Morris was leading the Pats in rushing and he'll miss the rest of the season. Now the question is, will TD-less Maroney be able to carry the load the rest of the season?

Uh...Won't hurt much...It wasn't like Morris was starting...Maroney is starting...and they have Kevin Faulk and the fullback, Heath Evans...They'll be fine...
Yeah, they're still gonna beat the Colts...If you're goin there, don't bother...*L*...

it's definitely an issue, Morris showed himself to be an excellent back. I don't think it will cost them games though. Maroney will be fine if he can stay healthy, and role players like Faulk and Evans will help. Certainly Evans can provide goal line pop, and most of the time they score on short throws anyway.
The other thing you have to remember is that now that the Pats can stretch the field with Moss and Stallworth, short passes to guys like Welker, Watson, Faulk, Gaffney and Kyle Brady are almost like handoffs.

I dont think it will hurt the Patriots at all. My belief was that Morris was productive as a result of the Pats offense. You could really fit anyone in that role and they would succeed.

none, the pats were scoring TDs by throwing the ball, not running. besides they still have maroney. so losing morris is no big deal at all.

the patriots will be perfectly fine without s.morris. there offensive system is based on passing including the short pass which is nothing more than a long handoff plus remember they still have kevin faulk,who is a more than adequate to back-up morris.

you can't just rely on one person out of your whole offense or defense to win the game for you.
I'm sure they will miss him not being on the field, but like I said, you can't just rely on one person to get the job done for you.
I'm a patriots fan no matter what.
