This years Pats defense is one of the best ever


Recommended Posts

- Less than 7 ppg allowed

-18 ints to 1 td pass

-have allowed 3 tds on 91 drives

-dating back to the rams SB have allowed 30 points in their past 8 games (!!)

Yes they've faced trash teams they have destroyed those trash teams, which is what good defenses do. The 2000 ravens didnt play a murderers row either. Holy poo I am so jelly of NE.

Jets twice, bills, dolphins, skins, giants, and the steelers. 

12-32 combined record. If you take the bills out, you get a whopping 7-31... 

Ouch

And clearly that Steeles offense, even with Ben, has been one of the worst in the league. 

What they're doing on defense is unprecedented for sure, but holy fuging poo what a pathetic schedule thus far

Wait until the play an NFL offense and we’ll see... It’s actually a complete fuging joke and a mockery of the sport the schedule they’ve had so far. Never in my life have I seen any stretch so easy for a team.

This is what was being talked about on NFL radio and one of the guys was asked If the Pats D really that good or is it good because of playing against bad teams and he answered "Their defense is good because the Pats were playing bad teams".

My gosh i hate the patriots so much!!!!  Really hate them!  It ticks me off that they are pretty much always making the playoffs due to the teams they play twice a year as pointed out by others.  Come on...If the panthers had to play Bills, Jets and Dolphins every year we'd be golden!!  Having said that yes I admit the patriots are still a great team, they got their Bleep together!  Brady is KING at throwing the ball hitting his WR in stride!  Still hate him tho!

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
