Nasty "dirty' hit on Tom Brady, but Patriots beat Chiefs 17-0

Randy Moss on 'dirty' play

Various Patriots players were asked their thoughts on the hit that knocked Tom Brady out of today’s game. Receiver Randy Moss was the most outspoken about the play:

“I don’t really want to get into it, but me personally, I think it was dirty,” he said.

“Like I said, I didn’t really see anything; I was running down the field. When I came back in , it looked dirty to me. I’ve never been a dirty player. I honestly don’t even know how to play dirty. I just play the game. Any time you see something like that, that looks foul, it looks dirty, it opens your eyes. So, me personally, it looked dirty.”

1. Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Jeez, no wonder the Patriots are loathed by the rest of the league. I saw that hit..The guy was NOT going for the knee.
And having it said by Randy "bad attitude" Moss isn't lending credibility. I pretty much guaruntee that if it was KC complaining about a dirty hit on their QB it would be WAAH--everyone is jealous of the pats...

BTW--"I didn't really see anything..when I came back it looked dirty to me.." Really Randy? You now have eyes in the back of your head...:eyes:

Ahh yes, Karma . . .

6. If there really was karma, Katrina would have wiped out the Manning family n/t

[Dinger]

7. Whoa, That's A Bit Harsh

Even I wouldn't want that for the Mannings or anybody, including Brady.

[joeybee12]

10. Ok, wiped out their house so they were so distraught they never

went near a football again!

[Dinger]

11. Well, Okay Then

I guess that'll work.

[joeybee12]

12. Good!

22. If we're playing the karma game, now we know what happens when you cheat by taping signals

4. Meh..this Pats fan has no problem with the hit.

8. Randy is biased. The hit wasn't dirty. The league has stated such.

The talking heads also stated it wasn't dirty.

In my own opinion, it's just an unfortunate incident. Sucks for us fans of the league though (and of course for Brady and Pats).

14. VIDEO

Not disagreeing but this is the video.

There IS an unwritten rule about going at knees...just saying

24. But Pollard was finishing the play

and Brady still had the ball when he lunged for him.

9. I saw the game

and the play several times when they replayed it, and I didn't think it was dirty. While you're not supposed to hit the QB in the legs, it didn't look intentional at all.

13. Brady's now finished for the season--tore his ACL.

Congratulations, Pat haters--you got what you wanted. Happy?

15. Not yet

Now I'm going to enjoy watching them suffer from the loss of a key player for another 15 games. It happens to other teams every year, but I always hear "Injuries are part of the game, they'll just have to suck it up." Can the Patriots suck it up, or are they just Brady's supporting cast?

[sniffa]

18. They're quite happy actually

I hear there's a classy thread about it.

[frylock]

23. bwahahaha!

are you for serious?!

[MrSlayer]

16. The guy didn't purposefully go after his knee.

The Steeler hit on Carson Palmer in the playoffs a few years a go was deliberate, this was not.

[JVS]

21. Kimo (now an Eagle) broke no rule and was playing legitimately.

Of course, they changed the rules for safety's sake

[cboy4]

17. Oh please.

It's football, not ballroom dancing.

[Forkboy]

19. What cboy said.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

20. 17-10

But who is counting?

[Ganja Ninja]

25. If it was a dirty hit why haven't the Pats protested to the NFL?

It may have looked dirty but the guy was blocked into Brady by a Pats lineman. :eyes:
