To quote my father, "if you are a cornerback on the depth chart behind Darius Butler, you really, really suck."

It is true. This team is in trouble. After a 38-30 victory over the Buffalo Bills, no rational Patriots fan can be thrilled. The Bills were an assumed victory. And, by assumed, I mean "a win in which you do not give up 30 points to a fucking abysmal team."

We all knew this team would have problems on defense. Oddly enough, when half of your secondary is younger than I am, the linebacking core is mediocre, and the pass rush is non-existent, your defense isn't very good.

The team plays Miami next week, a much tougher opponent than the Bills. Then a bye week. Then, check this out. Baltimore, San Diego, Minnesota, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Detroit. Detroit, by the way, is not the laughing stock they used to be. They suck, but they can score.

That stretch is important, and it is brutal. If this secondary hasn't improved by the time they are coming out of the bye week, that stretch has 2-5 written all over it. Miami is no walk in the park either.

Be afraid, Patriots fans. Your defense really, really sucks.
