    1. I wondered about Moss after the TD he caught. He looked a little gimpy. Later, Cassel "overthrew" a pass to Moss for an incompletion and on the replay it looked to me like Moss didn't have the jets to go get the pass.
      I hope this is a temporary condition.

    1. this is more great news.if moss was to miss time.i guess we need to look forward to the draft next season.the defense will be ok.but we need every ounce of the offense.

    1. I think Belichick is just blowing smoke. He had Brady on injury report for so long & now that Brady is really injured, he has turned to Moss.

    1. Darryl,
      You do realize that this is game 2 of the season, right? Get off the tobin bridge and relax because things are never as bad as they seem or as good as they seem. As long as we have BB and Pioli in charge things will be ok.

    1. Quick question: Sam Aiken is listed there as a Tight End. Is that a typo or is he now being used at TE?

    1. Mike, you need to tell Belichick to quit messing with the Mojo. First, BB loses the gray hoodie for SB XLII and instead wears that ugly red monstrosity. Look what happens. Then last week, for probably the first time in four years, Brady is not listed on the injury report as "Probable (R Shoulder)" and look what happens. Quit messing with the mojo.

    1. Hey Jim, Don't forget, they wore the white uniforms last Sunday too.

    1. I think that this is just another one of BB schemes. Randy Moss is an excellent receiver and I think that he will be fine with working with Matt Cassel. The only pressure is that Randy Moss has been known a little to give up on bad QB's so if we want him here and in a priority type role, Matt Cassel is going to have to step up to the plate. With Brady out, there is no room for mis-judgement. Matt better get his stuff together or we could be in trouble. Randy Moss will be fine and WILL PLAY SUNDAY Vs. THE JETS. OOOOHHH MAN I hope Brett Favre gives up a few interceptions this week, pats win 31-28.

    1. Randy has a few old 'dings' from his early playing days. His back has given him problems in the past, but he still gets double coverage. If Cassell had gotten the ball out a little quicker and deeper last week, moss would have had a TD for him.
      Moss will be there. Don't worry about that, and he won't give up on his QB as long as the QB keeps him in the game plans. Any QB who doesn't is a fool.
