BREAKING NEWS: Brady injured!

[MikeInRoch]

He left the field hobbling, details to follow.

[Nighthawk]

good...

[Bufftp]

unfortunate. I hope it's not serious.

[MikeInRoch]

Figures, tho. I have him in three leagues this year.

[SabreEleven]

I don't feel bad for him especially after they purposely injured Losman last year.

[Novacane]

Figures, tho. I have him in three leagues this year.



:lolpoint: MIR

[rockforlight]

And the NE offense keeps going on like nothing's happened.

[MikeInRoch]

:lolpoint: MIR

I'm willing to take that hit for the league.

[Novacane]

Figures

[paladin warrior]

HE hurt his knee and he walk out. But I dont know how bad his knee.

[SabreEleven]

that play looks like the play Losman was injured on.

[Novacane]

Anyone hear an update?

[YardRat]

No updates yet...NYJ PK Nugent is hurt, also.

[MikeInRoch]

that play looks like the play Losman was injured on.

Maybe, but this one didn't look intentional.

[Kerr]

Doesn't matter. ****ers still won. KC's red zone offense sucks.

[Novacane]

First and goal at the 5 and :poop:

[Mike13]

Him having a torn ACL would make my ****ing day.

[Kerr]

Nobody does. Bellicheat said they were still testing.

[PECKERWOOD]

Figures, tho. I have him in three leagues this year.

Good, I hope he's in your leagues next year as well.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

I never wish for anyone to get hurt. thats just evil.










but, um.... well, dont tell anyone, but...

secretly I am all giddy that Marcia is whacked!

[Kerr]

Rumor has it that it's a torn ACL.

[Crisis]

hopefully they have to amputate.

[billsburgh]

Rumor has it that it's a torn ACL.
:bf1: :dance: :lolpoint:Brady

[Marvelous]

I'm soo pumped up for the EAST Title now...But i'll always know we couldn't beat NE with Brady..

[Crisis]

seriously, i usually look down on people for laughing at injuries.

but this is the one person on this planet i'll make an exception for.

**** brady, **** the pats

[SpillerThrills]

I'll never wish an injury on anyone.... but I def. don't mind seeing brady on the sidelines!

[Ingtar33]

I'll not cheer it.

it's not like he's a bad guy.

But I can't help but think playoffs might be possible; and be happy.

[Kerr]

Nobody should feel bad for cheaters.

seeing the angle of the knee... i wouldn't doubt that the tore something....

[HHURRICANE]

I think he'll be fine and I don't wish injuries on anyone. However, if he doesn't play it changes the AFC East big time.

[DMBcrew36]

Anyone thinking back to when they did the exact same thing to Losman?

****ing Wilfork.

Well here's karma you cheating f*gg*ts

[OpIv37]

UPDATE:

Fox just said Brady has MRI scheduled for tomorrow. Guess we'll have to wait to see what happens.

[OpIv37]

Rumor has it that it's a torn ACL.

sounds more like wishful thinking. I'm not a dr but he walked off under his own power- would he be able to do that with a torn ACL?

This would definitely change things in the AFCE, but injuries NEVER seem to hurt the Pats. Brady would have been on the bench if it wasn't for an injury to Bledsoe.

[imbondz]

I'd rather us beat the best

[gil]

I'd rather us beat the best

after what we've been through, I'd like to take the whole "honor" route too - but if it so happens that marcia is gone, I'm not going to complain - we lost half our defense last year - sorry, but it happens.

