I agree. I guess I'm just used to our defense being pretty crappy, our offensive line being awful, and the team being basically held together by Brady when it gets tough. We saw that team last week to some degree. Garoppolo puts up 21 unanswered points, then gets injured, and suddenly the defense is crap. An apt comparison is the Denver regular game last year, where Brady keeps the team 14 points ahead for half the game, but with Edelman and Gronk injured, a depleted offensive line, the defense just got destroyed and let CJ Anderson rush multiple times for a touchdown.
I'm happy though; this seems like a new Patriots team this week. Let's keep it up!
