its not so much their defense that worries me. when a good defense meets a good offense, usually they end up somewhere in the middle.....so we will have some wins. their defense will have some wins...normal course.
its their offnese against our defense that worries me....they have Evans, Godwin, Brown....three #1 recievers. Brate and Gronk....and Brady at the helm.....and we have inexperienced secondary.....I like Diggs, but he gave up a lot of deep plays last year....he did well against weaker opponents but got owned against better WRs. lets not forget he is only a second year player. and who is manning the other spot? a rookie or brown? neither is good...
they will pick our defense apart. we may make 1 stop. 2 stops...but then give up a big play....we won't be able to keep them down....and you are not going to go from bottom feeding to average or above average defense in one off season, no matter how much you tried to change...
and the defensive collapse, will put pressure on the offense, make us one dimentional and that plays right into their hand....they have a lot of pass rush up front and we may make 1 play, 2 play but then collapse in crucial times...their defense is just too good against a one dimentional offense.
they key for us and its a long shot, is pass rush and some ability to collapse the pocket from the inside, since Brady is the master of stepping up in the pocket, by an extra second and make those throws....and then our ability to run the ball and shorten the game and reduce their number of possessions...
I am sure when we lose all Dak haters will point fingers...its inevitable.
