This is scary, this offensive situation is simply DYSFUNCTIONAL.. I said this last week as well but everyone told me to "stop complaining after a blowout win"
The 2014 Patriots offense is NO better (maybe even worse) than the 2013 offense that was inept vs the Broncos in the AFC Championship game.
-Julien Edleman is Brady's ONLY legitimate target on the field, period.
-Gronk is clearly not 100% (more like 50%) yet is still Brady's #2 most reliable target, this is not a good thing right now.
-LaFell was an awful cheap signing from the start. Panthers fans were more than happy to get rid of him.
-Amendola is one of the (if not THE) WORST signings of the Belichick era. AWFUL. A complete ghost. The only time this guy gets a catch is on illegal picks that get called. And unlike LaFell, who was just a lazy cheap signing, this guy is getting PAID. Disgusting.
-The myth of the "potential" of Dobson/Thompkins is a complete joke. It's been 21 games now, my verdict is set. These guys are never going to emerge as anything they need to be for this offense .
-Wright has been a non-factor, he's going to go from 54+ catches in 8 starts with Tampa to less than that in a full season here.
How the **** does this get better? How is it that Brady, in the twilight of his career, is now playing with complete garbage for 2 years straight? How was it assumed that adding Brandon ****ing LaFell was good enough to improve this offense?
This isn't something you can coach up/scheme, it's a legit personnel problem that the Pats have failed miserably at addressing.
