Not sure how you could say those Seahawks D is any better than ours. And you certainly didn't fair great against them, although you did beat them. Our corners are better than theirs were those years and our DL is better.
I don't even care to argue over if we're "historically" great or not.

The argument is whether our D is as great as some the Pats have faced. There was a claim that the Pats have faced a few teams with better Ds that would "spin circles" around our D.
I don't see it.

I've used no stats to back up any of my claims.

Why have a discussion with a biased New England fan that has shown in more than a few threads here what he's really here for?

He's one of those Patriot fans that will never admit to anyone having a chance against his team.  Tom Brady, Belicheck, and we have history!  Next he'll try to argue that Brady is playing as good now as he has in the past.

At this point in the season ALL fans are biased towards their team. We've all seen the Steelers put up 42 points and the 49ers put up 44 points, and the Titans beat you twice. We've all seen the Bills hold you to 10 points and the Titans hold you to 16 and 10 points. 

NE lost to a bad Dolphins team and had a close game against the Jets. 2 stinkers right there!

On paper, the Patriots should win, but the games aren't played on paper, are they? The biggest factor will be Bortles. NE will score their points. They always do. Which Bortles will show up. The one that finally (and thankfully) shut up the Steelers and their fans, or the one that Buffalo's decidedly average defense made afraid to throw? Over the last 12 games, NE has only given up 14 points a game. Can the Jags score in the 30s? They'll probably need to...
