If Andy doesnt Andy, we are winning the Superbowl.
Only a failure to score, or stay on the field will screw us. This defense is light years better than last years. All the "genius" has to do is turn Pat loose and not handcuff the offense and we are golden. |

Anyone else not buy this Shady McCoy resting for the post season?
I think Andy doesn't trust him, he was also turning his back on contact the last time he played. |

I have to think that people are exaggerating the impact of losing Thornhill.
He was a rookie and wasn't perfect. Aside from that, a single injury is only devastating if the players behind him are complete garbage. I don't think that's the case. |

the line play was terrible while Fisher was out.
The interior line play was still subpar until Wylie got hurt. Wiz is better, although still not awesome. Both guards and Center need upgrading. BUT, with Fisher and Wiz in there, it's serviceable and that's a big reason for the uptick in the running game-both in Andy's willingness to call running plays, and our success in doing so. Also a factor-Damien's looking healthy, and Darwin seems to have digested enough of the offense to be a factor. |

You will observe no less than three screen passes to Shady during this playoff run for > 20 yards

I told my son this weekend that I think McCoy has been benched. If you need that much rest you're pretty much done. If Williams stays healthy Shady won't be missed IMO.

If this were the case wouldn't it be prudent to cut him if there is a serviceable FS available to replace Thornhill?

Assuming Claiborne comes back, we're back to normal in terms of numbers at CB and we can continue to use Fuller more as a safety while Watts gets more playing time. |

I think Andy doesn't trust him because he has fumbled a few times this year and he still hasn't changed the way he carries the football.

Darwin gets a little credit as well. Kid is a grinder and gets gritty tough yards. He's a little green in other facets of his game but between the tackles he's really solid.
As for McCoy. He had a huge run wiped out by an ugly fumble against the Colts (essentially in the Red Zone.) Then fumble that was a flat out drop against GB sealed the game. He also fumbled ugly against the Chargers inside the 10 but somehow it went right back to him. I feel better when Darwin is in the game at this point. |
