This is the 2011 defense all over again

[Bobs My Uncle]

Lombardi said the Pats defense is not very good and it sure looks as though he's correct.

Let's put this on context. The Pats are still playing Seattle in a tight game and Wilson looks great.

So what's your point again?

Buffalo played Seattle close IN Seattle.

What's your point again?

This D BLOWS. Not the players (outside of Ryan and Coleman) but the coaching. Zero awareness of the down and distance. Seriously.

 

[Bombdog]

The defense was freaking awful you have to be able to get off the field on third down.

 

[Off The Grid]

They are playing with no fire. They are playing like they don't even care.

They hate their Coach.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

I'm just waiting on Edelman and street free agents playing corner, that's what it looked like, it looks so 2011.

3rd and 16, 20 yard completion! It's like you just went back in a time machine to 2011 the board is even the same.

You even have the people like you had in 2011 claiming it's bend but don't break designed defense, it's not bend but don't break it's can't stop anybody defense.

Pathetic! at home with 2 weeks to prepare and this team was utterly unprepared. The offense was extremely average and the defense was simply awful. The media will start to question the Colin move, who can blame them. Hope we bring a entire new unit next year.

Hopefully they put the cap space next season and get some players on defense.

Kudos to Seattle. They did what they had to tonight. Great game plan overall by them.

I've said it time and time again, but a versatile player like Lewis is incredibly important against elite defenses, with Seattle being the bench mark on that side of the ball imo.

The concern is that no Jones and Collins means that even great coaching cannot cover up for a lack of playmakers on defense.

The offense is still good enough to keep us in literally any game but its looking plain as day (at the moment) that there is no solution for the defense other than what we hope is internal improvement.

This might be reactionary because I'm angry, but it really pisses me off to think yet another precious year of Brady is going to be wasted away because the D can't stop anyone. 3rd and long is a damn garuntee for opposing teams. So frustrating and so freaking pathetic.

 

[TBR]

What sucks is that this defense is near the bottom in terms of producing turnovers. Whereas the 2011 defense, despite being awful, was top 5 in INTs + recovered fumbles.

chandler jones and collins would help. instead we have chris long and shea mccelin.

Thry never helped in the past, so what makes you think they would now.

 

[FCB02062]

Landry Jones pretty much had a field day against the Pats, I don't know why people thought they'd be able to stop Wilson

 

[Chevy]

Sorry, my faith is still with this team and its staff. Yes, coaching was off - so was execution. Bad games happen, and the other guys get paid, too.

You have every right to feel that way. The coaching stunk.

What's worse, is BB is seemingly okay with the D. Has he lost it?

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Seahawks made SEVEN trips to the red zone, that is absolutely brutal against an offense that is traditionally mediocre.

I think he's just acting that way in front of the cameras. There is no way he can be okay with the pile of **** we just watched last night. They're back to being the 3rd and 1st defense again.

 

[A man named Brady]

The front end talent just isn't there. Look at the Seahawks

Wagner
Sherman
Kam
Earl Thomas

It's night and day

 

[JMC00]

The defense was freaking awful you have to be able to get off the field on third down.

So then Seattle's defense was awful? Because they were worse on 3rd down

 

[Marqui]

Must be nice having a great playmaking defense like Seattle instead of this pathetic defense.
