It's got nothing to do with the Brady to Moss/Welker combination. The problem lies at the heart of the 3rd and 4th receiver options and absolutely no balance between the run and pass on offense.
Last night I watched the Saints spread the wealth to a receiving core than individually are ok but together are an excellent unit. Then I watched them pound the ball with Thomas and Bell.
If the Patriots want to be a pass happy offense, we're going to need a little more than Stanback, Edleman & Aiken. Against good defenses, we were in the **** when Galloway didn't work out and Gaffney wasn't extended.
On the defense, well in a game that is evolving into a pass pass pass game, when you have no pass rush, what did you expect. Our achilles heal was exposed, in the most honest of fashions. I can assure you BB saw it, and will do something about it.
