Not the one where the all star corner got roasted in the two most important games of the season
how does 2018 Gilmore compare to 2019 Gilmore?

2019 Gilmore was somehow remarkably better. Seemed like he finally was 100% comfortable as well as stepped into his own prime. Gilmore's season, in this pass-friendly era of the NFL, was pretty absurd. He was the clear DPOY frontrunner for a reason. 2018 was not bad, and pretty damn good to be honest. 2019 was just that much better.
Agreed. Not saying the coaching shouldn’t have adjusted, they should have, but the coaching failed a lot of ways down the stretch. Unfortunately, it was still on Gilmore to make the plays, which he didn’t. So, amazing season, but not the best of all time for the patriots.I know it’s not completely fair but I still can’t get the last Miami game out of my head. Cost us the season IMO.

Where's 2009 Leigh Bodden??
I kid, I kid
2003 Ty Law was special, but somehow I really think 2019 Gilmore reached some new heights. It didn't end in a Super Bowl win, but that's hardly Gilmore's fault.
Not sure but he had plenty of bad ones. He routinely got toasted by Keyshawn Johnson for some reason. Struggled against the likes of Marvin Harrison, Eric Moulds and Oronde Gadsden. There were also times where JAG’s would have good days on him.What was Ty Law’s worst game? Of course no one remembers.
Fair enough... that all makes sense.Did the Tennessee game happen as well where the Titans couldn’t even throw on the Patriots? How about Buffalo, where he had one miscommunication with McCourty and otherwise shutdown Brown? Gilmore has made a lot of tremendous clutch plays for the Patriots.
The recency bias isn’t about Gilmore’s greatness (all objective people outside New England and analytics sites have him as easily the best CB in the league.). The recency bias is only by those who are diminishing an all-time great season due to one game, one which it’s acknowledged the coaching staff choked like a dog against vs. Miami.

Without Gilmore, it would not be shocking at all if the Patriots didn’t win the division. One loss to Buffalo? Believe it.
