I see Collie has been cut again.
Edit: so corvus has pointed out. Wonder where he might find a new home?

I reckon we will have Collie on speed dial between now and the end of the season, in case one of our WR's goes down.

Pats most likely i'd say. Nobody is going to sign him before Week 17 and after that there is only 12 teams left in the playoffs and the Pats would be the best fit if a WR goes down. Probably has been told stay in shape, we'll be adding you back on to the roster at some stage. He's already been released and resigned once this season.

I was thinking more next season. It's unlikely you'll resign him a third time, no?

Unlikely unless injuries necessitate it.

Ah crap, Dobson with potential hamstring tweek/pull.

Arrington being Arrington.:mad:

j8wk2feszrnpao

We're driving well, but having to settle for field goals.
If that continues, it's gonna be a close game (particularly with Arrington likely to give up big yards).

Son Of A Vidic

Did I just see a replay moments ago on GP, of Dobson pulling up with an injury. Please God not again, is there no end to it?

j8wk2feszrnpao

100 catches for Edelman, great season, really stepped up this year.

j8wk2feszrnpao

Some other good news, Rex will return to the Jets next year.
As long as they have Sanchez and Smith then I expect the circus to continue.

j8wk2feszrnpao

How good does that Blount trade look?

Fair play to him, he really delivered when we really needed him.

It also once again shows the brilliance of Brady, statistically he turns Edelman into Welker.

kryogen

Dobson pulled up alright, haven't been able to watch properly, not sure if there is any news on it? Just saw Blount go in for a TD alright!

j8wk2feszrnpao

Spoke too soon, Mankins looks bad, possibly ankle twist.
No end to the injuries

me89

Mankins injured:mad::mad::mad:

kryogen

Jesus the injuries this year have been unreal, really not getting a fair crack at a championship this year

Son Of A Vidic

Jesus Christ not Mankins.

And yet, we look good to finish 12:4 and the 2 seed.
Some call it a competitive league, I see it as a watered down league.

Great stop there

Niko with the play.
That man really has earned his contract (note to Arrington).

You have to give credit to the coaching tbh

The players who have been on the field this year have also shown some serious fight and will to win. The league is competitive, very much so, but we happen to have of the all time great HC and QB combinations, probably the best combination in fact and that counts for a lot

I certainly do, this has been an outstanding job by Bill.

With the issues/injuries in NE, the Div was there for the taking for Miami.
Yet we end up winning the Div, likely 2 seed, and just one game off the much vaunted Bronco's (who we defeated in the reg season).

I doubt many other teams/coaches would have managed 8:8.

Son Of A Vidic

Just when you're thinking - "Fúck this, we'll run our way to the SB." Mankins goes down and a great blocker is lost.

I reckon we've had three seasons worth of bad karma already this season. Time for some well deserved pay back imo.

Aaaaaaand there goes Arrington. We're effectively playing with a reserves team now.

I give Arrington a hard time, but I really hope this doesn't mean Cole with be getting a call

Gweedling

Mankins is back on now, he'll need to be careful.

And Arrington didn't look too bad on the sideline.

Mankins is back

I'm trying to watch on Game Pass and it's been absolute shít all night. I reckon I'm about 5 minutes behind live play, but with all these injuries maybe I'll just switch the damn thing off.
