Well said. I think this is the big point that a lot of patsfans seem to be missing - on both sides of the "how will we do the rest of the year" fence.

I knew it. Some of the gleeful comments about Osi the giant defensive end were bad karma. It is plain dumb to be pleased about an injury to anyone.

I don't believe in karma, but I agree that being happy about any injury is not a good thing.

Please keep that thought in mind whether you think the Pats are going to go 4-12 or 12-4.

I've been having a very similar thought to this recently, well stated. I also agree that as bad as this is for us fans and for the team's outlook with regard to W/L, you really have to hand your heart out to Tom at this time. Poor guy loves to compete and now that's been taken from him.
