It's easy, and only takes a few moments.No turnover was problematic I agree but we did something by getting off on 3rd down more often than not today. They stopped the Jets offense for large periods and even won the time of possession battle.But the D caused no turnovers period. This D led the league in TO's as we all know because it was repeated ad nauseum.
The steelers played like **** the entire half just like us but the reason they are playing next sunday and we are not is because they forced TO's and we did not.
The Patriots D didn't lose the game today. They gave us more than enough opportunities to get back into the game from short field positions. This was totally on the offense.

The offense laid an egg that the defense couldn't cover. They did their job as well as we could have expected them too.
I'm not apologizing to you The Dynasty. The Patriots didn't create a turnover but they did improve on 3rd down today.Where were the forced turnovers that would definitely continue in the playoffs?
Maybe the inexperience caught up to them?
The Patriots gave up 28 points to the Jets, the Jets held the Pats to 14 points, facts are facts.
I think for all the crap I took over the last month, I deserve an apology from you and a few others on here.
No doubt that was problematic and a horrible drive against the Patriots defense. It was the one drive that the Jets really did as they pleased. The rest were short field scores set up because of the offensive failures.They gave up 28 points...... thats doing their job as well as expected????
Dude, come on. Yes the offense is to blame as well, but dont just throw everything towards the offense. The offense scored late in the third making it a 1 score game, and then what happened? The defense didnt step up and get a stop, the allowed a TD making it a 2 score game again.

The offense lost this game for the Patriots today. The defense played to an expected level that should have been good enough for the offense to do something.

You argued that turnovers declined in the playoffs. We've seen that turnovers have increased in the playoffs. It was unfortunate that the Patriots defense couldn't force any today given their form of the season. How many is in in 2 weeks not, over 20? They were far better on 3rd down than they have been for a while.You told me time after time that turnovers actually increase during the playoffs and the Patriots would continue to force them despite their youth. But, in fact both of those did not happen today. I was right.
The defense gave up 28 points to the Jets, that is not an expected level in my book. It showed how much the defense depended on the offense throughout the season, again one of the points that I made and you and others continued to shoot down.

If you want to blame the Patriots defense for playing reasonably well and being hung out to dry by the Patriots offense today then be my guest.
The defense was good enough today without being above that. This loss is on the offense absolutely smashing them.
No, you argued that good quarterbacks and good teams don't turn the ball over in the playoffs. I can pull the quotes if you like? If you want an apology about turnovers then you can have it for that as the Patriots didn't create any. To say that was the reason we lost though is stretching it.This is about the Patriots. I said the dependence on the turnovers might come back to cost them, you and others said no, it will continue. Well, look facts are are facts. It did come back to cost them because they didnt force any.
The Jets were 6-13 on 3rd down, not that great for the Patriots.
The defense played well, but not well enough for when the offense struggled, which was exactly my point that the defense could not win a game when the offense struggled.....

Whilst I agree with you that the defensive issues reared some of their heads today, how you can fault a unit that was defending short fields and getting the Jets off the field.
There was only the one drive where I was really pissed of with the D and as you said it was the drive that put the Jets up two scores. Special teams fluffed two recoveries they could have had, 1 was for the match winning score the other to end the game.
Of the 3 units the defense was the best today. Special teams were crap and the offense diabolical. The D gave the offense more than enough opportunities to put points on the board.
The whole thing was a failure of the Patriots team as a unit.
because if he is , that is a sad excuse on him and Brady.... i love both of them , but right now this is not thier finest moment... they choked.... both he and Brady were out coached and out played by better qb and coach tonight.... i could see the locker room last year ,but this year poor excuse.. we are not the san diego chargers, that coach is not norv turner, but he coached like it..... say what you want but the truth hurts....
