Wow, that was actually a really great conversation. The one thing even Carter missed, however, is the answer to the question: how did the Patriots' defense get better?
Eye-test...started last year. This D is for real. They can play any style and play it extremely well.
That said, I don't believe in crowning champions (except maybe in the NBA). It's a long season - this one should be extremely interesting. Tom Brady must be out of his mind excited about the possibilities.
(And for another thread: this off-season and next year should be incredibly interesting, as well.)
ESPN and Fox "Loud Men in Fancy Suits" shows focus only on offense.
If they judged NE-KC by total FOOTBALL (Offense/Defense/SpecialTeams), the convo for 2019 would be less superficial. But hey, ratings.
Someone should inform Fantasy Football Legend Nick Wright the difference between NE's and KC's defenses and special teams is canyon-esque and has only gotten wider.
