Is Patriots' Thomas hurting?

The reasons for linebacker Adalius Thomas being almost nonexistent against the Colts two weeks ago were assumed to be strategy-based. Patriots defensive coordinator Dean Pees backed that rationale yesterday during a meeting with the media. The sneaking suspicion, however, is that Thomas has been playing hurt, that he's either dinged up or never fully recovered from the left ankle injury he suffered against the Browns in Week 5.

Or maybe (I hate to say it) Ray Lewis was right, he is a system guy. Adalius hasn't been as good as I thought he would be this season. It's understandable if he's hurt, but I wish the Pats were a bit more open and honest on their injury reports.

So, like, every week the pats should make a list of everyone who's hurting and where so every team we play knows who to hit and where? That would be just silly, silly I tell you :D

I think Belichik is questionable .

I think The Hooded One wants us to think that Thomas is injured, is what I think.

Relax. They are only playing another one of their pushover division teams. Pats by 28 points.

who let took him off the pup list?

He was injured early in the game against Dallas. He's average at best anyway.

I believe "Americas Team" was once known as "SOUTH AMERICAS TEAM" . Oh, nose candy wasn't a banned substance at the time.
