really? week 13 and they're testing slater for the first time for the playoffs?
that's just stupid
They gave Slater a chance to play. Why do you have such a problem accepting that?
You do realize that Slater has played S with the scout team in practice, and may have earned himself an opportunity at a position that lacks depth and quality right?
I guess we can conclude that the pats are done testing guys like brace and cunningham? why are they even here?
They are here because they have roles.
the fact that you even need to make reasons is proof enough tat at least part of you believes the same, but you're hoping like hell that what you insist is true.
So when someone gives a reason to support their point, that simply means they are hoping what they believe is true?
the fact remains that this defense with random starters really is no worse or better than the defense that was playing in the first couple of weeks of the season.
This is just silly.
The defense has improved dramatically throughout the season. Apparently you have some butthurt over not having good statistical rankings, but the game was over at 31-3 and that was equally due to the offense and defense, just as the defense contributed significantly to beating the Jets twice, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, raiders, Chargers. Thats 8 wins that the defense made overall positive contributions too, and the 9th was allowing 17 points to Miami until the game was clinched. I'm sorry if you don't like that the team has a philosophy of preserving leads without regard to allowing yardage, because you could be so much more proud of them if they had better rankings.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have a 7th ranked defense that only allowed 13 more points like the Jets. Maybe we could be 7-5 like them too, and then we have big leads we wouldn't have to let up all those meaningless yards, and save them for letting teams score on us when the game is close and we lose.
