This may be glass half full, but I have a theory on this. Offenses have clued in on when we send the house (3rd down basically), and so have a quicker internal clock - but it's still led to a lot of incompletions. We have forced our opponents to punt the most in the league. It seems we've traded sacks for incompletions.

 

Like I said...that could be BS half full theory. 

 

As for the bold. Pretty much. On to next year.

Well on the Dolphins game winning drive the defense got no sacks and no incompletions on 3rd down and thus that was the game.

As for those man free blitzes the Patriots like to use well I think opposing QB's are salivating at the opportunity to pick those apart b/c aside from Gilmour the secondary can be had and in the last game Gilmour was picked apart by Devante Parker.

On paper the defense looks good in terms of PPG & YPG allowed but that's mostly due to the inferior competition they played when they were 9-0. Look what's happened when they saw better competition? If the defense was truly that elite they would've been able to hold a 24-20 lead late in the 4th at home against a lowly Miami team. The defense almost blew the Bills game the week before as well. If this was the 2000 Ravens defense then yes I would give this Patriots team a great chance to win the whole thing but this is not even close and our QB is playing not much better than that Ravens QB Trent Dilfer.

Bucky Books, writing that Brady is the "worst QB in the play-offs" and that he's holding the Pats back:

Despite his unparalleled resume, Brady will have to hope the squad can carry him to the title as the team's weakest link.

...which I find irksome.
