With Amendola out, Brady could be hurting for targets

Facing third down with Buffalo out of timeouts, and with the game heading toward the two-minute warning, New England could have ended the game right there. “We didn’t protect him as well as we’d like to, receivers will tell you they didn’t run routes as well as they’d like to, Ronnie [Hillman] and I will tell you we didn’t run the ball effectively as we’d like to, to make his job easier”. “I don’t know if you necessarily get it all wrapped up initially through training camp”. That’s fine, the Patriots are all about business; sorry that Belichick isn’t a player’s coach and he doesn’t like to play around. Was this simply the result of an off night or is this the beginning of a trend for a fully depleted offense? He’s still learning how to pass protect, but he could be considered the Patriots best run blocker and no one would really question the claim.

Buffalo’s Jerry Hughes applies one of the many hits that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady took Monday night. Moving forward I expect him to experience a drop off in production as he continues to lose weapons every week.

According to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Amendola was diagnosed with a knee sprain and is not expected to miss an extended amount of time. When will the Patriots finally get a break?

Bills coach Rex Ryan was diplomatic by saying “mistakes happen”, on Wednesday, when informed of Blandino’s comments.

Bills running back LeSean McCoy ran 20 times for 82 yards and a touchdown and caught six passes for 41 yards.

Their prized tight end, Charles Clay had just three targets and one grab.

Part of that is due to the offense forcing teams to become one dimensional to keep up with the scoring, but it’s also due to all of the new faces on the line.

“We’ll see how the week progresses”, Ryan said, without revealing the exact nature of Taylor’s injury.

The Patriots can win the AFC East if…they win at the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets lose (or tie).

Single-covering Gronkowski for most of the game is too unsafe.

If there’s ever been a time to make a concerted effort to find out what the Patriots running game is capable of accomplishing, this might just be it.

Dobson might not be as lucky as Amendola. You want to be able to do both. The risk here of course is that this pickup is exclusively dependent on speculation and has no previous production to measure.

Taylor finished the game against the Pats completing 20 of 36 passes for 233 yards but was unable to throw a touchdown pass, also getting sacked twice. I would stay away in most cases.

White is coming off a confidence-boosting performance with his first two career touchdowns against the Bills, but he still only tallied two runs for 14 yards and a couple receptions for 32 yards. Chiefs QB Alex Smith does most of his damage underneath and will look often to TE Travis Kelce, who leads the Chiefs with 50 catches for 620 yards.
