Just thinking the same. Some starters out on defense but I can't remember the last time I felt the Pats looked so "blah" with play makers. :nonono:

I mean sure they might have their usual season and the AFC is garbage but....


Hogan sucks. I need my Julian.

The lack of speed at linebacker is INSANE, that's all on Bill.

they'll be 1-2 looking up at the 3-0 Dolphins with buzzards circling if they don't start playing something better than middling college-level football.

I'm used to atrocious early-season defense but worried they've just let this roster drift too much. If Hightower's just another dude, who do they have on that side of the ball? And Edelman will help, but not THIS much.

Who's going to give up more points per game this season, the Celtics or the Patriots?

Titans beat the Jags earlier 9-6.

Mike Vrabel=good defensive coach

Remember when the Pats had guys like that on defense who did things? Like Vrabel.......

remember when the Jags lit us up like a Christmas tree 7 days ago? Lots of teams' highlight reels going to have early-season plays vs. the Patriots on them.

We caught a break right now. Could easily be behind by a lot more.

I like Michel, very talented but he cant do anything with no space or blocking. White/Gronk/Edelman/Gordon(in theory)/White/Michel is a good set of weapons, my issue is the lack of talent on defense. They have 5 or 6 guys on defense that I'd consider pretty good or better, and the rest are bums for the most part.

Everything is underneath for the pats. They have nothing or nobody to stretch the defense

Don't know, looks like our highly-regarded rookie might have the yips. Don't you hate it when that happens?
