Not sure what more anyone could ask for. they were championship D's b/c every time they failed the QB and the O picked them up. the difference btw winning the first 2 SBs and losing the 2 they lost was that when the D choked late in the first 2 they gave Brady enough time to work with while the last 2 they didn't give him time to overcome their mistakes.

They beat Philly because the Pats D intercepted McNabb twice with under 8 minutes left. Harrison's pick clinched the game. I agree that the D allowed the Panthers to retake the lead late, and Brady came from behind for the game-winner in that SB. They held the greatest show on turf to 17 points vs. St. Louis. So yea. You're general take on it is generally wrong. The Pats defense wasn't about limiting yards, never has been. All those SBs the other QB had more passing yards, but those Pats D were built for generating turnovers and making stops in red zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't talking about the Philly game, was talking about the first 2 wins and the 2 losses. They became the FIRST D in SB history to blow a double digit lead in the 4th qtr of a SB vs. the Rams, 2 years later they did it again. they may have been built for what you say but they also folded in big spots far too often only to be rescued by Brady and the O. they had good, solid Ds but they never had a great D like Denver last year or Seattle before them.

Alright bud, I know you're going to keep splitting hairs here... so that's cool. I don't care enough to talk about it further. The Patriots were build around a savvy veteran defense in their early years of dominating, and they contributed a lot to championship wins.

But the D and making the most of any advantage played a huge part in getting them to those Superbowls. Early in Brady's career they did not blow teams away like they do now. Early on most of the games were flat out dogfights. Not sure but it wasn't till Moss, then Gronk and the Serial killer that they started blowing teams away. I could be wrong but it's how I remember it. You're correct. The 2007 season is when the blowouts started to become a normal thing. They added Moss and Welker that off season and game 1 they beat the crap out of us. They never looked back until they ran into the Giants in the Super Bowl.

I know but that was the season the Pats offense really took off and started blowing people out is my point. They still blew out multiple teams down the stretch of that season.

PatsFanTX Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Defense and Vinatierri earned the first few rings. Super-offense Brady had a hard time winning it all without a defense. Revis helped him get the last one... well, that and Pete Carroll, and cheating of course. What did Revis do to help the Pats? Hell, the guy couldn't even get around the back judge in the Super Bowl giving up a crucial Seattle TD. Revis was riding in the caboose for the Pats Super Bowl run.

Snell41 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 What? If Chad didn't tear his rotator cuff he could have done Alex Smith? What did the rotator cuff have to do with it? I'm saying if Chad didn't tear his rotator cuff he would have probably been that era's Alex Smith. He wasn't nearly what some people were making him out to be. He was the king of taking what the D gave him before and after the injury. Tons of dump offs and short passes, a lot of pussy ball. Just like Smith.

But, they still don't win or lose on their own. Citing the GOAT QB, or the other 4-5 elite QBs, is absurd. You are citing hedge cases (yes, the top 4-5 QBs in the league are the exception, not the norm - and in many cases still need a balanced team to win it all, so you're doubly-wrong) to try and disprove that "teams win, not individuals"... a statement that is about as Captain Obvious a statement as there is. In other words, an average QB can not win on its own, but an elite QB can. Precisely my point. 4 hours ago, Integrity28 said: The wronger you get, while trying to steer this towards an agenda, the more you'll dig in.
