His basic point is that the pass defense record is historically toxic for any team with championship aspirations. I might have to agree, as of RIGHT NOW... good thing the season ain't over yet.

About as brilliant as Gregg Easterbrook. Consummate dootch.
Link NOT followed; he's not getting paid by me.

Here is an encouraging stat on the Pats pass D:

Through week 6, the opposing QB had his best passing yd performance of his season vs the Pats four times

Henne 416 yds .....his best game by 161 yds, before getting injured
Rivers 378 yds......his best game by 43 yds
Fitzpatrick 369 yds....best game by 105 yds
Campbell 344 yds......best game by 21 yds

But

Sanchez 166 yds....his 5th best passing game... -169 yds from his best game
Romo 317..............his 4th best passing game...-28 yds from his best game

Of course coaches for both NYJ and Dallas had confidence issues with their QBs coming into their games with NE

Sanchez didn't throw a pick, Rivers threw 2. Not going to agree with either, best games are not based on yards alone. I think Brady's game vs OAK was better than BUF despite less yards and TDs.

Moved on.

IMHO, this is great for the patriots.

I hate it when we are crowned as the favorites, because than we most likely lose!

Right now green bay is considered the favorite.. and the patriots as pretenders. Let's keep it that way... maybe it will light a fire under our teams asses

I find it difficult to see Green Bay losing more than 2-3 games given their schedule. Let them and the Ravens deal with the mantle of conference favorites.
