I'm fine with Patterson being a "semi-secret" weapon. There's really no reason to use him "more" right now.
It was like Brady saying, "You guys scheme to take away Gordon, Edelman and Gronk? Fine. I've got Patterson. Our defense takes away Thielen and Diggs, then what do YOU have?"
If some future foe takes away Patterson, Brady/McD will figure out a way to kill them with Dorsett between the 20s and then toss a TD to Hollister.
Nine different Pats players caught at least one pass from Brady yesterday. Meanwhile, seven different Pats players had at least one rush for positive yardage. Only Develin didn't have a carry for at least five yards, and he had 2 TDs. The Pats hung 160 rushing yards at a 4.1 ypa clip, and the 2 rushing TDs, on one of the top-2 run defenses in the league.
This is how I can tell when the Pats offense is finally clicking - when they can use pretty much anyone at any time as a productive weapon against a good defense.
