Wynn out for tomorrow's game.

Patriots LT Wynn (ankle, hip) out vs. Bills

The New England Patriots will be without starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills because of ankle and hip injuries.

Still no word on Duggar and Barnmore.

 

[BigKen]

According to this morning's reports, Duggar and Barmore were listed as questionable. Because this is a crucial game, bothare expected to play. Barmore's knee was clean afterMRI, CAT Scan, and X-rays. He's been limited in ractice to allow it to rest. Duggar sat out the Dolphin game to allow his injured hand to heal . Only Wynn and Mills are officially "ÖUT".

Patriots Elevate Four Players to the Active Roster

The New England Patriots announced that they have elevated CB De’Vante Bausby, DL Daniel Ekuale, DB D’Angelo Ross and WR Kristian Wilkerson to the active roster from the practice squad.

Kristian Wilkerson elevated to active roster. per Mike Reiss.

Patriots CB Jalen Mills (reserve/COVID) wasn't activated for Saturday's Wild Card game with Buffalo.​

The Patriots will be without Mills, who was placed on the list Tuesday, for the first round of the playoffs. It leaves them down to Myles Bryant and Joejuan Williams behind J.C. Jackson, likely leading to more three safety packages. Patriots safeties Adrian Phillips (knee) and Kyle Dugger (hand) are listed as questionable but expected to play.

Mrs Carnzo has spoken, we have been ordered to wear our Pats gear for the game.

Silly season but we will do it rather than face the rath. She is wicked superstitious.

It's 7 degrees in Buffalo and the temp is expected to be around 5 at game time. Wind is about 7-9 mph.

Wind chill will will make it around 0 or -2. Neither team has played in this kind of cold.

My personal experiences, playingand coaching in this kind of cold presents two problems:

1. The ball. It will be very hrd and very slippery. It will be difficult to throw and difficult to catch. Recievers shoudl be wearing gloves and have hand warmers inside them.

2. Breathing. While you feel cold air more than warm air, the lungs can't expand as easily or prcess cold air as easily as warm air. It actually makes the lungs and heart work harder to distribute oxygen throughout the body. Hence, the body actually tires much more quickly internally which slows down reflexes and response.

If the Patriots can get the running game working and average 4.5-5.5 yards per carry, itwill wear down the Bills'defense very quickly and keep Allen on the sideline. The Patriots defense has to concentrate on forcing Allen to release the ball quicker than he is comfortable doing. They also must keep him in the pocket and not let him be the leading rusher like they did Dec. 16.

We've all had our say. We know what the game tomorrow means for both the Bills an dthe Patriots. More important, we know what it means to each of us. By midnight Saturday, we'll be bitchin' about what we think the Patriots did wrong or about the next opponent. Ifthe Patriots lose tomorrow,we start looking forward to the draft and free agency. We also start to cheer for snd against teams we like and hate.

If the Patriots win, then there are scenarios that all depend on how the Raiders and Steelers games finish. Depending on the those games the Patriots will be playing in Nashville, Kansas City, Cincinnati or Las Vegas. The only way the Patriots could play in Foxboro is if there are complete upsets everywhere and the Pats and Steelers end up in the AFCCG. Not to say it couldn't happen but if I put $100 on that parlay and if I win, the payoff will be about $56,000,000. I'm seriously considering it.

I'm just hoping that we're all talking about stopping Derrick Henry at this time next week.

Bills declared RB Matt Breida, DE Efe Obada, WR Marquez Stevenson, TE Tommy Sweeney, OL Bobby Hart, DT Eli Ankou, and LB Joe Giles-Harris inactive for Super Wild Card Weekend against the Patriots.​

Devin Singletary will again be the No. 1 back in a Bills offense that's far more balanced than it was last postseason. Zack Moss could see a handful of touches behind Singletary.

 

[molsaniceman]

Damien Harris (hamstring) is active for Super Wild Card Weekend against the Bills.​

Patriots declared LT Isaiah Wynn, TE Devin Asiasi, RB J.J. Taylor, QB Jarrett Stidham, DT Carl Davis, DE Chase Winovich, and WR Kristian Wilkerson inactive against Buffalo. Harris should operate as the team's lead back in what should be a run-heavy offensive approach against the Bills. The Pats will be without Wynn, a blow to their pass protection against Buffalo.

No parlay was offered. Just game by game and SB matchup and SB winner.

Wow....

What a disaster!

On to next year!

 

[BigKen]

Left the Rib place before the 2nd quarter was half over.

Pats gave up 70 yards rushing to Allen on the first drive and Mac should never have thrown that pass in the end zone. He saw the WR but never looked at the defense. 20-0 and Mac was begging Andrews to hike the bll and got a delay. Then Shaq whiffs on blocking Milano and Mac gets grass stains.

They just are not good enough to play in the bright lights. It wont get any better next year unless Mac has some WRs who can catch the ball and get some separation. Can't play an A Game with C- wide receivers.

Frustrating game to watch.

IMO, the Patriots did not look like they were even prepared for Allen to run, it almost seemed like they had no idea he coud do it. Yet he was the leading rusher in their last game at Foxboro. It baffles me. It's embarrassing.

A true slaughter in all phases of the gdamm game.

Leaves a bad taste about the season.

Cheer up Charlie.....we about to get a TD!

 

[Montalban]

Its rare that you see a Belichick coached team come into a game as unprepared as they are in this one. Not ready to play

Is one of the McCourty's no longer on the Patriots?
