Cam and Wylie might not be the best guards in the game and occasionally false start, but they have a nasty streak in them and they always hustle. With the brutal cold this week, having a punishing ground game will be important. Don't be surprised if Sherman gets some carries. DB's hate tackling big guys in sub freezing temps.

Yeah this - I think they only went 3 and out once(?) or none. Unlike the Chargers game where the offense went 3 and out 4 times, which just killed the defense by the end of the game.
I like what Reid did in the Colts game with resting Ford/Houston for a series or two. Gotta have those guys not gassed in the 4th Q.
Also for all the handwringing around here - seems like he's played the Watkins situation perfectly and almost everyone else is healthy too. Pretty sure there have been multiple major injuries before or during every playoff run in Reid's tenure here.
It's like the stars are just aligned for us this year.
