No Talib isn't out.

Patriots have two healthy receivers in LaFell and Harper, and a nicked up one in Martin. Look for a lot of TEs and White to see targets.

NE should get a few, but it isn't because Brock is Frankenstein's monster, it's because he's been coached to not make any stupid throws. First read, second read, eat turf.

Clearly he isn't being instructed by Peyton.

"Nicked up"? If he plays, he's healthy. Players who come off an injury aren't necessarily limited by said injury upon return.

well, we don't have to win this game but if we do hello number 1 seed!

I think what he might be referring to is that he has been limited in practice--including this week--because of a hamstring injury. Not sure why you would say "if he plays he's healthy". NFL players take the field every week with injuries of varying degrees.

As far as I'm concerned, it's good news that Amendola's out. I was rooting for that.

Putting him out there would appreciably imperil our Championship Chances.

He could easily exacerbate that Injury and be lost for the rest of the Year.

I still expect to win, but I always put the Season before one Game.

I know I've been spoiled and all by the last 15 Years, but I simply cannot find it in me to get worried.

One gets the impression that if all you gave the War Council of Mad Bill, Coach McDaniels, and Tom Brady an handful of Skittles and a rolled up NewsPaper, they'd still find a way to manufacture 30 Points.

Talib is possibly out? Where is this coming from, and what's the reason?

He got hurt playing against the undefeated 10-1 Panthers.

I don't see a loss. A tough game maybe but not a loss.

Pats D + Pats O > Donks D + Donks O

O line will not be as bad as last week. Gronk/Lafell/Harper/white etc...will provide enough offense to pull out a win.

Frustrating to say the least !

Limited in practice doesn't mean limited in the upcoming game, that's all I'm saying.

Seriously lafell needs to step up. He needs to put up over 100 yards receiving. Defense has to create a short field.

His hamstring's not 100%. Therefore, he's "nicked up".

Oy - buckle up boys. It's going to be a rough ride...

Don't know where the Talib not starting came from. He'll play Per the Donk's website.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --

DeMarcus Ware, Evan Mathis and Peyton Manning were the only three Broncos who didn't practice as they continued their preparations for the Patriots on Thanksgiving morning inside the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse.

Aqib Talib will miss the Patriots game Sunday night because he'll be binge watching Panthers' games on his DVR to find out how they got to 10-1.

Harper on Talib (LCB) and Lafell on Harris (RCB) is the best way to attack the Broncos IMO. Lafell had success vs. Harris last year and Talib's weakness is small route runner WRs.

Its upto denver to matchup their CBs on our WRs, not the other way around ?

Might keshawn martin be active?

Crossing routes/play action and other ways. The Pats are creative. If the line holds up I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Harper is pretty quick so with a couple weeks of full practice will have a much better grasp on where and when to be.

hope youre right viper.
full healthy, we'd defeat denver easily.
