Tom Brady is done.  I can’t believe this happened.  Tom Brady is out for the year after suffering a knee injury in the game yesterday.  This kills the Pats.  How much of a threat is Randy Moss going to be without a good QB?  That’s right, it was only a few years ago that Moss was a Raider with a terrible QB and he nearly dropped off the face of the league.  He didn’t do much.  He had a good game yesterday and is a great receiver but Matt Cassel isn’t the answer here. 

What does this mean to the NFL?  It’s a big hit.  No league wants their marquee player out for the season the first week in, especially who was on a team that hasn’t lost a regular season game in over a year.  The Patriots had targets on their backs to begin with and now they are like a wounded animal.  I expect if teams have a chance to crush them now, they will.  Do you think Mangini is looking forward to Belichick coming to New York this year?  I’ll watch that game and I hate both teams but I want to see how Bill does with QB who would be a 3rd string guy in Chicago.  I’m not sold.

The Patriots are going to have some tough weeks coming up and will have to change into a ball control type team.  They have an easy enough schedule and play in a weaker than most division.  I think they still win 10 games and make the playoffs and i expect Tom Brady to be back by the Super bowl if they make it.  It wouldn’t surprise anyone if that happens.
