I wouldn't look too much into the stats. Belichick game plans each week specifically for the opponent and takes advantage of their flaws. 

 

For example - against Pittsburgh, we dropped 6-7 into coverage on the majority of defensive plays, and played mostly 250lb DL because we were trying to stop the pass. Hence, Pittsburgh was able to run the ball consistently. 

 

Another example - we did not run the ball much in either game, because there were matchups to be exploited in the passing game. So while we did not accumulate many rushing yards, Dion Lewis who has started at RB for us in the first 2 games is averaging 5 YPC, and has 258 all purpose yards, which I believe is top 5 in the league. We threw 59 times in the Buffalo game.

 

Against the Jags, I assume we see more of the same. I expect Belichick to employ a pass heavy offense, since it looks like the Jags have been pretty good against the run. 

 

Jags seem to be playing fairly well this year. Should be an interesting match up. Will Julius Thomas be playing?

Latest Update is no go for JT for this week maybe next week. Appreciate you not attacking post like Panthers fans last week. I only post stats to show tendencies obviously that is "why we play the games".  I will say it amazes me that opposing fans post on Opposing teams website. I guess that is new social media...I am old no tweeting or facebook for me :mellow:
