I recently read an article that compared the Jags defense to the three teams that have beaten New England in Foxboro in the playoffs. As it turns out, the Jags defense actually is better statistically than the defenses of the three teams previously mentioned. 

By the way, it is possible to limit the Pats offense in Foxboro: the Chargers did it in October, allowing them one offensive TD that day. In fact, take away the 2nd quarter (the TD, 2 FG'S and a safety) and the Chargers win by limiting the Pats to 6 points.

LOL....Love it when someone chirps in with the "shoulda....coulda....woulda..."  scenario.  "Close" only counts in Darts and Horseshoes.

The main argument of my post was that the Jags D is actually better than the defenses of the three teams that have beaten New England at Foxboro. Everything after "By the way..." was thrown in as a secondary point.
The main part of the secondary point was the limiting of the Pats offense to one offensive TD and how the Jags D could accomplish this task because the Charger D has already done that. The 2nd quarter reference was thrown in to further reinforce the point that the Patriot offence could be shut down at home.  So naturally you focused on the least important part of the secondary point (thereby missing the gist of the main argument) and ignored the most relevant points....
