Dan Shaugnessy, Wrong Again

Shank's trying to set the table for the New England Patriots in the same manner he's been doing for at least six years now:

Roethlisberger down in Baltimore. Comes back. But it is a reminder that we are reaching pt in NFL season where best player on every team in Pats path will get hurt

Except for one small detail - he was back in the game two plays later:

He got the wind knocked out of him. He’s fine !

Shank did note that Big Ben came back in the game, but you and I know that wasn't the point of the tweet. When the Patriots get to this point of the season and are one of the top teams in the AFC, he generally pushes that notion (every key player of our opponents and potential playoff rival will get injured) and / or this one:

Here it comes. Patriots not that good. They win anyway. Seen it one million times

I can hardly wait until the stupid 'coin flip' and 'double score' tweets in a few hours, but he did spare us the semi-predictable pregame 'Brady vs. Rodgers' column, for which we should all be grateful.
