New England down to 6 offensive lineman tomorrow night

I mean, its the o-line. Even if they had 20 linemen, the same 5 guys would be in just about every snap. Unless someone gets injured, how does this make a difference?
 
^^^

If the pats can't rotate some linemen in and out of the game, they are going to wear down quick. This is especially true if they have the ball a lot. This is wear the advantage comes in for us, PASS RUSH. We will have a better opportunity to get Brady on his arse. Even if NE has a good first half protecting their still going to have trouble protecting Brady in the 2nd half, 6 linemen ain't gonna cut it, imo, for an entire game.

We are so deep at the defensive line rotation this is going to cause trouble for the Pats. But who knows, these are the Patriots.

It won't matter. I'm sure Belicheat is scheming something to protect his inexperienced lineman. The pats aren't going to roll over. It wouldn't surprise me to see Brady working out of the gun or take quick 3 step drops utilizing the short dink and dunk stuff they were famous for during their early superbowl runs. If you think they are going to let Brady do the traditional 5 step drop so Wake can take his head off, you are sadly mistaken.

Brday in the gun is his bread and butter

i am confident. Not sure why or how the pats Oline got so depleted so quickly but I know starters were in alot in last preseason game.

There's always an excuse when we win, and if we win, the excuse will be the Pats depleted O-Line.

Last year we beat Green Bay at Lambeau, BUT oh wait "They had a lot of injuries..." so I guess it didn't count...
 
We have to keep our Dline rotation on point, wear them down so we can blitz them and disrupt Brady! This is the key!!!

Exactly even though they had the same exact team win the Super Bowl minus C.Matthews, and people will say he was the DPOY, but they had every other Defensive player on what was an overall great Packers Defense last season, 1 player doesnt make an entire defense/team

Fact is they still beat Aaron Roders (Arguably the best most talented QB in the NFL right now) AT Lambeau field something very few teams did and something very few teams will do this season

Yet we passed on him.
 
RG Connolly hurt in the 2nd preseason game. His backup Ornberger hurt in last game, out for the year, and the starting RT, Vollmer, is having back problems.

Waters, who they brought in last week, is notorious for coming in out of shape. He'll be the weak link on the OL.

How's the Fins OL doing? Pats have a deep front 7 on D this season, so it could be a wash.

Ah yes the hindsight usual response

So did the 49ers, Browns, Bears, Bucs, Titans, Vikings (TWICE), Cardinals, Redskins, Lions, Cowboys (TWICE), Saints, Chiefs, Texans (prior Schaub), Rams, Jaguars, Ravens (Prior Flacco), and Raiders
 
Nobody rotates o linemen I don't see how this is a factor unless there are some injuries.
 
I pray for extreme humidity tonight. The front 7 will own the Patriots OL. Also, the problems on OL will reduce the effectiveness of the TE's since they will be needed for blocking. They are the only part of the Patriot's offense that concerns me.
