You say they have no running game but that simply isnt true.. its run by committee.. If you remember correctly in 2008 with Cassell at the helms the pats were 7th in the league for rushing with Sammy Morris Kevin Faulk and BJGE handling the majority of the duties. This year we have Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris who if they stay healthy are very solid veterans, you got a 25 yr old Maroney in a contract year and the ever reliable Faulk. No superstars but guys who can split the load and produce when needed. Being a pass first offense, Welker is the guy who gets first down yardage in place of a first down run. Obviously for the amount they run a probowl rb isnt needed. If you got a guy like Chad Henne at QB a higher emphasis is needed on your running back but when you have Tom Brady obviously you think pass first.

Like I said let the season play out and we will see ill eat my words if I have to but I still see Miami as the third team in that division and I dont think its even close... Im predicting a 9-7 record for them AT BEST
