Hoping we continue our improved D play today. Would be really nice to go into our bye week at 6-2. Looking for a win and of course, no injuries. Weather could play a factor today as well!!!!!

Let's discuss!!!!!

Go Pats!!!!!

Revived my “Is Gilmore on ice?” thread

only 3CBs, 3DLs .. plenty of food for pessimists before kickoff

hopefully roster spots gamble doesn't backfire in a game..

Dwayne Allen is awesome.

Very surprised Gilmore isn't suiting up. This (if it IS the case) would be the biggest "we play the best players" BB has exercised in quite some time.

not really

Wasn't he listed questionable with an ankle/concussion all week? Maybe he isn't cleared for contact yet. Maybe his ankle is in bad shape. Maybe they don't think that they need to risk further injury this week. Bye is next week -- give him another two weeks to heal up for the post-bye run. Best not to jump to conclusions.

Elandon Roberts is back in the lineup after missing the Falcons game with an ankle injury.

I'd like to see more of Harris than Roberts this week

Maybe they IR High after this game?

Gilmore really is having a rough start with this team...

I wish Roberts played with more control. Only way he can lay the lumber with his size is to kamakazi his way into a hole

Reilly active over Grissom.

It is interesting, intriguing even that they are keeping inactive Grissom on the roster over depth at CB, DL.

Slight problem with this narrative is the guy was coming off his best game while holding Mike Evans to one of the worst games of his career.

But ya you're probably right, it's definitely not them taking a cautious approach with a guy coming off a concussion and the bye next week.

the worst thing about Hightower being out for the year is ****ing Roberts will be playing a lot. he has the awareness of a potato

Which is why I put “if it is”...

I hope the concussion recovery is in fact the main reason. I don’t think we know for sure. But, with a bye coming up - we’ll know on NOV 12.

Potato has quite good awareness. You should grow one and learn.
Your post has none.

His best game where they basically told him to follow Evans only and not pay attention to anything else. I don't think that is what BB thought he was getting.
I can't believe people argued that he was the cause of communication break downs. It was so obvious to see.
