Edelman carted off the field

[Manster7588]

I'm here to spread joy for all.

You know that prediction will always be with you like a bad tattoo.
Tramp Stamps are often regretted later in life.

Oh yes. I know. That's why i'm Mr. Humble nowadays. I was superstitious as an athlete and I am superstitious as a fan. I've tried cocky, timid, confused, etc. One of these days I will fall on the right emotion and the Cards will win it all.

You know, because how I feel has an absolute affect on how the Cards perform.

O know but I think its safe to say one won't be there all 16 games.
Not one to chear injury, but him being out is very good for the rest of us. IMO the most dangerous weapon on the field when healthy.

Just picked up Hogan in Fantasy, now that Edleman's done he should either be the #2 or #3 depending on whether they give it to Amendola or not.

It becomes more of an issue if they start stacking injuries to skill positions. They're a Gronk injury away from being significantly more defensible.

The NE offense is designed to spread the ball around. While you hate to see a player go down, no one should feel to sorry for them. They gonna be jus fine

I wonder if they can find another guy to run a 3 yard slant

 

[PatsFan2003]

Yeah unfortunately they have so many stinking weapons it isn't even fair. The area I could see a big blow to though is special teams. Having to put Cyrus Jones out on punt return has to be one of the scariest decisions Belichick has to make on a week to week basis.

This is definitely a year they are in great shape to absorb Edelman going down but still he was super reliable when Brady needed a key completion. So it will hurt.

I think Deion Lewis is going to return punts. Unless they find him too valuable as a running back. But for now I think he's the man.

Its pre-season but the defense looks shaky. Butler has been off so far.

. Don't be surprised if they turn Burkhead into a slot receiver....

yep

and he'll get 80+ catches

 

[PatsFan2003]

Exactly. Edelman had something like a 100+ which is while they'll still miss him.

Like others have said it will depend on receivers like Gronk, Mitchell and Amendola... Gronk has alternated between full and half year, Amedola and Mitchell have had theirs issues so we'll see.

Hogan looks suddenly great

And Cookes has been blowing up teams in practice so far.

 

[Southieinnc]

Austin Carr - next man up.....

Oh right. Forgot about him.

They'll adapt

Preseason games don't count.

I've forgotten more about football than you'll ever know.

You seem to have forgotten a lot... You better get a checkup for dementia.
