Pats in Trouble?

It might be time for Patriots fans to start getting a little nervous. With their God Tom Brady already suspended the first four games of the season, luck does not seem to be on their side with the injury bug being caught early by many crucial players. Between the end of last season and training camps, many household names to New England fans are landing on the PUP list. Wide receiver Danny Amendola is still physically unable to perform with a nagging knee while last years breakout running back Dion Lewis still cannot practice since he is still trying to mend from tearing his ACL. As if those two weren't enough, the Patriots got more bad news yesterday with defensive end Rob Ninkovich going down with a triceps tear in practice that will keep him sidelined possibly until after week one. Trading Chandler Jones to Arizona is starting to look like a very bad move, as NE is going to have to rely on newly acquired Chris Long to go off while his teammate is getting better. Other names that are on their injured reserve include starting linemen Sebastian Vollmer, and Johnathon Cooper and Super Bowl 49 hero corner-back Malcolm Butler. Now this is where it gets scary for Pats fans, their star wide receiver Julian Edelman had finally returned to practice, only to be carted off the field on Tuesday with an apparent leg injury. After breaking his leg last season, who knows how he will perform now even if this injury turns out to be nothing. Now, I hate the Pats, my Giants have embarrassed them time after time, but if there is one team who can somehow get through all this shit it is them. Jimmy G finally has a chance to show what he is made of in the NFL so i would pray every night until week one that he is good Patriots fans. Oh, another positive is the party animal Gronk that they have at their disposal which can hopefully make up for the losses of potentially the two other decent receivers on this team. We will see how the year goes for the Pats, hopefully this plague of injuries does not ruin their season, but hey if it did i would not really care.
