If by "the Pats" you mean the offense, this statement is accurate.. In reality "the Pats" are an offense, defense and special teams.. The D is having a poor night so far.
The defense has been up and down. Miserable on two drives and stout on two others. If the defense can pitch 50% and the offense pitches 100%, my math says that the Pats score more points in the second half.
You do realize that the Pats scored 20 points on offense and gave up 14 points on defense. The fluke pick 6 on Brady is the reason the Colts are winning, not the defense.
People need to stop complaining about the refs. We are in this situation because the defense has played poorly and Jules made a bone headed play. That is basically it.
defense has been terrible which is no surprise. we dont have the players to cover all of the colts weapons. we really need a turnover to break this open, maybe a tipped pick or something idk. if im the colts i forget about running just quick pass us to death. we cant stop it.
people talk about jimmy graham not being involed this year. well, gronk only has like 20 catches which is around 12th for tight ends. so far nothing in the first half. we have the greatest tight end in history and dont use him. come the **** on!
OT: Seahawks are following the trend of SB losers not making the playoffs the following season. I know that there is plenty of season left, but they really have not looked like contenders. The Jimmy Graham thing really hasn't taken off (yet maybe) and the D has given up leads in four fourth quarters this season (FIVE if you include the SB).

Not sure Belichick trusts the D b/c they were determined to chew up rest of clock on that final drive even at expense of the drive...
I really wish we had James White inactive and made Dobson active. Brady can attack that weak secondary of Indy but we have only 3 WR's and one of them has been here 3 weeks.
Thing is though, shmessy--that WR who's only been here 3 weeks is obviously playing much better than Dobson, and we can see it in the games. I'd also bet that it's fairly evident in practice, as well.
Is it Martin looking better than expected? Is it Dobson looking worse than expected? A bit of both? Who knows?

Anybody calling that last PI a "good call" I assume doesn't watch the NFL on a regular basis. If they did they would know that the single arm up on a defender pushing him away is NFL receiving 101. You call that penalty on every play if you call the one arm push/separator. It is why they almost always only call the two handed push and let everything one handed go......except here....except by the ref who already called McCourty for illegally playing football.
Please don't act like Jets fans and cry about the refs. It was questionable that Chandler committed OPI, but it is also questionable that Josh Kline recovered that onside kick. So it is a wash in my book.
The front 7 has so much talent, it's really frustrating to see them under-perform like this. Even without Hightower.
Reminds me of very recent Carolina or San Fran defenses who were great up front and had *so-&-so players in the secondary, but still got off the field.
