Anyway, all I know is that 2007 failure was demoralizing. I would not want to be at the receiving end of that defeat. I don't think they were able to recover from that fully. And they've tried over and over to recapture it, but they always fell short and many times because Brady did not have a good game. Defense figured out it's easy to fluster him if you hit him enough times. As they said, he'd start to see things that weren't there. It must be frustrating to get so close every year, and not be able to close it out and still trying to win that elusive 4th title for the last 8-9 years. Then you lost to the Giants who barely squeaked by the playoffs twice, it's devastating.

But since 2007 Wilfork has been their only legit play maker on defense. And that's shocking coming from a team coached by Belichick.
