We're on to Buffalo

I should include the fact that credit goes to @TheBostonStraggler for tracking down this info, as I don’t mean to sound like I ever knew in the first place. I was actually under the impression that we had to make a decision fairly quickly in a small window like in past years.

 
McCoy is half their offense. I'm more worried about him.

Benjamin is no big deal this year. Stop McCoy, keep Taylor in the pocket, get the ball out quick to negate the pass rush = win the game.

Buffalo and New England look almost identical in team defense stats. That works for New England. If Buffalo is giving up 23 ppg as their baseline, they'll give up another TD or more to the Patriots who stick the ball in the end zone.

Both teams give up 114 rushing ypg. The difference is the Pats come at you with three or four different backs while McCoy is the show in Buffalo - he's 4th in the NFL in attempts this year. He'll get the Marshall Faulk treatment on Sunday. Somebody is going to smack him on every play whether he touches the ball or not.

Maybe even more. He's their leading rusher and leading receiver.

I'm guessing that Andrews is finally healthy, thus making King superfluous. If so, he may essentially swap places with Grissom.
I think king need me to stay on the active roster for 3 weeks since we signed him off a practice squad.

He was signed off the street; Baltimore released him from their PS on 11/14. It's Grigsby who was signed directly off Baltimore's practice squad, and yeah, he needs to stick around a few weeks.
 
Jills have been susceptible to teams that come in looking to run it some. I know some will point the Chiefs, but they've been trending down for the last month. Smith has lost his magic touch and that has allowed to teams to focus on the run.


Would love to see something like this a few times tomorrow

Solder-Thuney-Andrews-Karras-Mason-Waddle

Karras is a road grader in the run game. Line him up on in the interior some between Andrews and Mason and just pound it up the middle

Add Gronk to one end, then put both Develin and Allen in the backfield as dual FBs along with the RB of your choice and go entirely old school?

I like it!

Thanks I was wrong
 
He's saying there's a chance.

 
Reiss is also strongly hinting at Mitchell coming back,as opposed to Valentine.
I'm good with that.

Me too, although it's weird they'd bother with Reedy for one week then - especially if Hogan will be ready by then too.
