I don't think we can assume that Brady alone will guarantee that the pats go 15-1 and prance through the playoffs to title town.
I see an aggressive defense with a solid front 7 that is vulnerable in the secondary. They can be exploited if your offensive line wins in the trenches. Ours did that yesterday without question.
On offense, we really don't know what we're facing until Marsha is back. I will say, however, that I have watched all 4 of their games now and they are horrible at pass protection. Their offensive line is trash. Brady is going to be running for his life if he can't consistently release the ball in 1.7 seconds. Maybe he can....?
Also, what's up with Gronk? He doesn't look like himself. Clearly a significant, and nagging hamstring injury.
