If Sebastian Vollmer is able to contribute, after missing multiple games with a back ailment, a 3 TE / 2 WR set featuring Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, and Nate Solder as the inline blocker could be a devastating force. If the Giants go to their nickel defense, the Patriots can motion Hernandez into the backfield and run the ball. The TE/RB combination has been extremely lethal, leaving defenses unable to ascertain what sort of personnel grouping is truly on the field. If the Giants keep their base defense in, Brady has weapons on the field to attack with and six offensive linemen to protect him. Expect to see the Patriots offense go into the hurry-up if they can catch the Giants defense in the personnel group that they want.

The actual outcome of play is enough to settle almost any debate, and those that can’t—arguments about clutchness, leadership, or poise—are hopelessly subjective. Perhaps this accounts for his sunniness this week, which is basically the football argument week. Every topic can be spun into endless comparisons and appeals to subjectivity. Anyone can win on any given Sunday, so sometimes that can mean that the best team doesn’t.

Appearing on NFL Network Thursday, NFL insider Michael Lombardi confirmed that the Patriots will place the franchise tag on Wes Welker if a long-term deal can’t be reached. “They’ve been trying all season to get a deal done,” said Lombardi, “but it hasn’t come to fruition yet. … They’re not going to lose Wes Welker. He’s going to be a part of their team.” The Pats would prefer to sign their leading receiver to a 2-3 year deal. The wide receiver franchise tag will drop from $11.5 million to roughly $9.4 million this year.
