Bingo

I could be wrong but I don't think Brady meant it as a slight. And I don't like Brady at all, however.

"Fairly good defense" it does lean towards a slight. Mediocre, average, not very good can easily be read into it. But it can also be viewed as they're better than average, not bad, above awful and so on.

But we won so if it helped them
