On To Houston: Playoff Practice/Info Thread

[The Gr8est]

Wasn't it reported fairly recently that some sort of bug was making it through the locker room?

Hope that is a thing of the past as the Pats have had a few instances of this kind of thing hitting them in the playoffs.

Blount is a HUGE part of this offense. glad to see he was back at the facility today. I couldn't see anything short of the plague keeping him from suiting up tomorrow night.

Pretty amazing how healthy we this time as a whole. Even compared to Houston, injuries always seem to bite us in the ass.

My greatest fear, ever since the Fever Fiasco in Indy when everyone was sick and the Colts cranked up the stadium heat.

Huzzah!

I feel like a **** for thinking this, but Mitchell being out is kind of exciting because that means we definitely see Floyd.

When was the last time NE had only one player on the injury report this late in the season??

The new strength program, with some help from Lady Luck, is churning out some pleasant results this season.

Shhhh. Quiet. No jinxes!

If you wanna be generous it's maybe a 5:95 split between the strength program and luck. Most of our injuries last year were things that no program in the world can prevent. Fingers crossed that it stays like that until the SB..

Even though it's IR, IR players should be counted on injury reports.

For instance, one could have 4 of 5 main players on IR, and yet have a "healthy" team.

With Gronk out that's a major hit to the "health". Same for Seattle and GB with Thomas and Nelson respectively.

Mitchell is out?

Mitchell is out?

He's questionable, but many think that as the only unhealthy receiver and with his limited practice participation, that he'll be inactive.

 

[Mack Herron]

Mitchell is out?

Not yet. But an injured WR5 is a long shot to make the 46. Will be a tougher call next week.

What is the status of J J Watt? What is his wattage?

Edit, just learned he was on ir, saw him running warm ups last week so i assumed he was not on ir!

 

[fnordcircle]

Mitchell is out?

I think Lombardi said he thinks he's out and people are taking that as an indicator given how Lombardi knows our team's MO.

let's make that through the SB

That's a quick downgrade to #5 there.
Still #3 in my book.

Floyd did made a couple of good plays in his first game but its still one game.
MM had a great second part of the season, gained a lot of trust from TB.

The ? is how much the knee injury affects his play and confidence.
He did bounce back from injury greatly earlier this season.
