It seems that many of you agree with the media. Why bother to play the games? Just give us the rings!
IMHO, we DO have a potential issue with regard to our running game. We have Maroney and Morris injured. Why do we believe that all our running backs will be at 100% in December? It seems most unlikely.
Some here seem fine with Evans and Eckel as our runners, with Faulk. I don't know where you get your koolaid. Evans and Eckel should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Smith. He was a fine, dependable RUNNING BACK. Eckel is a wannabe who MAY good enough by December to replace Evans if he is injured. Evans is not a very good runner at all. This is NOT a knock on Evans. I wouldn't want Vrabel running the ball either.
We are NOT a one-dimensional team. That is NOT the issue. The issue is whether this team is well-equipped to grind in out in the snow. It is simply non-responsive to say that Brady will do it all. I have every confidence in our passing game. It would be good to count on our running game in the snow.
Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but I think HFA advantage means little against the colts. The Brady Bunch is MADE for dome play. It took the whole defense to have the flu for Brady to lose even ONE game in a dome. Brady has won all the rest with weak receivers. To think that Brady would prefer to play in the snow with this group is just plain silly. IMHO, we match up much better against the colts playing in Indy than in Foxboro.
mg, this is becoming a habit with you. You seem to be arguing something that NO ONE is positing. I mean, you also veer off with insanity like "IMHO, we match up much better against the colts playing in Indy than in Foxboro" - [gratuitous insults deleted] I mean, just TRULY ludicrous. Say it ain't so. Take it back.
