I mean I know I'll get thetypical...Your not a real Pats Fan..Or the we had bad games like this in 2001. Thats OK as I am a real Patsfan and I don't ever remeber a stretch where our offense looked this horrible and it progressively got worse every week. The truth of the matter is that we have only had a few good offensive games all year and those came against Bad defenses. I look at the state of our Offense and this is what I see.
1) Our O Line isn't very good. I would say around average, not horrible, but not dominating.
2) Our WR position is where we have become a poor offensive team. We have zero playmakers on the outside. and it has been obviuous most weeks of the year, but lately has really shown through,we have no threats there. Teams don't worry about our WR's and they play man to Man on our WR's and play a Safety at the line almost every down. And our WR's can't beat coverage when it's them against the corners. Even when there are safetry blitz's we don't have guys open.I mean the reality is , is that Caldwell is our #1 WR, a cast off average WR is our #1 guy. Then Brown, who I will always love, but is clearly at the end of his career is our #2. Our WR core would be situational guys on 90% of NFL teams out there. That is just the fatcs. This is what the Patriots created in the off and pre season, not being prepared to address this is really hurting us now. I love my Pats and keep hoping they can flip the switch, just don't think it is going to happen this year.
3) What is going to be done for next year, right now we look like we are going to go into next year with a cast away WR group for Brady and that would be a shame. Maybe Jackson turns out Ok, but still, maybe not. Maroney is the Lone present and future bright spot on offense for me. I can't believe how bad our Offense is right now!
