"He's the guy we want to have the ball in critical situations," said Belichick, "and I can't think of a greater compliment than that."

i have heard BB talk about anyone like this other than brady. Shows how much moss has earned BB's respect as a smart and capable player.

Bye week is when we ought to
get him extended.

Yea, that was a crazy thing to hear. Not because it isn't true, but because Belichick never speaks so highly of anyone on this team. I think this is a good sign with regards to Moss staying here after this season.

When I heard that last night, I literally shot up. I mean, here was BB talking about the Colts as a 'good football team' and never went anymore than that (not nitpicking but showing that he never gets overboard even though the Colts played fantastic). And then to hear him say that about Moss, it was a bit shocking especially when we promote the team concept so much.

Mr. Moss - here's hoping that you never wither irrespective of the seasons or the hits!! Congratulations on a fantastic game!

I'm sure there are lots of drug addiction treatment facilities in NYC.

With less success, sure. TB buys extra time in the pocket to allow Moss to get to his spot downfield.

Unless they can do it without having to alter his cap value in any way, it is not possible to do it until the end of the season.

Maybe an "agreement in principle" then?

Did you miss where he said something like, "We have lots of other guys you could say that about too." He was addressing Moss' play because the question was about Moss.

In his P.C. today (Monday), Belichick was asked about Moss's one-handed grab in traffic, in the middle of the field (as opposed to a sideline play or in the EZ, where attempting catches like that seems more common and "safe"). He just shook his head and said something to the effect of, "We see that all the time - in games, in PRACTICE - that's not the first time we've seen him do that. It's not the tenth time."

Gotta love 81.
