You don't know what you got 'till its gone.

So Tom went down with less that a full quarter of the NFL season complete for the Patriots.

It's amazing, it almost seems scripted, with all the talk on local sports radio about how for some reason, this year we were in total peril if Tom Brady goes down.

Well, he did, but it's amazing the amount of joygasms going around the country over this, especially on NFL Network with Sharpe and Faulk.

All of a sudden the Patriots are garbage. First, Brady was a system QB who wouldn't do good outside of Belichick's system. Then, the Patriots success was all due to cheating, not throw both of the others out the door, Tom Brady was everything and we have no chance at all.

Well, I have to say, I look at our schedule, we still can make some noise. If we beat the Jets, it will quiet a lot of voices for a couple weeks at least. We're back to 2001. No, Cassell is not Brady, and this is not another Brady/Bledsoe incident in the making, but now we're back to the same basic formula. The QB is no longer the main star. Now, we just need the QB to execute and not turn the ball over. The offensive weapons we have and that running game? We can still make a run for the division and the playoffs.

Who knows what the future holds this season. Yes, the power in the AFC has been shaken up, but now we're simply one of a group of teams instead of that one that everyone is hoping to surpass. Much more of a bar room fight now.



In Belichick and Cassell we trust
