    Dynamics are everything. Had Delanie NOT dropped that td pass in the 3rd and had the defense NOT hung it up at halftime, Marcus’s and teams mental state and attention to detail would have been different for the rest of the game. He may not have had those 2 other interceptions. You could also say had Marcus not thrown those interceptions in the first half, the defense may not have come out flat after halftime.

    I believe it was Titanup1982 they said at halftime, The offense would be improved and the defense would be crap...This team needs to compete and fight for 60 mins. This something I don’t see out of Mularkey bunch. There is no dawg in them. They don’t play with an edge or a chip on their shoulder. If they are ever going to grow and become more consistent, this needs to change. I don’t think this coach is the guy to get it out of them.

    NE Defense in 2001 were 24th in passing yards allowed and 19th in rushing yards allowed. The big key, however, was that they ranked 6th in pass touchdowns allowed and 4th in rushing touchdowns allowed. The Patriots scored 36 offensive touchdowns but allowed their opponent to only score 22. Aside from winning 9 straight including the Super Bowl, the defense allowed an average of just 13.78 points per game. They did not allow an opponent to score more than 17 points and had a 4 game stretch where they allowed their opponent to score 13 points or fewer. They also won the turnover battle down that stretch with a +17 by having 8 turnovers themselves and 25 takeaways from their opponents.

    Run defense, and low sacks to other historic defenses is why you cant compare them. Thet were not an historic defense, they were a good defense led by a good coach in Belichick.

    Pats 2001 defense reminds me of the 06 Colts defense, were they really turned it on in the playoffs allowing teams to score so little, but neither team has the stats to compete with the top 5 defenses that ever played.

    So it all boils down to my original point, good defenses win championships. There is no need to have a top 5 QB.

    We haven't played a complete game all season. It's pathetic really. Our coach can't scheme, can't motivate, can't develop, can't manage. All he does well is standing there looking confused af

    Stick face. No animation, no emotion. It's hard to say where he stands at any one moment. He shows no fight or fire. And that's what you get on the field.

    I feel like we are getting some very nice pieces... but most of our coaching staff is where this team missed. And that was a big miss.

    Mariota is what I've felt he'd be... a good QB that can lead a competent team to the playoffs and beyond.

    Yeah as really Steelers however have a home stadium that is very hard to play in for the visitors about almost all the time. If not all.

    Good defense can win championships with good coaches and run game, and rarely does that ever happen. Its still an QB driven league. If it wasnt why do we consistently see two teams in the SB with top 10 QBs? Also, the argument was you claimed NE had an historic defense and they didnt. They arent even in the top 10 defenses of all time let alone historic.

    I didn’t say that Marcus wasn’t fine....I said he had a terrible game....and he did.
