The reason the Pats offense was prolific was because they had 2 of the 3 top TE's in the league at one time. How is it that the TE's on NE have 3 catches this year..and his slot position has like 50? Welker was a great player. Hardly the problem with the Pats offense right now and one of those problems is getting life in prison.

Regardless, it was dumbness in epic proportions, of course He wasnt expecting loosing Hernandez, but bringing up Amendola for Wes cant be overlooked.
I don't see how anyone could give Welker credit on a team where he could have been replaced by numerous other white guys at any given moment.
Grabbing it on my way home from work hopefully

It is. Im still in the fire temple on Dragon Roost but damn it looks good. Except the bloom which is excessive.
And if you go around the league, the best QB have good or excelent receiving TE: Brees, Rodgers, and Maning for example.

DON'T WORRY WE GOT BRADY
Meant to mention that, Levy really showed up often. Dude is probably best defender on their team.
A couple weeks ago he was dropping every pass thrown at him!
Brian Hoyer...before his injury.

I love Moore but he has a habit of either making great plays or disappearing entirely. I hope this is a sign he's becoming more consistent.

Without him we'd be worse
Regardless of how bad the Pats are, it's comforting to know that your only go to is to make fun of them because your team is in last place. Enjoy.

Yeah, it's a shame that this season didn't go the Pats way where we had pushover teams to barely scrape past by the skin of our teeth the first 3 games of the season.
Yeah those Titans and Vikings...juggernauts!

Whats the Steelers excuse for not beating anyone? Including the terrible Vikings.
I still contend that Welker was the engine that made it go. Gronk and Hernandez to a lesser degree seemed to be more about picking up bigger chunks of yards and they also seemed to be easier to take out of the offense. You are right that the lack of talent is killing the Pats offense, but I still think there would have been a big hit even if you had Hernandez lining up instead of doing whatever the fuck murderers do in prison.
I tought Finley was a good receiving TE, ohhh well.

Grounding?
Noodle Arming.
Don't worry, you'll be where we are in a few seasons. Unless you're drunk and think Mallet will do anything besides coke.

Grounding?
Schaub would have put a little more oomph into that, right into the arms of a defender.
Once Brady and Belichick leave I'm sure we'll be where you are. Until then Deacon Knowledge can choke on his 3DS with his Pats insults! Only Pats fans can make fun of them that way!
That's why you have glasses.
Im so awesome
Grounding?
Yeah pretty much.
If he made them go they would have scored more points in the playoffs against the Ravens and Giants when Gronk didn't play and was a gimp. The offense converted to a 2 TE offense when they got rid of Moss. They ran almost 80% 2 TE sets. There is no question to me that is the bigger issue.
Oakland Raiders released QB Matt Flynn. Horrible move by Reggie McKenzie, trading a draft pick for him.
McKenzie selected Tyler Wilson with his 4th round pick and traded a 2014 5th for Matt Flynn. Tyler Wilson is currently on the practice squad and Flynn isn't on the roster. This should be a fireable offense.

a sudden outbreak of common sense
At least you didn't lose to Andy Dalton!
So you're saying there's a chance

I said first 3 games. They need to tighten up those language arts classes in Massachusetts.
Holes. Steelers offense was decimated at TE and Running Back to start the season, and the passing game suffered as a result. Play caller went out on defense and now it's done by a 6th round rookie. Team is in 'transition' which is code for garbage.
Pats are having the same problems. Fortunately for them in their first three games they played the hapless Bills and dysfunctional Jets.
It's telling though that Brady doesn't throw a TD for the first time in 52 games and Pats fans want him benched.
Commmmmeeeee on BILLS!
Don't know why the Packers wouldn't sign him.
Ok. Let's assume there is slightly more pressure from the edge on this play. Grounding?

I was actually surprised that wasn't called.
Tyler Wilson getting out played by Matt Mcfuckingfavre is one my top 10 lol moments this offseason.

There was a play where Brady threw it right down the center of the field which was clearly grounding which wasn't called. It was a play or two before this I think.

What makes me wonder on this particular play was why he didnt throw down the center towards the wr. Did the WR run the wrong route?
Brady misread the safety. Badly. It was an option route.
My point isn't that grounding should be called on Brady (I only chose that comparison because I remembered the play and actually thought there was more pressure) but that if refs start calling grounding way more harshly, as Phil Simms was begging for last night, that suddenly miscommunications turn into loss of down penalties.

Guys running the wrong route is not grounding or Eli would have had groundings on a few plays that ended up being picks in the Denver game were he just threw it to the endzone and his WR didn't run there.
Precisely. Simms seems to disagree, which is bizarre to me.

I like Dobson. I think he will be good once he finally grasps the offense.

Officials probably felt bad for how shitty Brady was in that game and let it go.
