The Pats went without RB Fred Taylor at Miami. Leaving him behind did not have an effect on the outcome of the game. The Past won 41-14 with some monster special teams play.
Taylor stands as one of the all-time running backs. He has missed a bunch of games throughout his career. Maybe that is why he is still around. It seems impossible for anyone to play all 16 regular season games. The playoffs are another story.
One of the key points in the CBA negotiations is adding two games to the regular season. As a fan, I would love to see it, but I just don't see how the players could endure it physically.
The health of the team is so critical in advancing through the playoffs. The season becomes a war of attrition before the 16th game. With 18 games, it would only get worse.
As of now, I'll go with 16 regular season games.
