It was legitimately a good unit.It was amazing how strong the defense was that year. Carried a Quinthy-led team to the postseason.
I know everyone thought that 2003 team were frauds, and maybe to some extent they were. They did go 6-10 the following year, after all.
But the defense was solid, even in the more important contests they had that season.
I still remember the night of the Patriots game, you could hear some fans through the TV yelling something like "That's the #1 defense in football?!!".
Funny enough, the Patriots only scored 12 points, and this game was played at Foxborough.
Brady only completed 44% of his passes in that game to boot.
With a QB that wasn't a retard like Quinthy, they might have messed around and come out of there with a win.
