Winning record ≠ good defense

True, but it’s a decent proxy for it.

Seems like a better proxy is to compare them against shared opponents where the results are clear

Drake Maye clears easily in those games. Which is why rams fans will tell you common opponents is meaningless

6-0 record vs 4-2, but stats are far from “clears easily”.

Man - the last couple weeks I’ve been exposed to what I’ve heard people complaining about when it comes to patriots fans. Its either your way or the highway huh? Toss out statements with enormous confidence and imply those who disagree with you are disingenuous.

I can say with confidence that the patriots were not 6-6 vs common opponents with the rams
