Hasn't this been said for a while? That man would suit this D far more than zone?

Again, it seems that they aren't blitzing the extra man, which was making Fitz uncomfortable earlier in the half!

They played man against the Rams, for the most part, and were very successful.

Rushing 4 and playing zone IS...NOT...WORKING!!

But by all means, keep it up, play after play, game after game, season after season...

BB will tear them a new one in the locker room.

LOL, yeah like that will make a difference. BB can't create talent out of thin air. They will suck just as badly next half.

I don't even want a good defense, all I ask is for an average, or even bad one. They don't even offer any resistance to the opposition. They look good one game against the Rams and you got all the homers here coming out of the woodwork to tell us how dumb we were for doubting Belichick and the secondary players. Meanwhile, we make Fitzpatrick/Chandler look like Fouts/Winslow and I don't hear a peep from the excuse-makers. Funny how that works.

Part of the bad d is our secondary personnel, but my god its across the board.

No pressure on the QB, terrible LB coverage, bad communication, lack of talent. And dare I say it, just bad coaching. Its always the same thing.

No pressure on the QB? But Ninkovich is having a "huge" season.

You honestly couldn't hear the deflation in the stadium? When the Patriots go into halftime winning a game, there usually is some clapping and yelling for them. This time it was dead silent.

it's amazing how no qb fears the patriots defense.

One cb can't solve this problem

Talib wont fix this

Reading the posts on this thread, you'd think we were losing...

Exactly why I don't view this thread often anymore. All you guy try to do is try to find something to complain about, even if we're in the lead with the ball in our possession.

Can't wait to see what you guys do once Brady retires

Hael · Nov 11, 2012

So I mean, Ryan is doing the usual thing against zone defense, which is to hit the seams. More or less as expected.

Eventually you look for the pick, which is what I think they're trying to set them up for.

But whats worrying is just how bad the NE pass rush is. At least last year we had guys like Anderson who you could trust for a sack or two to break momentum. This year Jones is ok, but he's more of an allarounder and less of a pure edge rush.

if we had a decent defense this game would be over....

Why in the world does Matt Patricia still have a job here?

The fans really need to get vocal about this and pressure a change, because the Brady window is closing and we're never going to win another Superbowl with this humiliating defense.

I don't like Patricia either, but if you think the Bears defense would suck if Patricia were the DC there right now,you're nuts......it's the talent over coaching as the more important aspect 8 days a week.

So you expect the Bills to cough the ball up 5 times in the next half? Because that's how we "stopped" them last time. If this defense doesn't get turnovers, it's abused all day long. It's been that way since 2006, actually, only some of us are too ******* blind to see.

We can't complain?

The only reason last year we went to the Superbowl is we had a top 10 All time offense.

The only reason this year that we will go 12-4/13-3 is we have a top 10 All time offense.

The D is a joke, it needs to change.

Talib changes everything IMO. Never underestimate the value of having at least one above-average CB on your roster.

CaliPatsFan12 · Nov 11, 2012

Im not gonna except to much from talib one man wont fix this defense, theres a reason why the Bucs traded him if he was really good they wouldnt have traded him away for just a 4th I understand all the problems but something doesnt add up

Are you watching the same game I am?
2 or 3 sacks so far, plenty of pressures, one QB forced fumble.

the patriots need a new defensive coordinator and scheme change.

bill is outdated
