For a career it’s an unbelievable amount of consistent production,” Belichick said. “He’d probably be waiting longer to pass that record if he hadn’t gone against me so many times. He certainly threw a lot of them against defenses that I had. His durability, his longevity, his production and that’s why it is what it is, why that record is what it is. [Brett] Favre did it for a long time and on a very consistent level and Peyton has done the same thing even a little more. It’s a phenomenal accomplishment.

As Rob Gronkowski’s playing time has increased upon his return from a torn right ACL, the Patriots have trended more toward multiple-tight-end groupings, which makes sense. Specifically, the Patriots seem to have found something that works for them – going empty with the 2-WR/2-TE/1-RB grouping with Gronkowski and Tim Wright at tight end, which in a lot of ways could be viewed as a 3-WR package of sorts because of Wright’s presence as more of a pass-catching tight end.

Good stuff in here breaking down the Pats’ offense and how they’ve been experimenting early this season. I’ve always hoped they could get to use the Gronk-Wright 2-TE set more often, that best replicates the offense in 2011 and if it can get up to speed we know how hard that grouping is to stop. A lot of it hinges on Wright and I think now through the bye is a key period on him getting even more comfortable with the offense. We’ll see what the Pats unleash in Indy.
