Cannon's foot or toe was reported to be the problem, hopefully its a big one.I believe the Pats' left tackle got injured last night. Hopefully he's out this week. That would mean they are on their third option at lt.

Really like what the team has done so far, and am looking forward to a very competitive game on Sunday. My only hesitation in getting too optimistic is that when I was watching parts of the first half of the Skins game, I was saying to myself that Belicheck has his blueprint to beat our defense. We looked vulnerable to the quick passing game, as Cousins seemed to be exploiting our soft underbelly which is the coverage of short range passes. Maybe that was the 4-3 front that Bowles deployed, I'm not sure but it made me uncomfortable for this weeks game. To our credit, adjustments were made and perhaps we just woke up as our D pitched a shutout in the 2nd half. My big concern is that we may be without both Skrine and Williams this week, and that someone like Edelman will go off. Regardless, this should be a fun one to watch.
If we double Gronk, then Edelman will get you. He is one tough SOB out there, not afraid of contact. He just sticks his nose right in there. Our secondary will face it's biggest challenge to date. Bowles/Rodgers needs a good game plan for Sunday.
Watching NE pull away right now from Indy, I've gotta say, they are clicking on all cylinders offensively. We are gonna need the defense to step up big time on the road next week.
Huge game. Man, is it huge!
Dan, great post.
Inside me is a voice "SCREAMING" what you just posted..
My sane mind is saying, Just relax.
I'm going to listen to my sane voice for now.
Still, it was a great post

I hear ya man. I know you believe in this team as well. The sane voice is always a good route to go.... but in this one coming up, IMHO... i'am going full out and stating we're beating this team and making them our bitch for the 2015 campaign. HIGHLY OVERDUE!
Obviously by no means will this team begin to start talking BS as of the Rex era. Bowles will make sure of that. He will have them honed into the game plan. No mistakes whatsoever as the football world knows that the Pats will always capitalize on them.
Plays them smart and fearless, NOT WRECKLESS as the old regime. Also, i feel Bowles has held back ALOT of his blitzes so far the past 3 weeks. The flood gates will be open on Sunday afternoon towards Tom Brady's direction.
I also think we have held back a few things on offense like Devin Smith over the top. With the Skins top 2 CBs out, I thought we would have seen a shot or two featuring #19 but it never happened. It's gonna happen soon and maybe this week is the time.

Agree with most of it. I think at the moment Devin Smith is a liability out there. Of course that could change. I wouldn't be surprised to see Owusu with his 4.31 speed trying to take the top off next week
IMO thats too high. I could see 6 or 7, but 9.5 is a slap in the face.

Vegas doesn't trust Fitz...
Glad to see this up. And we have a chance in this one. Can't wait to see the plan.:hand-clapping-smile
Skop, and Atljet60 are in agreement that a gadget play is the way to go. Might not be a bad idea, but I think lil Bill will be ready for it.
Yeah they are going to jam the box against Ivory. Way to get them out of the box quickly, IMO, is to get Owusu upfield early.
