Bad drafting is starting to catch up with this team. It's time to fix that. And one has to ask: Has Tom Brady lost his postseason magic?
01/03/2012	3	3
Tom Brady will have to be his best come playoff time based on how that defense plays. It is a unit that did make plays in the second half against Buffalo.
12/27/2011	3	3
The offense keeps on bailing out the defense, but the question is whether it can do it come playoff time.
12/20/2011	3	6
They have a month to fix that defense before the playoffs begin. Or at least improve it.
12/13/2011	6	7
The offense has to offset that bad defense every game. Now that defense has to figure out a way to stop Tim Tebow.
12/06/2011	7	7
Their defense is really a problem, even against a bad offense like the Colts. But that offense is good enough to overcome it.
11/29/2011	7	7
The way that offense is playing, does it matter how bad the defense is now? Tom Brady is on fire.
11/22/2011	7	7
They started slow against the Chiefs, which they can't do this week against the Eagles. Philly will challenge their defense a lot more than Kansas City with Tyler Palko.
11/15/2011	7	13
They just don't lose three in a row under Bill Belichick. They're back in control in the division now.
11/08/2011	13	7
They lost a home game with Tom Brady at quarterback. That's news in itself. This is a team with flaws suddenly.
