This was the first game in which they missed Gronk both as a blocker and a receiver. The offense looked like a unit going through some attrition right now. Defense looked phenomenal. Getting White, Edelman, and Develin back will get the offense looking like itself again.
The commentators made mention that AB was working with the first team unit the whole week. So the Patriots had to adjust their game plan on Saturday, and still put up 30, despite losing their best WR half way through the game
I would expect the offense to play better next week since AB is gone.
