Patriots: The hardest hitting defense in the league?

[D-Money]

It would be nice if we didnt give up big chunks of plays at the same time.

Is, you can actually see these guys getting better every game

Apparently the cool thing to do is to talk this team down...

Given the Giants' stats in terminating QBs over the past few weeks, 5 in 7 games, they would make a solid argument.

I read the OP and went down to the next post and saw exactly what I was thinking! The G-men look vicious!

Who are the top 3?

Steelers, Ravens, Jets or Giants take your pick.

Halfway through the 2001 season, the Pats were barely a .500 team....But there was one trend that our opponents kept subtly saying...that is "they are a very physical team".

I see a lot of similarities in this team.

They might not be the hardest hitting team in the NFL right now, but come December and January, I can see these guys becoming the type of players that will be "laying wood"...on cold bodies when the playoffs will once again go through Foxboro.

I think they are the hardest hitting team in the NFL. They out-slugged the Raven goons and everyone else.

The middle of the field is the Death Zone for opposing offenses and running backs are now also paying the price. Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhardt must be living in the whirlpools this week.

I don't know what is going on but it appears that the Patriots now have the speed (and coaching) to get in position to blowup ball carriers. I am sure that Cleveland is watching the game film and their WRs are breaking out in a cold sweat....