[gr8slayer]

Tom Brady is the only player injured player in the league I would laugh at. Freaking :limp:

[VeggieMan14]

dhttp://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2008/0907/nfl_a_brady_200.jpg if i were to diagnose this just on the picture (not seeing x-rays or anything) we are lookin at ligament damage and Mr. Brady could be out from anywhere from about 12 weeks to the whole season depending on the severity... if its ACL most likely the season PCL he could be back towards the end but also he could have just strained it and be back next week

[VeggieMan14]

[jlruss90]

i know that sometimes people can walk off from an acl injury. my teammate walked off the field with a torn acl and just said his leg felt weird. so it could be anything

[Philagape]

From SN fantasy site:

One Jets player told Tom Curran said he heard Tom Brady has a torn ACL.
Fantasy Source spin: Keep in mind the Jets are in Miami. "Everybody I talked to said it's a torn ACL," said one Jets player. "Players AND coaches. When we came in here that's what people were saying, 'Brady's got a torn ACL.'" While that injury certainly looked possible, it's hard to imagine the Jets have inside information as they get off the field.

[njsue]

Marsha Brady will have a MRI tomorrow.

[VeggieMan14]

This could actually be worse then i thought origanally i looked at the footage and it looks a lot like an injury that is called the "unhappy Triad" which is a torn ACL, MCL, and Meniscus. This is a season ending possibly career ending but of course i could be wrong and it could be a bone bruise because i dont have x-rays but the point is that it looks bad

[SABuffalo786]

Oh what a marvelous day.

[losman2evans]

Actually- it was like cool he is out, but it would have been more satisfying beating them with Brady. Also he is still considered one of the best quarterbacks ever and would hate to see a carrer threatening injuring. A nagging ankle or something like that, but not a career threatening injury.

Great QB's dont cheat.

A great QB is JOE MONTANA!

[JJamezz]

As per WGR / Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports.. Brady has ligament damage and is out for the season..

[Ingtar33]

i just saw it confirmed. he's got a torn ACL and will be placed on IR.

gone for the season.

The AFCE just was thrown up in the air, and a number of fantasy football fans are crying.

[Scumbag College]

I'd like to wait and see until after the MRI...I don't trust WGR.

[hydro]

I'd like to wait and see until after the MRI...I don't trust WGR.

I wouldn't say they aren't a reliable source but I am still going to have to get more news about it to totally believe it.

[gr8slayer]

Heard it on the radio here in Dallas too.

[mybills]

I'd like to wait and see until after the MRI...I don't trust WGR.
me too, but...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to the "out for the season!
:boozer:

[Scumbag College]

Yahoo and Sirius just reported it!

Your next 2008 AFC East champions THE BUFFALO BILLS!

[Michael82]

I heard that it was confirmed by Adamn Schefter and it's not just a torn ACL, he also tore his MCL too. :shocked:

[Ickybaluky]

That is what is being reported all over here. Torn ACL, done for the year. Tough break for the Pats, but injuries are part of the deal. They don't cancel the games.

With the Pats going from the best QB in the division (and one of the 2 best in the NFL) to the worst QB in the division it is now wide open. I don't think Miami is ready to challenge because they have made too many changes this year, but I could see Buf, NYJ or NE winning the East. It is that close.

I actually am encouraged by the Pats defense. Their front-7 is going to be great, and their secondary seems like it will be OK. They will take some time to gel, but I can see them having a shot to be the best defense in the division.

They are going to need to because they will have to slug out games to win. They still have great offensive talent, but Brady made the engine run. With Cassel, they are going to have to run the ball more and won't have the downfield threat they had. It should be interesting to watch play out.

As much as I feel bad for Brady, it is kind of exciting to be in a dog fight. It will make the games that much more interesting to watch. It will be different anyway.

And... it a weird sort of way I'm excited for you guys. People around here have been beaten down so bad in recent years, now they have genuine optimism. The Bills are a young, improving team, and they have as good a shot at the playoffs as they have had this decade.

One word of caution... it is a long season, and the first half of it isn't where it is won. No matter how good today's win was, the playoffs are made in November and December. However, congrats on your big win today, and high hopes for the season.

[Tatonka]

my favorite part was where moss said he thought it was a dirty hit in a press confrence afterwards.. he said he didnt see it, because he was down field (fumbling the ball without contact), but the replay looked dirty.. i found it so ironic.. and i am sure jp losman found it to be the same.

[gil]

what a wild turn of events

[YardRat]

Bummer for the Patriots, but TB is only one man. They've still got a solid team to compete with.

