pass rush. If the Pats can't do that in the playoffs they're done.
If Belichick didn't think it was garbage time, he wouldn't have been using Sterling Moore as one of his top-2 CBs.
If both guys came back to play for the Pats right now Troy Brown would be the #3 receiver and Ty Law would be the #1 CB.
9-3, have the division locked, will be a 1 or 2 seed in the playoffs. That is reality.Some people on here think we were playing prevent defense in the 4th? How delusional can you be? The defense cant make a stop when they need to, and cant get off the field on 3rd downs. They allow 10+ minute drives to Indy, that happens when you have horrid personnel on defense.
You're a blind homer if you defended this defense today. Sorry, it's reality. And no, they didn't gain most of their yards in garbage time, which I've read a lot today. We're damn lucky we recovered that onside kick. Completely folding in the 4th doesnt equal this fictional "garbage time"

That is not defending the defense that was out there in the 4th quarter today, we probably will not see that combo the rest of the year, including the playoffs.
it's pretty obvious but they're 100% right. If the offense has an off day, we're done.
And McCourty is apparently our #1, what's your point? We don't have many options.
The New England Patriots defense is not playing any better than last year especially in the first week of December.Some of you are overreacting about the playoffs. In the AFC, other than possibly Rapistberger we wouldn't have to face an above average QB.
New England, NOLA and Green Bay all have comparable defenses...
Not sure what happened to McCourty...
If a team can pressure Brady, we're in trouble. Denver game will be interesting in this regard. We cannot rely on our running game.
It's absurd playing Sterling Moore at cornerback.The point is that it's absurd to act like the Pats weren't taking it easy toward the end of the game.
