Pats Face Big Challenge in Miami

Can the Gronk-less Pats score in the first half? Can the Pats porous defense stop Ryan Tannehill? Can the O line protect #12? Lots of questions. Lots of replacement players in action today. One thing you can count on is that any player in a Pats uniform will give their best effort for Bill Belichick & their fellow teammates. Blue collar, lunch pail - whatever you call it, this team has made it difficult for opponents to beat them after 60 minutes of play. And today's game should be no different. Guys like Stevan Ridley, Julien Edelman, Brandon Bolden, et al will have to step it up to give Brady options now that Gronk is out for the year. And the defense needs to figure out a way to limit points. Given the Peyton Manning & Denver loss on Thursday, this is a big game for the Patriots to take over the #1 seed & clinch the AFC East. I say they do it 20-17.
