Default Talking about fans being spoiled and the lean years and...

This has hit me hard...just yesterday AM way before the game, I mentioned those who may be spoiled..the perspective of fans taking a few steps back to see... and then hours later...Brady's injury and those questions having deeper meaning without number 12....
frontrunners...those that will disappear if the Patriots are not SB contenders and the like....
NOT at all what I expected or wanted..or having this dicussion so soon...

The Pats just lost the best player they will likely ever have for the season - possibly even longer.

This run is not going to last ever. BB will be gone someday. Brady is now facing a very serious injury. Who knows how that will work out. The Super Bowl chances for 2008-2009 do not look promising -they look like they would take a miracle at this point to be honest. I hate wasting what would have been another season of those 2 together.

Am I going to stop watching - no. I watched during the Rod Rust era. That doesn't make it any less depressing.

I depressed about brady cause it seems such a waste to lose such a great player but I am in no way depressed about this season. It's not going to take a miracle, just a lot of luck and hard work. I believe that we can pull it off

Having somethign liek this happen has really brought out the bad in this fanbase and I can't believe some of what I'm seeing. I haven't been a Pats fan long, only since the 01 SB so this is my first time without Brady and am sticking by this team no matter what.

I know this run was going to end sooner or later, but never wanted to have this happen..

For some reason, this has affected me less than the Indy loss and the Super Bowl loss. I think it has something to do with the fact that we don't know Tom's status and the season has just begun. Hell, if anything, the pressure is off now. To all the haters, bandwagon jumpers, and naysayers, I say "good riddance". There was a lot of joy initially throughout the rest of the NFL when Bledsoe got hurt and look how that turned out. Is Matt Cassel the next Tom Brady? I seriously doubt it, but nobody knows what is going to happen and who is going to step up on the offense and lead this team. People, please, get a grip, stop pouting and give these guys the benefit of the doubt. I believe they've earned it.

The thing is you only have so many years left of Brady in his prime, whatever that is, four, five. It's hard enough to win with him (I would argue we should have won the last 2 SBs), but to give up a year (and a half?) in his prime is just criminal.

I'm just not ready to bail yet....I have an unabashed mancrush on TB, but I just think that football is the ultimate team sport...and last time I checked, the Pats were a pretty good team...
