Edelman has a complete ACL tear

[Jeremy Igo]

Panthers at Patriots just got substantially more winnable.

 

EA curse bounced off Brady, landed on Edelman?

Nope. Pep gonna break Brady's leg. It's unavoidable.

The recipe to beating the Patriots is still the same, pressure Brady. They will still be very good and they still have Brandin Cooks but we have as good a chance at beating them as anybody.

Their defense also is another questionable spot at DE. Ealy isn't the monster they thought he was, and their standout rookie Derek Rivers is also out with an ACL.

Pretty sure they never thought Early was a "monster".

 

But this at least gives us just a glimmer of hope now instead of no chance.

Saw that this morning. Made me cringe. Seems like every year they have a major Knee injury early. Do they break their players kneecaps when they don't pay the Don?

Wise and Rivers are out.  Ninkovich retired.

We have a better two deep on paper.  Sounds insane to the national hacks, but our core was 15-1 two years ago and is substantially better now.

Brady was a 6th rounder so I get it-where you're drafted isn't the end all be all, but if it's even a smidge true we've got a more talented team.

That's supported by stats. Per ESPN, the Patriots haxe a .810 win percentage in games he's played, and they're.600 without him since he joined the team in 2009.

Regardless, it sucks that the guy went down like that, especially in a preseason game. I'd rather get a win over them at full strength, but of course will take the W....period.

There's been a lot of talk about Cam's chemistry with different receivers, and how to build more, particularly with the new guys. If you want a peek at a great example of why Brady and Edelman are so good together, check out the Sound Fx videos of the last Superbowl. There are a couple of moments in there that will make you stop and think. Examples: Edelman pumps up Brady by pushing him to get the win for his mother (who had cancer), and he essentially predicted the comeback, telling Brady they were going to make a great story, and afterwards said, I told you so (in a nice way). Opponents or not, Pats or not, it was good stuff.

We won our last head to head.  Our arch nemesis had a 25 point lead on them.  We always had a chance, and a good one at that.

Just snagged him in fantasy as soon as I saw the injury update.

[Hogmolliesmaht]

I feel bad for Edelman. I also think we had a pretty good chance to beat them before this injury.

terrible

Almost picked Edelman for my fantasy team, dodged a bullet. Hope he heals fully and has a great 2018 season.
