Our defense has improved A LOT over the last four weeks. We'll finish probably around 20th, and it's unlikely, but not impossible, while I think it would have been impossible for any of our other QBs. That's all. Not saying he would have won for sure, just that from what we've seen from games/practices/college etc... he looked good enough to possible pull off some Brady like magic, but who the fuck knows. We'll never know now.


Should get better when Rowe + Gilmore return too
I'm not saying he won't succeed
But any team thinking superbowl after their QB goes down is pretty nuts -- idc who the back up is lol
Would of been great if he stayed, but can't commit the cap to both QBs

I think hell be fine in San Fan

Brady did it :P .

It's happened before is all. I think you're misunderstanding me though. I wouldn't have SB aspirations at all if Brady went down, I'm just saying it wouldn't be completely impossible for him to win, while it would be with literally ANY of the other numerous QBs we've had behind Brady in his 2 decades with NE.

That's all I'm saying, not that he's anything more than a backup lol. We don't know how good he is, but he's looked pretty solid. I hope he doesn't die in SF.

I'm speaking strictly this season..ofc i'm thinking about the future, but he wasn't staying
Jimmy G with 32nd defense to win superbowl? Lol give me a break dude has 6 quarters


32nd? in what? that's just one metric, were not the worst defense in the NFL lol

are we one of the worst? yes probably.

but you're right it was very highly unlikely (if not impossible) we would've franchised him so it that case yeah it was the right move to get rid of him now, just sucks we don't have a good backup QB (as far as i know).

32nd in yards allowed
32nd in pass yards
24th in rushing
18th PPG

All trash lol
Maybe not the worst, but as of right now it can be argued

Na man, we're the worst defense no matter how you look at it. We can not pressure QBs, we're letting up the most yards/points I think, and we're allowing the most 40/50/60/70/80 yard plays of any team. We're terrible everywhere.


We're improving, we've looked better each week over the past 4 (minus one play/Gordon). We've got a long way to go if we're going to be 20th or better by the playoffs, but I think it's possible. If we can't figure out a way to get QB pressure though, I don't think we can win anything this year come big games, but I thought the same last year too, so who fucking knows.

18th PPG is far from the worst. slightly below average though needs to get better. we give up way too many yards but at least we can somewhat keep teams out of the endzone.

I'll take our defense over the colts' defense. jus' sayin' lol

we do need to get better just about everywhere though, specifically pass rush & more consistent play in the secondary.

Only reason we don't give up more is because our offense
God I love Tom Brady. GOAT is also our best defensive player
Only he is saving our defense from being ranked 32nd in PA by keeping our #1 offense on the field

Yeah that is not good

haha good point, not gonna argue that. it's funny a 40 year old QB and 65 year old coach bails the fuck out of our team year after year.
