And this was an off night in my estimation for our defense. 1 sack, nearly 400 yards passing...
If this is the worst we look all year?
SUPER BOWL!

Our defensive ranking will drop this week, but we all know who the best D in the NFL is.

I didn't like writing that. Love Trufant.

They mean to have you breathing hard and making mistakes. By the 4th quarter, the opposing defense is supposed to be so tired that they can just run the ball down their throats. Our defense kept their pace all game long. Our defense seemed to wear out their offense, and this is why the last few drives we were able to stop them. Also, when you think about it, they threw the ball 58 times yesterday. This comes to less than 7 yards per attempt. This really isn't that bad in the scheme of things. The Patriots offense is a juggernaut, yet they were only able to put up 2 TD's and only 1 of those from within the Red Zone.
Another indicator: The Patriots had like four or five 3-n-outs all season. They had two in a row to end the game (if you count a "4-n-out" in there...) None bigger than the first one when we HAD to have it!!kidhawk":20y706nu said:What was impressive about this IMO was the defense was getting stronger as the game went on.
