Wow I did not realize we were ahead of the Pats in total offense too. Defense we are 3rd, but our of the top 3 we allow the fewest points. Oh, BB can suck a dick.
We're number 4 in points allowed, and number 3 in yards allowed, their offensive stats mean jack shit when facing our defense. I only mentioned it because I was surprised.
Okay, but it could be. Once we see the Mark that we see win us games for a whole game, the sky is the limit. Monday, we will have more yards, more points, and a sweep of the Pats. That is all I really care about in the end.
He can tip his hat, I want to drop my pants and moon the SOB when the Jets win Monday night. OK so I'm a sore winner.
Belichick is cold, distant, aloof, but the man knows football. Its good to hear him say things like this about Rex and our team, because you know he if he respects us, then this team is a ligit contender and not just another fading hope.
There's a level of mutual respect between Rex and Belichick that isn't there between Mangini and Belichick. At the very least, I'm glad there's no more annoying back story of "master vs. pupil"
The Patriots have scored 19 more points than us with D/ST combined. They have 2 KR/PR TD's, we have 1, they have 3 pick 6's, we have 1, they have 0 safeties and we have one. They've scored 70 more than us overall. So while it's not as big of a margin as PPG at face value, it's still a good margin. You also have to take into account our defense setting us up with better field position more often if you want to really break it down.
Rex's Ravens' D gave Belichick's offense fits for years. No surprise Bill respects Rex and his accomplishments on the field.
