Patriots Have Dramatically Improved Getting the Ball Down the Field

[Ian]

Here's an entry I finished a bit ago with some numbers that you might find interesting comparing how they fared in weeks 1-4 compared to the last four games :

Amazing turnaround from the loss in weeks 1 and 4. Better play all around, and a more aggressive attack on offense.

We've been lacking big plays for awhile, and the past couple/few years of Brady's downfield passes of 20+ yards have shown that. It's great to see progression like this. Let's hope it continues.

Isn't it amazing what establishing and maintaining a Pocket for a Pocket passer to side shuffle and step up, can do.

No longer are the Patriots "weaponless". We have the best #1 receiver in the league, a slot threat in his prime, with a proven backup; and three Big 6-3 outside WRs, along with an accomplished 'move' TE.

The best #1 receiver in the league? Who is that?

Rob gronkowski, aka GRONK

Gronk is better as a pass catcher and TD producer, than Megatron over their careers. Plus he can block as well, and is NOT a Diva.

How about "the best pass-catcher in the league"?
