37 of the 54 Patriots players have never won a playoff game
Incredible number of players at 37 to have had no postseason success with 23 of those players having NEVER been in the playoffs before which includes the rookies.
How the team leaders and stars of the team to have won in the playoffs before help out those who haven't,may play a big role and factor in NEs quest to be on the road to Dallas in February.
Its time for Leadership and experience to stand up and shout in that locker room if these Pats are going to get where we all want them to go and to get by the elevated level of play and do or die situations that many of these guys have yet to be in.

Re: 37 of the 54 Patriots players have never won a playoff game
That is a great stat, it's not only rooks but 2nd even 3d year players. For Those few who have worn a patriots jersey and have won, this is the time to temper the excitement and emphasize doing your job. I can see Crumpler, Wilfork, Mankins and others providing leadership. Certainly, someone will need to keep close tabs on Spikes. After not playing for 4 games, he'll feel the need to prove something which can lead to being out of position and/or stupid over zealous penalties

After the past 4 games I am not so sure that an immature Spikes is ready to get back his starting role next to Mayo.
I would think its Guyton's job to mess up or at least be in rotation with Brandon - IMO Guyton has been tremendous as a replacement.

Guyton has been very impressive but he is awful against the run, and hasn't seemed to have improved much in that area. I think there's still a role for Spikes on early downs in this D when he comes back.

I'm not really that worried about the lack of playoff experience. This team has played a national spotlight game almost every week this year against top-flight opponents, and has shown no sign of wilting under pressure. Just the opposite — they thrive.

BB has said that before. They get drafted in April. They have rookie camp, mini-camp, training camp They are here in the offseason. They have 150 practices under their belt. They've had (including pre-season) 20 NFL games under their belt. They know how to play with pain. They know how to prepare. They know what their coaches expect from them. They have defined roles.
No question that the have lots to learn still but not like it's the first day at work and you have a big presentation to give.
