PromoTheRobot Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Patriots announce Tedy Bruschi will not play in 2005. He is improving but he feels he's not ready to play. Not ruling out '06. Comments? PTR
PromoTheRobot Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 WEEI reaction...sad news but Belichicks got 5 guys ready to step in. PTR
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Hard to not like a player like Bruschi off the field. Hopefully he recovers and does whats best for his family. On the field, I suppose it can't be bad for the Bills chances against the Patsies.

PTR 386512[/snapback] Too bad so sad for Tedy, good news for the Bills. I just want one year when the Pats don't get every single break.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Bruschi isnt a dumb man. Lets see...risk death on the field, or take a year out to get better.

Rubes Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I don't really care what happens to the Pats...at least I won't have to hear all about Belichick getting into Bledsoe's head any more....
JimBob2232 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I really hate when I feel any kind of compassion for any boston sports player. But lately Damon, Ortiz and Arroyo as well as Bruschi have grown on me... Man i hate boston..

PromoTheRobot Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 We all feel bad for Bruschi who is a stand-up guy, but it's real easy to hate Pats fans. All day to day on WEEI they are saying "so what, we're still winning our 3rd SB in a row!" Such arrogance! What team can be blase' about losing a player of that caliber? Their fans deserve a kick in the arse. PTR

nick in* england Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 If Teddy has any sense - he;ll quit football all together and get a gig on TV
Ghost of BiB Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 If Teddy has any sense - he;ll quit football all together and get a gig on TV 386652[/snapback] Pretty well my thoughts. When that first came up, I don't think anyone seriously thought he'd play football again period, let alone this year, unless he or the team or both were idiots. From what little I have heard, don't think he or the Pats are.

Their fans deserve a kick in the arse. PTR 386625[/snapback] Please don't make the mistake that the callers to 'EEI are representative of Patriots fans in any way, shape or form. Keep in mind these people calling in aren't at work. I think it's very easy at this point to be very confident in Belichick and the organization that they will again put the team in the very best position to contend for the title, but I agree - it is the players that ultimately must win the games. This is a day that most fans expected would come, but it is not a good day for the Patriots or a good time to be blase about how much of a loss this will be. Obviously, my heart breaks for Tedy Bruschi, but life does not always afford us the opportunity to do everything we wish on our own terms. If his career is over and this isn't a one year hiatus, he hopefully can take solace that his last season was his best as a professional. He also walks out as a much beloved champion who should never have to pay for a drink in New England the rest of his life for all he's given to us out there on the football field.
mtdoak Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Bruschi is one guy I would love to have on the Bills. He's easily the Pats best player IMHO. Losing him is going to hurt their D alot. It would be like Buffalo losing Spikes. That being said, I'm hoping Bruschi recovers 100% and is back on the field in '06, even if its for the Pats.
Thurman's Helmet Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 As a diehard Pats fan, I totally respect Bruschi's decision and understand if he decides never to play again after this year is up. He doesnt owe us anything, he's given his blood, sweat and tears to this team and this region and for that, I and every other Pats fan I know salutes him. Be well Tedy.
Like A Mofo Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Just hope for his sake everything is ok with his life first and then if he can play in the NFL again, that would be good too....even if you dont like the team, you dont want to see things like this.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I just want one year when the Pats don't get every single break. Is your memory really that bad? In 2003, the Patriots were so ravaged by injury that they started 42 different players over the course of the season, the most ever for a division winner. Others, like Tom Brady, played through injury. Is that your idea of getting "every single break?" As for the topic, I'm glad Bruschi's sitting out. He shouldn't risk further injury by rushing back.
