To the throng of posters who will apparently believe pretty much anything:
DOUG GABRIEL IS NOT IN THE DOGHOUSE BECAUSE OF ONE FUMBLE.
I genuinely hate to be a jerk about this, but I can't take it anymore. HISTORY and LOGIC dictate that there is literally NO WAY that the reason DG has seen almost no action since the jet game is due simply to his fumbling the ball. Call it the "Kevin Faulk Clause" or the "Corey Dillon Corollary," call it whatever you want, just - for the love of God - stop posting that he is "in the doghouse" because, and ONLY because, of that single miscue. It is clogging the board with absurdity and simplicity to do so. Faulk would never see the field if merely fumbling once (or twice or three times) brought with it a benching.
I don't know what the whole story is. We may never know what the whole story is. But reflection for all of two seconds, and the possession of even half the necessary brain cells to function, tell us that there is more to Belichick's latest personnel quirk. So while it may be frustrating that we DON'T know, it's preferable to be patient, in my view, than to downshift to the lazy thinking that encourages ridiculous conjecture which is based on nothing and worth even less.
Carry on.
