That was ugly, defensively ugly. Matt C. is not the only problem this team has. Secondary is horrendous.

I think the "is it Brady, or is it Belichick?" debate is being settled, once and for all 
Kraft may want to re-think the team's philosophy on letting the Milloys, Laws and Samuels walk instead of paying them.
The secondary is horrendous. Every good QB will exploit it. Indy seems to have hit its stride now and that game in 3 weeks could get ugly. |

Deltha O'Neal sucks
Matt Cassle is to slow getting the ball out, way too slow and his vision needs to widen
O-line is worse 
why the D-line can't get pressure is a mystery to me
Denver next week  |

Defense has been weak for couple years. But with Brady at the helm, offense could dominate time of possession, minimizing this problem. Opponents' defensive coordinators have opened up their attack, which they had not been able to do with Brady, as he could make them pay. At least he could before the games against San Diego and the Giants last year...... Those two games also exposed the offensive line. Brady's stats were particularly below par in the playoff vs. the Chargers.
So Brady's absence is the biggest difference, both in how his team plays better for him, and how he affects the mindset of defensive players playing across from him. DBs are amongst the weakest I've seen here in 15 years, allowing oponents to spread and expose the run D-line. And time of possession will kill us if offense can't maintain drives. Coaching staff should be more concerned with fixing the D for this year, and waiting for #12 to return next year.... I don't see this team even making the playoffs.
I appreciate the teams of past years even more, and keep telling my son how spoiled we have been.....
