What's the over/under on a torn meniscus?
What's the over/under on a torn meniscus?
linkTom Brady limped off the field in pain, and the New England Patriots 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 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 was coming in Monday for a physical.
Brady went to the locker room and wasn’t seen again as backup Matt Cassel 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.”

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.
So you guys now have a mediocre at best QB with a good but aging defense and one WR and a RB.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.
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.
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.
I don't think BB has to tip anything this time.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
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.
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.

called it now all i need is the meniscus and im three for threeI heard that it was confirmed by Adamn Schefter and it's not just a torn ACL, he also tore his MCL too.
I feel a win streak coming and a Bills Playoff Run!!!
VeggieMan- To many Concussions as a kid
Patriots are having a new conference at 3PM...
They officially placed Brady on Injured Reserve.
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:
http://www.patriots.com/search/index...&pcid=47&rss=1"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."
