Re: Foxsports: Welker (Likely Out), Moss (Likely Will Play):
Given the conditions today I have mixed feelings about those two playing anyway. Moss isn't much of a mudder and getting Welker fully healthy is more important to the big picture than any one game in September.
OTOH, while perhaps much better in the long run and for the season to protect Welker and Moss, I don't think I can take another week of doom, despair and agony if the Pats don't dominate the Falcons. Gary Tanguay already called this a MUST WIN, so I guess if they don't win a must win game, the season is basically over.
So I'm hoping Welker and Moss play just to take the dreary wind out of the sails of the internegators.
WIth apologies to Longfellow,
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the
stadium wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of
the Pats fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
On any given day a team can fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
