DEFENSE!

Hey guys, I have something to point out that most people have noticed lately: the patriots defense is bad. Ok,  fine it's not bad, ITS HORRIBLE, IT SUCKS! Ok, now I'm pushing it because sometimes their defense is good and other times it's not. I mean they only blew a lead to the Bills last Sunday, only to luckily win it on a Devin McCourty interception. Anyways, that's just one example. Let me show you the past Patriots games...

Patriots VS Titans Win 34-13
Patriots VS Cardinals Loss 20-18
Patriots VS Ravens Loss 31-30
Patriots VS Bills Win 52-28
Patriots VS Denver Broncos Win 31-21
Patriots VS Seahawks Loss 24-23
Patriots VS Jets Win 29-26
Patriots VS Rams Win 45-7
Patriots VS Bills 37-31 (Our defense was the worst that game)

So, it might not seem that our defense sucks but some of those losses were leads blown by our defense, and if we did win the games where our defense was bad, they were lucky wins. Also, during the Bills game our defense let up 35 first downs, the most this season. So yes, some might be scared to admit it but it's true, the Patriots defense is not at its best and it needs to improve if were going into the playoffs, or if we even make the playoffs. I still think well make the playoffs because of Tom Brady and our offense has improved. It's just our defense that is slacking.

I have one more thing to add, the Patriots defense isn't the only defense slacking, the Celtics have let up a lot of points compared to their average around 80 points let up a game last year. It's still the beginning of the season, maybe it's just a fluke. Hopefully it is...
