Sometimes the simplest things are the best
 
Mayo may be out for the year?! fecks sake :(

"THAT FRAGILE MOTHERfeckER PULLS A HAMMY EACH WEEK JUST LISTENING TO THE NATIONAL ANTHEM" :lol:
 
Not sure what base defense Minnesota employ but Dallas just released Jay Ratliff. Granted he's been oft-injured the last 2-3 seasons he can play DT in a 4-3 (best suited with a bigger DT next to him) or as a DE in a 3-4 (too small to play NT in 3-4 and this is part reason why a) he was oft-injured in Dallas as they continued to use him at NT, and b) he's more effective as a DE in a 3-4).


Minnesota runs a 4-3, with Shariff Floyd and Kevin Williams rotating as the DT, and two journeymen rotating as the NT. So it's a NT we need :) Leroy Guion and Fred Evans aren't good enough. None of them are good enough to consistently take on double teams.
 
And Mayo is out for the season? Jesus. Two perennial pro bowlers gone from the defense, Talib injured, Adrian Wilson hasn't even been able to play a game. Sad thing is this is the first year that the Pats have had a good defense since about 2009. If they had last years O with an uninjured D they would probably be favourites for the Super Bowl. At least Gronk is back though
 
Peyton returning to Indy should be a good game.

Gronk's return is huge, our RedZone efficiency should improve with him back. Hopefully he is able to stay healthy.
 
Captain Munnarlyn (spelling?) is a great name.
 
fecks sake.

Our secondary is so poor without Talib. He better get a new contract...
 
feck off, one catch and smashed straight in the arm.....

As long as he's not hurt, that's the best thing that could've happened. Any mental doubts he had about taking hits and catching balls should be out of his mind now.

Nice gain there.
 
TD!!!

Lovely drive. Gronk making a difference already.
 
Great effort from Royal to get in on the TD.

Jets look like they're able to get to the RedZone relatively easily but fortunately haven't taken advantage yet with TDs.
 
TD!!!! Ridley with a nice run.

Offense is so much better with Gronk.
