FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots’ offense was dealt a serious blow Wednesday when it was revealed that starting left tackle Nate Solder will be lost for the rest of the 2015-16 campaign.

According to a team source, Solder will require season-ending surgery for a torn right biceps suffered late in the first half of Sunday’s 30-6 victory over the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas....

“Yeah, that was a call they made and we’re just going to roll forward and see what happens,’’ the 6-foot-8-inch, 325-pound Solder said before exiting the locker room with an ice pack on his arm.

Bill Belichick on replacing Nate Solder:
In-house options are capable

Belichick didn’t reveal the team’s plan, which will either be flipping seven-year veteran Sebastian Vollmer (6-foot-8, 320 pounds) from right tackle to left tackle, or simply inserting five-year veteran Marcus Cannon (6-5, 335) at left tackle, but spoke confidently about both players.

Edelman broke his pinky finger, on a TD.

He's still going to play.

[truth18]

I **** love Edelman. I have since 2012 honestly. One of my favorite Patriots players ever.

[Geoffrey P]

Looks like one of those trap games

[Geoffrey P]

Defense is pretty much a sieve right now

[truth18]

Edelman, wow.

[BRUNiNHO91]

That was one of the most ridiculous plays I've ever seen. What a fail.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Wow I didn't even know you could jump over the line like that. That's wicked..why don't more teams do that? lol

[Geoffrey P]

I don't know the exact rules/definitions but if you hit a player while doing that you get whacked with a 15 yard penalty. It has to do with those safety rules like last year when Chris Jones pushed players forward during a FG attempt.

Idk the rules either, I did hear the guy say it's a penalty if he touches somebody while doing it. At first glance on a **** link I actually thought he stepped on one of the Patriots' back to hop over, it wasn't until the replay that I saw it was a clean jump.

One would think we would see more of these during game winning field goal attempts, which are nearly never blocked anyways.

[Geoffrey P]

Timing is huge with it too. You really have to know the snap count or you're either going to jump the gun or be too late. I think teams are just too scared of the penalties and I don't there's a bunch of people in the league that can pull that off. Chancellor and Collins are freaks to begin with.
