Let's go patriots! Would like to see 3 Gronk tds

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

with it being that cold....healthy dose of gray blount and vereen out of the backfield for passes. Stop lacy and we win

 

[farn]

Will be interesting to see RUN vs PASS split... a feeling both teams will run to keep the opponent's QB on sideline. We'll see if either front can shut that down.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

lets see how bad this field is compared to KC...hopefully not as bad but it won't be pretty

 

[Mack Herron]

About half an hour until we find out if Dobson is active.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

and we need to stop the penalties on D. Pats almost lead the league in D penalties. Give rodgers 1st downs and he will make you pay

Almost every punt return by us..i expect a penalty for block in the back..it's bad

For the record, this not the first time Rogers and Brady have played against each other. Rodgers took over for Favre late 2nd Qtr on 11-19-06 at Lambeau after a Banta-Cain/Bruschi sack knocked him out with GB trailing 21-0 with 1:41 left in the 1st half.

Rodgers went 4-12 for 32 yds the rest of way with no TD's or picks. He went 6-15 for 46 yds. for the entire 2006 season.

Brady is warming up with a harness being held by Harold Nash. This is new.


No, it's NOT new, Jeff Howe.

I remember clearly seeing Brady out very early before the first preseason game at FEDEX Field this August doing exactly this. It was like he was on a long leash and being pulled by the trainer. while he made sharp lateral moves and runs. No one was working as hard as he was before the game - - a game in which he wasn't going to play anyway.

I was incredibly impressed - - he was putting himself through the ringing and working that harness hard.

His increased pocket mobility this year is no surprise given what his regiment was from the get go this year.

per Reiss: "Emergency snapper Rob Ninkovic on the field doing a little snapping with punter Ryan Allen."

Hoping Aiken can go and this is just for an emergency!!!

Pretty extensive workout for emergency snapper Rob Ninkovich with punter Ryan Allen. Makes one wonder if snapper Danny Aiken isn't ready.

Okay, no punting, no field goals.
