If Hill doesn't get Develin-ed we aren't in this situation. White, Hill, Burkhead, Michel had made our RB stable a strength, we just got hit with a lot of injuries. And we were playing without a top 10 player in the league (at one point anyways) in Gronk, dealing with tons of problems on the OL, etc.
Making this game all because we didn't match Dions offer is the sort of specious reasoning I'd expect from the GDT not a player who was bagging groceries before the Pats signed him and gave him an extension.
