Detroit -- This was a cautionary note going into this game. And this was a friend. That I looked out for the patriots this year they had my head count is scratching -- a little bit of research. And -- moderate kind of telling that since 1978. When the NFL expanded to a sixteen game schedule. That they -- and 58. Teams that have won three games are less during the regular season. Again what's been expanded to sixteen game schedule there have been 58 teams. -- the thirteen and three or better.
All of those 58 teams only three of the 58. Gave up more yards. From the line of scrimmage. On defense. And they actually put up on office. And one of them is this year is New England Patriots. Who put up 5820. Yards of offense. Allowed 58 and 64 yards. On defense. For minus 44. Again. Three teams all 58 since 1978. Allowed the opposition to rush more yards and they gained our office. Number one of the 1984 Denver Broncos. There were thirteen and three. They gave up more than they gained they lost in the first round of the playoffs. In 2001. The Chicago Bears were thirteen and three. They gave up more yards and they gained. They lost in the first round of the playoffs. And the 2010. New England Patriots. Gave up more yards on defense than they gained. And they lost in the first round of the playoffs. -- for what it's worth.
I was wondering where you'll -- what that when you started Michael -- was the going to be with the the decision but. Can I get taken for what it's that's he would -- I mean. There I guess that's historical and -- to arm. You know but for the most part of this game exists. It was one of those games that -- You can say what you wanna say about Brady but Brady actually played pretty well. Throughout the course of the game he bought himself some time in the party when he had about some time in the pocket. Biggest problem we -- today was finding anybody to get the ball to him by the someone that hasn't separation from a defensive. Home Friday ends today young group Italians. Disappeared young was did anyway as a group was played a huge game -- tackle on an interception there. The start of the game off him and again abounded difficult to many points but. People say didn't coast papers -- reports where they really do because they were in. Are almost since born raised and sales get three points if not seven so. I don't expect that -- it was that of of just that bit. You know maybe this up a two bit you know I mean I don't I don't know up out -- pages -- in the second half of the season on. But it will stand. And it went from basically asked him in a -- to -- in in scoring defense. So weapon that was a phenomenal turnaround for the defense and they were abandoned maverick -- And the but tonight he's. You can completely awful. The Q gave up some big plays attendees say Detroit that they were totally outplayed and out coached by that -- yeah of the cricket final score. From from start to finish they were pretty much -- outplayed in and -- Colston and everything else -- what do you want cause they they were a bit. You look at allowed to to which is in the game that happen and you know the game plan last. Rex Ryan and his defense and his staff hasn't played way to go defensively. To slow the -- he's now they can navigate into a rhythm. Never got anything really going and then. Really -- that the fans Gretchen and may be headed for its -- somewhat -- years you know Belichick -- and that. They were in the defense you know there word that was. We know more set -- in the when the ball against. Com. In the opposite but still the but you were very aware of of the of the of the.
in this situation. I had to eight minutes right statement that it that it really hit your ports are gonna stick out in terms of coaching. Second guessing you what is the fake punt late in the first count viewed down 73 or about -- Thirtysomething emitted fourteen. It was with the risk in the reward equal out well they botched the -- mode of being 143 jets. A caller pointed out that Atlanta pulled the same stunt. Not with a fake punt but we're trying to go for a the sideline route in Green Bay picked it often and probably into that game but did not officially and that gave it certainly wasn't a huge huge turnaround. For the jets going to lock room. Then people will want to ask about the three yards and a cloud of dust strategy in the fourth quarter down by two touchdowns. When you were -- to pound pound pound tick tick tick.
Mean that that's that's that's the case in the and that -- going to be something he's gonna explain for a you know several weeks now. And and it was a question to everybody know it wasn't just the run in the ball it was just the lack of urgency. That kind of you know people can -- and misery reminded me a lot of Donovan McNabb and Eagles are brought -- and this is in -- acts of youngest just in the Super Bowl you know like whereas a sense of urgency now. There's get a -- because if you saw this team the kind of have the existing with the want to amateur game with a kind of had to just on the rope where they -- that. The temple born to a -- up tempo -- through honest numbers and and please call. And run in the and it just and they will gain some some significant yards -- distance as an Indian positive place. And then in the situation like that where you kind of pressed for time and you press the school wasn't points. You don't really pressed the issue was much as you did before. And it just looked like they were they just couldn't get into a -- like they were kind of unsure but what defense and discipline be playing in -- many gaps of one of brain. And it was taken hasn't to get the guys count them Mosul was and it did the they were very.
I -- as another example the veteran player who's bending championship games. And know how players talk before games -- and know how the Steelers. Yeah opt in your day and how you stuck it to them. Do you think some -- message did not get across that there was an arrogance. Amongst the patriot players and a sense that. They almost brushed off the idea of talking the talk and walking the walk as the jets did this week.
You know I'm I think you -- is the justice and that they've never done. You know even when I was Estes -- that you know again well with Vista and it doesn't like Agassi I mean I've never lost that game to have. Someone that don't don't you know I mean an ever intimidated me whatever it is it just becomes an execution and being ready to play in preparation. As with a comes down to you can talk all day you know pleased at the play of the game nowadays as it is there's been a -- the just because they talk -- And they and and they want to welcome back and a you know so this is Britain Rex Ryan up here right now. Antonio Cromartie appear -- scarf appear right now because they talked. You know and it came and they won't be you know and and you know we gotta bear with this if for the next I don't know god because they came in not resolved when they say they would and then everybody sucks and -- hate this and that and in the people's career. Now to go to with therefore Donald's along with the -- nobody. -- little bit talk and they did they got involved in this only you know what I estimate of calls was worker historical office today but. You know. As far as. You know -- that's -- Communist but you still at the camera and executed men are you had a situation you gotta commodity got to prepare where you have Mexican.
Our order take a break we'll hear from Bart Scott of the jets who should be -- because Bart Scott to -- is a player that did Jack all year for the jets in a sense and he was a multi guy. So we'll hear from a Bart Scott your phone calls and we've been waiting patiently we want to get Troy Brown's take. We will delve into this game and the strategies and try to put in perspective what this means to the team going forward and your calls on the real post game show so please stay tuned for more.
