Bruschi a game-time decision?

[drew4008]

Says ABC on the Pre-game show... I was under the impression he was good to go. Anybody know?

 

[PATSNUTme]

Yes, a man called BB.

He,Tedy, is probably just going to see how it is during pregame warmup's. The one thing about the cold weather is that is harder to get a pulled muscle loose.

I have 66% confidence that Monty will play well if needed.

 

[oldrover]

66% confidence? LOL

I've said before, I don't think Bruschi will be able to go today. I HOPE he will.

 

[BradyisGod]

Does BB see something on the Jags and know he doesn't need Bruschi, so he can rest?

Doubt it, but it would be very mysterious.

 

[Pujo]

Bruschi plays. Belichick says he's gametime, but he knows he's playing.

 

[T-ShirtDynasty]

We win easily with Bruschi, but we can win with Beisel.

 

[Bill's Girl]

I thought they had said on the NFL Countdown show at 11am that he WAS playing??

I think he plays!

When it comes to game time decisions more than likely the player will play and Tedy will play. It's playoff time and it's timee for everyone to step up and do their jobs. Tedy he may not be at 100% but he can and should make a differance.

 

[PATSNUTme]

After much tought and consideration, I made the decission- he's playing.

Oh wait, it's not game time- I'll get back to you later.

As the astounding shirtsleeve has faithfully reported for the last two days...Bruschi plays! His injury is not as serious as rumored. Its a bit of a sprain and a bruise. He coulda played last week.

This just in:Diet Pepsi machine is questionable with a pulled coin return.

Yes, he makes a difference. His defensive play calls and predicting run vs. pass, that we've heard about, are key, even if he's a bit hobbled.

NOOOOOOOO0000ooooooo......

 

[sieglo]

Every Patriot is a game time decision. Just ask Bethel Johnson.

 

[PATSNUTme]

just announced Tedy will start.

NOOOOOOOO0000ooooooo......

Thanks SS. Glad someone liked the joke.

Mmm... crow.

just announced Tedy will start.

And yet he didn't play. Setback? Something to worry about with Indy or Denver looming?

I doubt it. He was warming up in front of the S&C coach which suggests he was close. More often than not when they do that, they seem to not play - that's my impression anyway. But he was obviously close, the extra week should do him good. I was encouraged with how good the run defense was without him.
