Stretches like that would be incredible difficult with us because we just don't have the medical facilities, indoor practice facility, training facility, or medical staff to handle the hard-nose style of the NFL.
People (actually, it may have only been one person) have called me out saying that I don't know if all of the things I mentioned are up-to-par with the Bengals, but you can look-up our small medical staff and all of the facilities, which they don't have some secret buildings and staff members just to trick the football world.
I have no idea how the Patriots overcome them, but I think it's just the mentality of the team that everyone plays a part. I could say that it's Brady that holds it all together, which it is to an extent, but, even when he was injured in 08, they still went 11-5 (I think).
I have to figure that at least Bell will get injured during that stretch, so Steelers fans just have to hope that it's not for an extended period of time.
