DAMN STRAIGHT!
This season will be further proof of the actual TEAM mantra, where no ONE man is above the team, nor does any ONE man make or break this team. Even if that ONE man is the greatest QB to ever live.
That's a lovely locker room speech but it doesn't make any sense. The idea that anything short of a Super Bowl title was a failure about 48 hours ago was legitimate. Now it's foolish. That doesn't mean a Super Bowl title is not the goal, but it can no longer be the expectation.
Quality post.
I agree with your premise for a SB run. I'm personally not quite ready to think about these things, need to mourn a little from the news that there will be now Brady this season. Kind of like hearing a friend is going away or abroad for a while. I'm flat out going to miss the guy and seeing him play.
Putting that aside, we've heard so much in the last 24 hours how "wide open" this league has just become. How there is no clear favorite. How the Colts and Chargers look beat up and struggled too. Well, guess what, we're still one of the most talented teams in the league.
This isn't 2006. We have an offense stocked with weapons surrounding the QB. In fact, we might have the best offensive player in the league still.
I feel sorry for Tom, I feel sorry for ourselves for not being able to see him again this year, but the whole NFL can go f**k itself, and I hope the Patriots go out and re-prove what they proved in 01, that a playmaking defense and a conservative offense with timely bits of clutchness can win a Super Bowl.

Well IF we win the SuperBowl this year - I will feel bad for Tommy - no 4th ring.....
TB's injury is disappointing but we finally get to find out if its the chicken or the egg. If Belichick can win 10+ games with Cassel it will go down as his best coaching job ever. I'm excited to see what happens. No more Easterbrook et. al. getting their panties in a bunch about us running up the score.
Of course it could just as easily all go down in flames.
Since i can't post a new thread I'll pose my question here and maybe it gets its own thread buy someone who can start a thread anyway my concern is this....
Did we lose more then one player yesterday? Does Moss continue to be the great teammate and hard working reciever we saw all of last year - or now that the SB is a long shot does he revert to the reciever we saw in Oakland?
Best wishes to Tom and his recovery. My greatest fear is that he follows the path of Daunte Culpepper after he suffered his knee injury, but football is second in my concern to his overall well-being.
