Patriots defense

[darthseinfeld]

Kinda reminds me of our old "No Name Defense"

So far they have been historically good this year. But they have Stephan Gilmore, Devin McCourty and a bunch of solid guys. Its kind of amazing how good they have been this year. Statistically they are up there with the 2000 Ravens, who were loaded with big name talent

Yep, they lost their best DT in free agency and just keep plugging along. Not one man is out of position...ever. No missed tackles. They played mistake free and well coached football. We should be jealous.

They are overrated based on what I saw today.

The Cowboys slowed themselves down more than that defense did.

Looked like a lot of tough sledding to me. Even considering the weather. Our best pass catcher was completely shut out

 

[Captain43Crash]

Solid players who just do their job, over and over and over again!

 

[Carson]

Not saying we win or lose. But man I would’ve loved to play in in decent weather

I can't be sure, but I think that had more to do with the weather than it did with their defense.

 

[DFWJC]

They can be run on, but that pass defense is suffocating.

Whats even worse is they were missing the other mcourty and sanu and we couldn't win !!! between this game the jets game, not showing up for the saints or packers , dont even want to mention the vikings missing 1 of their best wideouts focus on Delvin Cook and we should have had that game but nope ! ughhhh little frustrated right now !!

Bad weather games are a bad game to be judging how good a defense is. How much of it was the weather conditions inhibiting the offense and not the defense? I don't think their defense should get credit for that. I'm not saying they aren't good, I just think it wasn't just them that our offense was fighting against. The weather and the refs did a heck of a job at stopping our offense as well.

Same thing in each of our losses. We shoot ourselves. They take advantage of turnovers and we don't even get 1.

Exactly right. We are forcing ourselves to play a perfect game.

Missed field goals, blocked punts, picks inside our own 30. Recipe for disaster

Its a testament to their coaching.

Their defense an ST score points and against good teams we can't score with the #1 offense.

Its more an observation of what they have accomplished so far this year. Statistically they are up there with the greats, althoug there is still time for them to get exposed

Fundamentally sound
Do the little things well
Wrap up, don't miss tackles
Don't blow assignments
Create turnovers

Everything we don't do....

Lamar Jackson exposed them. Nobody else has done a thing.

They can be run on, but that pass defense is suffocating.

I thought their short-yardage defense was good as well. Dallas didn't fare well at all on 2nd and 2 or 3.

That observation of what they have accomplished so far isn't a measure I care about because it wasn't against us in good weather. That defense wouldn't fare so well against Dak's offense in good weather conditions. I want a neutral field rematch in good weather!!!!

But the observation of the op was how good they have been so far this season
