The running games are pretty equal. Pats have a better passing game, unless Flacco gets really hot, which he can. Both Defenses are good, except maybe on special teams. Kicking games are even. Two good Coaches. Looks pretty even to me.

Where is the gnashing of teeth about whether they forced Gronk to return too early, whether they should have held him out… a la RG3?

Well of course he isn’t worried. The Patriots are now 5-1 on the season without Gronk playing. Brady literally has an army of recievers to cover up Gronk’s playing time.

Of course he’s not. Gronk is just another piece of meat BB doesn’t mind chewing up and spitting out. No one has less concern for their players than the Pats.

My gosh! The Pat’s success is really a thorn in your side, isn’t it??

What was nice was that even though a lot of their packages going in were built around Gronk and Woody, they were able to adjust in game and some other guys stepped in to big roles with little notice and were great (like Vereen).

Nor should he be. Gronk is an excellent TE, but this Pats offense is still a super-bowl quality offense even without him. Hernandez would start on almost every other team in the league. With the swift and hard fall of Vernon Davis this year, and the hardships Antonio Gates has faced both in terms of injuries and Phillip Rivers’ inability to play the QB position anymore, I would place Hernandez currently as a top 5 TE.

If I was a GM, and was told choose one TE and one only, Gronk, Witten and Gonzalez would be the only ones Id choose over Hernandez. Id have to stew about him vs. Jimmy Grahm for a while.

So all in all, yes, I think you’re right Brady. Nothing to worry about. Coming from a Pats hater.

Brady can make any receiver look good. He puts the ball right where it needs to be almost all the time. I get jealous watching QB’s like him and Manning for instance. They’re just fun to watch because of the way they play the game and the knowledge they have of the game. But I have to watch Andy Dalton overthrow, underthrow and not throw for a sack every week.

I’m much more worried about Woodhead’s availability in the next two games. Woodhead is the best pass rush blocker they have, and an excellent pass catcher. Vereen stepped up and showed he could do that role, but Danny is very important to protecting Tom if the O-line is struggling. Two very good D-lines coming up (Ravens & 49ers) and they’ll need all the options they can get.

Gronk is one of the key pillars of the organization. Or one of the key Poles at least.
