budlitebrad Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 The same thing happened last year to Wilfork on Losman in th Bills game. He swore he did not do it on purpose, but he still got fined. Wilfork's hit definitely looked more intentional than Pollard's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Brady played some at Michigan, didn't he? Cassel never started a single game in college. He was behind Matt Leinart and Carson Palmer. What's the difference Czar? Haven't you been reading? Randy Moss is the next coming of the almighty. They could throw Stonewall back there and your Pats wouldl be fine as long as the greatest receiver ever is playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Maybe Moss could just switch to QB then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rai Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I was so happy to get Brady at 1.9 especially as I told myself he's a more-or less lock to start 16 games. but at least I wonn this week and have Rivers on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 From NFL.com Breaking News Brady done for the year Patriots QB Tom Brady will miss the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury, reports Adam Schefter. <a href="http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80a95089&template=with-video&confirm=true" target="_blank">http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true </a> Brady's season over after injuring knee vs. Chiefs Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Reigning NFL MVP Tom Brady left Sunday's game against Kansas City after being hit on the left leg, depriving the New England Patriots of the quarterback who last season led them to a 16-0 regular season and their fourth Super Bowl appearance in eight years. Brady suffered a serious knee injury against the Chiefs that will end his 2008 season, reports NFL Network’s Adam Schefter. Meanwhile, free-agent quarterback Chris Simms is scheduled to arrive in New England Monday morning for a workout and a physical, Schefter reports. If all goes well, Simms could be a Patriot by the end of the day. Kansas City and Tennessee, each of whom had quarterbacks suffer significant injuries on Sunday, also have contacted Simms. Brady, who has started 128 consecutive games, went to the turf clutching his left knee midway through the first quarter when he was hit in the pocket by Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard. After being tended to on the field, he walked off, limping, between two trainers. Brady, 31, went to the locker room and was not seen again on the sideline as backup Matt Cassel led the Patriots to a 17-10 victory. The two-time Super Bowl MVP was not available for comment after the game, and coach Bill Belichick said he had nothing to add to the in-game announcement that it was a knee injury. The Chiefs also lost their starting quarterback when Brodie Croyle was sacked in the third quarter. The team said he had a bruised right shoulder and he was replaced by Damon Huard. Brady was 7-for-11 passing for 76 yards, completing a 26-yard pass to Randy Moss on the play in which he was injured. Moss fumbled the ball away when he was tackled; the Patriots forced Kansas City to punt, then Cassel came in for New England. "Since I've been here and been around Tom, he's always popped back up," Cassel said. "I didn't know (how serious it was). I just buckled my chinstrap and the guys rallied around me. I felt their support." Cassel took over at his 2 yard-line and, after two handoffs nearly netted the Chiefs a safety, completed his first pass to Moss for a 51-yard gain. Cassel, Brady's backup for the past three years, finished the 98-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Moss that gave New England a 7-0 lead. "This is something I've been preparing for for a long time," said Cassel, who threw just 33 passes while backing up Heisman Trophy winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at Southern Cal. "It's not something I expected to come up on opening day." A former fourth-stringer who was the 199th overall selection in the 2000 draft, Brady himself took over at quarterback when longtime starter Drew Bledsoe sustained a life-threatening chest injury in a 2001 game against the New York Jets. Brady led the Patriots to their first NFL title that year, another in 2003 and another in 2004. In the process, Brady has become one of the league's biggest stars and a crossover cover boy who has met the Pope and the president, dated actresses and supermodels and rewrote one of the NFL's most coveted records. Last year, while leading New England to a 16-0 regular season, Brady set a record with 50 touchdown passes and improved his overall record as a starter to 100-27 -- the best in the Super Bowl era. The Patriots blew a chance at an unprecedented 19-0 season and a fourth NFL title with a 17-14 loss in February's Super Bowl to the New York Giants. Brady did not play in four exhibition games this summer -- all of them Patriots losses -- while trying to recover from a right foot injury. "He's the face of the New England Patriots, and Tom being who he is it kind of hurts, to be honest with you," said Moss, who caught 23 of Brady's TD passes in 2007, also a record. "I know the show must go on. Hopefully Matt Cassel is ready to step in. I know the team is ready to embrace him and let him lead us."

Bring Back Pat!!! Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 there are no sources to check with. The team hasn't said anything, and won't, until after the MRI tomorrow. Everything else is guessing. That being said, I think he's done. But nobody KNOWS that for 100%. There's nothing to confirm yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
