Wonder if Gillislee even makes the roster next year. Once their playoff position is set, maybe the Pats showcase him as possible trade bait. I noticed, after looking like SB champs last week, the Phins are laying down in Buffalo.

gillislee is a limited player whenever he's in, we run the ball like 90% of the time. too predictable.
he also doesnt play special teams so bolden is ahead of him

brady practiced all week so i hope his leg is feeling better. that achilles injury is no joke...

Agree.

Part of me thinks BB coaxed him to practice so he'd get quality time with Britt.

Rumor is his hand is hurt more than the achilles

Desperately need a win here thanks to the performance last week. Lose, and it’s likely the Pats get the #3 and no bye. Also likely to play Baltimore at home during Wild Card Weekend. Injuries have just killed this team. Hope to be wrong but don’t see how we beat Pitt today with the defense we are going to trot out.

Out score them?

41-27 NE.

Gronk 9 catches 156 yds 3 TDs

Britt 3 28 1td

Hard to imagine a game quite that productive, considering that he’ll be bracketed all day long, but that would be terrific. I think I’d take half of that production, although you’d have to round up the 1.5 TDs if you don’t mind.

Sometimes those are the games the Patriots shine. I remember a game vs Indy, for instance. Kicker throws for a TD. Brown plays CB. Was a wild time.

Is there any chance that Dorsett can set the edge?

Personally I'd try to extend Burkhead over keeping Gillislee around.

 

[Wrath Mania]

Not really digging the convenient sentiment all the sudden that that this game is just an exhibition for the AFC championship game. Suddenly all the arguments to rationalize the collapse at the end of 2015 are fashionable again. Not buying it. They gotta find a way to win today, or else the road to the SB might be too long for this current team to overcome.

Find a way to limit AB, let Bell run (almost have to, give the state of this front seven) but limit anything explosive. On offense I hope they're prepared for some new looks and all this talk from Brady and BB about "same ol' PIT" was just gamesmanship, cause I really can't fathom how Tomlin and Co. could talk all year about changing things up and come out with the usual zone crap. The Gronk-Dion-Cooks trio needs a good bounce back game. If it comes down to Brady to having to suddenly sync with Dorsett and Britt to win forget about it.

Heehee. Would be helpful.

Bolden is not ahead of Gillislee as RB. Bolden is a ST player and emergency RB.

Also you are describing essentially any "Hammer" RB.

Need a big game from the scrap front 7 leader . vs both Ben & Bell..

Not a Smurf.

Hope the Steelers don't look like the Phins did last week

Easier said than done...Pitt has a better D than Miami and yet look at what happened.

Freako Brady is here. Steelers are done.

Not a Smurf.

I have no idea why but for some reason I didn't think he was that big, hoping he can make a few plays today.
