Its not like they don't have 1000 more options to throw to but Boldin being injured definitely hinders their offense. Its not just a little injury either apparently he is listed as "questionable" with a hamstring injury which can quickly spiral out of control. Don't forget that he is a free agent after this year as well and playing injured/risking worse injury is like an agent's worst nightmare. If he gets injured he gets wayyyy less in the offseason compared to what he could get if he stays healthy...Could potentially be the top paid WR in the league...is he willing to risk that?? IDK....

I think he'll be Probable by game time. Dude has six whole days to rest.

Who knows. I hope he rides the pine.

Watch the Giants pick him up...w/o Burress...

If he plays or not, he won't be 100%...I think we can handle Fitz...I do expect him to make some plays though, he's just too good. But limiting him on the Big plays is the key

Thats not enough time for a hamstring at all

Remember Smith was out two weeks cause of his hamstring in 06. Hamstring are injuries you just dont recover fast from. Even if he play, he wont be 100 percent. Taking hits and constantly trying to run full time could eventually get him taken out

[thunderraiden]

it's impossible to run full speed with a hammie... well more than once... i could see some1 thats a glutton for pain take it once but i can't see their muscle able to even allow them to do it a second time.

He'll be questionable for Sat and even if he plays he won't be at 100%. I expect he'll play because they have to go all in. We'll see if he values this season more or his career.

Boldin is a warrior and if anyone could play with a bad hammy it's him.

[PantherFanForLife]

Be nice if we picked him up next year.

I was bout to say the same thing.

I think it depends of how severe it is. The hamstring really isnt one of those injuries you can just 'play through'.

Boldin isn't going to be free agent. However he does want a bigger contract and my hold out (forcing a trade) if he doesn't get one.

7/31/2005: Signed a four-year, $22.67 million contract extension through 2010. The deal contains $10 million guaranteed, including a $5 million signing bonus. 2009: $2.75 million, 2010: $3 million, 2011: Free Agent

What upset him was Fitzgerald getting this fat deal:


3/11/2008: Signed a four-year, $40 million contract. The deal contains $30 million in guarantees, including a $15 million signing bonus. If Fitzgerald is franchise tagged in 2012, he must be paid $23 million that season. 2008: $2 million, 2009: Under Contract (+ $9 million option bonus), 2010-2011: Under Contract, 2012: Free Agent.

Dan Morgan just phoned in and told him to take the week off

[thefuzz]

The difference in 90% which is where you would want your players this time of year, and 75% which is probably where Boldin is, is very noticeable on the field.

They will bring him out, and hope to use him as a decoy.

It's the last game of the season for either team, he will try to play.

[Ncstatefan]

He'll play but unless it's better than what has been written, he will be no factor except maybe on the first few drives.

[solorca]

Boldin was banged up the last time we played them too. He still torched us.
