Maybe this whole 2 TE formation was a bad idea from the start.
Looking outside of Hernandez's potential criminal status, has the system put up huge numbers?? Of course. But at the end of the day, you need to throw the ball outside the numbers and get the ball down the field. In games where it mattered most (i.e. the SB) our offense would either fail us because someone had the game plan to stop our system, or one of the TE's would go down and we had nothing else to turn to. We've become too reliant on our TE's. Look, the 2 TE set has been revolutionary from the start, but I don't know if it's a recipe for winning titles. I know more important things are on the line with the Hernandez situation. But who as a Pats fan can't help but look at what this offense will look like moving forward without Hernandez??
