The 2002 season the Pats couldn't stop the run to save their lives and led the way to them signing Mount Ted Washington the following season. The fact that we're in that territory is frightening.

Any three game stretch is not a substantive measure, especially since the run wasn't handled badly in the Colts game until desperation time

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Like I posted earlier.... we've given up alot of rushing yards the last 3 game. But also just 80 yards a game passing. That might be a Patriots record too.

COLE BEASLEYWR, BUFFALO BILLS

Bills placed WR Cole Beasley on the reserve/COVID list.​

Given that Beasley is unvaccinated (just ask him), he'll be forced to miss Sunday's game against the Patriots and perhaps Week 17 against the Falcons. With 19 targets in his last two starts, Beasley's absence opens the door for Dawson Knox to be fed underneath. Gabriel Davis should also benefit as a WR3.

 

[BigKen]

Beasley has been Allen's safety valve for the past three years. He's as critical as Diggs.

Cole Beasley is out. Emmanual Sanders is doubtful with a knee that kept him out of the Thursday night game.

Tre Nixon and Kristian Wilkerson are practicing with regulars but have not been activated. Both have been practcing every week as part of the Scout Team that operates like the opponent. Nixon plays the speedsters like Tyreek Hill and Wilkerson is the Metcalf type.

Covid has taken 13 Kansas City Chiefs including Tyreek Hill this week. Want to wager that they get the league to move their game to Tuesday?? Odd how certain teams get a postponement and others have to play a regular schedule. That's bullshit. If you can't field your regulars, use your practice squad or sign street bodies.

 

[BigKen]

Explain me this, please.

Rhamonde Stevenson was the primary running back against the Colts last Saturday.

Here we are on Friday and suddenly he's 'doubtful'. WTF?? On NESN Sports this morning, they say he may not be available but gave no reason.

No mention of Covid

After some research I found this:

His illness could be anything.
He may be contagious?, in which case you would not want him around the team?
Could be more serious? We just don't know.....

Bills placed Gabriel Davis on the reserve/COVID-19 list.​

OL Cody Ford was also put on the COVID-19 list. Davis joins Cole Beasley on the COVID-19 list. Both receivers will miss the team's Week 16 game against the Patriots -- a massive blow for the Buffalo offense in a critical divisional matchup. Even worse for Buffalo: Beasley and Davis aren't vaccinated against the virus and will likely miss the team's Week 17 game. Explosive slot WR Isaiah McKenzie could be forced into a full complement of snaps against the Patriots with Beasley and Davis sidelined, and Emmanuel Sanders should return from his knee injury and see an influx of targets in the Bills' depleted offense.

 

[molsaniceman]

Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.​

Stevenson is reportedly dealing with a non-COVID illness, which has kept him sidelined for back-to-back practices. If ruled out, Damien Harris (hamstring, limited) would take his place as a 20-touch workhorse opposite Buffalo. If both can't go, Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor would work in a committee.

 

[molsaniceman]

Damien Harris (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice.​

Harris did not play last week with a string of limited tags, so it remains a little concerning that he can't get a full practice in. With Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) not playing at all on either practice day, this is one to watch for Friday's reports. Brandon Bolden (knee, also limited) could be in line for an increased workload.

Patriots are the league-leader in treating hammy's. We'll get it right!

Packers and Browns
Colts and Cardinals

Christmas Day games. Got a feeling that the Packers and a very pissed off bunch of birds will prevail.

Covid has reared its ugly head and the league has made the decision not to reschedule any more games. Now, with cases reaching nearly 200,000 a day, I'm waiting for states to start banning large crowd gatherings again. The California legislature may take up the issue after Jan. 1. Think they have the nut to cancel the Super Bowl at SoFi?
