Taylor said he would never play for personal gain if he felt his condition would limit his play and hurt the team.

The Patriots (10-0) are off to their best start since 2007, when they won all 16 regular-season games and two more in the playoffs before losing in the Super Bowl to the New York Giants.
The Patriots offensive line had a hard day against the Bills. So should having six days to game plan for the possibility that he’s limited, or that he joins Julian Edelman and Dion Lewis among the weaponry on the sideline. However a phantom officiating whistle blew and halted the play just before Amendola collected Brady’s pass. The play was eventually blown dead as embarrassed officials blamed an “inadvertent whistle”. It’s pretty challenging to find things on tape that you really like.
Of the seven players who caught passes from Brady on opening night, four were injured by the end of Week 11.
Ryan added, “If we had the technical terms on it, you guys wouldn’t know it either”. “As a team, we just want to win, and I think that’s it. He’s a huge team guy”. I think it is time for officials to be full time employees, the National Football League has plenty of money to pay them. The Patriots now have two healthy wide receivers: Brandon LaFell and undrafted rookie Chris Harper who was just promoted from the practice squad.
It is the second straight season Dobson has been placed on IR. He suffered a hamstring injury in Week 13 in 2014, ending that season for him.
With two catches against Buffalo, though, Gronkowski had his least-productive night in years.
Buffalo has been slowly withering away in the shadow of their AFC rival for the majority of the last fifteen years, so when Rex Ryan showed up with all of his motivational bravado, they were ready and willing to drink the Kool-Aid.
Brady completed 20 of 39 passes for 277 yards, hitting James White for a 20-yard score that was the first touchdown of the running back’s career. His previous low for the season was 61.9 percent – 10 percentage points higher than Monday night.
The idea is that Brady will note his perception of the Bills defense and where they’re bringing pressure and the Patriots offensive line is expected to pivot and block accordingly. First place takes home $100,000! Whether Bill Belichick and the rest of his staff decide to change the pass protection scheme or to increase the number of blockers in the backfield, an adjustment needs to be made.

McDonald has spent time with the Patriots this season after he was claimed off waivers in late October. During an interview with “Schopp and The Bulldog” on WGR 550, Ryan called Watkins “too good of a playmaker not to get more looks” and said that the receiver’s ability was good enough that the Bills should be trying to get him the ball even if it’s not an ideal situation to send the ball in his direction.
