No Dex? Is that confirmed, Rich? Big time I assume. :what:

He's listed as doubtful
That would be a huge loss. Our LBs are better than last year, so that will help, but he's a huge force in the middle. With Leo gone, our IDL situation will be less than ideal, and NE does have a very good RB in Rhamondre Stevenson. Expect to see plenty of him tomorrow.
yeah they will try to run on us for sure
in Wink we trust
Next Man UP
He will be missed tremendously. Hard not to miss one of the best defenders in the NFL.
Yep. Dex misses the game we lose.
Who backs up Dexter? Davidson? Nunez-Roches?
A lot !
Like Elvis without his Peanut Butter/Banana sandwiches
Like Tiny Tim without his ukulele
Like Captain Kirk without dramatic pauses
Like Kojak without his lollipop
You get the picture.. :crazy:

Against a good or decent team yes but have you seen the team we are playing? They can't score either!

Very good point. These are the two worst scoring offenses in the NFL. Even worse than the Jets.

Hopefully that first drive of the second half is an outlier.....but it looked too easy.

Our play calling was once again terrible today
I think by now Kafka must realize Barkley can't be used on 1st or Second down
He does a great Dayne for no Gain imitation
Its ugly. Time to move on from Barkley. He's very slow on his initial read and tentative as he moves forward
I thought we should not have signed him and went with Elliott instead....oh well
that should still be possible next year
Elliott looked good today, no sign he has lost a step
I sometimes wonder if we are watching the same sport.
I honestly thought Vilma was going to call down to the Patriots sidelines to tell them to run the ball up the gut every play.

I'm sure. But he's been unbiased and spot on with his observations. I like him. Not saying you don't, just that he's so much better than most of the others.
Vilma is great. He should move up the pecking order.
The loss of Dex was deflating. It's incredible the amount he contributes to this Defense. Clearly Gettleman's shining moment.
Ditto on Vilma. I think he's one of the better color guys and deserves to be in some more prime spots. I find myself liking his takes every time I watch a game with him.
Agreed on Vilma, decent analyst.
I honestly believe Greg Olsen is the best though....including the much hyped Romo.

Olsen is definitely good, but he has already reaped the benefits as he is now the top Fox team (along with Burkhardt). He has risen up the ranks very quickly as he was still playing just a couple years ago. He and Burkhardt are the new Buck/Aikman for Fox. Vilma has been doing this for a while at a quality level and hasn't really been promoted to my knowledge.

agreed. just meant he seemed very frustrated with the Patriots play calling.
