Some fans pretend like they're actually on the team.

If Spikes is out, who takes his place?

There's always Nink too if we need him. With Beauharnais, that's still fairly good depth.

Correct me if I am wrong, but he's a FA right? if so, we've seen the last of him IMO.

yes but this will not help his value. better chance to keep him now. So there's that.

We lost half out expected starting defensive players this year, no biggie

I assume he's being IR'd due to embarrassment, right?

You have to believe man. I remember Willie was talking about, It is the no name guys that show up and make that big play(s) that help we games and championships.

We have to believe. We still have Brady and BB.

I'll say this much. I've never really felt we were underdogs like I do right now since Brady's first Superbowl season. We are legitimate underdogs.

I just hope I don't hear any of those "special fans" lose their **** and start saying bad things about our coach, QB or team if things don't go their way or I'm not going to be able to handle posting on this forum on gameday. I can't take that type of stupidity, when you consider what this team is dealing with.

Horrible for the running game not so much for the passing game. Next man up.

The good news is that the Pats are shoo-ins for the IR bowl trophy! Who can possibly compete against a lineup like Gronkowski, Wilfork, Mayo, Vollmer, Kelly and Spikes, with Boyce, Armstead, Wilson & co. coming off the bench? Quality AND quantity!

All it means is more hightower and collins. I feel confident with hightower as a run stopper

Go, team! :frusty:

Any good down hill linebackers available that could potentially step in a small role? Rolando McLain? BB likes Alabama players and I think he is good friends with Hightower

Underdogs may help with our motivation.

Spikes has been playing so far below 100% for a while now that I'm not too worried. I just don't think there's much dropoff between Spikes at 60% (or whatever he was) and the next man up.
