1. As mgteich and others have pointed out, the lack of TE's is really hurting this offense both running and passing. A healthy Gronk and Sudfeld really changes things.
2. I still think KT will be alright. The almost catch he made in the endzone was tremendous. Dobson is a very good athlete but he looks so unsure of himself right now and if he doesn't turn things around, Brady won't look at him. Boyce barely played last night and I'll be curious to see if he spells AD a little more next game assuming Amendola isn't ready.
3. Discouraging to see Brady still having to line guys up in the right spot.
4. Very thin at RB. Blount runs way to high and has no explosion. Washington is barely seen. I hope Bolden returns next game and replaces Blount. Did anyone else's heart stop when Ridley was bobbling that pitch?
5. Defense is solid. We'll see how the secondary plays against a good QB but I like what I see.
6. With so many teams playing with a 3 WR base set, I just don't see where Spikes fits going forward. Would like to see Collins a little more and I liked the Buchanan DE and Jones DT look.
7. The Offense is facing the most adversity its seen in years and they will either develop a mental toughness that will serve them down the road or their collective confidence will continue to slide. I'm banking on the former given their history.
