how disappointed will you be if Moss/Pats trade doesn't happen [Oct. '06 thread]

[brdmaverick]

I feel like we are all on the edge of our seats right now just waiting for the big news to arrive. While in our minds we tell ourselves that it won't happen, we still wish it to happen. I know I will be greatly disappointed if this trade doesn't occur. I'm already picturing Moss catching 60 yard bombs from Brady.

what if the trade deadline just comes and goes with no trades at all?

That would be a major letdown

[Sean Pa Patriot]

He was not here last week, not here this week, and wont be here at all

No no letdown here.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

No letdown as I think it's a longshot that we'll do anything. I'll be excited if we do get him, though, even though I will likely think we overpaid.

I'll be disappointed. I'm not expecting it to happen at all, but it's just the possibility that makes me excited. Checking every 5 minutes, reading updates, speculation, commentary. It's just going to be an end to the fun on a random Tuesday.

Eh. There's good and bad to both scenarios. I'll be happy to have two #1's for next April. I'll be happy to still be rooting for a team that embodies the concept of "TEAM." I'll look forward to seeing how Gabriel and Jackson round into form. We'll be fine, either way.

Right now I would only be a little disappointed but if it comes out later that we were deep in negotiations and just couldn't get the deal done, that will pretty much suck.

[Jacky Roberts]

I learned my lesson from the A-Rod trade in 2003 not to get my hopes up. If it happens, I'll be absolutely thrilled. If it doesn't, life goes on.

Not going to happen according to Curran:

According to NBCSports.com's Tom Curran, the Patriots will not be making any moves for Randy Moss prior to the NFL trade deadline.

I won't be disappointed if we don't get him, because its so unlike the Pats to pull off such a trade. That being said, Moss will have a HUGE impact on our offense and we could use a guy like him to stretch the field. So if the price is right, go ahead and get him. I'm still hesitant about his future salaries though.
