It is what it is......

Tom Brady is down for the year. Deal with it! I was watching the play and there is just no way to avoid what happened. It wasn't a dirty hit. "It is what it is...."-Bill Belichick...there is no other apt description. There has to be a backup plan and now the Patriots will test it. Tom Brady didn't play in the pre-season...was this a good decision...probably. Do you think Manning looked comfortable in his first game back from his surgery? He looked like a deer in the headlights...the Colts got run over by the Bears....just killed. I picked the Colts in the elimination pool because it was their first game in their new stadium etc. I didn't account for the fact that Manning sat out the whole pre-season ala Tom Brady...I just thought it was another precaution. I wonder if Phillip Rivers did permanent damage to his knee in the AFC title game against the Pats? He had a torn ACL no? 130 games straight is a great accomplishment for Brady but injuries happen. It could be worse...it could have happened right before the playoffs. Now they can do something about it. It's a bad beat but who wants to hear about bad beats anymore? Deal with it and lets see if they prepared for the worst case scenario. By the way....Brett Favre should have stayed retired. I hope he throws those hail mary passes this week. I won't matter if the Patriots have a QB if the defense gets their hands on those meatballs.......
