The patriots Defense is good enough for the patriots to make it to and win the superbowl.
the patriots OFFENSE, HOWEVER, if they continue to play like they currently are is not, i am the biggest homer for the patriots around and say they will make the superbowl, however,
unless the patriots offense wakes the fuck up and actually scores touchdowns, i do not see this team making it past the ravens unless the patriots Defense shuts the raven offense completely down to score under 14 points.
i do not think it is entirely the fault of Brady, he is partially at fault, yes, the biggest fault is...receiving corps- besides edelman- there is no RELIABLE 2nd receiver on the fucking team.
all year defenses are doubling edelman, and keying on white out of the backfield with a safety or LB and defending the screen to white extremely well. Not one other player in the receiving corps has stepped up and has been able to reliably get open. all fucking year. meyers is the CLOSEST the patriots have to a 2nd reliable receiver currently...Sanu, harry and dorsett are not.
the patriots have 4 weeks to figure out their offense out and make it work, the running game is showing signs of shaping up, we just need the REST of the offense to work to allow the running game and the passing game to mesh into a functional unit.
edit: i will say the patriots played decently last night for the amount of people on the team that had the flu and still played. canon had to get IV fluids at halftime to continue playing.
