If the Pats ended up facing the Steelers, they would have been really depleted

Well,at least we won't have to hear that we went on to be a team that was missing half its starters like it would have been if we had beaten Pittsburgh.

But we will get, if the Pats had to play Pittsburgh instead of Denver, they would have gotten killed.

As long as the press explaining why NE won, I don't care what they say. I just don't want to hear why Denver won.

Denver will get punished.

They were depleted well before that game with Roethlisberger's gimpy ankle and Mendenhall and Pouncey's various injuries. I just hope that Denver's O-Line doesn't do that to our defensive line. Hopefully the referees will be keeping their eyes out for that sort of play.

Are you suggesting that the Donkeys are up to their old Alex Gibbs-inspired dirty tricks again?

Looks like Hampton and Keisel have potentially career ending injuries (not that the injuries are really career ending, but at their ages it probably is). Hampton may have an ACL tear. Keisel has a sever groin injury that may need surgery. Also, Max Stark might have an ACL tear.


Tomlin: Keisel, Hampton and Starks candidates for surgery

With them eliminated we now have a much easier Road to the Super Bowl. I hate to think of what their WR's would have done to our Secondary.:scared:
