Brooks turnovers. How does he stack up?

Not quite, IMO. The Pats had an avereage time of possession of 31.22 minutes/game while the Saints had 28.18. From these numbers couldn\'t you make a case for the defense by saying that if the offense were on the field longer the defense might be giving up less points. Just a thought. Of course, I know that the response will be that if the defense could get off the field, then maybe the offense could have the ball longer. Either could be the case, I suppose.

Saint_LB-

I was only joking when I said \"nuff said\". I hate when folks tell me that.. \'cause I\'ve always got plenty to say on just about every subject...

How quickly we forget just how awful our defense was for the first 12-games. It was on pace to be the worst defense in over 40-years. Quite frankly, I cannot remember seeing a defense that was any worse.

We can debate how the offfense affected the defense.

What\'s not debateable is the ONLY time our defense was effective is when it was on the bench!!

Just think back to the first 12 games. How did you feel when our defense was trying to stop the run? Warrick Dunn? Emmit Smith? ANYBODY?

How did you feel in the first 12 games when we faced Culpepper, Brees, Haselbeck, ANYBODY?

I can remember EXACTLY how I felt!!
