New England Patriots: 3 takeaways from awful Week 2 thumping

Tom Brady needs someone to throw it to.

Another reason the Patriots struggled on offense is due to their lack of pass catchers. It isn’t good when a running back (James White) is your leading pass catcher.

Phillip Dorsett had another solid effort, but after that everyone struggle once again. This allowed for Rob Gronkowski to be double teamed and be a virtual nonfactor.

Gronk only had 2 catches for 15 yards. When you are the best tight end to play the game, you can’t be putting up those numbers.

This is just another reason why the Patriots need to go out and make a move. Maybe we could see Josh Gordon in a Patriots uniform?

Week 2 was an awful one for the New England Patriots, but then again you can’t win every game. There is no need to overreact.

The Patriots season isn’t over (yet). One bad performance doesn’t define a season. The Patriots need to regroup and have a good performance against the Detroit Lions. If they struggle even more then it is time to get worried.

We are on to Detroit!
