Unless the Packers score 30 points or more tonight...
 

New England will lead the entire NFL in points scored through 3 weeks.

And - according to ATeam's flashy DVOA stats ... the three teams they've played so far this year were ranked as the #1, #3, and #10 pass defenses in the NFL in 2009.

So, despite playing 3 top ten defenses against the pass from last year - and three top 13 defenses overall from last year - including the #1 ranked Jets on both categories - the Pats will have scored more than anyone else.

Just another typical Moss made offense .. if only they also let him play cornerback opposite of the rookie McCourty.

When will people see it? He is the best EVER.

Pats have also given up 82 points in just three games. Good enough for 5th highest in the league. Good luck the rest of the year giving up that many points.

If that dumb stat makes you feel better Doug so be it.

I'm pretty troubled that you see it.

When the offensive line is competent enough to allow Moss a chance to run deep - it is supposed to create a veritable juggernaught of offensive production.

It makes everyone in the system at the skill positions perform vastly better - though it does stress the offensive line far more than a West Coast offense.

It is a sad truth that he doesn't play defense or special teams - and since he is not a quarterback and running back - and the defenses first focus is to stop him - he will only touch the ball a handfull of times a game. In an era of stats and fantasy sports popularity ... the true greatness of the Moss made offense gets over looked.

When guys like Wes Welker and Danny Woodhead (a faster, shorter Welker) inevitably go to the Pro Bowl - despite both being undrafted and having no prior success in the NFL ... you'll know why. Because of the space they exploit in the middle created by Moss. They are smart little guys - who cut well.

Eight different QB's played the best football of there life in his offensive. And the few who didn't ... it was because the Raiders O-line couldn't pass block long enough to complete a three step drop .. let alone pass block long enough for the man to run double moves at change-up pitch speed on deep balls.

Tell me you don't see it Joseph ... because if you actually see it ... I'm deeply concerned.

Dude with or without you Randy Moss is the best NFL player ever. He demands a double and triple team. He is Jordan and Lebron... He makes EVERYONE ELSE BETTER.

If you actually played football - instead of tennis - you'd know that the job of the offense is simply to try to score points and to not turn the ball over.

The job of the defense is simply to try to not allow points and force turnovers.

The job of the special teams is a little less simple.

3 games. Your defense is a laugh.

The good thing is that - other than Vince Wilfork - there isn't anyone left on that defense that can't be replaced by a journeyman.

As other teams key defensive players get beat up and injured - you will see some other defenses become worse.

As long as Wilfork doesn't get injured - the Pats defense shouldn't be any worse .. and considering how young they are .. they might only get a little better.

It's not anything to feel good about... but, whatever.

Reading this thread justmade me throw up a little in my mouth.

Defense wins championships. Which is why all of those high powered Randy Moss offenses have a total of zero rings.

It's very early, but if you look at the Pats realistically they are going to need to drastically improve on defense to be a factor as the season wears on. Considering they have little talent on d, I just don't see how that is going to happen.

They'll score points in bunches, but you have to be able to stop teams also. They haven't shown they are able to do that.

Defense wins what?

If that were true - Ray Lewis would have more than just one ring despite playing on several incredible defensive units.

Teams win championships.

Tony Banks, Trent Dilfer, Elvis Gerback, Kyle Boller, and Joe Flacco at QB screwed him out of a lot of jewlery.

Hell - if the Ravens didn't block a field goal and return for a TD in the playoff win against the Titans the year they won the super bowl .. Lewis would have zero rings.

The fact that Trent Dilfer has a ring proves my point. Of course the best defense isn't going to win every year. But the better defenses are usually the teams that go far in the playoffs and win.

It's not an opinion, these are facts.

OOOOOOOOOO

Peyton Manning quickly developed into the NFL's only other veritable juggernaught of offensive production.

He touches the ball every play though.

His one ring came the one year he got strong defense in the playoffs.

That team had 4 Hall of Fame candidates either in the backfield or on the offensive line.

Jamal Lewis and Preist Holmes were both elite NFL running backs. Shannon Sharpe is a soon to be hall of fame tight end. And Johnathon Ogden is a soon to be hall of fame tackle.

That offense could run the ball very well.

How many points did that offense score--if you know.

yo...

Dude, that offense went 5 games without scoring a touchdown during the season. During the playoffs and Super Bowl they allowed a total of 23 points in 4 games.

The defense set records for fewest points allowed and fewest rushing yards allowed during the regular season.
