Flu is contagious.

Would be a shame if all the starters got sick..

 

[jdlboot14]

When's the last time the final game of the season felt this meaningless?
I know we were out of it in '20 - but we were still curious about Stidham, and testing our young playmakers.
It must be 2000 - but even then, it was building momentum in BB's first year... Or 1995?
It sure stinks. And it feels like a good time to reset the whole thing.

I wish...

I'd like to see some sort of trickeration play for Slater but considering his **** Stuart level hand-eye coordination I fear it could backfire.

 

[Jim Beankie]

As someone who'd like BB to stay, this surreptitiously placed propaganda for a regime change is working for me.

 

[The Gr8est]

I wish...

I like this possibility better.

IF this is BB’s last game, surely the football gods could see fit to grant this boon.

On a side note, it is a crime that the football, Sanchez’s helmet, and Brandon Moore’s game worn pants are not in the HOF.

As a rabid NE Pats fan who waits 7 months until the season starts watching Bowls and Combines/Pro Days and Drafts and Camps and Preseason games, none of these games feel meaningless. It's probably the decades of seemingly hopeless Red Sox fandom that served as a foundation. I mean it'd be great not to care, so I could use my little brainpower for something else, but I want to sit on Sunday and watch the Pats obliterate the Jets. If they lose? Great! Pats go to #2 or #3 pick and Jets probably go all the way to #10 to #12. It's a win win, really.

I don't want Mayo to be HC - next year.
I'd love for him to be named official DC, and see if he can continue the Defensive consistency and run a top 5 unit.
With either BOB, Harbaugh or someone else at that caliber as HC.

 

[jdlboot14]

I hope they get a catch for Slater - somehow.
Maybe not a low % bomb like last time he caught it, but a fake punt/FG, or fake 4th down conversion QB sneak where Slater is the only WR out to block. That would be great.

They haven't really run a "gadget" play all year, so it would be interesting to see them do it this weekend.
