Good read from TEC, pointing out what a great season Gostkowski has had, and how he’s hit a big kick in almost every game this season.

The 1960 hoodies (Blue and Grey) look like the top choices as we move into the cold weather portion of the season. And he’s strangely not hacking off the sleeves like he used to.
Nice to see Fletcher getting a shot on defense.

I’ve been a long time Pats fan, but as happy as I am about the turn around in this game against Miami today and the win, I can’t help but be very worried and concerned about the rest of the season. There’s so many problems to overcome: key injuries, rookie players, Brady seeming off a lot of the time, not using the running game enough, O-Line issues….what are some things they can do in the rest of the season to try to overcome these weak points as much as they can and win in the Playoffs?
Perhaps more than any season, they just have to keep coming together. They’ll likely have one more game without Vereen and then the bye week. That should be a great time to get some quality work in. If they get fully healthy, they’re a pretty talented team and should make some noise down the stretch. Offensively, I feel like all the pieces are in place to really put it all together. Vereen, Amendola and Gronk are huge keys to that and all three of them must get back up to speed.
Issues like protection, lack of running attack, etc. can all be worked out and things like that are almost always figured out by mid-November.
Defensively, if you put Talib and Kelly back in the mix and I don’t see how this defense still isn’t better than anything the Pats have had the last three seasons, even without Mayo and Wilfork. For reals.
So I know it’s been sloppy and ugly, but if everyone can just hold on for a couple more weeks, that’s when the season actually starts. Let’s just be happy the Pats are already in a great position in the AFC and barring a huge meltdown, will be back in the playoffs once again.
And as we’ve seen from the average regular season teams that have won recent Super Bowls, it doesn’t matter how you looked in October when you’re playing in January.
In the first half, the Dolphins ran the ball 22 times for 103 yards. In the second half, they ran just nine times for 53 yards. They were actually more productive per carry, but they freaked out as soon as New England knotted the game at 17.
A fair point of criticism, but after three seasons of stout run defense and crappy pass defenseI’m all for a change of scenery. Armond Armstead might be able to help inside against the run as well.