[RoanokeVABillsFan]

Tom Brady is a great qb. It's sad that he's hurt. Thanks to NE39 for his comments. You're a great contributer to our site. I'd rather have the Bills beat NE with Brady, because you actually want to beat the best to be considered the best. Unfortunately, that may not be the case this year. I honestly think the Bills should be able to compete for the AFC East title now that it looks like Brady is out. Trent still needs to be consistent and grow into the role where a QB takes you to the top. If he does, we're there.

[more cowbell]

just reported on ESPN news. Bottom Line. Matt Cassell to be Patriots QB for remainder of season.

[DynaPaul]

All I gotta say is:

YEAH BABY!

[Michael82]

All I gotta say is:

YEAH BABY!
Agreed. I can't stand Brady and I am definitely not sad to see him gone.

[SquishDaFish]

:party:

[CUHATIN]

I can only hope this is true!!!!

What a day for our Bills!!!

[cocamide]

The first time he's not listed on the injury report in 57 games he goes down for the year. I feel bad for Brady, but not for Belichick. I'm not a big believer in karma or anything, but damn.

[Kerr]

That was for you Wilfork you fat turd.

well said. I thought we were going to beat boy brady this year but this is going to have to do.

[Mr. Pink]

Daunte Culpepper might want to rethink his retirement! The Pats will be in the market for a new QB. I would be shocked if Matt Cassell starts the rest of the year.

[lunatic_bills_fan]

Anyone think a Culpepper/Moss reunion is in order???

[DynaPaul]

I rarely cheer injuries but this one just has me smiling.

[OpIv37]

i just saw it confirmed. he's got a torn ACL and will be placed on IR.

gone for the season.

The AFCE just was thrown up in the air, and a number of fantasy football fans are crying.

confirmed where?

[Ickybaluky]

Trent still needs to be consistent and grow into the role where a QB takes you to the top. If he does, we're there.

I think that is they key for Buffalo. I like Edwards and based on what I've seen he can be a good QB. The question is, how high is the ceiling?

I think at worst, Edwards will develop into an efficient game-manager who can win games with a good team. At best I think he can be a Drew Brees-type, a guy who can complete a high percentage of his passes and take his team up a level. Time will tell where he falls in that spectrum.

[T-Long]

I tore my ACL and MCL when playing college football...and I gotta say, it's the worst thing I've ever went to. But if I had to wish that pain on someone else, it would be Brady!!!!

What a great great day...!!!!

[paladin warrior]

Anyone thinking back to when they did the exact same thing to Losman?

****ing Wilfork.

Well here's karma you cheating f*gg*ts OH Yeah I remembered that last year.. No I would not be happy to hurt to any player except Tom.B.. I think that N.E will not win 16-0 this year. Hopefully N.E in the 3 place or last place..Cross my fingers

[Ebenezer]

sounds more like wishful thinking. I'm not a dr but he walked off under his own power- would he be able to do that with a torn ACL?


Atlanta RB...Jamal Anderson...walked off under his own power during a Monday night game. Everybody was shocked the next morning when he had a serious knee injury that he never really ever recovered from.

[Ebenezer]

Brady threads merged here.

[jamze132]

What's the over/under on a torn meniscus?

[shelby]

Tom Brady (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5228/;_ylt=AoChDF3rgZkKMSyhgEHy774dsLYF) limped off the field in pain, and the New England Patriots (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/nwe/;_ylt=AgIfHaGk_VzYusq4wn2rNr8dsLYF) can only hope their Super Bowl hopes didn’t go with him.
The NFL’s reigning MVP left Sunday’s 17-10 victory over Kansas City midway through the first quarter with an injured left knee after being hit on a throw. There was no immediate word on the extent of Brady’s injury—“I am not sure what we are dealing with,” coach Bill Belichick said—or how long he would be out.
“It kind of looked bad,” wide receiver Randy Moss (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4262/;_ylt=AglgUPAb2DqXxhz0O4m19YodsLYF) said.
Various reports Sunday night said Belichick told the players that the injury was serious. The Patriots were already looking for a possible replacement for Brady. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that former Tampa Bay quarterback Chris Simms (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6433/;_ylt=ArlCiI_Nx2r4.oG3KAwqYFodsLYF) was coming in Monday for a physical.

