The Patriots have no more "must win" games until the playoffs start.

The nightmare of Wes or Lloyd going down is unspeakable. We literally have no other primary Wide Receivers.

I think the Hernandez/Wes/Lloyd trio is the bare minimum needed to keep this offense going.

I am just not sure how these two possibilities are seen as an either or situation.

Winning does not equal injuries.
losing does not equal health.

Its not a wishing machine where you can throw off one good thing in hopes of avoiding one bad thing. Nor, by winning does it insure that something bad will come from it as well. Win the game, or lose the game, the injury concern will have been no greater because of the outcome.

We all want health come the playoffs, but outside of not playing or practicing between now and the superbowl, there are no foolproof ways to guarantee it.

The OL has to play LIGHTS OUT so that brady has the allotted time to carve up the Niners defense.

This game IMO will let us know if the patriots are ready to win the superbowl.

Every games a must win son

Word (10 char).

The next "must win" game is the AFC wildcard round, or in case we gather enough "nice to win" games the AFC divisional round.

And even for the Quest for the Bye, this weeks game is the most unimportant of them all, because it would be an "Out of Conference" Loss.

Texans will lose at least 1 more so to get the 1 they will win this game against the 9ers

This is another "Statement" game aired on National TV...Just as in the last game, I have this gut feeling that This team is amped up more for this one than the Texans and they will come out and totally dominate this team. Most of all BRADY wants this game more than anything other than playoff wins! This is his hometown, childhood rooting team that bypassed him in the draft and he personally has something to prove.
Now let's once again factor in the weather..sleet, snow, freezing rain..is their QB ready to deal with this?....I know Brady is.....Boulden is back.....Ridley and Vereen are running well...O line is playing well blocking and protecting...The D is coming around especially in the secondary and hopefully Kalib is ok..and most of all...the number one overall seed is quite attainable....I'd worry more about the last 2 games of the season more than this one....38-21 Pats...and it ain't even that close folks
