Patriots will have to go on without their top Wide Reciever, best Running Back & starting LT

[Soul_Survivor88]

Today our team showed a lot grit, but this next stretch of games has the potential to define our season.......now we have to see if we an beat teams and can overcome injuries. So how well will this team fare?

 

[RayClay]

Everybody has injuries. Get back Vollmer and Cannon and we should have a decent line. White, Keshawn and maybe Harper need to step up in the mean time. Also, LaFell should be ready for more heavy duty as well as Scott Chandler.

We've got weapons.

Next. Man. Up.

and James Develin. Never forget James Develin.

 

[JMC00]

Knowing what kind of warrior Edelman is wouldn't surprise me to see him back before the end of the regular season.

 

[Galeb]

You forgot their starting RT and LCB.

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

Win @Denver practically guarantees a bye. That's the big thing right now. Win that game, get the bye, show up for the playoffs.

 

[JMC00]

RT

Vollmer will be back.

 

[Galeb]

Vollmer will be back.

I sure hope so.

 

[Joker]

why wouldn't Vollmer come back? Season ending concussion? Really?

 

[JMC00]

LCB.

Butler is the starting "LCB"

 

[Galeb]

Butler is the starting "LCB"

OK, RCB.

 

[Galeb]

why wouldn't Vollmer come back? Season ending concussion? Really?

Dunno, the way the season has gone, who knows.

 

[Joker]

Our staff errs on the side of caution. If he was really punchy, I have no doubt Bill would have IR'd him.

16-0 Guarantees a bye,which this team will be.

Except when they don't (see: Thomas, David, in 2007).

 

[Joker]

uh...almost 9 years ago? There has been a quantum shift in injury protocols since then and especially the last 2 years since the Pats shytcanned Thomas Gill as their medical director.

 

[Gronkowski123]

feels like 2013..players continue to get hurt.
we need some luck

With Manning banged up and having played probably the worst game of his career (passer rating of 0.0), I don't know how many more wins Denver has in them.

 

[VectorPrime]

Pretty sure we could lose in Denver and still get HFA because I think we can safely beat them record wise. They are absolutely abysmal with Manning right now, they might not win 10 games. Its keeping up with the Bengals that I'm worried about.
