Julius Thomas will improve the offense, but one player shouldn't matter that much unless he's the QB. And that doesn't explain the failure of the run game. NE's run defense stinks. Pittsburgh ran for 134 yards against NE without Le'Veon Bell. Buffalo put up 160. Both team's RBs averaged about 6 yards per carry. Yeldon had 33 yards on 11 carries, Gerhart 3 for 10. With even a halfway competent Jags running game NE wouldn't have had time to score 51.

Yes I believe they will as long as Brady is under center Pats will be hard to be beat. New England made it a must to work on there run defense and they did just that. Look The Jags were very predictable Bellicheck knew exactly what the Jags plan was going to be.Jags  kept running the ball when they had 8 in the box it is hard to be successful when you run against looks like that on a regular basis. Jags need to throw the ball more  when they get looks like that. Jags have a better O line for passing not so much running. Jags will improve as the season goes on. JT will almost be double covered every time that will leave guys open.JT will help out more than you think and in more ways as well
