ugh these injuries are killing us...if mayo misses long time that will be big against our defense.

also hoping woodhead's injury isnt bad

[Neurotic Guy]

Ridley!  Looking good.

[Bahku]

Wes Welker is just amazing ... the Dustin Pedroia of football. Looks like Tom got over the "bad" week he had.

[Mike-Dub]

Wilfork!

[Neurotic Guy]

Wow.  Vince Wilfork - another.

[Bahku]

Big Vince!!! Wow ... who on the PLANET would've guessed that Wilfork would get two INTs in three weeks ... I love it!!! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, either ... I love to see him running (kind of) with that ball, LOL!!

[Bahku]

Nice win ... great (expected) comeback ... so much for the "down" period. Looks like Buffalo got a taste of what we had last week ... as all teams do ... eventually.

Too many injuries, let's hope they rebound quickly ... and Haynesworth should be back next week. Got another look at Ridley, which I like, and the defense was decent, though they've yet to get consistent pressure on any opposing QB.

nice win. at least the D was able to hold the raiders to 13points when it mattered....gave up too many 3rd downs though which is something they need to stop

pretty quiet day for Gronkowski..I think teams are starting to double team him on those seam routes...and Branch(besides the TD)...apparantly nobody can stop welker

Ocho was 3-3 today(well the 3rd didnt count because of the welker penalty)...not sure why he didnt get more snaps considering branch had trouble getting open...but I think we were trying to be more committed to the run..

Ridley looks good...he can hit those holes faster than BJGE IMO

[Donoghus]

Ugly football game.  Not much rhythm but a solid "W".  The Mayo injury is certainly troubling, though.  Still have concerns about this team defensively.  They just continue to struggle on 3rd downs. 

Offensively, not their best game although Welker continues to show why he's the best slot receiver in the game.  Nice to see the running game get going, though.

Big one this Sunday.  Jets are reeling.

[cman88]

the jets are definitely going to come out playing desperate...but IMO the jets took a turn backwards this year. they cant seem to Run/stop the run...and the OL is a weakness...if Romo doesnt hand them game 1, they are 1-3 right now

hopefully we get dowling, bodden, haynesworth, hernandez back next week(but especially the defensive players)...so we can get pressure on sanchez

this is a game where Ochocinco/the TE's are going to have to step up in the passing game because Cromartie will probably shut down branch, and Revis will limit welker..

OC showed more promise in his limited snaps than edelman/slater did. so hopefully he gets some extra snaps..put Price in instead of slater
