Brady got hit a hell of a lot the last 2 games against the Eagles and Ravens...but he kept getting back up like its nothing. Say what you will about him, but he really is an extremely tough motherfucker who plays to win. The Patriots really need a straight-ahead back though to go right at defenses. Maroney's good, but he's a mover and shifter. Sammy Morris's injury is looking really significant these days because the Patriots are having a hard time running the ball unless its on the draw play. That is the major reason the Patriots have become so pass-happy, and it's becoming the other teams' game plan. If they can stop the run, they can blitz and try to lay the big hits on Brady before any of his receivers can get open.
And for the record, all those dropped balls nearly killed the Patriots yesterday. There were two passes that Moss and Watson dropped in the endzone that would have put the game out of reach by the 4th.
