Lets hope for an injury free 2016

On the plus side, most all of this years team who went 10-0 is returning...in the end, our injuries became too much to handle.

We were actually the most injured team in the nfl this year in numbers injured

23players on the injury report, 17on IR. If we have a healthy season next year we should be right back in it

Here! Here! *Toasts*

The injuries have been infuriating for several years now, aside from last year.

Look at who's #1 in most injured. Then look at who was top 3 healthiest.

Injury free season? When has that ever happened?

2014? All our key guys stayed healthy, we got the #1 seed and won the superbowl?

We lost Ridley and mayo last year. And Hightower played the back end of the season with a bum shoulder. Not as serious as this season especially on offense but we need to build as much depth as possible since injuries are gonna happen

And sorta lucked out on Blount getting cut and picking him up midseason to replace Ridley

Gronk is a true champion

Poor guy will be wheeled around by the time he is 50

The run is over

Sad

Injuries are a part of football.

first thing im hoping for is bermans decision to stand..

We will never get an injury free season but it isn't too much to hope for that we aren't literally the most injured team in the league. That probably won't happen again.

People acting like the run is over are insane. 2016 team is going to be better than this one. They'll be super bowl bound next year.

No reason why we can't be.

I'd say if the o-line isn't fixed asap, that's reason number 1.

Gotta have mason and Jackson step up next year. And turn our offseason focus to improving depth at the tackle position

Bills or Jets fan, no doubt.

The run is far from over. We're in the AFCCG every year. We smacked the AFCE around when we were at full strength this year.

If we get the Oline fixed, we're by far the best team in the conference.

Meanwhile, your team will once again fail to make the postseason.

Losing your starting LT should NOT send the oline into a compete tailspin for the entire year. Gugs has to take a lot of the blame this year.

The championship run IS over. Have you even looked at their schedule next year? It doesn't breed confidence. I actually think they may be on the outside looking in next year. This year they went in the toilet once Edelman went down against some very beatable teams. They will not win those next year with any sort of injuries. Next year will be a dogfight to even get into the playoffs.

Highly possible losses: Seattle, Denver, Arizona and one to each AFCE team. That's 6 right there not counting a win over one of these losses or a loss to another random team. The oline will be better with Solder back next year, but not by a whole lot. The oline was exposed and teams with good pass rushers (which seems to be every team but the Pats) will continue that until they prove they can stop it.

Welp looks like we should stop watching Pats games now. The omnipotent ViperGTS has proclaimed that the Pats championship run is over. I guess I'll start quilting fancy scarves on my Sundays from now on.

On a serious note. As long as we have Bill, and Tom keeps playing at a high level, we will be perennial playoff contenders. I don't like making generalizations, but anyone who thinks that this team is going to be "on the outside looking in" is either overreacting to one game or they are: delusional, a chicken little, or a Jets fan.
