Plan A: Run a two tight-end offense with Gronk and Hernandez as the center pieces. Then you just need Edelman and Amendola to be solid, with hopefully some contributions from one of three rookie WRs.
Plan B: Okay, Hernandez was a scum bag, but we can still run a single TE set once Gronk is healthy. We'll need another WR to step up, but that's still a solid formation to go along with a deep running game.
Plan C: No Gronk... ok, well the rookie WRs are coming along, so we can go four wide and spread the defense out. Dobson, Thompkins outside giving us deep/intermediate routes, Edelman, Amendola as two great slot options. Vereen as the back you can kick out wide in empty sets. This is still pretty good.
Plan D: No Thompkins or Dobson, eh? Well... okay... we play more clock control, ride the running game which has depth, talent, and versatility.
Plan E: So our starting tackles are out, plus one of the reserves? We're kicking our best interior, run blocking lineman outside in desperation? I guess... I mean I guess we can... ******! I'm out of ideas.
Still within a throw of winning a road game against a playoff caliber team, but I think at this point the injuries have handcuffed us in every possible way offensively.
