Did anyone see the exchange at the end of the 1st half from the trainer who came back up and talked to BB? You could read his lips, not good.

Just when you think things couldn't get any worse then they already have...more injuries! Looked like Evans hit him square in the elbow. Any official word?

Yes I saw that too. I know that people will rip me to shreds, but if this team makes the playoffs I will be surprised. If they make it to the Super Bowl, I WILL BE STUNNED. There are too many injuries on this team, and most of the injured players are our best players.

Hochstein. He finished the half.

And no, it didn't look good.

Was it a premonition by BB to dress an extra inside lineman? Normally, its just one and one for the game. Today, he dressed both Yates and Hochstein, while putting Britt on inactive.

Purely a guess here but I would say it's a dislocated elbow, not sure what the time frame on one of those injuries is though.

DR- I heard that said about the Patriots in 2003 and 2004. They won the SB both times. So, we all know anything can happen.

That was with the best player in the game to make up for multiple injuries - not here this year

But you can dream - its O.K.
