Think about it. We have been dominant against offenses that lie somewhere between very good and average. The Pats offense has been just as dominant against defenses that lie between above average (Dallas), and pure crap (Cleveland and Miami).

If you had to pick a trend to continue based on that, and knowing something has to give, what makes the most sense?

We are probably going to get the best of NE's offense this week.

It's on Campbell and the offense to win the game.

I agree 100% it is not our defense that I am worried about, but if our offense can do something in the 3rd and 3th quarter than we may have a chance. We need to sustain drives to keep Brady off the field and right now we can not do that in the second half...
