Collins questionable

Is Dane Fletcher available?

Unless he is 100% I'd absolutely sit him. If there was ever a game to sit him, this is the one. Washington just lost one of their best defensive players to illness (Knighton - migraines). Besides I really would like to see just what we have backing these guys up in Bostic, Mayo, and Freeny. It would certainly be step down from Collins, but just how much of step down from a illness depleted player? Lets see. I shouldn't cost us a W.

The ONLY reason to play Collins this week is if you have money on the Pats to cover, or have the Pats D in a daily FF league. OTOH if you have the over, over you hope he sits. See how betting effects how you view the game, It's getting sick.

Here's hoping the kicks in by game time.

This is almost like a bye week. We'll be sitting a lot of players, and still win comfortably.

...and beating the Billsby the exact same score the last game of the season.

Probably just a case of bad poopies....

I still can't believe how perfectly that worked out.

Lets not get too ****y now. If Collins can play, he should play. This isnt a bye week. We have to play the game in order to win.

I'm not sitting anyone who doesn't have an injury of an 'orthopedic' nature or neurological one (concussion). Something like bad poopies should be taken care of with meds. This is not pee-wee league. And unless/until we have a comfortable margin lead, they have to play. I'm not overlooking anyone. Despite all the bull5hit we have read in the media this week, I'm sure the Skins' players themselves would want nothing more than proving everyone wrong. They are pros.

I think the Pats will win handily, but sometimes crap happens in the NFL when you least expect it.. can never take any win for granted in this league..

Word. On any given Sunday, et al.

Just hoping it's a minor illness...I've heard "illness" a few times this year and the guy disappears for a month.

Yes. So make sure people to be ready to type your disappointment and how bad the secondary sucks when the Pats give up a 3rd down or Redskins make a reception.

Report is he won't play today.

Something doesn't add up here.

In what way? If he's violently ill that can lead to dehydration and then injury. Don't know what's so curious about that?

Yup, he's out

Besides Wendy who was hospitalized, I can't ever recall players missing games with the flu/illness They play. That's it.
