Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2562699, member: 153"] Would've loved to go to the game, but... on patsfans, it was different. There have been several year long threads on this issue. There is consensus this morning. This was me back in December: [URL="https://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/how-are-the-pats-12-3-and-on-the-verge-of-home-field-throughout-mind-boggling-defensive-stats.1142517/#post-5188703"]How are the Pats 12-3 and on the verge of Home Field throughout ? Mind boggling defensive stats.[/URL] "Patriots have had a very weak schedule. They have 3 wins against playoff teams: Saints, Steelers, and Falcons. They've played a lot of very weak teams. People giving the defense kudos this weekend for stopping the Bills in the second half. Except has anyone looked to see how the Bills have played in the second half for the last few weeks? Going backward: 3 points, 3 points, 0 points, 0 points, 3 points. That's 9 points in 5 second halfs. Less than a point per quarter." This was me last week: [URL="https://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/expert-predictions-thread.1143345/page-2#post-5244319"]"Expert" predictions thread[/URL] "The Patriots D scares me to death. I'm expecting a loss. The recent Barnwell article summed up my feelings. The Patriots offense is putting the D is fantastic position. When I read that the Jags defense had to face 4 games worth of offensive possessions MORE than the Patriots D, it jibed with what I've been seeing. I have not been convinced by them all year, but couldn't really put my finger on it. Just team speed in the middle maybe? But then when I read the Barnwell article about how the D greatly benefits from the Patriots offense, unlike any other team in the league, it gave me pause. By comparison, the Jags D faced 4 games worth more offensive possessions than the Patriots D. And that's because of the Patriots O." [/QUOTE]
