Default A rather absurd injury list

Mankins doubtful; 16 Patriots questionable - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

Unless I missed somebody, the top 6 receivers on the team (by depth chart) are all on the injury report, by which I mean 2 TEs (including Hernandez) and 4 WRs.

Similarly the LBs.

The OL, of course, is pretty banged up as well.

At least Brady at some point took his shoulder to Lourdes ...

I will wait until the Pats add Albert Camus to the injury list before I go as far as to call it absurd....can you spot the absurdity within this post?

What's weird to me is that out of all of these injuries, the only players of note to end up on IR are Dowling and Fletcher. You'd think there'd be a few more season-enders in there.

Any post that can use Albert Camus within it is absurdly good....

It's really hilarious comparing those two injury reports side to side. Just a completely different treatment of the concept.

Doesn't questionable mean they have a 50-50 chance of playing on game day, Probably is 75% or 90% chance to play.

Then again, if they are limited in practice, even if it is a coaching decision, you'd have to think questionable is the right call.

I'm sure BB is following the letter of the law .

The continued mindf..ck of BB to the NFL continues, and they do not even know it..

Just like wearing cut off "official" nike(formerly adidas) sweatshirts, playing with the press, these are the absurd rules... so the answer is honor the rules by exaggeration...

And when Salvador Dali gets added it will be surreal.

Maybe they can exhume Federico Fellini to present the next injury report on "Patriots All Access."

Crazy like a fox, as usual. The league has begun cracking down on teams who fail to list players with significant injury whose egos often have a need to share their predicament with the media. Bill has no intention of being "shmucked" by the shirts ever again. At least not where adhering to the letter of the law simply muddies the waters competitively. He keeps his options open, particularly on offense where they are multiple to begin with. Has to give opponents fits and exacerbate their game planning and practice.
