The Patriots have won super bowls and playoff games without Gronk. It’s more about working the middle of the field and having a good second scoring threat weather than comes from TE or a number two receiver, or a slot receiver who can work the middle of the field. For example if Ross played like the number 9 pick , it would open up the offense for Green , we wouldn’t miss Eifert as much and Kroft could just be a compliment piece. But the line makes the difference, philly could run the ball and use play action effectively, plus the line could give Foles time to throw. All things the Bengals can’t do.
Very spot on! I've been preaching this for a long time, need to get WR involved in the middle of the field more. Every pass is almost outside the numbers.
