The running game will be after the catch.

I must admit I stole that from somebody on Reiss’s board.

When Bill faces a strong run defense, he’s not one to beat his head against the wall.

Victory will be by air.

Patriots 31

Ravens 20

Faulk knows how to chip

It’s the playoffs. Belichick goes with his “good hands” players on special teams and elsewhere. Always has.

Ridley will only get better with time.

and nobody but Bill has been surprised how they both did zero once the paychecks started coming in….

Faulk has been a key contributer throughout his career. No doubt Belichick has plans to mix him in.

Good stuff. Go Patriots!

The Patriots have a solid, versatile group of running backs heading into the AFC Championship!

Go be with your family. If the Pats didn’t tell him he would not be playing until today, that is incredibly f’ed up.

He has fumbled twice all year and is averaging over 5 yards per carry. He is their only real running threat. This is biting off your nose to spite your face. Don’t discard a good young player again Bill
or maybe someone will bench you for all those fumbled draft picks.
