You got it Steve.
Glad someone else can see it.

Everyone can see it. His Protuberance The High Priest of the Cult of Verticality and the cult members just can't fully grasp it.

 

[Sect140]

Agreed here. On Campbell I'm not anticipating him being back any time soon.. even though not a acl it's still a ligament tear. Spillane could probably have played but being a veteran Vrabel likely felt it's best to have both he and milt getting as much rest as needed.

Today Vrabel said he expects Campbell to practice this week, it should be an interesting week leading up to Sunday.

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

Everyone should see value in the 5 seed who has a shot at it.
Steelers/Ravens winner is essentially a bye week.

Agree on the Steelers. They are frauds like every year this past decade.
Balt, not sure. Lamar has historically been terrible in the playoffs, but not sure LA or Buff wants to go there and get 4 quarters of Henry.
Despite what we think here, lots of folks still doubting the Pats.
There will be some coaches that would rather play us in Foxboro than at Balt. Add in the fact that both teams have star QBs that are banged up. Could very well be that McD and Harbaugh think giving those guys a week off is more valuable than controlling if they play us or the Ravens.

The Cult of Verticality (Living Colour)

And during the few moments that we have left
We want to talk right down to earth
In a game plan that everybody here can easily understand
Look in my eyes
What do you see?
The cult of verticality
I know your hunger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
Oh, I'm the cult of verticality
Like Harrison and Calvin
I'm the cult of verticality
The cult of verticality
The cult of verticality
Neon lights, a TD prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to cover me
'Cause you can't keep up with me
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
Oh, I'm the cult of verticality
I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you, one of me is super godly
Oh, I'm the cult of verticality
Like Jerry Rice and Randy
I'm the cult of verticality
The cult of verticality
The cult of verticality
Neon lights, a TD prize
When a receiver speaks, a baby cries
Neon lights, a TD prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to cover me
'Cause you can't keep up with me
Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune, you gave me fame
You gave me power in a monied name
I'm every person you need to be
Oh, I'm the cult of verticality
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of verticality
Ask not what your team can do for you
The only thing we have to fear is Cap hits*

Agreed Steve.. would be great to get him back.. Lowe has been good in his absence..but we need our best players out there to win in the playoffs.

 

[maust]

The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself

...and the cap hits

Whether we do it with a 1500 yard WR or spread it around, why does it matter?

because putting all your eggs in one basket is a risk.

1500 yard WR gets hurt and where are you? Or gets shut down, where are you?

Spread it around, have two of your top WRs out, look to an inexperienced UDFA rookie, still score 42 (even if it’s just against the Jetes).

 

[Steve102]

Nah. They got this.
Give me Josh Allen on one leg. Should be enjoyable.

Herbert with one arm, Allen with one leg... go to mile high. Works for me.

Sadly as I read this my mind put these lyrics in the song.....uggghhhhhh

 

[Huckleberry1]

I want Maye's job to be as easy as possible remember Brady to Gronk?? I want Maye to more than a JAG. A.J. Brown might be available in the off-season he's a lot younger than S Diggs who I love.

AJ Brown was unhappy about touches on a championship team. I don't want a guy who is more concerned with being " The Guy" than he is with winning championships. Maye doesn't need divas who can't handle being part of the team,

Yes, exactly what I said if you read my posts in this thread.

We hear doubt from fans of other teams, whistling as they walk through the graveyard at midnight.
We hear doubt from talking heads and experts who make their living by selling the narratives they’re spinning, who know 31 fan bases prefer to buy Patriots disrespect.

We don’t hear working NFL coaches saying they doubt the Patriots.

Remember the old locker room signage. Ignore the hype!

Huck I'll sit A.J. down personally he's reasonable.

Of course we don't hear coaches say that, and we never will.
But McD and Harbaugh could most certainly see more value in getting Allen and Herbert rest, than trying to control if they play us or the Ravens.

What do you think of the Colts Alec Pierce 6'3, 211 consecutive over 800yds seasons. He came out that year we drafted Tyquan. Need some other young buck to go along with Kyle Williams and the Chis.

I honestly don't know enough about him, is he a free agent in 26' I never had a problem with Brown until he started complaining about touches while they were winning. And I would relent on my stance on him if Vrabel thought he could get him to out team first.

Harbaugh is a worse version of Tomlin. He should be fired but won’t be

 

[PatsfanTN]

They're going to need an entire Statie detail to keep him off the field next week.

I was going say just this

I think he is I'll check.
