@LeeSchechter: Walking into Gillette now and seeing a lot of Jimmy Garoppolo jerseys. Lots of fan support for Jimmy G who should see lots of work today.
I'm really interested in seeing the young guys today.
Boyce, Butler, Silliga, White, Jimmy G.
I want to see them put forth a strong effort against a food Buffalo team and audition their worth to this roster.
I want to see Jimmy G look like Tom Brady his second season in the San Diego game that would be great for the franchise to have that guy.

I hope that happens. But it will only happen if the Brady lead offense looks sharp and puts some points up early. That is my take from everything I've been hearing from the Patriots camp this week. But I've stopped trying to out think BB a long time ago.
As much as I'd like to see Edelman & LaFell go over 1000 yards (both possible today, needing 28 and 117 yards respectively) to give Brady 3 1000 yard receivers, I don't want either of them as well as Brady or Gronk to actually play a snap today.
Final score means nothing, just get the key players into the playoffs.
I want to see some production out of the first offensive unit before going into the playoffs. I think if they go in to the bye looking they way the did against the jets it will show in the first game of the playoffs.
And I still would like to see a win. Time to play football.
Really the moral of this game is don't gets hurt. I still want to win but win or lose we are still the first seed and we need to be healthy for the playoffs. So no big injuries today and I will be happy it would just be icing on the cake if we won too.
