Pollard wasn’t running in from an upright position and lunging for the knee, which is what the NFL tries to prevent with QB…he was coming from the ground and going for the legs, which is a legitimate tackle. It’s just one of those unfortunate injuries…like Randall Cunningham getting knocked out of the first game in 1991. Hopefully Brady will turn out okay.

It was not a dirty play.

And yes, I usually root for whichever team is playing the Patriots, and yes, I may cheer when a player sacks Brady, but I’d never wish this on any player, let alone Tom Brady. Here’s to a quick recovery from whatever the injury is and to a great match-up come out game.

The majority of Pats fans don’t see this as a dirty play, just unlucky.

Here’s to a speedy recovery so we can own you without any excuses :P

with all this time off he’s about to have, Brady could probably get to know his son

HAHAHA, sorry, I couldn’t type that with a straight face

BTW, according to Yahoo!‘s Michael Silver, Brady’s gone for the year

Trying to make a play, no foul on Pollard.
This sucks big time…my night/season/year has been ruined…………

If Kevin Faulk were playing, would this have happened?? Morris was behind on his block; if Faulk were playing, you never know, but maybe he blocks his guy?

This is going to kill me. We’ve been waiting since February for Sept. 7th, Sunday at 1:00pm. It finally arrives, and 15 minutes later……

(Don’t get me wrong. I am NOT writing off the season. Just frustrated, that’s all.)

I read, on another website, that he was out for the season. They claim ESPN made the announcement earlier today. I haven’t heard anything from the team, or teamsites. That’s why I came here, I thought one of you would know the official word.

I live in L.A. and am not privy to the kinds of info you get back there. Let me know if you get any word.

If he is out, I think they can still be a contender, they will just have to adjust their offense to be more run oriented. Something I wished they had done more last year.

Just looked at the video from ESPN. Hoge and Mortenson are saying it “looks” like it will be a season ending injury. But they are basing that on pure conjecture, i.e., Randy Moss comments, the way the team is reacting, etc. They both did say, however, that we won’t know for sure until Wednesday.

I will wait for the official word. Having been in the military, i know how misleading rumors and innuendo are.

But, like I said, I still think the Patriots are the favorites to win the East. They will just have to adjust the offense, and get that defense to be even tougher. I think they can do more than most of us think. Even without Tom Brady, this is a very talented team from top to bottom. All they need to do is play well enough to get into the playoffs, then anything can happen like the Giants last year.

And I am a Chiefs fan…..I seriously believe that Pollard did not intentionally do this….and I really feel for you guys….and it sucks to se this happen….I am not a Patriots fan but i am a Tom Brady fan and I really was upset when he went down…..i wish him a speedy recovery and hope you guys can still perform well.
