Underdogg's right...A great call by BP and his thread here, "Seattle will be a test," Annnd- It was authored a mere 2 1/2 days after Bubba's "Seattle will be a great test...," thread...so imho, He should actually get some additional kudos for his brilliance.

In response to DelGriffith's comment:
Ironic, isn't it? Whatever makes it seem like it will be the D's fault to deflect against Brady's potential imperfectness, is what Babe strives for here.
Why? Everything he said is true. So far Seattle is real stingy with the points. They will be hard to run on and the Pats have had trouble running against better D's unless you call 2.3 ypc good. If points are at a premium, the D will have to step up. So far they are allowing too many yards, points and their 3rd down conversion rate looks alot like last years. In fact all their stats look a lot like last years and are going the wrong way with every game.
So far the Pats O is getting all the attention, but more and more people are seeing a re-occuring nightmare with the D. I don't think it's everybody's imigination. Do you?
And please remind me who threw 2 INT's Sunday: Brady or that rookie for Seattle?
Blame (or, as I call it: lack of responsibility) gets shared by all. The Defense is what they are (sadly, AGAIN). Brady is what he is, (sadly, AGAN). No sense of urgency to wil, sati\sfied with results, and we get the same "we gotta do this, that, or the other". Too bad they don't do what they say they need to do.
They have teh potential to lose 5 more games this season: Colts (just look at what a less talented rookie did to them Sunday, and he'll be playing against the same defense), the JESTS! on the road (sorry, but a divisional rivalry is a divisional rivalry, in THEIR home, and the Pats DO allow a sub par QB to become a Rock Star on Sundays; even those pesky/old, broken down, can't throw a ball straight more than 15 yards anymore future HOF'ers), The Fins in Miami (see: divisional rivalry on an improving team; not a pushover any more), the Texans at homw (the D should be REALLY concerned on about stoppinbg Schaub AND Foster; I see a potential drubbing), and the 49'ers (Brady vs one of the best D's in the league, and a decent QB/offense vs the seive knows and the Pats DB's). But, the real concern about this is that these gamnes are strung together in a row.
Seeing how this bunch has nail down the art ans skill of coming from in front, I think an 8-8 season is really within their reach, especially if they get to 8-4. (I've got them losing by 2 points on their Bye week.)

Brady had a mediocre 79 PR magainst a very highly ranked Seattle D. Still better than the under 4 yac the running game was able to get though, right?
But the offense did manage to score significantly above what Seattle had been allowing despite the running game being inept. Probably Brady's nearly 400 yards had something to do with that, eh?

By all rights, the Ravens should have won last year's AFC Championship game. They had the time out to use and didn't, instead rushing the FG team onto the field inexcusably, only to rush the kick. We laughed like hell at that, post game. We all said that ANYONE could have seen the need to call the time out yet failed to do so. Guess game planning in blowing that opportunity right before the half worked, right? Brady had NOTHING to do with that, right? Not his job.....

Sorry, but Brady's 79 PR in that game is better performance than anybody else can claim other than a good run D.
Same old story. If Brady can't make up for the rest of the shortcomings on the team then he was "bad". Nonsense. Try pointing some fingers at the terrible performances across the rest of the team. Brady isn't going to compensate for crappy running and pitiful defense every game. Especially against a team with a very strong D like Seattle.

through inept play and decisions (right before the half, int'l grounding, over and under throwing).
Did it ever occur to you that a receiver may have cut the wrong way on the intentional grounding pass?
