Ty Law done for the season!

[BoSox Rule]

ESPN Radio reports Ty Law has been placed on injured reserve with his foot injury, ending his season.

All of New England feels like they were just punched in the gut. First guess, we expect Randall Gay to start opposite Asante Samuel in the playoffs. Troy Brown will get plenty of time covering the slot, with Eugene Wilson moving to cornerback occasionally, and Don Davis moving to safety. If Belichick pulls this off, they should induct him to the Hall of Fame the day after the Super Bowl. Jan. 7 - 4:06 pm et

s***. Its not like we havent been winning with Gay and Samuel though.

[stevece80]

Winning against Manning without Law? Face it, the team can't make as much contact in the secondary as they got away with last season, it's going to be a tough time against the Colts' receivers. The Patriots better hope for a snow storm to level the playing field a bit, or it could get ugly without Law.

[stocker323]

As I said to you before, we haven't been facing any real good QB's as of late. When we have to go up against Peyton, we may be in trouble.

[YanksHater213]

If our offense keeps playing the way they have the impact of this wont be as hard felt either. I still think we are capable of beating anyone in the NFL with the team we have. Especially with the best coach in the NFL.

[Yanksin2010]

Pats are pretty much done.

[Shadow29]

Patroits are a good team, thats a fact, but with this injury and countless others you cant expect them to beat tghe great offensive and efensive teams. They lost he the Dolphins Defense and just as well may lose to the OClts Offense or Broncos Defense. Let alone a win here will still be hard vs. the All-round good Steelers or Chargers. Finally if they amke teh Super Bowl, which i doubt, they will be facing a good offensive teram adn good QB on any team tehy face, whetehr it be Favre, mcNabb, Vick, Culpepper or one of the otehrs. I guess its an every other year ordeal with the PAts it seems.

[YanksHater213]

Heh, funny how they won the 2001 and 2003 Super Bowls with worse teams than they have now. The last two they had no RB. With the best coach in the NFL we are far from done.

[BoSox Rule]

We're still going win the Super Bowl.

[YanksHater213]

I love how everyone is jumping off the bandwagon. We are 28-4 in the last two seasons. Show a little respect. Remember last year or 2001, I forget which, but the first 9 weeks, we had a total of 9 people injured for the first 9 weeks and still won the Super Bowl. This injury will not help us, but with Dillon, we are able to CONTROL THE CLOCK and KEEP THE DEFENSE OFF THE FIELD. They will still win the Super Bowl.

[stocker323]

In Belichick we trust.

[YanksHater213]

Word.

Technically I was never on the BAndwagon since I am Detroit lIons Fan, and I am being realistic. They are good but Coaching adn a decent offensie isnt goona beat these great teams. Your defense has won teh SB for you the last two times. It has been seriously weaken this playoff run. I just cant see them winnin this year.

[YanksHater213]

Heh, the offense isnt decent, its great. All but one game we scored 20 or more points, and in the one they didnt, they still one.

[Shadow29]

You only faced 3 good team the entire season and won:

1. Colts

2. Ravens

3. Jets

 

These 4 were Mid level but not great teams:

1. Buffalo twice (though the first time they were sub par)

2. Seattle

3. St. Luois

4. KAnsas City (No D)

 

ANd the rest was crap. Not e that you lost to the Dolphins D and teh Superior Steelers. So you can beat 2 AFC playoff teams and 2 NFC, though .500, teams. So you offensive did get a boost from these meh teams and crap teams. I still see the other teams as a better team the the PAts.

[BoSox Rule]

The Pats aren't going to lose to a rookie in the playoffs.

[YanksHater213]

We lost to the Steelers because Dillon didnt play. It would have been much closer had he played. Also Law got hurt in that game and didnt play the last 3 quarters, so we could have easily won that game had we been healthy. Then, Miami just outplayed us and wanted it more, we just sat back and played with no intensity.

 

We shut down the ferocious pass attack of the Rams (Bulger, Bruce, Holt) with a makeshift secondary.

 

We beat Buffalo twice, who was one of the best teams the second half and has a top 5 defense.

 

We beat the Jets twice, a playoff team.

 

We beat Peyton Manning. One of the only teams to only allow 1 touchdown to him.

 

Also, tell me the teams you think are ahead of the Patriots.

[Shadow29]

If they can lose to A.J Feeley anything is possible

[BoSox Rule]

If they can lose to A.J Feeley anything is possible

 

One friggin game. If Brady doesn't throw that ball from his ass I'm not even quoting this post.

[Shadow29]

Personally, I think Colts can beat them with LAw injured, hes that important.

The Chargers have a good team though they never faced each other so If have little back up. HTough Brees has done amazing and they are like the top scoring team in the NFL.

The steelers can win, though it depends on whether or not Ben plays well and doesnt chock, though that will be determined when they face teh Chargers.

The Jets wont win period.

The Broncos will most likely lose though their defense is amaziong and coudl cause problems for them.

They still can make the Super Bowl but I dont think they will win is all.

[BoSox Rule]

If they make the Super Bowl they win in a cake walk. The NFC sucks.

[YanksHater213]

The Colts do not have a defense though. We would be at pace with them scoring points.

[Shadow29]

Actually only half teh NFC playoff teams suck, teh PAckers, Falcon and Eagles are all good team. Though Eageles with no TO will have probs.

[Shadow29]

The Colts do not have a defense though. We would be at pace with them scoring points.

Yeah I will give ya that much. Though the Chargers and Steelers have both sides covered.

[BoSox Rule]

You're also overlooking the fact that we are on a 16-0 home run.

[YanksHater213]

The Chargers have beaten only two quality teams all year, Jags and Broncos. They beat Carolina, but during their 1-7 streak. There is no way they are able to beat us, I think. Their recieving core sucks, except for Gates. Brees has yet to beat a really tough and confusing defense. LT hasnt really run the way he did last year all season long. I think that we are able to beat these guys too.

Chargers Schedule

@ Texans -W

Jets - L

@ Broncos - L

Titans - W

@ Falcons - L

Saints - W

@ Raiders- W

@ Chiefs - W

@ Colts - L

Chiefs - W

 

None of the people they beat really impress me except Jags and Broncos, past that, they havent faced nor beaten quality opponents.

[Shadow29]

yeah they dont jump out at ya but you know those team defense isnt nearly that bad, excluding the chiefs.

[YanksHater213]

and raiders, saints and texans... and during the 1-7 streak the panthers defense sucked too.

[Shadow29]

Texans Defense is pretty good, you may be right on the other two, I dont see many Raiders games in Philly

[YanksHater213]

Also they only faced 4-5 winning teams.
