Losing Gronk definitely hurts alot against those good defenses though, no question. Pats are largely a Hernandez/Welker team now, and that's not really good enough. We learned that Moss/Welker couldn't win it all, though they came close, obviously. Now we have a running game, but the defense is very meh.

Fair to say that if they do lose two games out of four, then they won't deserve one of the top few seeds anyway.

Sure, it's asking a lot - but these are 2 very tough and very good teams with HOU and SF. So, it won't be easy wins for NE by any means. Win 1 of them and it's a moot point really, but I don't think they win both.
