I was worried that we might lose Talib or Dennard for a few weeks. They have been difference makers in the secondary and the defense is coming together at the right time. I am fine with Gronk missing this weeks game but would like to see him get some reps before the post season.

Good News, Talib has been a difference maker. Putting him on other team's top reciever has opened up many options for our DBs and you can even see how aggresive their play is and it leads to more blitzing & pass rushing that BB didn't do before. Dennard is key as well, has a nose for'da ball and has key knock downs especially on 3rd conversions.

At this point in time, Talib is proving to be an enormous acquisition. It is my hope that the Patriots are sitting down with his representatives and are working toward a long term extension.

Dennard... well I loved him from the moment he made his debut. Using the eye test, he looked like he had swag the moment he stepped onto the field.

I'll gladly take that if Talib/Dennard don't miss time and Gronk misses one more week or two. The offense has been doing fine, eventually we will need Gronk but based on Monday night, we should hopefully be able to ride this hot streak a couple more games. At worst case, I some reason feel like at home we can win a defensive struggle with SF.

There are 3, maybe 4 more important games to be played in early 2013
Let the GronkMonster heal

Gronk - we can wait until he is FULLY healthy - Dennard and Talib - we need NOW - so this is good news to me.

NFL network just reported that Gronk is expected to practice tomorrow.

It may be too soon to know for sure whether he's bought into the "Patriot Way" but what he brings to the table on game-day is undeniable. I'm for it. Like frilly tooth-picks.
