    Just read on espn.com that AB's calf is not even close to 100%. They are worried about the cold weather today that may make it worse. Wow!Why were they saying how amazing he looked in practice? Was it all a smokescreen?
    Hope we can win today, but highly doubt we beat the Pats without him being in top form

    Meh. ESPN is not above creating smoke where there's no fire just to get some site traffic. I'll believe it when I see it.

    I can believe he hasn't worked out as hard or missed treatments since he has had the flu. This may have set him back some.:cool:

    The world would be a much better place, if everyone stopped listening to ESPN!

    Anyhow, I don't expect AB to be 100% until September.

    It doesn't matter if Brown has great numbers, your taking one of their elite corners out of the picture covering him and I would say with safety help. So that is two defenders covering one receiver even if he is not 100%. That's the respect you have to give the best in the game. They can work the middle of the field with JuJu, McDonald, James and Bell. Their run D is below average as well as their safeties. I don't see this as a close game. I just hope that Brown doesn't have a setback.

    bell in the passing game against they're depleted LB'er corp. that's what i'd exploit the most. mcdonald as well. jesse james too. i'd make those LB'ers chase these guys all day. :smiley1::cool:

    Very good, but if you had photoshopped an 84 onto that calf, it would have been perfect.

    I keep seeing Vance McDonald's name thrown around on this site. I don't remember him having more than a handful of catches this season (I do remember some clutch drops), stats say 14 catches, 1 TD. Did he have one of those bionic arms installed for the playoffs?

    Drag patterns, screens, check downs, shovel passes, waggles, crossing patterns, and 30 carries for Bell. That's today's recipe from Ben.

    By the way, Ben will be calling the ****ing plays. At this point it's mutiny: Nobody respects Haley, which is as it should be, and as it NEEDS to be for us to get to the Super Bowl. Ben>Haley, by a MILE when it comes to calling plays.

    I said it when we got him he’s a huge weapon. Ben is comfortable with him and he’s been improving each week. He’s an amazing blocker, can stretch the field and has been catching tough ones. Just couldn’t stay healthy this year
