Dan... it ain't about Pitt... it's about the Pats' defense. Pats' offense can get by anybody any given night but their defense is certainly subject on the line and in shallow secondary... even the secondary and deep support tackling is doubtful at times. Not from a technical individual basis but on a coordinated basis. They just don't have the combination of braun and speed to back up containment in shallow or deep when they give up a reception... or run.

And, there will be receptions and runs, allowed by weakness in the front four, which will happen at some point in the game. Fact is, ya can't go back to the days of Brusci and... I'll stop there.

Now... will the GOT play? He is on injured reserve. And, he is Vinny ten times over. That may actually decide the game. Kick ball, get cheque!
