How bad could this injury be?

Mankins totally blew it on that stunt by Orakpo.

If Brady is seriously hurt I am giving up football and taking up knitting.

Crap!

Have no fear everyone................ Ocho Cinco says EVERYTHING will be okay.

What ever happened, happened. The question for Patriot defenders is, is it within the rules for interior defensive linemen, to pile drive quarterbacks into the turf? From my seats it looks like the patriots are coached to hit the torso and release but increasingly, it seems other teams are not coached that way and if the league is accepting of these practices then I would argue that our boys need to change their technique somewhat to compete this year. Just my opinion after watching the 08 season and what we have seen of 09 so far.

Injury? What injury?

Brady will be fine. A fat man landed on him. Bruises happen. Bunch of overblown nonsense.

Ummm.... If it was bad... Brady never would have came out in the 2nd half. No one here has ever tweaked their shoulder? He will be sore for two or 3 days. then he will be fine. He is done for the preseason and he will be on the inj report just to mess with people. Look forward to monday.

Twitter is the greatest...............

Hopefully he's fine. The Patriots front 4 are starting to look a lot like the Giants line and i can see them getting to opposing quarterbacks more than what we've seen in recent years. Brady has been hit hard in games against 4 3 clubs in his career. the Pats should learn from this one and hope he is alright.

Good. Need to get rid of all the bandwagon fans around here. Complaining they can't take another 11-5 season.

I believe pile-driving is when you pin a QBs arms to his side and bring him to the ground. This was not the case with Brady tonight as his arm was quite obvioussy free.

Playing along, I don't think we'd go 11-5 this year with no Brady and what looks to be a fairly tough schedule. I think Tommy will be fine, though.

did anyone else see Kevin O connell??? Please dear lord, bring back Brady healthy...

I expect to see a heavy dose of Walter next week and for him to be #2 going into Week 1; of course your short prayer still applies . . .

I just saw the replay for the first time. It actually looked alot less-bad than I expected, as did Tom's reaction to it.

I doubt he would have got pulled up by that shoulder it if was all that bad

Ya know who would be nice to still have on the team right now?
