He and the pass O bailed out the D and running game probably more than the other way around last year.
This year the running game has been bad most of the year as well as the OL. It's hard to perform, w/ that said he hasn't stepped up either. He has taken a step back w/o a doubt but he's not a bad QB.
What does Den's D last year have to do w/ this year? Their D hasn't been awful this year but it doesn't matter, our O and QB are in a funk. It happens, just like last year when we got shut down by Miami in Dec. I'm confident Mark and the O will bounce back just like they did last year.
The Pats D is much better than the stats, they allow about the same # of points per game as our supposed top defense.

Considering we haven't had a great defense and our running game last year was not great I'm not sure I understand your point
