Yeah, thats what I keep telling myself...but Buffalo's offense isn't great. The good thing is, and Curran hit upon this last nite in response to Felger, there just aren't a lot of great teams and or great offenses out there.

But one of the reasons we have weathered this Brady storm is that the defense, with the exception of a few plays and a couple bad games, has been very good. That needs to continue and the team needs to find a way to fill Thomas void, b/c even with Cassel looking great, this still isn't the same team without Brady, and if the team wants to win, the defense has to hold teams to under 20 points consistently.

I think it's a huge loss.

Well, I'm sure Flava-Favre is relieved. Won't be he surprised when Mini-Vince knocks him on his can?

It is a huge loss. I'm not about to sweep that under the rug. But I think this team can overcome without AD. We weathered the loss of Brady. NOTHING can be worse than that.

See, while Buffalo's offense "isn't that great" they have a lot of good players on it. Their O-line is very solid and they have 1 excellent RB in Lynch and a good back in Jackson. Yet, they tried to run at Woods several times and weren't able to with any success.

Woods has set the well edge every time we've seen him this year, dating back to preseason, no doubt. My concern deals more with the sub packages. With losing Rodney, we already lost some flexibility and depth there.

Same goes for AD, the team could run out the 2-4-5, 3-3-5, 2-5-4, and like I said, I think it all works largely b/c of AD. Vrabel doesn't have AD's skills in coverage, and I'm not sure about Woods. So the team might have to end up going smaller than it wants, bringing in an extra DB or safety, making it more susceptible to the run in its 2nd & 3rd down packages.

It's like every week something good happens, we lose another great player. Are you there God, it's me Neuronet. Please make the hell cease!

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.
