Healthy outlook for Brady

I think I see this as a sign that he may not play.

Yeah, if he's not in the IR that can only mean one thing: R.I.P. Tom! We'll miss you.

"It is the clearest sign yet that the 2007 NFL Most Valuable Player is ready for Sunday's season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. "

The less on the injury report about Brady, the more serious the injury if past history is any indication...

list Brady as probable = he'll play
list Brady as questionable = he'll play
list Brady as doubtful = he'll play

don't list Brady at all for the first time in years = he won't play

(there's a "priceless" commercial just waiting to take this one over!)

how can you possibly see this is a reason that brady won't play? i really hope you are being sarcastic.

I think I see this as a sign that once again, the Patriots have managed to fool all morons, including you, Rob F.

Or just another example of gamesmanship...

The ever out-coached Herm Edwards (and other NFL staffs) may employ the same thinking as Rob F. or more specifically have no idea what the hell Belichick is doing next. Bill B. is like the punk kid sitting in the back of math class who knows he's smarter than the teacher and the entire educational system itself.

For years he's played the injury report system like a fiddle.

For some reason, Brady being left off the list entirely makes me even more nervous than if he'd been listed with both the foot and shoulder issues. There's something we don't know. And it's scaring me.

I think it is a sign of further proof that fans (or anybody else for that matter, except maybe Jon Bon Jovi)) knows what goes on in the mind of Bill Belichick. It is so pointless to even project what is going to happen, those that attempt to have too much time on their hands.

PS: Pats win 38-17

Prediction:

Pats 42
Chiefs 14

This reminds me of two quotes from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Butch Cassidy: "I have vision, and the rest of the world wears bifcoals"

Butch Cassidy: [interrupting] I think they're in the trees up ahead.
Sundance Kid: In the bushes on the left.
Butch Cassidy: I'm telling you they're in the trees up ahead.
Sundance Kid: You take the trees, I'll take the bushes.
Percy Garris: Will you two beginners cut it out.
Butch Cassidy: Well, we're just trying to spot an ambush, Mr. Garris.
Percy Garris: Morons. I've got morons on my team. Nobody is going to rob us going down the mountain. We have got no money going down the mountain. When we have got the money, on the way back, then you can sweat.

Duhhhhh -- its called humor -- have you ever heard of it?

I think the superbowl loss has made us all a little crazy in the offseason. i saw the same paranoia after we lost to the broncos then the next year to indie in the offseasons. we're not doomed, guys. worry when 1 of either brady or bill leaves. we're going to kick ass, make the playoffs, and make it to tampa in feb.

Watson can't stay on the field.

Wow...funny stuff. I am glad some people can see the humor in my comment regarding what could be the meaning of Brady's famous injury report streak. One thing I think we all have learned over the years in being Pat's fans and fans of Bill Belichick is to take these injury reports with a gain of salt. Just for the record, to those pots calling the kettle black, I sure hope he plays!
