  1. Id argue that giving up only 20 was more of a testament to the game that Cam had. He simply kept Brady off the field and really limited the amount of drives that the patriots would have. He made so many plays on 3rd down with both his arm and his legs and some of our TD drives were like 8 minutes long. But yeah like someone already said other than in the first qtr when hardy sacked brady on 3rd down i cant remember us getting a legitimate stop

     

    We got one legitiment stop all game. Poor defensive showing. Had Cam and the O wet the bet the Pats would have scored damn near 40. Like us they marched right down the entire field on virtually every possession. 

  2. To the folks complaining about the defense "not getting off the field on third down", while I agree 100% about the missed tackles and disappearing rush please remember that they had like 7 drives all game, 1 which ended in a punt and two in turnovers.  Carolina's offense did pretty much the exact same thing to them except without the turnovers.  This is what happens when talented teams featuring both good offenses and good defenses play each other. 

     

    You cant count the last TO. It was a desperation heave to the in-zone from like the 25 yard line when our whole D knew that was what they were gonna do. 

     

    The fact of the matter is they marched right down the field on 6 of 7 possessions. Essentially we only stopped their O one time all game. That is beyond pathetic! 2 if you count Riddleys fumble. We stop them 2 times all game? 

     

    Before the final drive with 50 seconds left they scored on like 4 of 6 possessions. And it wasnt like they were getting short fields. Carolina was scoring right with them and they started about every drive from their own 20. 

     

    That was not a good performance and they better be able to get more stops against the Saints. 

  3. In the end it was enough but they tackled quite poorly and allowed plays to get more than they could have after first contact. They could have been much better simply by tackling better and not getting penalties in big situations. 

     

    Anyone that tries to say we played good D on monday night doesnt know football. 

     

    On top of only getting them off the field on 3rd down ONCE the entire game (one punt), we missed tons of tackles, gap problems, gashed on the run, CBs getting abused, numerous big defensive penalties, etc. 

     

    Luckily our offense was able to move the ball well themselves and were able to keep Brady and their O off the field for a large portion of the game. 

     

    Normally you will not win trading scores with Brady. ie The other QB and offense will blink first. We can thank Riddley / his fumbleistis and our O for this win. 

     

    Your not gonna shut down NE on D but the least you can do is force a few punts during the entire game.
