Dolphins 22, Patriots 21

The Patriots again looked awful in this one.  The defense made Chad Henne and the Dolphins offense look great.  But I think the bigger problem is the offense.  We (surprisingly) don’t have enough weapons on offense!  Teams can come out and double cover Moss and shut him down.  And that leaves Welker as our only other legitimate receiving threat.  He’s doing great in that role (leading the league in receptiosn), but its not enough.  We need a 3rd receiver (not Sam Aiken).  Not having Donte Stallworth or Jabar Gaffney hurts us.  They used to always say that Brady’s favorite target was the one that was open, because he would spread the ball around so much.  Now it just goes to Welker.  One thing I really don’t understand is how the tight ends haven’t gotten more involved in the passing offense.  Surely Watson and Baker should be getting more throws their way as teams double cover Moss and Welker.
