I feel bad for Brady on a personal level, but as far as the football sense goes, I don't feel anything. Injuries happen every year in the NFL, teams get crushed when their guys go down, the Pats* are no different. the Bills had to deal with big names going down over the years, now the Pats* have to. sh-- happens.
Besides, I hardly think NE is going to just lay down and die. They still have good players left, are they going to win the Superbowl? Probably not, but I still think they will contend all year for the division. Cassel can't be in the NE system for 4 years and not learn anything, Bellichek kept him for a reason. We cannot take the Pats* lightly this year.
