The Patriots' defense has been huge at home all season, allowing just 68 points. They pitched three shutouts. They've made the key plays when it has counted. It's time Patriots Nation gives this unit a nickname. Send in your suggestions.

I too like the EDGE or the RAZOR'S EDGE. The other moniker that keeps ringing in my head is the "D-Machine" it sums up how this group has played as a unit of seamless parts, regardless of who has had to step up and play and is a play on the underrated, underappreciated convict football team in "The Longest Yard" .

Screw the Bambino.... This defensive unit is the real "CURSE" levied by the conspiring minds of Belichick and Crommel.
