FORGET THIS MESS. Better not Take Welker out of the offense like he did the first 2 weeks. It cost me 2 losses by only a couple pts in fantasy football.. lol Hope Hernandez is good.. Hes a nightmare!

I’ll give Hernandez two weeks before he has some other ailment. He’s the new Kellen Winslow.

Really? Prior to this year Hernandez has missed a total of 4 games. I would venture to bet that BB held him out of those couple games to avoid injury. Yeah, new Winslow.

Spikes launched should have been a flag and a fine.

If he can run he will see some non targeted, decoy work against Denver, if on for a few plays.

Im a Pats fan and even I admit that hit Spikes laid on Chandler was ridiculously cheap.

GO to youtube and search Brandon Spikes knocks out Scott Chandler

I thought that block Spikes had on Chandler was pretty cheap, and I’m a Pats fan. There was no need for it

Great. Meaning he’ll b back after the bye week. Thanks for the Fantasy tip…

Bills fans still crying about “cheap shots”? I guess after Spikes forced both your backs to fumble, he’s probably not your favorite player. Bet Chandler keeps his head on a swivel when the Bills come to Foxboro, though.

If Hernandez comes back strong and the running game looks anything like last week, this Patriots offense could be nearly as dangerous as the 2007 version. With two tight ends who can catch and block, there’s just no way for defenses to overplay the run or the pass without getting exposed.

I can’t imagine Hernandez did too much in practice with a high ankle sprain suffered 2 weeks ago.

If he’s anywhere near to coming back that’s amazing – and very bad news for opposing teams – though even then you’d have to think his speed and cutting ability would be limited for quite some time.

Since he’s not going on IR it’s worthwhile to keep opposing Ds guessing what they might have to contend with I guess

BIG surprise to see Ras-I “glass bones” Dowling on the injured list – WASTE OF A PICK! They knew this guy had medical issues and still took him at the top of round two, I’m still steaming about this pick!

Spike’s should be missing for one week for the cheap shot he gave Chandler’s head last week.

Thank goodness. With a talented TE like Hernandez out, I was really worried the Patriots didn’t have anyone else at that position who would afford them a fair shot at winning some games.

There may be no “I” in team but there sure is one in Ras-I.

Dowling is healthy.

He left the team to be with his family because his grandmother passed away, according to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald

This is great news. When the injury happened it looked like it could have been a season ender. When diagnosed as a high ankle sprain, I thought we were looking at 8 weeks min. Good to see him heal quickly and close to being back on the field !

Haven’t heard anything about Edelman’s injury except it being a hand. My guess is he might have broken it but I hope my guess is wrong.

Time to start stringing the wins together and get ready to win the AFCE and push for New Orleans..

Are you kidding me..RAS hasn’t even played in a damn game….how is he injured?

There is only one ball on the field during each play.

Obviously still a week or two away from playing… but this is still huge news.

Did Michael Hoomanawanui get concussed from trying to say his name?

I think I just strained a lat trying to type it.

My guess is that Hernandez sits out this week and then plays a scaled back amount of snaps against the Seahawks before returning to his full time role the week after that against the Jets.

Good to see that it wasn’t a severe injury though.
