Oh ****.

Brady just took a hard shot to his knee.

I think it's karma for the last 4 years where he has been listed on the injury report. This is the first week in 4 years that he was taken off of the report.

ACK!

Wow is right... but just remember... it happened against Detroit

But even so, a nice start on the year for a franchise that has gone through a lot of a problems lately.

You couldn't be more right, Ming. There's no way in hell Turner will run wild in Ray-Jay next week, especially since the way our D performed today in New Orleans (simply put: we stunk) will have them nice and pissed off and ready to take it out on the Falcons.

(And even as bad as our D performed, we *still* should have won the game - I hope Pereira gives the entire ref crew a good fine up the ass with a spiked dildo for that UTTERLY TERRIBLE holding no-call in the fourth quarter that allowed NO's game-winning scoring drive to go on).

OMFG Delhomme threads the needle with no time on the clock to beat the Chargers. Great finish!

Sources: Brady out with ACL tear

By Michael Silver, Yahoo! Sports 31 minutes ago

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the 2008 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to a source familiar with the injury.

While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, two sources indicated it involved serious damage to the knee.

“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”

Brady was hurt as he stepped up in the pocket to make a throw to wideout Randy Moss. Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, who was on the ground, lunged forward and struck Brady’s leg, which buckled as he released the ball.

Brady was helped off the field and was later led down a staircase by team officials, presumably to undergo tests.

Fourth-year quarterback Matt Cassel, who had thrown just 39 passes in his career before Sunday, replaced Brady and completed 13 of 18 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. Cassel, who backed up Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC, hasn’t been a starting quarterback since high school. He won a competition with Matt Gutierrez during the preseason to retain the job as Brady’s primary backup.

On both my fantasy teams.

Even without Brady, the Pats are still a playoff team with their schedule. Not behind Cassell, though, somebody else will be dredged out of retirement or out of free agency. They won't win it all without him, though.

Moss will probably try push the idea of bringing in Culpepper.

MATT FREAKING FORTE FTW!!!!

Maybe I should play forte next week
