We need Butler on the DL, Mason on the OL and Dugger to break up those jet sweeps.
 
One thing on the poll. I think the Pats will win. Niners due to injuries is not the same team as went to the superbowl last year and at this point the pats are better, but if they were to lose, I am not sure JG
has to have a career game, the niners have won quite a few games with JG just being along for the ride.
 
I suspect that actually having practiced for a week this offense will perform much like they did earlier on. I'm expecting a win and a solid performance all the way around.

The Niners have a great fullback as well - Kyle Juszczyk who is also a pass catcher. He is a nightmare match up and one that Shanny likes to use against LBs. This is a big spot for Bentley.

Based on practice attendance and participation yesterday, it’s reportedly trending that New England will roll out this OL:

Isaiah Wynn - Joe Thuney - David Andrews - Shaq Mason - Michael Onwenu

This should be more dominating than what we've seen the last 2 games.

That wouldn't be too hard of a threshold to exceed. :p
 
Oh, I'm up. :)

Took a nap from 4 to midnight. Been terrorizing the interwebs with inane bs ever since.

Let's get this thing rockin'!!! :patslogo26:
 
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots announced that they have activated C David Andrews to the 53-man roster from Injured Reserve and elevated DL Tashawn Bower (Standard Elevation) and DL Nick Thurman (COVID-19 Replacement) to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.

Andrews, 28, started the first two games of the season before being placed on injured reserve Sept. 26. Andrews is in his sixth NFL season and was named a team captain for the fourth straight season.

Bower, 25, [#96] originally signed with the Minnesota Vikings as a rookie free agent out of Louisiana State on May 5, 2017. The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder appeared in seven regular-season games as a reserve over two seasons for the Vikings and totaled seven tackles and one sack. Bower joined the New England practice squad in 2019 and started this season on the Patriots practice squad.

Thurman, 25, [#92] is being elevated to the 53-man roster from the practice squad for the fourth time this season. He played as a reserve at Seattle (9/20), vs. Las Vegas (9/27) and vs. Denver (10/18) and totaled three tackles. The 6-foot-4, 305-pounder originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with the Houston Texans out of the University of Houston in 2018 and spent the 2019 season on the Patriots practice squad. Thurman went to training camp with the Patriots this summer and was signed to the Patriots practice squad on Sept. 6.
 

49ers (3-3) at Patriots (2-3)​

4:25 p.m. ET | CBS

Matchup rating: 72.9 | Spread: NE -1.5 (44)

What to watch for: The Patriots have turned the ball over seven times in their past two games, both losses. The 49ers have created just six takeaways all season. If the Patriots continue to be sloppy with the football, they could be looking at back-to-back regular-season home losses for the first time since the 2008 season. -- Mike Reiss

Bold prediction: New England quarterback Cam Newton will rush for 90-plus yards. Believe it or not, Newton has only four such games in his career and hasn't hit the 90-yard mark since 2017. But the 49ers have struggled to contain mobile quarterbacks, allowing 231 rushing yards to QBs so far this season, most in the NFL. -- Nick Wagoner

Stat to know: 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is averaging 7.4 yards per attempt this season (18th in the NFL), down from 8.4 in 2019 (third).

Injuries: 49ers | Patriots

Betting nugget: New England is 41-16 ATS following a loss since the start of the 2003 season and is 52-27 ATS after a loss under coach Bill Belichick. Read more.

Wagoner's pick: Patriots 24, 49ers 20

Reiss' pick: Patriots 23, 49ers 20

FPI prediction: NE, 50.3% (by an average of 0.2 points)
