bigduke6 Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 You did say it " never was impressive "....in the early SB teams, they had Ty Law , Otis Smith and Lawyer Milloy.......in the 2014 SB, they had Revis, Browner , McCourthy and a certain rookie named Butler..... Find me a defensive stat that's more important than pts allowed.... If anything, NE's defense is always underrated because everyone talks non stop about their offense.... In last year's SB, they held the historically good Atlanta offense to 21 pts.....I would say it was terrible.....and completely blank them for the last quarter and a half.... clearly i never wrote "never". Pats go through defensive backs like we go through QBs. that tells me they find the spot plug and play. the majority of their secondary players are no names, sure a few stick. and every once in awhile they open the bank for one. but none of that made me fear their defense last year when we played them. and if it wasnt for a colossal fail on the falcons' defense, we'd be talking about how much fun it was to watch the Pats lose that game and how their defense stunk.

Letting up before the ball even got there. The only thing missing was turning around and pointing at someone else. Edited July 30, 2017 by reddogblitz

See post # 314....3rd line...... As far as no names......Ty Law, Revis, McCourthy, Browner, Butler, Asante Samuel.....Rodney Harrison......etc....that's just in the secondary.....Vince Wilfork, Richard Seymour, Bruschi, Vrabel, Ninkowicz, McGinest...Junior Seau.....Hightower...Collins.....we'll agree to disagree....... My main point is I think NE's defense is often underrated because we focus on Brady.....Belichick is rarely putting a bad defense on the field...... Edited July 30, 2017 by Iron Maiden

Vince Wilfork, Richard Seymour, Bruschi, Vrabel, Ninkowicz, McGinest......Hightower...Collins, what do they have to do with the Pats secondary? ill agree to disagree, np there, but ive never thought of any Pats defense as top 10, ever. they get the job done no doubt, but they can be scored on. all the years of playing the pats and its always been the offense that worried me. Go Bills

Go Bills Just last year they were top 10..1st in points and 8th in yards allowed.....I'm pretty sure 2003 and 2004 they were also a top defense....A lot of people forget also 2007...the year they went 16-0...I think their D was ranked 4th in the league...everyone was talking about the offense of course.....but that team was stacked on both side of the ball..... Hopefully, the nightmare is over soon.....

Gilmore just gave up and stopped running...almost like he thought the ball was overthrown. Edited July 30, 2017 by Azucho98
BuffaloHokie13 Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Gee that looks familiar. Gilmore just gave up and stopped running...almost like he thought the ball was overthrown. He's been beaten by Brady so much that he already knew the result of the play
4merper4mer Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Gee that looks familiar. Gilmore just gave up and stopped running...almost like he thought the ball was overthrown. Or maybe he thought it was the first week of camp and the receiver was his teammate.
reddogblitz Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Or maybe he thought it was the first week of camp and the receiver was his teammate. No, he was loafin'.

I'm sure the Pats are regretting signing him after day 3 of training camp.
Iron Maiden Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Damn, so salty. I'm sure the Pats are regretting signing him after day 3 of training camp. I'm more concern with Brady and Cooks building on chemistry so early ......
Boatdrinks Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Or maybe he thought it was the first week of camp and the receiver was his teammate. Nope . Classic Gilmore. If he points at a NE teammate though, they will likely punch him in the face. So I say he drops that patented post - burn move. I'm more concern with Brady and Cooks building on chemistry so early ...... Why? They are guaranteed to win the SB anyway, ( according to USA Today) . The Bills aren't going anywhere. Why be concerned with the pre- ordained and the inevitable?

26CornerBlitz Posted August 1, 2017 Author Posted August 1, 2017 @MikeReiss Julian Edelman has been told to leave practice after starting a fight with CB Stephon Gilmore after an incomplete end-zone pass. @BenVolin Edelman and Gilmore just got tossed from practice after getting in a big fight. Edelman had to be pried away and carried off by Hogan
boco357 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 That fight would be like a Patriots-Cowboys Superbowl, hope for a double knockout I guess.
CommonCents Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Gilmore pushed Edelman, then Edelman threw Gilly to the ground and a wrestling match ensued with both helmets coming off. I want some odds one whether hair was pulled during this B word fight.
Captain Murica Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 @MikeReiss Julian Edelman has been told to leave practice after starting a fight with CB Stephon Gilmore after an incomplete end-zone pass. @BenVolin Edelman and Gilmore just got tossed from practice after getting in a big fight. Edelman had to be pried away and carried off by Hogan I was waiting for this to happen. Edelman is known to be a trash talker. He probably burned Gilmore and asked how he was able to pry all that cash away from the pats? lol
26CornerBlitz Posted August 1, 2017 Author Posted August 1, 2017 @MikeReiss Julian Edelman took exception to Stephon Gilmore holding him and then wrestled with him on the ground. Gilmore has also been told to leave. Incident lasted about 10-15 seconds. Bill Belichick has non-negotiable practice rule: No fights, and if you do fight, you are ejected.
