I think this more than anything else is going to hurt them, if anything hurts them at all. Injuries have killed their run game, with Maroney missing several games and Morris being out for the year after emerging as a bonafide #1. Faulk is nothing more than a 3rd down back. This is the missing piece of this team being a complete juggernaut.

If Brady has a bad game, the Pats will suffer because they don't have anyone who can carry the ball effectively 20+ times.
