I'm more worried about the defense. They will have to keep the score down. While I do think Casell can do the job, I don't know if he's ready to win any shootouts. …..I’m telling ya right now….Casell can do the job (NO I DON’T THINK CASELL WILL BE BRADY) but I think he can do a decent job.

I'm sorry, that argument is atrocious. The taping of games was a minor rule infraction. The call for harsher penalties came from the jealous frauds that sadly make the majority of sports fans in general and NFL fans in particular. Tainted? Only in your wet dreams. one of these days, someone will kindly explain to me how fans of a tough, "manly" sport like football whine more than the Mexican soccer team and a pack of European golfers combined. 3 championships in 4 seasons is a dynasty.

How is the Pats considered a dynasty right now? I didn't even consider them a dynasty when they barely won (scores of Super Bowl contests could have gone either way and when you factor in the cheating....) 3 out of 4 Super Bowls. Doesn't anyone remember they didn't even make the playoffs that 1 year? Don't you have to be a playoff team every year to be considered a 'dynasty?' Anyways- they weren't a dynasty then and they aren't now, seeing that each Manning has 1 more Super Bowl win then Brady the last THREE years. Don't you have to at least win a title to be considered a dynasty? Don't get me wrong, in this day and age, we water down every word possible, so I could see how someone would see the Patriots as a dynasty in this watered down world. And yes, that circle that you hear being closed, is KARMA. Karma has come full circle because of all of the Patriot's cheating ways and getting off lightly (yes, a # 1 pick lost is big, but the punishment should have been harsher). Well, just like in the Super Bowl against the Giants, karma has come back to bite the Patriots with this Brady injury. Never underestimate the football gods!!!!!!! Good day. Dynasty?!?!?

This coming from the same Pulitzer Prize award winner that said he had sources that told him there was a videotape of the Rams Super Bowl walkthrough. The Patriots still have an imposing defense, wide receivers that are among the league's best, and a full stable of running backs. If the Baltimore Ravens can win a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer as their QB, than the Patriots have more than a puncher's chance the rest of the way. The Patriots have a favorable schedule. The rest of the division looks weak as well. The Jets were not impressive against the Dolphins, I think the Pats can still make the playoffs, and move past the first round.

The hit on Brady was exactly what Michael Wilbon was practically cheering for last fall.

Ryan has it right: As bad as this is, injuries are a part of the game. Brady's remarkable string of consecutive starts underscores the simple fact that it was all likely to catch up to him at some point. In the end, I think this turns a 13-3 season into a 10-6 one and a Wild Card berth. No longer a prohibitive favorite in every game, the Patriots will need to scratch and claw their way through the season. I will be angry if any sports media types come forth with a 'Told-you-so' attitude. This is not the time for that, but someone like a Felger would relish the opportunity to say that 'He'd do things differently if he were King.'
