I think our chances next year revolve in large part in how Edelman and Hightower come back - and both are really uncertain at this point. We need the Edelman role filled in our passing game and Hightower is the only guy with experience on our roster to fill his needed role.
We missed that quick-hitting, getting open in tight areas aspect that Edelman brings - and Welker before him. A real comfort on 3rd down. Saves hits on Brady too. Amendola a year older, Mitchell may or may not be right. Dorsett may or may not click. We compensated for the loss of Edelman well, but we still missed his skill set. And not all defenses will be as inept as the Eagles.OK, I want Edelman back at 100%. We all do.
However, we will have a fine passing offense, with or without Edelman. Perhaps folks think Cooks, Hogan, Amendola, Mitchell and Dorsett will get worse this year, after a year of camp and pre-season.
Nice supposition there mg ... how about letting members speak for themselves without you inferring here.OK, I want Edelman back at 100%. We all do.

Edelman is tops for Brady ... which slots everyone else down where they belong ... which makes the team better.
Good video, bad soundtrack.

Yeah, Sade would have been better given the context of the clip, you know like Smooth Operator. It's a laid back moment. You young farts have no concept. It's all bend your knees with your baggy pants, jump around and wave your arms while yelling, hey, ho. Calm down, Edelman's working.Saw this comment before I watched the video. Knew it would be an old guy complaining about rap.
Edelman's cat like quickness will be back.Our offense was strong however bormio is correct:

The offense changes dramatically with Edelman in the lineup. It is not farfetched to say that the offense flows through Edelman (remember how the offense went downhill after we lost him in '15).
There is just nobody that creates instant separation at the line like him, nobody that has a nose for where open space will develop, like he does.
And there's just nobody on the team that has his mental toughness and maniacal willingness to run horizontal routes without the fear of being clobbered. All of these just opens up the offense for the other players.
