A worst case scenario, given the current squad, is they lose to PIT, DEN, OAK and sweep the rest to finish 11-5...do you expect the Patriots to win out and finish 14-2? That's awfully optimistic if you do.
I think the initial report was premature and he is being examined by Andrews today.So are we anticipating a miracle or an error/omission by the media?
I’m sure they will have a bad game or 2 but individually I expect them to win each game.A worst case scenario, given the current squad, is they lose to PIT, DEN, OAK and sweep the rest to finish 11-5...do you expect the Patriots to win out and finish 14-2? That's awfully optimistic if you do.

RIPStarting to wonder if Jamie Collins talent-wise would have been a better fit to remain in New England. Sure, its great that Hightower makes clutch plays, but it is vital for him to actually play for the majority of the games that we play. As much as I love Hightower, we need a leader for our defense being able to play on a weekly basis so that we don't field different starters every week.
Johnathan Hankins seems to have recovered okay, but he did last way longer than expected in free agency even a full year later. We’re about to get a whole lot more data points between Hightower, Freeman, Mercilus, and Malcolm Smith, though.Does any athlete ever fully recover from a torn pec - that's a brutal injury.
We won a super bowl without gronk and collins last year. I think we should be ok
Jake KumerowThere is only one player without whom the Patriots cannot win a Super Bowl at this time and he does not play LB.
McCourty is the only guy I could think of...The Patriots agree with you.
If you look at the High contract they totally hedged their bets.
With the exception of Brady, I cannot think of another player in the BB era in which they have doled out a mega deal to a player beyond age 30.

If the Steelers can’t beat them this year with the #1 pass defense, both Brown/Bell healthy, and the Patriots finishing up a stretch of 5 road games in 6 weeks, they should just fire Tomlin and start over.Eventually.
I'm looking at the Pats to beat the Chargers by 3, and a possible hiccup in Poopsburgh.
I've loved the way the D has gelled the last few contests. There will be a slight adjustment required (another learning curve), but we should excel if everybody remembers BB's words:
"Do your job."
There's definitely something out of the ordinary here, so I don't think Schefter was wrong, necessarily. If it had been a complete tear, then they would likely have known "almost immediately," in Dr. Flynn's words. The torn pectorals for Malcolm Smith, Whitney Mercilus, William Jackson (2016), and Johnathan Hankins (2015) were all announced the same day that they happened. Mercilus', in particular, was reported about 4 hours after the injury occurred if I'm doing my time zone math correctly. The news on Jerrell Freeman and Cameron Heyward (2016) came on Tuesdays after Sunday games. Will Beatty tore his in May of 2015 and had surgery the next day.Why did Shefter say he was visiting Andrews for a 2nd opinion?
Looks like this might be the first time he's screwed up on info.
