If those three improve then there is not much concern about the offensive end. As long as Brady is healthy this team will score enough to win games almost always.Well, training camp hasn't even played out yet. But, IMO, these are the keys to improving upon 2012...
1. WR play, particularly out of Dobson and Boyce.
2. Health to key pieces (Gronk, Hernandez, Amendola, Talib, etc.).
3. Improved pass rush.
4. Improved coverage over the middle, particularly amongst the LB's.
5. Improved safety play (and play in secondary as a whole).
If we see improvements in those areas, I see no reason why the team can't be better than the 2012 version.
IF the rookie wide receivers contribute, worse regular season but better in the playoffs. :first:
Yes, if the rookie receivers contribute for the first time in over a decade, then the WR's might be as good as last year, but likely won't be.

So you think we'll be worse offensively because of what a bunch of rookie WR's that are no longer on the team were unable to do a few years ago? I would at least give them a shot.
I said that the team would be better. The offense will be worse. And just BTW, there is no reason to complain if our team is just as good as last year. That is a very high bar.
==========================
OUT: Welker, Lloyd, Branch and Woodhead
IN: Amendola, Boyce, Dobson and Washington
Maybe the IN's will be more productive than the OUT's. We certainly HOPE so. A more reasonable hope is that the TE's will make up for the loss of production of the wide receiver position. It is not unreasonable to make trade offs and expect that it will take more than a year for a completely new set of wide receivers to gel.

"Will PATS be better or worst than last year?"
I voted YES because they most likely will be better or worse.
