So what to make of the offense for the next couple of games?

[BTTA]

On the positive side:

• has been on a great run lately
• always seems to have trouble in Miami so perhaps yesterday isn't that significant
• AH looks like himself again
• Welker is playing great ball right now
• the O Line seems to survive the injuries pretty well
• the running game was excellent in crunch time yesterday, just when Miami was set up to stop it and needed to desperately

On the down side:

• Edelman's important role (who would have thunk it?) and potentially being out for a while
• The O Line is at the bottom of the depth chart already, and in come two teams with very good front seven players
• What's happened to Lloyd? Why can't he be integrated in as a major player? A mystery that needs solving.

What are our chances against Houston and SF?

 

[Double TE]

The O Line was really thin w/o Connelly and Mankins. Edelman went out, there was no Gronk. So if the same offense hits the field vs. the Texans watch for a lot of Ridley/Vereen and screens to Welker and AH.

Keep in mind the Pats beat the Fins w/o their best Offensive Weapon (sans Brady); Best O Lineman; Best Pass Rusher.

Pretty impressive
