Inactives

No Ayers tonight. That kind of surprises me. The only explanation would be Coates is finally good with all the time off he has gotten. Ben did say earlier in the week that Sammie was coming along. That would be a huge bonus and surprise.

 

Floyd a healthy scratch for them. Now that's a head scratcher. He must have messed up bad.

 

No Green..

 

Green needs to retire at seasons end...

Cajun

 

For the Pats huge surprise that Floyd is inactive. Hogan was hobbled and he is their best deep threat so it is strange.

 

I concur.



Green cannot continue his career should his sinuses continue from his concussions.

 

Weird.... Hmmmmmm

 

Surprised Ayers is a healthy scratch

 

I had visions of Sammie being a deep threat again. I think they need that to help free up Brown/Bell.

 

So long as his HANDS are good to go, too!

 

Yep, one deep ball to Sammie early could swing this whole game and open up the whole field for Bell and AB. Here we go, Steelers!

 

Yeah it sucks but at least James is showing he can be a starter in this league. He is only like 21 maybe recently 22.

 

Coates+rust+stone hands=? Kind of scary IMO

 

He had a ball hit him in the hands and get intercepted last week.

 

Coates needs to go up and get balls and not let guys ahead of him for the easy pick.
He needs to be aggressive

 

Coates has been active, not sure why that would impact Ayer's status......

 

I'm guessing that Chickillo getting healthy is the reason. Kick coverage probably trumped the need for another WR.

 

good point...

 

We really needed Toussaint over Ayers really? Unless he was really stricken by the flu I Don't get it. I really thought Ayers and Rogers cold give them problems underneath.....maybe they plan on using Bell a whole lot in the passing game...I hope one of these is the reason,Toussaint brings nothing to the table

 

I agree, I probably would have given a hat to Chickillo at the expense of Tooussaint instead of Ayers.

 

Green isn't playing? Shocking.
