My point about blowing things off and/or holding back may be unfounded for this season, i do not know.
I do know for pretty much certainly that the Pats took a powder so to speak in Miami in 2015 in order to exchange health at the risk of not securing HFA had they beaten Miami. They just ran the ball with Steven Jackson with Gronk just running route and avoiding contact.
The theory was to err on the side of health as opposed to HFA as they would rather be healthy and go where they go as opposed to try to be at home with a more hurt team.
This year Brady appear to hurt his knee in the Tenn game and was bailing out of a lot of plays for a few games afterwards. Fortunately, he looks okay as well as most of the team.
Given what the team did in 2015 and Brady bailing, just made me pause for a bit. Not saying i am right mind you.
