As expected today was “Pile on the Patriots Defense” day by all those who seemed shocked that this group of rookies and second/third year players are not instantly a shutdown defense. Yes, letting the Bills put up as much offense as they did was a little scary, but not entirely unexpected, unless you still thought Tedy Bruschi, Rodney Harrison, Ty Law and Willie McGinest were still playing for New England.
As far as all the pundits are concerned the vaunted Miami Dolphins offense is going to hang 77 points on the Patriots next Monday night, and New England’s only hope of winning will be to score 80.
The Patriots defensive woes have been just one of the few storylines that we’ve been getting hammered with ever since we stopped beating teams by forty points. Personally I’m just sick and tired of all the lazy journalism, the uniformed opinions, and faux outrage about all things surrounding the new Patriots.
I take a Vollmer-sized swing at all the moronic analysis after the jump…