Brady went to the locker room and wasn’t seen again as backup Matt Cassel (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7406/;_ylt=AgkiQKGF2ySR5D5v13Nlks4dsLYF) led the Patriots to the victory. Cassel, who had thrown just 39 passes in his first three seasons, could see a lot more action if Brady is sidelined next week — or beyond.
“They’re looking at him, doing some tests on him, so I don’t have any information there,” Belichick said, cracking a smile as he added, “doubt anybody’s interested.”

[buffalo carlson]

Everything im seeing is saying he is done for the year. espn,nfl.com hell even yahoo news has it on the main page. things are going to good right now and thats not my luck so ill billieve it when i see it. by the way hello everyone!

[njsue]

Anyone think a Culpepper/Moss reunion is in order???


NO

[dannyek71]

nfl.com says he will miss the season.

[Ickybaluky]

Culpepper doesn't really seem like the Pats kind of QB. They like guys that can work within a structure and read the entire field, and those aren't Culpepper's strengths.

On the other hand, I wouldn't have thought Moss was the Pats kind of WR, either. Culpepper does have the arm to stretch the field vertically, which is something the Pats lose going from Brady to Cassel.

Right now, they reportedly are working out Chris Simms and Tim Rattay today. I always like Rattay, and I'm a little suprised he isn't in the NFL right now. He is a WCO/system kind of QB. The one thing I don't like about him is his size. The guy is small for an NFL QB, kind of like Jim Sorgi.

Simms showed flashes of ability prior to his spleen injury. He is the kind of pocket guy who fits what the Pats like to do. The one thing I never liked about him is he seems to tighten up in the clutch. Perhaps that is leftover feelings from his college days. He is still a young guy and has some ability, and after his injury nobody can question his toughness.

[Mike13]

As much as I feel bad for Brady, it is kind of exciting to be in a dog fight. It will make the games that much more interesting to watch. It will be different anyway.

So you guys now have a mediocre at best QB with a good but aging defense and one WR and a RB.

Now who does that remind you of?

True....but don't forget that the Jets HC Mangini has to still have friends at the Patriots facility. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the trainers or staffers leaked it to him.

[don137]

Until Brady is on IR I am not going to believe anything the Patriots say. Bellichick loves to not tip his hat. Heck, he could have a bruise or an ACL tear and Bellichick would not realease anything until he officially has to release some information.

[Ebenezer]

I don't think BB has to tip anything this time.

[don137]

I don't think BB has to tip anything this time.

The only way he will tip his hat is when he puts Brady on IR...As long as he is on the active roster I will not trust anything the Patriots say regarding Brady.

[HughC]

True....but don't forget that the Jets HC Mangini has to still have friends at the Patriots facility. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the trainers or staffers leaked it to him.
I don't know, but I'm guessing that between Mangini leaving Foxboro with a team-issued laptop (that surely contained the team playbook, among other things), to blowing the whistle that started spygate - and surely made life for every member of the Pats organization very unpleasant last year - I'm thinking that Mangini has zero friends at any level in Foxboro. As much as we dislike New England, the hatred between the Jets and the Patriots is at least ten times as high.

Patriots are having a new conference at 3PM...

[don137]

They officially placed Brady on Injured Reserve.

[Michael82]

They officially placed Brady on Injured Reserve.
:bf1:

[HughC]

I wasn't completely sold that he was out for the year till I heard New England say something - we've all seen way too many false statements by the media in recent years - but it is official now. Here's today's statement from the Pats:



"After extensive tests this morning, it was revealed that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's left knee, which was injured in the first quarter of yesterday's game, will require surgery. He will be placed on injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the 2008 season."
