Which is why I'd love the McCourty match-up, but you're right, that won't happen.

Though I wonder if Butler would be more effective on the left side. I believe that's where he played all of last season with Bodden on the right side.

It looks like one but I would be more worried if the opposing QB was Stafford

Koppen will have his hands full with Suh who looks like the next Ngata if you want to compare him early with someone.

The Lions aren't traveling to the game they are at home.

"Toasted" is a bit of an exaggeration. He had pretty good coverage on perfect throw from HOF QB to HOF WR. Reminded me of TD from last year to win game. No shame in just admitting other team makes a play.

It was a good throw, but he got beat. He also set up that play with his horrible attempt of a strip and not tackling giving the Colts an extra 30 yards. He didnt play that great today. Some of that does has to do with the guy he was on mot of the game in Wayne

This will be agood game but the pats will play better and win. 24-17. If the D plays like it did against the Steelers, then its a blowout.
