After 7 games nobody has managed to score as many points on Carrol's defense as we did . The Boys got a whole 7. Rodgers 12. The 9ers 13.

 

Of course, 5 of the other six teams that played them allowed them less points than out D did.

The best offense in the league until it's the fourth quarter.  Sure the defense has issues but the offense deserves it's share of the blame for the 4th quarter collapses.

In response to BabeParilli's comment:

The babe brady excuse machine continues to churn out mountains of carefully picked half truth stats. How many of those teams had 6 trips into the red zone resulting in a pityful 13 points?

Thanks for proving once again your thin knowledge of football.

In response to Mighty2013's comment:

7 points first half of the Jets game. 6 trips to the red zone against Seattle resulting in 1 TD and 2 FGs.

 

Yup that's fantastic

In response to jaxpat's comment:

So, leading the league in scoring just isn't enough for you, eh? You want them to lead by a greater margin apparently. Because if they had scored more in the 4th quarter they would not only lead the league but they would be far ahead. Points scored in the 1st quarter count just as much as in the 4th, right?

So if they scored exactly the same amount, but less in the other quarters and more in the 4th, leading to the exact same record, you would be happier?

In response to glenr's comment:

What excuses does the 6th rated passer have to have Rusty? Probably less than a defense that allows a 99 passer rating and basically makes every chump they face look like a top 5 elite.

Here's a clue. Maybe those teams didn't even get to the red zone to miss points since none of them scored as many as our offense. Duh. Miss the forest for the trees much junior?

Learn the game.

In response to glenr's comment:

So what is it? You griping about scoring in the first half or the 4th quarter? Oh, I see. you want them to score every time they have the ball. Leading the league in scoring just isn't enough for you, eh, Rusty?

In response to BabeParilli's comment:

Regardless, 23 points should be plenty to win the game against Seattle. Seattle allows 15.1 points a game and they're 4-3. Must say something about their offense, right? I don't understand why you feel that it gives the defense a pass for collapsing in the 4th quarter so often.

The Bears offense did squat and held a very good QB to 0 points. Cutler couldn't score in the 4th but their defense held up. Imagine that! We get shredded by the likes of Russell Wilson and somehow the offense is to blame. Its funny how some point and laugh at the Ravens' defense but defend NE's even though they're still allowing less points than NE is. The defense is clearly the weak link on this team, if you can't see that then you should get a bigger TV.

Get real. How much of that scoring stat came from just a couple of games?

In response to BabeParilli's comment:

Ah the old rusty whine. having your period again vaginaboy?

In response to jaxpat's comment:

What you're missing here is....

The offense needs to score even more than the highest average in the league because that league leading scoring that stakes the D to a lead isn't good enough to compensate for a bad D.

 

Package it any way you like, but you're still saying we need to score even more than the league's best, and blaming the O for not doing that.

Babe... the key here, and what many have issues with you about the Pats O, it seems unable to put the other team away late in a game.  Compared to years past, when the offense is rolling the points pile up and we hear screams of the Pats running up the score.  Wouldn't we LOVE to hear that now??!!!

In response to glenr's comment:

When you've been shown as ignorant of the game, always resort to calling names and crying about being rightly accused of being Rusty.

In response to agcsbill's comment:

And the D is putting people away late? This is the problem. In years past when the O put the other team away late in the game our D wasn't giving the equivelent of 40 ppg up in the 4th quarter. Driving for a FG late would suffice when a close game got tough late because we had a D that wasn't falling apart.

Ratings are stupid? What should we go by then, you're ignorant opinion?

Final score? Yeah, we score more than anybody. And we give up more than 18 other teams.

In response to glenr's comment:

Saying you're Rusty isn't name calling. It's an accusation.

Take the "I'm not Rusty Challenge" if you're so innocent.

Babe, it is a problem on BOTH sides of the ball, lately. It is a head scratcher all around.  The offense goes lame in the 4th as does the defense.  In the past it has been one or the other and not both at the same time and late in games.

In response to glenr's comment:

How many points came from a couple of games for the rest of the top scoring teams?

 

Pats top 2 scoring game total = 86

Texans top 2 scoring game total = 81

Giants top 2 scoring game total =82

 

You lose on EVERY post Rusty. But then, that's where spin gets you rather than facts.
