Patriots defense had worst game of season vs. Ravens

by

If there’s one point I think Bill Belichick might be hammering home this week is just how shredded the Pats defense was by the Ravens back in Week 3.

Chew on some of these numbers:

  • Flacco 382 yards passing.
  • Ravens 503 yards total offense.
  • Flacco 9.7 yards/attempt.
  • Ravens 4.7 yards per rushing attempt.
  • Patriots Defense 0 Sacks. 1 QB hit.
  • Ravens 4 80-plus yard touchdown drives.

Some other things of note from Pro Football Focus:

  • Just one Patriot defender “in the green” for grading out above average: Devin McCourty.
  • 6 Patriots defensive starters “in the red” for grading out below average.

And despite all this awfulness the Patriots still only lost by one point as time expired. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

We should certainly expect a better performance from the Pats D, and not just because they’ve replaced/moved 4 of their five top defensive backs since the last game.

Ten things we love about the Patriots-Ravens rivalry – WEEI | Christopher Price

Whether you are talking about the players, the coaches (Belichick gave Harbaugh a reference when he was interviewing for the head coaching job) or the owners, both franchises appreciate and respect the way the other does business. Both are in a select group of model, stable franchises that always seem to be at or near the top of the league. New England has operated a steady ship for the last decade plus, while the Biscotti family has done the same with the Ravens. At the heart of that relationship is the shared respect between Baltimore personnel man Ozzie Newsome and Belichick – Newsome played for the Browns, and cut his teeth working with Belichick when the coach was in Cleveland.

Gronkowski’s arm broke at the end of the protective plate that was implanted in his arm. Gronkowski sustained the new injury when he went hard to the ground while diving for a pass against the Houston Texans in the first quarter of the Patriots AFC Divisional Playoff game. There will always be a risk to the area at the end of the plate, the source explained, because of a “collection of stress.” The injury could have occurred “three years from now” in the same spot, said the source.

So they just leave this plate in there and it can break your arm again? Well that bodes well for the future, ugh…
