Default The scariest thing about this offense.

We have:

1. Tom Brady
2. The #1 offense
3. Playmakers galore
4. The hurry-up and NASCAR offense

Even with all of these elements to our potent offense, one thing that always amazes me about this team is the ability to feature a totally new person each week. Aside from the constant greatness of Welker, this offense does a really good job of surrounding and gameplanning for different people. Who in their right mind thought that Vareen would score 3TDs last game?

Whether its planned or unplanned, they are so good with throwing someone else in the game and then making a whole new gameplan on the fly and that to me, should scare any defense that has to cover it. Gronk and Woodhead both go down in the first series of the game. Most team, this means panic. The Pats, put up another 40-burger and win easily. Who does the Ravens gameplan for? Welker, Hernandez, Lloyd, Woodhead, Hoo-man (LOL). Unpredictability.. at its best.

Thoughts?

5. A legit running game.

I love watching Ridley and the o-line wear down a team and start popping off 8-12 yards runs with some consistancy come the 2nd half.

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.

But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.

The scariest thing about this offense is we've barely had a healthy roster.


Gronk and Hernendez barely played any games at the same time.

Edelman was in and out of the offense due to injury.


Imagine this offense with a healthy Gronk and Edelman.

the scariest part is that this offense hasn't been above 80% at any point this season.

The Patriots won eleven games without Tom Brady. BB and co. are cannot be surpassed in responding to major losses.

This said, the loss of Gronkowski is powerful--true by every objective criteria. And his loss means less confidence from this fan... yet I will calling a victory in the scoring contest, at least in this coming game.
