For six weeks or so, we had the most unstopable machine in the nfl as our offense.
-Our O-line was the biggest surprise of the year, composed by 3 rookies who held their ground admirably. (Stork was bound to return too).
-Lewis came out nowhere in order to become one of the most explosive players in the game.
-Amendola was finally a fundamental part of our passing game (since last years play offs really).
-Edelman and Gronk were their usual, mismatch monters selves.
-And, of course, Tom Brady. Simply, the GOAT.
Things were looking up, until...
-Solder went down in week 4, out for the year.
-Lewis went down in week 9, out for the year.
-Edelman went down in week 10, out for the rest of the regular season(probably).
-Dobson went down in week 11, severity of the injury unknown, but not looking good.
-Amendola was hurt in week 11, severity is also known, but looks better than Dobson's
-And finally, Jackson, Mason, Vollmer, Cannon, all of which were banged down throughout the year and are coming back.
It's almost ironic that the only way to slow us down, was a twisted, beyond-our-comprehension plan (call it however your religion/ideology/mindset likes).
So my question is this:
How do you feel about our offense going forward?
Our next opponents are:
Broncos (1st yards per game; 2nd points per game)
Eagles(25th ypg; 16th ppg)
Texans(8th ypg; 14th ppg)
Titans(6th ypg ; 18th ppg)
Dolphins(26th ypg; 20th ppg)
Jets(5th ypg; 12th ppg)
As long we have Brady and Gronk, i believe we have the capacity to score 20 or more points in every game. If the O-line gets a little bit better, we can reliably get some points on drives. I don't exepect we score more than 30 "offensive" points against good defenses, specially if Dola is held out of these games against goood defenses. The Broncos game is awfully placed, though. I don't want to sound too pessimistic, but we have to be excelent on offense (In other words, much better than against Buffalo) to score 20+ points IMO.
Luckily, our defense is becoming a monster when we need it the most. They will have to carry this team and I trust them to do it. But still, i can't stop thinking of how awesome it would be to have this defense of today with the offense of the beginning of the season. I hope we see a glimpse of that in this year's play offs.
