We’re better defensively this year.Were/are you more confident in the D heading into SB 53 vs SB 52? There was no Hightower last season. This season Hightower is available, yet there is no James Harrison to rush the passer like last year.
Just wanted to get everyone's pulse on this aspect of the game.
Not terribly different from last year's. There was a noticeable improvement in last year's defense in the playoffs too and we know how that turned out in the end. Secondary is much deeper this year which could be the difference.
last years QBs NE faced:
Mariota, Bortles
this year:
Rivers, Mahomes.

Fair enough, but I'd point out that we went 0-2 against those ****ty AFCS QBs this year.
What's so weird about this season is the Patriots truly played to the level of their competition. They'd go out & lose to tomato cans like Miami, Detroit, Jacksonville, & Tennessee. Yet, they'd turn around and beat Chicago, KC x 2 (Including the postseason), & the Chargers. I'd be interested to see if a team has ever made the SB after losing to three or more non playoff teams during the season.
