It's ironic that the reason we didn't play the Pats last year in SB48 is that New England had a slew of DB injuries, and then I think Aquib Talib got even more injured in the AFCCG, and NE just had no DBs that could match up to Demaryus Thomas, not to mention being unable to stop Wes Welker and the other Bronco receivers. Denver just exploited that Achilles heel over and over. So Belichick made that a huge offseason priority, including paying Revis and Brandon Browner.

You know what's funny about this? Bill Belicheck is "chasing" needs, just like Jerry Jones. Whereas John and Pete plan ahead and have experienced people ready to step in at any moment.

Pete plays his younger players, Holmgren had to be talked into it. He played Boulware but he seemed adverse to growing his backups.

I am surprised that there hasn't been any last second cuts with the volatility of the secondary due to lingering injuries. Walters may be inactive as well as Michael.
