Belichick doghouse watch: Mike Gillislee hasn't been in the game since his fumble.

Ain't no way to spin it...our defense is shyt and will cost us games if Belichick and Patricia don't straighten it out or make some personnel moves. Even though we got the win, I'm not too encouraged at all from what I've seen from this team, especially the secondary defense.

With that said, we're sitting atop the AFC East. :obama:

Be 4-2 with league’s worst defense, brehs.

Fun fact: In the Pats' first 4 games, they gave up 32 ppg and allowed 133 rushing yards per game. In the Pats' past 2 games, the Bucs and Jets scored 15.5 ppg against them and had 82 rushing yards per game.

Maybe our defense is getting better? Or maybe we're in the softest stretch in our schedule.

“Yeah, I’ve noticed them paying attention to me, helping with a guard, helping with this or that when I’m inside,” Flowers said. “I’ve got to find a way to be productive when I’m getting those double teams. If they’re doubling me or single-blocking whoever, and (that teammate) is having success, then it’s a win for us.

“Obviously, you want to be able to make those plays. It’s kind of a double-edged sword, but that’s what comes with it. I’ve got to work a little harder to find a way to be productive. That’s my job.”
