I’ll start with the facts:
-He has not been present at the start of any practice
-He is listed as “missed portion” on the injury report
-He hasn’t talked to the media (Belichick probably doesn’t want him to)
-Matt Cassel is preparing as if he would get significant playing time
-Cassel has taken all of Brady’s snaps at practice

The main question I see looking ahead to next week’s matchup against the Tennessee Titans is whether to maintain the team’s health versus maintaining their performance edge. How often do we see a team that earns a bye come out flat when they finally show up to play?

Happy holidays to whatever you are celebrating this Holiday season!
Happy Chistmashanakwanzkah!!!
Enjoy your time with your family and I will be back in one week!
Finally, we got it done.
The scoreboard doesn’t say so, but we really dominated this game, and didn’t let up at any point. I’m glad we took the division, hopefully we can translate this small winning streak into a 12-4 finish at Tennessee next week.
-That Brady injury was scary, even though he came right back. Matt [...]
Well… The Patriots have a new punter…
We signed 33 year old punter Todd Sauerbrun to an undisclosed deal
He’s not as good as Josh Miller, but he’s good enough to get the job done. Tell me if I’m wrong, but he got traded to Denver before ‘05 because he was found taking steroids while with Carolina. At [...]
Ken Walter on IR – Oh wow, another player to go onto injured reserve. Walter injured his foot during the game on Sunday. I saw the play, he had a crappy punt, frusturated, he sprinted down the field to help make the tackle. I saw him get up and limp and I was nervous…

With only two games remaining in the season, the Patriots would have totry to lose in order to miss the playoffs. Although they have not clinched, the bigger uncertainty than their chances of making the playoffs in my mind is who will their first opponent be.
As it stands now, the [...]
I’m not going to do a long game preview for this one, but certainly it’s a must win game. After coming off a devastating loss to a not so good Miami team, a strong team tommorow could really help out this team’s moral. Laurence Maroney should be back in action, and hopefully Tom Brady can [...]
Pass On IR - Patrick Pass was placed on injured reserve yesterday with the same hamstring injury … Hopefully that means Maroney is ready to go again. I don’t think Pass was hurt badly, I think its Bill’s excuse to keep him on the team, which I guess is better than cutting him.

I said I was going to do some series on the 10 year anniversary of that 1996 Superbowl team, but of course, I never got around to it. Here’s the first installment I promised. The links can bring you to full player stats. The links aren’t mine, but the notes to the side are.
