Edelman Injury Seems to Now Be Confirmed

Just going off your "this is big" from the JE injury...to me, "this is big" is catastrophic.

Losing Gronk was big. They won a SB without him, although it took years of trying. This is bigger, IMO, because this is the chain mover. But, as long as TB12 is TB12, "this is big" means "this makes it ___% harder to win the SB", not "****, time to join the Jets in the tankapalooza".

Also nobody here said we were done. Foxboro took something DI said out of context and now its turned into something it isnt.

Jules will be missed in the tough games against top defenses...

Ok, but even without JE the Pats are well beyond the rest, IMO.

No doubt this injury will change the way we play offense - we did not fear 3rd and 8 - Brady felt that down was easy pickings. Now - different plays may be run in that situation. And it may affect how we play 1st and 2nd down. There will be adjustments - by a team known for making them.

Pull the sunshine out of your ass, for crying out loud. We've seen this team without Edelman. It's a legit loss.

Cooks, Mitchell, Hogan, Amendola,
WOW!

Amendola has been clutch he doesn't have the quicks that Jules has. Mitchell has to take that second year jump. He has to.

Very disappointed, kinda ruined my night.... But not even remotely concerned. Still have more than enough great weapons, and tom brady.

JE11 turned himself into a great player - works his ass off.

Don't get me wrong, I know Jules made himself into what he has become. All I'm saying is that if anyone can make up for this horrid situation, it's #12...

I like the sunshine there though.
In all seriousness I know it's a loss, but I also know how many Pats fans thought Jules was a joke when Wes Left...lol!
We're you one of them?

Hogan can ball
Wonder if we bring in another wr or we promote Carr or Lucien.

This isn't the Pats first rodeo to an injured star player. They will be fine.

Everyone seems to love Carr on this board.

Are you trolling, or just being ridiculous for other reasons?

Would you ride with the wrs we have now or would you look elsewhere?

How long before somebody asks if the Patriots are better without Edelman? First completetion of the season?

I'm most certainly not trolling...I guess I'm being ridiculous.

Remember TB is playing better than he was when he won with JAG WRs. The team is also featuring 4 running backs who can run and catch so it wont be so 1 dimensional like it was last year with LB. I bet Hogan takes a jump. DA feeling better than ever. A healthy Gronk?

Its sucks but it can be overcome
