NFL record: Pats 6 straight games giving up 300+ yards passing...

[oldrover]

Any other team, what would their record be? 2-4? At BEST? More likely in Browns country...

And yet this team is 4-2, leading the division, and should be 5-1.

Thank God that while the defense is still figuring everything out back there...

...the GOAT is still flying high.

I’m amazed that not even the 2011 and early 2012 squads managed to do that.

I'm surprised it doesn't say 500+ yards, that's what it felt like watching the games to me! lol. not giving up hope their getting better though

So the odds are good they won't give up 300+ this week just based on probabilities.

Someone flunked statistics.

Guys, BB and MattyP are just taking the ole' "bend but don't break" to all new highs.

Sorta more like "Bend, bend some more, bend over, let it break a little, aw-fu**it, it's broke, let Brady clean it up."

When Lombardi #6 is held this February, we'll all be complimenting the coaches on their defensive master-minding with this strategy.

Yea 2011 allowed 300 5 straight and 6 of their first 7 games

We may never draft another defensive player again!

We are become the Manning error (sic) Clots!

A nice back handed compliment if there was one.......

"Coach Belichick, it's impressive how your team has given up 300+ passing yards in each game and still managed to earn a 4-2 record."

How do you respond......."Thanks, I think?"

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

The good news...Teams won't poach Matt Patricia from us post season!

 

[PatsDeb]

And yet, we're 4-2 and the points against has improved in the last two weeks. I'll give up 300 yds. passing this weekend in exchange for a win.

Well since games aren't decided by passing yards many other factors would determine what their record would be.
Considering we have had 3 bad defensive games and 3 good ones it seems at the moment that Brady (compared to an average replacement) has made a 1 game difference, specifically the Houston game.

I haven't seen bend don't break. I have seen.

Chiefs shatter into a million pieces
Saints don't bend or break but play conservative with a lead
Houston bend a lot and break a lot
Carolina bend break shake rattle roll die
Tampa dominate early bend a little later
Jets. Such early then **** them down.

Again I will say football is not a game to be analyzed by statistics.

It's not like the Pats are giving up tons of yards but are holding teams to few points. Pats are ranked 31 out of 32 in points allowed. The defense sucks.

Someone flunked statistics.

...but in a friendly way!

 

[long distance]

Its just BB trying to break every statistical record anyone can find..

What are the deals through week 7?

 

[fnordcircle]

Dreams can come true.

 

[TennisBallHead]

Their defensive draft picks lately have been stinky garbage (other than Flowers, and maybe Wise). That, and letting too many good players go. It's caught up to them.

I really wish they kept Hicks.

Yeah, they've been absolutely terrible but they have improved somewhat the last two weeks. I'm waiting to see what the unit is playing like two weeks from Sunday before I write them off for the year.
