Because he got high because he got high because he got high I was going to stop the run but then I got high I was going to cover my man two but then I got high.
Now the defense is Swiss cheese and I know why yeah yay because I got high because I got high

Yeah, but that game was competitive. This looks like the 2002 run defense.

Alright we spotted them the 1st quarter...enough of that ! Time to get serious for the next 3 quarters .

1st Q observations:
- The defense is still hot garbarge
- Brady can only do so much with zero weapons beyond Gronk

Serious question, how many teams have gone into a game with only 3 active WRs. This seems unheard of. Especially when your best WR is tops a #2/3 receiver and the other two are castoffs... WTF BB

Where did the money go?

I thought we were pretty close to the cap

This is my exact thoughts.

We pay everyone low. Gronk should make more. Brady is 10 mil low.

But, we are close to the cap. Go see the rams and kc. We have less cap room than they do.

Another FG would be welcome here

There's no chance this Drive doesn't end in a touchdow. If Patricia had any balls it would be 7 nothing right now

Well, we knew the end had to come eventually. Still, it ain't easy.

This D is going to make Stafford look like the 2nd coming of Peyton Manning

Losing the battle on the LOS.

The last time Belichick proper evaluated DL talent was Akiem Hicks, who he failed to re-sign at what ended up being a reasonable deal.

Disappointing.

Still time to get a first down.

We just do not have enough talent. There is only so much coaching can hide.

Or exacerbate..,

2:30 of possession. -1 passing yard... ewwww

This board is like Jimmy Kimmel's Celebrity Mean Tweets

Defense is actually WORSE than last year which I didn’t think was possible

This has very little to do with Flores and is all Belichick.

thats what the pats built themselves on, but i think the other teams have figured it out and start to take advantage of it. hit the low risk plays bc we cant cover ****

The Patriots Defense is as devoid of talent as you will see these days. Worst defensive talent in the league

Rams and KC have QBs on rookie deals.

Maybe Bill's outdated defensive philosophy could work if the team had premium talent. It doesn't so you need to adapt to what few strengths this group has.

next drive, 2 hand offs to Sony Michel then a short pass to White...callin it now 3 and out
