brady...why do you do this to me...
the pats strength has never been individual talent (cept for last year when brady and moss shat on the nfl...) but great chemistry and a good gameplan.
and its not official that brady is out for the season. dont count on it unless he gets shifted to the IR. belichick is a shifty/sly mofo (love him) and he could be playing mind games with the nfl. its def a possibility. but it could also be me in denial/wishful thinking...i wouldnt be surprised if brady shows up week 10 or 12 or something and goes SURPRISE!! Actually belichick exploits the injury list so much that if you see brady as doubtful next week, be suspicious.
and if the giants can win with eli behind center...anythings possible.
...also, remember how ALMOST EVERY STARTING QB IN THIS LEAGUE FINALLY GETS THEIR CHANCE TO SHINE...very often it starts with an injury to a star. a few scattered min here and there in the preseason or in blowouts is no way to gauge how well matt cassel is going to perform as a starter.
