He was injured in 2011, 2012, and now 2013. How is that revisionism?
I'm not calling the guy a nancy. When he plays, he's the best TE in football and he STILL has potential to be the greatest ever. But there were health concerns coming out of college and there's a few now. If we still had Hernandez, this would not be as big of a deal, particularly if we also had a Welker and another WR on the outside that was reliable.
My point was that we don't have a Welker or other more reliable WR/TE component, so offensive sputters were bound to happen.
This is, of course, absolutely correct. As I said before, that was why there were so many threads (some of them quite venomous) about it.
We should have expected a loss like this. Equally, we're still very much in the picture. But we shouldn't expect to win by averaging 30 points a game. We're going to need our defense to keep being awesome and we are still in the running for that Superbowl thing people make such a big deal about. WR corps is just not one of our strengths. And it was never going to be.
