Respect to you, Condon. Max protect gives you nothing if your receivers can't gain separation. Moving the pocket cuts off half the field. I agree that the O is struggling again, but those two things don't appear viable at this point.
Personally, I'd continue to get tough yards with Ridley. The run game was surprisingly effective early. Of course, and this has been the things, the Pats forgot about Ridley and got pass happy again. That's when those pass rushers started to smell blood in the water. This line has proven they cannot pass protect for long. Force Buffalo to stop the run and try to get them off balance. That's what NE did so well last week.
