I think the people that are hoping a fully healthy team can be the only difference against a NE in NE this year need to realize that isn't going to happen. It would be amazing if this team suffers tons of injuries during the regular season and then in the playoffs, boom, healthy. Seems unlikely.
If we go into NE for a divisional round or AFCCG, odds are we will be less than full strength. To me that means Reid will have to be better, our redzone will have to be better, Alex will have to be at "his" best(haven't seen it much this year), and the defense will have to be on. Just seems like we will end up with a major guy on one side, if not both sides, of the ball missing.
Can't think that just being healthy is enough change from last years playoff loss to make the difference. Some actual differences will be needed from the players on the field and the coaches off it.
