That is not thin. The top 4 WRs can play. We never use wr5 so why does it matter that we don’t have one?
What top defenses? Our schedule is no more loaded with good defensive opponents than anyone else, probably less because of our division.
Other than jville and Minnesota where do you see top defenses on our schedule.
There is no way in hell there are 10 better offenses.
The ol has 1 change.
So 10-15 other teams will whoop good teams and stay healthy?
It Tom Brady.
It’s always a top offense because of brady. I just wanna see how it does against some of the best defenses in the nfl like the jaguars. Hogan as great as he has been has struggled breaking off man coverage before. Edelman is coming off ACL. We need him to be the same Edelman before the injury.

If there are injuries they will adapt. It’s Tom Brady.The OL has one change but it's a major one, especially given how shaky Thuney was next to LT
I'm not counting on Michel, Patterson or Dorsett for much and Gronk, Edelman and Hogan have durability concerns
Look, if everyone stays healthy and if Brown is a great LT, it's a great offense. I don't think that's likely though. They're relying heavily on injury plagued guys (one of whom is suspended for PEDs and coming off a major injury) and guys who have busted elsewhere. What happens if Gronk or Edelman goes down as they've been prone to doing? You're confident in Patterson and Hollister? Or are you just high on the chances that Gronk and Edelman stay healthy all year?
Public relations will be very good. Just watch.I just bolded the reasons why they are pumping 27-30 ppg in 2018.
The questions are on defense and PR. Not offense.
When has Brady had 4-5 ypa as his “usual”?Without Edelman and vs Houston and Jacksonville they'll look bad on offense. Brady will have his usual 4 to 5 yards/attempt game vs good defenses shorthanded. Hogan won't be able to get open and they'll be in the 20-30% range on third down...
One of these is not like the others.Best QB of all time.
Arguably best TE of all time.
2nd best kick returner of all time (yards per return--second only to Gale Sayers).
Best coach of all time.
Hall of Fame OC.
I think they'll be ok.
Bumpy? It might get downright ugly. I’m okay with winning ugly in the first four weeks though.As long as we have Tom Brady we are top 5, although I expect things to be a little bumpy out of the gate without Edelman.

Do we have a top 5 passing team as usual, or one of the worst in 20 years? IMHO, choose our backup gameday OL's and this is our usual top offense.

================
And, most teams would be dread to have the too small, too slow, 7th rounder/UFDA Edelman and Hogan as your best two WRs, but these are the guys the GOAT has made a legacy on.
