I think we should start Gronk, Edelman, and Connolly, and then play at home, like we did against Miami a couple games ago where we put up 41.
Ask the Tampa Bay General Manager about that one.

The 41 against Miami is a little deceptive. The Pats offense crapped themselves at the end of the first half. They roared back in the third quarter, but I thought the Miami game showed some cracks in the armor.
Heh. The content of this post is ridiculous but I am with the title of the thread. I'm concerned with the offense going into the post season. We've started slow several weeks in a row and sometimes never really gained steam at all.This is like ground hog day all over again. The Pats go into the playoffs with an offense that has been steadily declining over the last month of the season and is now pretty much stopped in its tracks. Other than one good half against Miami, the offense has struggled consistently. I have no idea what has unravelled.
Any ideas what the Pats can do going forward:
1) Practice gaining more than 1 yard on a 2nd & 2 or 3rd & 2 running play?
2) Go full 2001 dink and dunk and try to win 13 to 10 in the playoffs?
3) Go full Flacco? Just have Brady close his eyes and heave it deep on every series, hoping to connect 3 or 4 times per game?
4) Switch to the wildcat offense?
5) Run nothing but trick plays?
Beats me. Belichick and McDaniels need to go into their secret lair and mix up some kind of offensive potion. The defense is stout, but the Pats aren't going far without scoring some TDs.
What's the solution?
Football's a 60 minute game. They can play however they want for a half if they're going to get 43 on the board.

True. Although I think the Pats will fare better against good team in the tournament if they can do something offensively in the first quarter and play from ahead. IMO, they are really vulnerable if they fall behind and let the opposing pass rush pin their ears back. All teams are vulnerable, but the Pats o-line is in trouble when that happens. Brady got hit 15 times in the Jets game.
I think Fred Kirsch has it right. The Pats will go as far in the tournament as preventing real and perceived pass rush pressure allows them to.
No.... Two weeks.really? This is what i am going to have to deal with all week...
No.... Two weeks.
**** you're right...
