Statistically, the defense isn't that bad.
Of course, statistics are lying in this case. The defense is highly mediocre.
But the offense ain't so great either. Awful in the red zone, awful in the last 2 minutes of each half, awful in the 2nd half in general, and seemingly unable to get it done under pressure.
Brady has thrown two picks in the red zone in the last 4 weeks (after going something like 300 attempts in a row in the red zone without throwing one).
The Patriots have beaten ZERO teams iwth a winning record this year, and are 7-5 depsite a realtivelyweak schedule. The team just isn't that good. It appears to be a transition year, though we still have Brady/Moss/Welker.
