Re: If it turns out that Moss is nursing a back injury...
I don't understand why we as fans are so quick to jump on the naysayers in the media who are just trying to create a story.
I watch every game and Moss has clearly been working his ass of for 3 years for us, thru record breaking years, thru Bradyless years, and thru a persumed back injury. The guy has had a tough month (one of the worst of his careers) and still is top 5 or 6 in WR categories, still commands a constant double team, and plays %90-%95 of the snaps.
You go out and get doubled for 95% of a game and see if some frustration doesn't show on your face.
Here is story that I noticed from last weeks game that may speak of Moss charector and importance to the team. After the TD pass to Moss Last week when Brady went to locker room after his tough hit Moss came to the sidelines and was looking for Brady with concern. When Brady came back from the Locker room he went rushing over to Moss to let him know he was OK. If Brady thought Moss had been dogging it you think he would run right to him he would probably go right to Welker instead.
So long as Brady considers Moss his favorite target than I will consider Moss to be working hard. When their relationship looks strained then maybe We can start wondering if anything is going wrong until than I will ignore the stories that the Media tries to create because I see no evidence that there is truth to it.

Why are so many of you Patriot fans trying so hard to defend a lazy and soft player who's had a career long reputation of being a lazy and soft player?? Randy Moss has hall of fame talent yet is on his 3rd team in his NFL career and has never won jack.
He's showing you why that is.
Let's get a few things straight:
1. Randy Moss is a first ballot HOF'er
2. Randy Moss would start opposite Jerry Rice (who also played for 3 teams) on the ALL-TIME NFL Team.
3. Randy Moss caught the would-be game winner in SB 42. The fact that our defense got carved up by Goober Jr. in the most critical moment in no way affects his greatness.
4. He has been arguably the most important part of the two-highest scoring offenses in modern NFL history.
5. He is unbelievably talented, but if you think you can be as great as he is without working hard, I don't know what to tell you. You're just wrong.

Have you been waiting three years for this moment? I'm guessing you wanted him cut two years ago when he didn't play in a couple of preseason games too.
The lazy and soft reputation is a media creation - due in large part to the "I play when I want to play" comment being taken out of context. Some people buy it (the theory Moss is lazy) at face value - just like some fans of other teams buy the line that the only reason the Patriots have won any championships is due to videotaping.

EVERY PLAYER in the NFL is banged up by this point in the season,If this is the case then Moss needs to grab his nutsack and get out there and earn his millions - this is not a game for whining pansies who can't play because they are not 100% - --no one is 100% in week 14.
I guess that would make Fred Taylor, Sammie Morris, Sebastian Vollmer, Matt Light and Stephen Neal all huge pansies for missing some games then.

Really? Look at our third receiver (Or second, Welker's actually a slot, not a 2) . How do you think our pass offense would look without Moss commanding 2 and 3 defenders each play?

*lightbulb goes on*
Let's cut Moss and sign this Galloway guy. Word is he's really fast.
