Patriots defense

[phil112]

Reading around the web, watching a few news/sports shows, and one thing stands out to me. Everyone is talking about how good Brady and his offense played and how he is one of the best, if not the best.
Well, while I'm certainly not going to disagree with any of that, I think the defense is getting overlooked here. I was just blown away out how "lights out" they played the phins. I absolutely see this team favored to go back to back in the super bowl. Sure am glad I'm a Pats fan...sure am glad I suffered thru those seemingly never-ending years of Grogan and stayed with them.

Just like most years the defense gets better as the season goes on, it seems to start to jell starting in late oct into nov. While in the first 5-6 games either the run D or the pass D sputtered at times, last night it all came together.
