Big changes since then, and all the turnovers makes it really difficult to take a lot from that game.
Gronk - gone
Dobson - out(?)
Thompkins - out(?)
Spikes - gone
Siliga - there and playing
Solder - got head out of backside
Cannon - improvement in run blocking
Miller - gone
Vickerson - gone
Harris - gone
J. Thomas - back
Bailey - back
Welker - still recovering from the back-to-back concussions
The Patriots were lucky to win that game, playing at home with the advantage of weather, and have suffered more losses since than has Denver (assuming the WRs can't go), though both have suffered big losses. On the other hand, they're facing Peyton Manning, and he can choke at any moment.
NE needs to keep it close, because I don't see another 17 point comeback with this receiving corps, and they can't let Moreno run wild again.
Just my $.02
