Remarkable Turnabout: Patriots Enter as Healthiest Team in the Playoffs

[Uncle Rico]

The secondary without Dowling is an upgrade.

I think if Dowling doesn't get hurt, the Pats don't get Talib. Either way, my sense from Reiss — who has been wrong on these things before ("Taylor price's breakout week") — is that the Pats are fairly high on Dowling.

Anyway --gang's all there again today.

Thursday practice report: All present - Extra Points - Boston.com

Looking forward to seeing the report; sure it'll shed a lot more light ....

Well ain't THIS a "Man Bites Dog" story!

In rarity, Pats have all starters intact - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

"Consider this: All 22 of the Patriots' Week 1 starters remain on the active roster, which leaves them as the only team of the eight remaining playoff clubs that can say that......(An examination of old game books suggests that 2012 is the first playoff run the Patriots have had under Bill Belichick since the 2001 season that all 22 Week 1 starters remain on the active roster)......"

Kiddo, you keep playing the exact same note.

Advice: Stop cutting the Prozac prescription.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ban you from the gameday thread this Sunday. There are too many complaints about you.

Yes, because someone posted something on an internet forum means Tom Brady's knee will suddenly explode on the first play from scrimmage Sunday.

What's the over/under on games Dowling will play before his rookie contract expires?

From Twitter:

Mike Reiss ?@MikeReiss
Aqib Talib on injured hip: "I definitely feel good. I’m still going to treatment every day, trying to get better, but my body feels good.”


Reading between the lines, sounds like the hip is still going to be an issue, but he's pushing through.

Thanks to Schmessy, Rico, and whoever else has posted updates on injuries.

We certainly seem to be in great shape health wise! :rocker:

Edelman was never really a starter, he was an experiment.

No he was a reserve that happened to be on the field for the 1st play of a couple of games.
