Yeeeeep. Had a feeling this wasn't going to go well. Pats have no running game without Lewis and Blount, and no short passing game without Edelman and Amendola. Throw that in with a secondary that's missing both starting safeties, an offensive line that I don't think has played more than one week consecutively with the same people in the same positions, and what looks like a limping Hightower, and this was never going to end up well.

Honestly, if I'm Belichick, I think I'd start nothing but backups against Miami. Play the starters if necessary to win and grab the 1 seed. Then again, it seems like all the backups are our starters now, so...

Pats (17) are 2nd in the league in players on IR, behind the Ravens (20), should be 18 after this games over w/ Vollmer being carted off and almost immediately announced as out.  Gronks out there, but Amendola, Lewis, Edelman, and Blount are out.  Ninkovich is hobbling, Hightower is limping, Mcourty and Chung are out, and I haven't even touched on the O-line lol.  This year's been brutal.

Current league avg is 11 players on IR, so yeah it's been a pretty injurious year for all teams.

EDIT: And now Sheard is having his back worked on...lovely lol.  Dudes been an impressive pickup this year, definitely thankful for that signing.

What a week to bench Julio Jones and Jordan Reed -_______- (Somehow I'm still winning though)

lol, now the LT that came in to replace Vollmer, is down. Unreal.

And the Panther's are unbeaten no longer, definitely took a good shot at it though.

I was too busy today and never got online.

My season has ended. Good luck all.

I, er, uh...

Patriots?

Why the hell would you kick the ball to start OT?

Either they wanted to lose and avoid seeing the Steelers in the 1st round, or Slater understood Belichick's instructions wrong.  Those are my guesses.

Jets...won?

Wasn't really that far-fetched, Pats are really really hurting right now.
