Why isn't anyone talking about Moss's back?

Am I the only one concerned about this? Or did I miss a thread?

i saw that and thought it was peculiar, but he does seem to always have little injuries , i know he did miss some games in oakland

limited participation sounds great though, right?

Probably because while he was limited he did participate. And we have enough other crap to worry about...

Oh come on, everything is perfect.

Well, relatively speaking it sure does.

Actually, I was just watching video from Foxboro on nfl.com, and they mentioned his back.......I fell out of my desk chair. We really need his smarts, and leadership on that field. It doesnt sound too serious, so im gonna remove the oxygen mask, and go back to thinking positive thoughts

Not to mention he's by far our best deep threat, and him keeping defenses honest is huge for Cassel.

OK, glad to see that I'm not the only one reacting with the appropriate amount of panic.

well, the part of the video I was watching also mentioned Welker as injured, but didnt mention what the injury was. So as you can see, I heard "moss, welker injured, Cassel starting", and pretty much fainted.

Good thing they didnt say "Bill will be unable to coach the game due to a brain injury, caused by too much game planning"....that wouldve finished me off.

He looked a bit ginger on sunday, but i'm sure he is just being cautious and giving himself every opportunity to recover fully.

WW didn't appear on the injury report at all. . . .

Well, at least Gaffney (knee) is on the injured list too.

I sure hope so. I actually didn't get to see any of the game (luckily, perhaps).

we like to be consistent

 

[PatsFan24]

if moss gets hurt.........ugh

 

[bitsygirl]

I sit directly behind the Patriots offensive line. They taped a large ice pack on Randy's back during th game on Sunday. So, we all knew his back was hurting him then.
He didn't look like he was in pain. He didn't act uncomfortable at all.

 

[novascotiapatsphan]

He is probably just resting it since he is going to have to carry this team on it this year!

 

[dhamz]

Two reasons I'm not concerned:

1 - He did participate in practice
2 - He did that media conference call yesterday

BB does not let injured guys who are possibly going to miss games speak to the media.

 

[JSn]

He's nicked. After Sunday it makes a great distraction for Mangini to have to think about while game-planning.

Maybe he's the next perpetual "probable" on the list.

I hope you're right to not be concerned. I think you are.

That might explain the fumble, since he never puts the ball on the turf.

Or maybe that play is where he hurt his back???
