i confess i doubted him, sorry

 

[Leave No Doubt]

Rob Ryan was right

this is a diff tom we seen the last 2 seasons... DAM im so happy right now... hell of a game by the Defense , hell of a last drive by the O

How about the confidence BB showed in the D on the punt with less than 4 minutes? That has to be a boost to them.

Yup. Whoever said this team was the same as last year's is an idiot. BB clearly has much more confidence in the 2011 defense.

 

[Deus Irae]

Let's not allow the Brady greatness to overshadow the defense. That was their best job of the season. It wasn't perfect, but it got the job done in a dogfight with the deck stacked against it, and it's been a long time since we could honestly say that.

Maybe but they did have all three timeouts and the 2 min warning, I think the majority of coaches do the same thing there.

I don't think the Patriots deserve criticism as much as the Cowboys are playing very tight and very well today. I do not think they will have enough to get on top of us though and we should pull it out.

Good call Ice man ... haters go back under your rocks.

Re: Patriots Defense - best performance of the year

Other than one drive, the Pats defense played near perfect. They held a team that averaged 24.8 PPG and 418.8 YPG to 16 points and 377 yards.

If the Brady haters act smart they will shut up for at least the next two weeks. Great game winning drive.

Didn't a baltimore ravnes fan say "and you guys were comparing brady to montana?"

There you go son... THERE YOU GO

 

[blackglass3]

Man, that was great to see the O and the D play up to the challenge laid out before them. I can't remember the last final drive win by the Pats...feels like it's been forever.

Re: Patriots Defense - best performance of the year

All I wanted was consistency and they've strung together 2 good games in a row which is a great start.

I've got a list of about 20 people on this forum to ignore now for being giant ****ies.

Aw, c'mon Andrew, those guys are the "Super Fans", don't you know that? They're the guys that when faced with adversity just never quit and keep fighting right to the end. Real solid, stand up individuals that you'd want right next to you when the going gets tough.

Funny how they can't help but expose themselves as huge D-Bags, huh?

If they had any self respect, they'd cancel their accounts and never show up here again, but they won't because they suck.....big time.

Not bradys best game but he came through in the clutch again. A few scary throws in the end(from the tv's view). Defense is looking a lot better. Last game I'm gonna see til Denver hope to see still one loss.

 

[r3pnit]

that is tough.. playing against 2 ryans defense back to back.. you have to give them rrespect

 

[Betterthanmost]

BB might have inadvertently found what he need to gel this defense. I mean kind of going for it on fourth decide to punt with less than 4 mins left? I was shocked and preparing myself for a loss, but he knee he was going to bring pressure D.

Six points in the second half against a decent offense. You really can't say much more than that. They took a punch in the mouth in the end of the second quarter and they stood up and punched back.

never thought I'd see the day..but Deus crucifying the bawking littles....I get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside...

 

[ausbacker]

Personally, I'm pleased that the offense can thank the defense for keeping them in the contest today.
