Think about it, ladies and gentlemen, the Pats' D has really only given up 13 points if you minus the one they gave up after Brady's horrible interception. The Colts were the number one scoring team in the league coming into today. They were scoring 30+ points in losses. Still, people will look at stats and say the D sucks.
One of the interesting things to watch moving forward: Vince and Branch as that jumbo interior D line looked very physical and hard to move (with the LBs getting some room to tackle with some meanness). If this addition/change is going to be this tough up the middle (not leaving out Jones, Nink others), then couple that with this secondary?? The ceiling could get quite high for the D as we march toward January.
The dream would be if they could get a more potent pass rush going. Wow, opposing teams offenses will be frequently hating life.....
8 mins and down 15 warranted the "go for it". it probably took 2 mins to get a TD and they could not stop the run. So it was really make it or game over.
