This coming from the guy with "no class"

Deus Irae

What's funny about the whole "boo" thing is that I'm not one to boo. I just find it amusing that someone thinks booing never helps, is always childish, and is something that no player acknowledges as being anything but ignorance on the part of the fans, but cheering is a-ok.

Yeah it's truly amusing

Well, I am not the one to ask about what is going to happen with the Buffalo game because I (a) posted a thread on this board saying no way the Miami game was a trap game, with the Pats at home and playing for #1 seed, so of course they were getting whipped at halftime, and (b) sometimes boo the team and that makes me ignorant and childish and god-knows-what-else...

but, since you asked, I can't see Brady not playing, unless and until the game is safely decided one way or another. I have to believe BB is going to keep his foot on the gas for this one, and I have to think the players feel the same way after that loss to Buffalo earlier in the year.
I would like to see a little more of either BJGE, or, Ridley. I love BJGE but he seems to either be hurt and/or fallen out of favor. But Ridley had some nice, tough runs against Miami...not breakaways but he gained some tough yardage.

Brady's arm was dangling at his side after that run in Miami. If it's still hurting that bad, there is no way that Brady should go. Sure, the #1 seed would be nice, but not at further cost to the one guy that could potentially fuel a deep playoff run if healthy, and a quick exit if not. Hoyer is a dependable back-up from what we've seen. Let him run the offense and get the running game going.

If TB is hurt, then yes, I agree, but if he is healthy, he will play.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I wouldn't mind about three quarters or more of rest for Tom, Wes, Gronk, Light, Law Firm, Hernandez, Wilfork, Mayo, and anyone else who is banged up to the point that it hurts their play.

Mankins, Vollmer, and Spikes seem a given for the inactive list and I would add to it from frontline players who could use the break.

I want to win, sure, but any personal stats are irrelevant and "momentum" is overrated IMO. Being as close to 100% healthy two weeks from this weekend should be the goal.

I don't know about cheering per se, but yelling loudly while the opponent has the ball sometimes helps. Booing doesn't.

As for Buffalo: they have some fresh injuries of their own on the offensive line which might help our cause defensively. I expect Buffalo will play hard and make a four-quarter game of it. I just hope the Pats put a little more emphasis on running the ball to take some pressure off Brady.

Well, we don't know much, but here are a few things I think we know:

1. BB would prefer to play the AFC Championship game at home (despite the obnoxious fans).

2. Brady was unable to put on his own shirt after the game Sun.

3. Hoyer is taking the snaps in practice today.

Brady not at practice. BOOOOOOO! That is a bummer. Hopefully just a vet's day off but I'm afraid I doubt that.

Maybe we should be getting ready for the Hoyer/Ridley Show.

PS - I bet he starts the game then maybe sits for most of it.
