.... all I'm hearing from the national media is about the Colts injuries coming into this game. Yet I haven't heard a single thought, even from the local guys, about the fact that 2/5th of our starting OL is likely to be out this week...against the best pass rush we will see all season. AND that the 2 guys replacing them are a rookie LT starting his 3rd game and a former practice squader who will be starting his first game EVER in the NFL. Nor have I heard much nationally about the fact we have gone 3 weeks without half our RB corps, or the other sundry injuries we've had (like Green, Edelman, Wheately, etc)
Granted the Colts HAVE been hit hard, but over the years when the Pats have had similar big hits, it was rarely mentioned as a possible reason for a loss. To the Colts credit they don't seem to using it, but their sycophants in the media certainly have.
BTW- anyone else worried about Volmer and Connolly having to start this game. I'd be a lot less worried if it was a home game, but it isn't.
