Patriots lose Dont’a Hightower for season to torn pectoral

[<O>]

Really sucks we don't have stability at QB. This year is WIDE open!! I truly believe we're undefeated with Ryan at QB. Stranger things have happened. Moore can rally a team. He's done it before let's see what he's all about tonight. Sucks for Donta but finally the Pats have to deal with serious talent lost.

It won't be for long. Almost all of these anomalies will resolve themselves in one direction or the other, very soon.

We've had our fair share and then more than not fair injures.....

Quality coaching and a HOF qb helps overcome personnel losses big time. We aren't there and haven't been in a looong time. We're still working on playing football like professionals in the first half of games.

They'll grab a hobo off the streets who will wind up a multi time pro bowler. Just how it works for them.

Wake me when Belichick is out for the year with a cracked cranium.

One of their best players and on a defense that is playing awfully you really don't want that.

Feel bad for him. Really admire him as a player. But anything that hurts the Pats is good for us.

Nope. Losing Gronk hurt. Edelman hurt. 3 Olsen hurt. The question is how much. Losing Hightower will hurt against good Os. Not so much against bad Os.

I mean they even won 11 games without Brady (and WITH Matt Cassel) in 2008. They just go next man up and keep moving.
