I guess it's gotten to the point where his distraction is not worth it. Brady did fine with a bunch of number 2 receivers in the past, they'll be fine now. They got pretty far with Reche Caldwell remember???

Tate will progress, and we know he can run

it's gonna be difficult to put 2 guys on Welker when one can't even do it

thanks for your time here Randy, it was entertaining, now we have a superbowl to win
see you on Halloween

with Brett

2 is better then 1. And now that he's the #1 he'll have the #1 CB covering him. This is going to be a difficult challenge ahead of us.

Wes was Wes because of Moss.

Now that you take away a #1 and a deep TD threat you have a smaller field to defend. I wouldn't be surprised to see a LOT more screens and dump off passes. Remember wayyyy back when Brady first took over the team??? He threw a lot of short passes. He didn't have that down field guy like he did with Moss.

It was definitely a blast watching Moss play here. Hopefully someone down the road will be as exciting as he was walk through that Patriots door.

Hopefully we have some kind of picks for a gamebreaker trade up our sleeve but we NEVER TRADE PICKS! WE ALWAYS TRADE FOR THEM!!!!!!!

Rumor has it that they want this to go down before Minnesotas Monday night game against the JEts....

All this talk about Welker getting double covered and you all are forgetting about Mini Welker picking up the slack. He played a Welker style game with good production while Welker was out, and Moss was getting tag teamed. I am sure they will be fine. Not to mention Hernandez has been money with YAC.

Lets hope the team that brutalised the fish show up the rest of year...

Ol' bug-eyes Reche... I couldn't believe all the dropped passes in that game....

"Oh snap! The ball was coming to ME??"

It'll be interesting to see what they do w/o Moss. It's definitely a huge hit to the offense. I guess they'll try to use Tate to stretch the field? But he has to prove he'll be an effective deep threat before defenses respect him.

But think of it on the bright side... With that 3rd round pick, you guys will be able to get 2 6th rounders next year!

Bruschi was on SC a little while ago. Said Moss had become a locker room issue and a distraction and it was time for him to go. Troy Brown echoed the same sentiment on EEI as well. For the record: The Pats have now cleansed 3 of the 4 "Tardy Boys" from Late Gate last yr: Moss, Adalius, Burgess (and Guyton). Gonzo. Guyton is signed. So he's safe..

I agree with BigBo that he opens up the field for Brady to explore his options but outside of that...since his 50 TD year w/Brady....what has he done??? Raider Ron likes to keep saying "He is no Jerry Rice"......and he is right! Moss does not catch too many of the balls thrown his way and if the ball is thrown his way he does not catch the ball! "But he is double covered" many say???!!!! What the hell do you think Jerry Rice was up against and he made all the catches....he was able to break out in the open when he had to....Moss just doesn't seem to be able to do that! The biggest difference between Jerry Rice and any other receiver is "Yards after the catch"!!!! Onward and upward I guess????
