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.

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.
