so, in three of the last four games, Bledsoe has done what was asked of him: nothing spectacular, but he played consistent, mistake free football. That will beat the Dolphins, the Cardinals and the Jets, but I don't think it will beat NE.
Belichek knows Drew and our O-line struggles too well. He will also be eager to shut down McGahee, who won't be taking teams by surprise anymore. I expect to see 8 in the box. NE has some injuries in the defensive backfield- if we're going win, Drew needs to make them PAY and do it early. Normally, the run is used to set up the pass, but I think in this instance it needs to be the opposite. If Drew completes a few throws early, it will force the D to back off and open some holes for McGahee. Otherwise, expect a long day of blitzes and a lot of turnovers.
