Then why don't they commit to it? I have seen them give up on it far to much.

The playoffs are different, they'll get motivation and give it all, they must, because if they don't, we're going home.
I believe they will take care of business, not against the ravens, beacause they are good against the run, but through the whole playoffs(if we get there)

Great question but your criticism should be against the playcalling and not against the players IMO. Think you will find many posts on our board wondering why the playcalling keeps switching to pass even when the RBs are doing a good job.

With Welker out, I guess we could expect to see our RBs a lot more than we did during the regular season.

I guess you haven't watched that many games this season to make such a statement about the Patriots running game.

Truth be told, if we really wanted to, we could have blown the Texans apart at any stage I felt. Getting the Steelers out of the equation was worthwhile enough to "lose" this game.

No doubt in my mind we matchup better with Indy. Yes they beat us, but they shouldn't have. We pretty much walked into Indy and dominated them for 55 minutes. Maroney fumbling at the goaline when we are going in for the kill is where it all began to fall apart. I fear SD a lot more.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Gotta take care of business vs. a tough Baltimore team first. Let's go.

Ask Brady.. He's the one who audibles out of the run more often than not..

The 10 there means targets. He caught 6 passes for 48 yards.

Something Edelman can definitely achieve.

About Welker though, that was only one of three games under 50 yards receiving. Incredible.

I think Rodney wont last long with NBC .

I love that Rodney speaks his mind and isn't afraid to rip anyone, even BB on the 4th and 2 call. I like his analysis of things, and at the least he's something better to look at than that alien Tony Dungy.

Brady2Welker · 01-04-2010, 03:49 AM

He [Rodney] got into a huge argument with the other host today, outside of SNF.

The other guy (I'm bad with names

) Asked Dungy and Rodney to predict an upset next week, and Dungy said that he thinks that the Cardinals will upset GB. He asked Rodney and Rodney said there would be no upsets, because the Cardinals are a better team. The dude whos name is escaping me, said what about Baltimore over NE, and with the type of fire that I wish our current players had, he just said quite dramatically that the Patriots would beat Baltimore, causing enough of a tiff for them to say "Rodney I need to talk to you" and them cutting to commercial.
