one thing to consider is how historically awesome last year's defense was. it really won games for them in which the offense did very little. if the offense isn't any better this year, i'm not really sensing how the defense can repeat last year especially missing some guys from the last squad. i still think the defense will be really good, so i expect them to be the favorites in the division but i just don't think it's gonna be quite as good as last year. in all honesty i have never seen a defensive line just feast the way that they did in the patriots game
