Apparently Blakeman did the Chargers/Ravens wildcard game. I didn't watch it though I heard there was a major WTF call on a possible Chargers TD. :-)

Still digging but I did find one tidbit...

Blakeman's crew is below the NFL average on defensive PI and defensive holding calls, it would appear based on what I've found.

Now that's news to wake up to

Highly doubtful the Chiefs would be reducing their safety depth if they didn't think Eric Berry could play this Sunday.

Help me remember all the defensive changes since last matchup with the Patsies.

-Houston back healthy
-Sorensen back healthy
-Lucas replaces Parker
-Ward replaces Scandrick

Missing anything?

Possibly Berry.

I love that he isnt getting his way with the media.
Bring it bitches!

The only people who think that the Patriots actually suck are New England fans. They're still one of the top teams in the NFL.

I was already pretty confident Berry would play.

I know it’s frustrating, but I think Reid has been playing the long game all year. It felt like it was a huge gamble to sit him last week, but was it really? I’m sure Reid saw that coming.

I had thought that, but once it was a playoff game, no I don't think so.

I just can't imagine it's anything more than he's actually hurt.

Don't know how effective he'll be but Berry is going to play. They wouldn't have cut Parker otherwise.

You may be right, but I just have this feeling that Reid sat him knowing it was the only way he was going to be able to play the AFCCG and SB.

Also, I’m not saying he’s not hurt, just that Reid has been willing to gamble to make sure he’s available when we need him most.
