It's one of those things where I'd like to believe it makes a difference, but don't think it will chance the final outcome.

Home boy Gronkowski will catch plenty. The Bills have a 40 year history of letting TE's kill them.

For the first time in a long time, I like our LB'ers ability to cover. Barnett is all over the field.

Honestly, all it means is Gronkowski will have a bigger day.

Me neither. The Pats have always been great at overcoming injuries. Someone else we have never heard of we'll just step up and start making plays.

Welker is going to have 10+ catches within 10 yards of the LOS. A LB needs to be there to bury his ass as soon as he touches the ball across the middle. Towards the end, he'll be a bit jumpy if we knock his head off early.

The Pats have been running Welker deeper on routes, and he has been more effective because he is healthier. Last year he was robbed of some of his quickness because he was just back from his ACL surgery. This year he has been impossible to cover. I don't know how he cuts like that without breaking his ankles.

San Diego tried to take Welker out of the game with extra coverage, and he still had 7 catches for 81 yards. With the extra attention he was given by San Diego, Deion Branch was able to have a big day. Welker is an an amazing player.

He couldnt have sat out last week??

Re: Aaron Hernandez out this Sunday

Per rotoworld:

Patriots DT Myron Pryor (groin) will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season.

It's a blow to the Patriots' depth along their defensive front. It sounds like Pryor suffered a Grade 2 or 3 tear in his groin during last Sunday's win over the Chargers. He had been the primary backup to Vince Wilfork and Albert Haynesworth.

I still can't for the life of me figure out how or why Miami let him get away.

Because their FO is about equivalent to the Bills FO.
