The Patriots have the #32 defense in the NFL. And the Pats are also last in pass defense. How are you going to win a Super Bowl w/o defense?I think the Patriots can win a Super Bowl with the defense they have, but they will need Tom Brady to score 24+ points per game in order to do that. The defense in between the 20's has not been great at all, but once a team gets in the red zone, the Patriots continue to bend but not break. For example, three weeks ago against the Dallas Cowboys, the Patriots' D continued to hold Romo into field goals and kept the offense in the game. Plus, they still have an ability to force turnovers.

”Finesse and football? Yes,” Patriots quarterback Tom Brady agreed. ”This isn’t finesse sport. You don’t go very far if you’re a finesse team.”
And yet, when the Patriots throw as often as they do, it’s hard to avoid the label. Naturally, Brady balked...

Tom Brady
Defenses have been attacking the Pats offense differently in recent weeks, and Brady and the offense have had some difficulty adjusting. Things won’t get much easier this week against a Giants D that leads the league in sacks. Only two teams have allowed fewer passing TDs than the Giants this year, so it would be prudent to temper expectations for Brady at 250 yards...

Last Sunday, the Steelers exacted their first measure of revenge against Tom Brady's Patriots in quite some time. About seven years, actually. Similarly, the Ravens, who had been tormented by the Steelers for the past five years (at least when a backup QB wasn't starting for Pittsburgh), finally got some payback of their own in Week 1.In both cases, I wouldn't say the...

Giants-Patriots Preview
Nearly four years ago, Eli Manning upstaged Tom Brady to give the New York Giants a stunning Super Bowl win over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots.
That's probably one reason why Manning claims he's in the same class as Brady, and his play this season is backing up that uncharacteristic statement.
