Yep, it's Tuesday. I'm treating the gamethread rules like Pats fans treated Vinatieri.

Stage 1: The Turnaround. Complete.
Stage 2: The Momentum Builder. Complete.
Stage 3: The Defensive Posture. Complete.
Stage 4: The Don't Overlook Game. Complete.
Stage 5: The Play 60 Minutes Game.

Pats by 6.

Sounds like you don't think they're going to play 60 minutes.

60 Minutes Game.

Win it for Andy Rooney

Fred Davis and Trent Williams are suspended for the next 4 games. Not having to face Davis is a big key to stopping their now-anemic offense.

And Williams is the anchor of a now paper thin o-line, and Rex is solid for 2 picks per game.

Any questions?

[Derek's Friend]

Does anyone have info on when and where the Pats will be flying in to DC. Assuming it will be to Regan. Girlfriend also wants to know if anyone knows where they stay? Sorry promised I'd ask.

From my limited viewing of the Redskins, it seems that Rex still loves throwing off his back foot if there's even a hint of pressure in his face and often when there isn't - dude just enjoys making it harder for himself. The Pats D should be in line for another ambiguously good game.

Your girlfriend wants to know which hotel the pro athletes are sleeping at and you're helping her find out?

I'll be there too so I'm not worried. She thinks she has a shot at seeing Tom Brady. I'm not going to argue with her.

Add LaRon Landry to the list of missing Redskins. Just ruled out for Sunday.

Belichick in rare form at today's press conference: http://www.patriots....5a-0b579cec903e

Started by congratulating Monique Walker on her impending job change (going to Baltimore Sun) and then went on for 20 minutes on a whole range of topics -- Rutgers football, etc.

I often wonder whether Belichick's mood during the week indicates anything about what he's seeing in practice or on film. Wouldn't be surprised if he feels the team is clicking and the Redskins are a mess and is a bit more relaxed than he would be otherwise.

Edit to include an example. He... knows a lot about football:

Q: Was it Washington that kind of spurred all the different packages?

BB: I’d say they were ahead of the curve on that, yeah. George Allen was ahead of the curve on that. I think he also was one of the guys that started to take the middle linebacker out. They would take their outside linebacker, [Chris] Hamburger and slide him into the middle. You had a Sam, Mike and Will and your inside guy a lot of times was the least of those three coverage players. If you took your Will and bumped him into Mike and then put a DB in, which a lot of teams do now, similar thing, you’d just have a more athletic, better pass coverage on the field. Allen was, I would say, ahead of the curve on that. Once the multiple receiver sets came in then defensively you have to match those. Really defensively you have to match what the offense does. If you can just put one group out there and defend everything, great. But it’s hard to do, it’s hard to do. They bring in bigger people, well somewhere along the line, you’re probably going to need to match it with bigger people. They keep bringing in smaller people, like in the ‘80s when Mouse Davis and June Jones and those guys ran the run and shoot offense where you’re in four wide receivers on every single down, the 3-4 defense just wasn’t built for that. The 3-4 defense is built for I-formation.

Lucky you. Most if the West, incl. me, gets KC at the Jets. Throwup image. Exception is Arizona, because of Gronk I'd guess. FFS, the most famous NE Patriot of all time is from San Mateo. F CBS anyway.

[ibrewbeer]

Footing will be an issue tomorrow. Its wet and soggy and the service academies are tearing it up right now. The field is going to be a mess tomorrow.

Just dawned on me that the Pats win the East if they beat the Skins and the Jets lose.

Seriously. Why couldn't they play at RFK?

[RedOctober3829]

We have announced that Patrick Chung, Dan Connolly, Brandon Spikes and Shane Vereen have been downgraded to OUT for Sunday.

When exactly is Chung going to come back?

It's bordering on bizzare at this point. By all accounts he looked well enough to play last week. Hopefully it's just a case of being overly cautious to make sure he's one hundred percent later. Midfoot sprains are tricky things.

BULLSHIT. In Madden they ALWAYS give me a definite timetable for injuries.

The last time these teams played was October 28, 2007. If I recall correctly, that was a pretty good day...

End zones are still painted Army/Navy.

I bet BB loves that.

Warren, Vollmer, Mallett out in addition to the previous 4 (Chung, Spikes, Vereen, Connolly)

Holy shit. Is that Tim Thomas in the Bruins shirt in the crowd to the right? Somebody needs to photoshop the Stanley Cup in that guy's hands.

[tims4wins]

Surprised Warren is out given how the Pats have been preaching "stop the run" all week. Thought they'd go heavier on the D line.

Reiss:

Just back from the field. Looks real chopped up. Some areas patched, so grass rises up. One player: "Is this grass for real?"

Really not interested in seeing a key player tear up a knee because of this shit.

After a 5 day delay, baby Bella32 will be watching her first game with Daddy. Let's go ahead and win this one going away behind a 250 rushing yard day, mkay?

Congratulations. I have an eighteen month old son and we are all decked out in our Pats shirts and hats. I could stream the game but we will go to a restaurant to watch the game out here in LA.

Go Pats!
