    Well, no one loses his job just because he's hurt...

    oh, except for Bledsoe of course. :)

    So I have this straight. Is the only reason there was any question because Brady's injury was still lingering a little or was he healthy and belichick was just trying to pick. because if brady was healthy there shouldn't have been any decision to make. not that i necessarily like brady or anything but why would you even consider going away from the guy you used all season when it's at all possible to play him.

    I wouldn't be suprised if we see some trickery from Bill on this one. Even though he has shown his adoration for Tommy.

    Yeah, there's no reason to start Bledsoe. Brady got you this far, *AND* he had a good performance until injury. It's not like he was sucking up the place and Bledsoe rescued them. They were winning with Brady too.

    I can't believe they allowed it to become a question at all.

    They should have announced right from the beginning that Brady, if healthy, was the man on Sunday. Why let it become an issue?

    The Patriots are doomed.

    Yes, but it's also a sports axiom that you never lose your place due to injury

    :rolleyes:

    <B>Yes, but it's also a sports axiom that you never lose your place due to injury </B>

    That's one of those things people love to say for no reason. Its about on the line of:

    "The customer is always right"

    and

    "Defense wins championships"

    Nice cliches... sound good, but not really true.

    Tom Brady is :cool: so :cool: . I'm happy he gets the start but I don't think he will finish the game. Sports gods always seem to get involved into these types of issues.

    Bill just wanted the Rams to have to prepare for both QB's on wednesday. It is understandable.

    Go Texans
