Brady's Could Be Out for the Season with Torn Knee Ligament - Patriot Nation Cries Like Little Girls

So this isn't good.  It sounds like Tom Brady could be out for the entire season!  SHIT!  I think you could hear a pin drop throughout New England on Sunday afternoon as we started to realize that Brady was hurt and wasn't getting up.  Although he was able to limp off the field, we all knew that there was potential for a serious injury, especially whenever the knee is involved.

Although some are saying that Polloard's tackle wasn't dirty, I still think it was ridiculous that he was even trying to tackle Brady from the ground.  Nothing good is coming from that play.  The chances of injury are high because you are low to the ground and slashing at someones legs and the probability of making a tackle from there are slim at best.  With that play, Pollard basically ruined the Patriots season and pissed off and disappointed every single Pats fan.  What an ass.

I heard that the Pats are calling Chris Simms (formerly of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) to come in for a workout this week.  He is serviceable but definitely not a great replacement for Brady, not that anyone really is.  I thought Cassell looked decent and could be OK for the rest of the season if the Pats continue with a nice running game but neither choice is at the top of my list and we would all be stressed out every single play for the rest of the season watching one of those two run this team.

I know that he is a little older now, recovering from a serious knee injury and is probably too expensive but what about Daunte Culpepper?  He isn't on a roster right now and it sounds like he really wants to play badly this season.  He doesn't even have an agent and he is looking to just play for anyone so maybe he will take a pay cut, especially to play with a great team like the Pats.  He may never be the same as he once was after the injury but it might be worth a try considering the options are very limited.  Moss and Culpepper were a NASTY combination in Minnesota just a few years ago and it would be great to see the reunion.  It would be like watching a real life version of Madden as DC tosses bombs to Moss for 80 yard TD plays.  That is best case scenario but wouldn't that be great if it worked out?  It can't hurt to dream about the potential.

I believe Moss and DC are still good friends and always got along, so it would be a nice move to keep Moss motivated all season long as opposed to the Pats starting to lose with Cassell and Simms and then he reverts back to Moss from the Raiders and starts causing issues in the locker room.  It's a risk but it could pay off. 

This week is going to be tough as we continue to learn more about this injury and how it will affect the rest of the Pats season.

UPDATE: It's OFFICIAL. Brady is out for the season and will undergo surgery.

Um, ya. Woo, this is tough to swallow right now. Not sure how this is going to work.  I think I might be shifting my focus to the Celtics quicker than I thought...
