Re: What's the defensive gameplan for NE?

It is worth noting, that though the Pats have put up a gaudy amount of points, the best team they've faced, defensively, is San Diego, at 15th in PA on the season. Four of the teams they've clobbered (Jets, Bengals, Browns, and Dolphins) are in the bottom six point-defending defenses in the league, and of their other victims, the Bills, rank 18th and the Cowgirls 21st.

I'm not saying we are going to shut them down, but we allow the least yards per play (4.3) in the league, are 3rd in fewest points per game allowed, second in 3rd down defense, and 4th in total yards allowed per game.

To put it quite bluntly, New England has not played a defense like ours this year. I would think this game is going to be a point of pride for GGgrilliamsss, as his unit is being asked to carry the offense, so I expect us to play a stout game against the Pats.

If there is any game on the Patriots schedule with "letdown game" written all over it, it's this one.
