Who the heck is Klein?

I think three WR sets will get Brady killed, they can't seem to get separation. We need more 2 TE. Sets with wright and gronk.

Kline played really well relieving Mankins at LG last year when he was injured.

 

[obgod3]

Ok thanks, cool, didn't recognize the name

This is the best possible line up they could have today given the loss of Stork.

yep i agree...lets hope it works

 

[BelichicksHoodie]

Brady is very questionable, Garrapolo might be the starter.

Lol, what?

 

[dales804]

Lol, what?

Seriously. http://m.espn.go.com/general/video?vid=11687969

As noted in another thread, this might be the best game for him to miss. The bills line their tackles over or outside the guards with the De's out wide. So no one over center. This can be helpful as wendell is a shifty guy and can help double team.

That was straight from another poster, so we could still do enough to protect Tom for a W

As long as the Bills don't run any twists or stunts.. If they do, then Wendell will get Brady killed because he always commits to early when he's at center..

With both Fleming and Stork out, that means Devey and Kline will be dressed.. Wonder which one starts...

That pic of Brady stretching reminds me of Its always sunny in Philadelphia and Dennis is doing a split in short-shorts.

Tyms making his debut. I'm very intrigued with him.

Here's the five things I'll be watching for early:

1) Offensive line. With a gimpy Brady and a shuffled line (AGAIN), how does the run or pass work today? Do we see the offense we saw last week despite Stork being inactive, or do we see something that more resembles the offense of the first four weeks?

2) Brady

3) How does McDaniels choose to attach this D early?

4) Can we force Orton to make quick decisions? Sacks don't necessarily matter, especially with a guy like Orton. You simply want to force him to make quick decisions and hopefully he'll throw a few picks.

5) Do we see the same fire we saw against Cinci?

These storylines may change as the game progresses, but they're definitely what I'll be watching in the early moments of the game.

[QUOTEb0729, post: 3941073, member: 5845"]Yes, Brady looks like he can barely stand right here:

Brady getting ready to fart...

Weather report says no precipitation and no wind! This has the makings of a shootout . . . assuming the Patriots offense isn't stalled by a bad O-Line.

 

[PatsBoy12]

I don't have a good feeling about this game.

They badly need Stork in there.

I've been a bit nervous about this one all week, but I'm still going to go into this one more positive than negative. This is a team that knows it must build on last week. With that tough stretch coming up soon, can't let too many of these seemingly winnable games get away.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Josh Kline at RG today. It is about time.

I'm still wondering why this didn't come earlier?

Edelman and Amendola are back taking punt returns. Chung back taking kick returns.

Kicker Stephen Gostkowski finishes his warmup, extending his long attempt to 55 yards. He had the necessary distance, as one would expect.

Brady's plant foot is the affected one, fyi

Lets go New England lets turn Buffalo into Buffalo Wings

 

[JayNM]

I'm trully optimistic that we'll keep the momentum from last game and worries me

Thank you!

Spikes looks like he's ready to run through a brick wall here during warmups. He better save some of this energy for the game

pre-game radio show that Ryan Wendell will, in fact, start at center today, not Dan Connolly
