I Think Mayo's Coming Back [subtitle: Jamie Ate All the Cupcakes]

His unbelievably cute child sure doesn't look like she expects to leave the Patriot family.

I think Collins is really shy so they're picking on him.

Incredibly cute kid!. Hope her dad comes back 100%.

Is Collins new nickname Cupcake??

shes cute

It's amazing how funny and comfortsble before the camera so many Pats are. Maybe it's the youtube age. I remember so many awful media events, like the stupid Chicago Bears dance in 85.

This didn't last this long because it was good.

She is adorable! If you watch the whole Vince Wilfork episode it's hilarious! First off she calls him"Uncle Vince", which just goes to show you how close these guys really are. but the best part is at the end when Vince has for help to get out of that chair!

mayo has had some tough luck with injuries these last two years. could you imagine this defense with him? Hopefully he comes back. I would hate to see both he and Vince leave, especially at the same time. That would leave a serious leadership void with the defense.

I ran into Jerod on Christmas eve. He said, apparently he's not the only person shopping at the last minute. Said he felt great.

I ignored the part in parentheses and became instantly erect, forgetting he was on IR for a second (it's early), then became disappointed. Such is life.

Awesome shirt he's wearing.

We've played better defense without him

Post hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy

Thanks, I didn't know there was a series. Saw the one with Slater which wasn't as good as Vince, naturally.

Mayo looking a bit pale.

Cause does not always mean correlation. Doubtful the defense is worse with Mayo. That's like saying we've played better offense without Brady when Cassel tore up the Fish and the Cardinals.

If you reverse those, I'd agree.

But We didn't play better offense with cassell. With Brady we were the goat offense, with cassell we were simply good. And that's with a historically soft schedule in 08

Since you don't have twilight zone (or It's a Wonderful Life) abilities to see how a team would have played with a player in a different part of the season, with different team mates, opponents and other different variables, you simply don't know what you are talking about.

Football isn't played on paper, nor do the results follow some hypothetical result based on perceived abilities.

If we took the 2001 season and a team of hypothetical twilight zone experts, the consensus would be struggling to make theplayofss, or a reach to play 500 once the starting QB was lost.

Yes, our two linebackers played well, but the main reason, IMO, is the secondary led by Revis and Browner started to come into it'a own, after Browner's suspension and the secondary getting comfortable.

To say the late season linebacking corps would be worse with Mayo,instead of Skinner, Casillas or Ayers is absurd on the face of it on a board full of knowledgeable Patriots fans.
