Matt Patricia. IMO is THE missing piece in the defense.

I know 40 points look bad, but if we adjust for the Brady turnover and the kick return, the D held them under 30 pts. Patrick Mahomes stats should've been 3 ints.
Gotta wonder if Fat Matt's 1/2 time adjusting would've been different than Flores'sMatt Patricia. IMO is THE missing piece in the defense.
That cuts both ways. Mahomes overthrew two wide-open receivers for TDs in the first half.
I give DMC credit for running down the kick returner after 97 yards. That was a good effort.
Howe credits Gilmore for 2/4 for 18 yards plus PBU against KC. He totals Gilmore on the season for 13/33, 124 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 7 PBUs and 3 flags. Since his return from concussion last year Gilmore's playing at a level that has me wondering who the best post-Ty Law corner in NE is: Gilmore right now or Revis in 2014. And I think I might be leaning towards Gilmore.

I get that they have no pass rush but the run defense has been so disappointing. Gave up 2 picks for Shelton and he hasn't helped at all.
The Pats D has given up an average of 78 yards on the ground the past three weeks. I'm nit sure what's "so disappointing" about that. Also, with Brown out, Shelton had good game against the run Sunday night, and even got a pressure on Mahomes. He's still developing in his role.
The defense is still evolving (and the new individual players within it), but, for the past three games, the front-6 overall has been light-years better than the 2017 version. Shelton is still part of that.
"Gave up 2 picks" is true, but a bit misleading. They gave up a 2019 3rd (probably bottom 4), plus their 2018 5th. The worst that works out to is a late 3rd.
That was a feckin Touchback.
The zebras throughout that playoff season were the most criminally incompetent in the Entire history of the NJFL.

I have no idea if Flores did or didn't make any adjustments, but what I do know is while Kelce and Watkins were pretty much under control, Hill and Hunt went wild.Our halftime “adjustments” got worse for the first time since I can remember... honestly, I think the Pats just went with what worked in the first half and KC adjusted and put us on their heals. I love the idea of 2 game plans - one for the first half and one for the 2nd.
As of Week 7:
Average = 19th
- Points/Game - 18th
- YPG - 20th
- 3rd down % - 27th
- Net passing yards/attempt - 20th
- Net rushing yards/attempt - 21st
- TO % - 7th
Opponent offensive rankings (PPG) - UPDATED THROUGH WEEK 6:
Average = 17th
- Texans - 21st
- Jaguars - 29th
- Lions - 14th
- Dolphins - 22nd
- Colts - 13th
- Chiefs - 2nd
Unsurprisingly, the stats and averages took a bit of a dip with the #2 offense in the NFL coming to town (Saints are up at #1 now).
