POOR GUY :frown:
‘Fragile’ Moss threatens to set back Patriots
By Charles Robinson
Tony Dungy said fragile “might be a good word” to describe Randy Moss(notes). And after watching Sunday’s 20-10 win over the Carolina Panthers, it seems to be a fitting description for the New England Patriots’ late-season momentum, too.
Only days after being sent home along with three other players for arriving late to a Wednesday meeting, Moss had one of the worst games of his career against the Panthers. His lone catch went for 16 yards and then ended with a fumble, which was recovered by Carolina. A second pass meant for Moss was intercepted. For much of the game after the turnovers, he was largely invisible, leading Dungy to agree with Dan PatrickÂ’s characterization that Moss was mentally fragile. Dungy made the statement while working as an analyst during NBCÂ’s pregame coverage on Sunday night. But that wasnÂ’t even the harshest criticism. Moss got that from some Panthers players, who told the Boston Globe he quit during the course of New EnglandÂ’s win.
Randy Moss had one catch for 16 yards against the Panthers.
“We knew he was going to shut it down,” Panthers cornerback Chris Gamble(notes) told the Globe. “That’s what we wanted to do to him. That’s what we did. … He’d just give up a lot.”
Added Panthers safety Chris Harris(notes) to the Globe: “I know everyone who plays against him, they can sense that. Once you get into him in the beginning of the game, he shuts it down a little bit.”
It’s not the first time Moss has been dogged by the “quitter” label. He raised eyebrows at times in his latter years in Minnesota, rounding off routes or seemingly running in a lower gear at times. And he was questioned more than a few times in Oakland as being a player who would take multiple plays off during games. But this is the first time opposing players have been so publicly brazen in their criticism of it. And the fact that it comes on the heels of Moss being sent home from practice only adds fuel to the perception.
In the larger view, it makes you wonder if Moss was being alluded to when quarterback Tom Brady(notes), who following the loss to Miami, said “I don’t think we fight very hard.” Even when he had a chance to back off those comments on his weekly radio appearance on Boston’s WEEI, he reiterated the stance that at times, the “digging deep” that used to define the Patriots wasn’t always showing up.
“I don’t think we fight very hard.”
Tom Brady, following last weekÂ’s loss to Miami
BradyÂ’s had a few semi-heated moments talking to offensive players this season, and on some occasions, Moss was present and on the other side of BradyÂ’s glare.
Then on Wednesday, Moss gets sent home – something Dungy seemed to openly question during the NBC broadcast.
“Randy Moss played a poor game,” Dungy said. “It probably started early in the week. I coached 13 years as a head coach. I’ve reprimanded guys. I’ve fined guys. I never sent a guy home from practice. I think that had to impact Moss.”
If anything, that this all continues to come up after a win suggests this is going to be a problem that will dog this team right through the final month of the season. For the most part, Moss has avoided the media barbs in Boston that plagued him in Minnesota and Oakland. That wonÂ’t happen anymore. His every play will be under the microscope the remainder of the season, right alongside his relationship with Brady and the players around him. If he is checking out, it will be exposed and showcased.
You have to think this is another example of the lost locker room leadership rearing its head. ItÂ’s not like Moss is the first complex and sometimes volatile personality to come through New England. But he is certainly on the verge of becoming the first one that had the potential to undermine the PatriotsÂ’ success. While linebacker Adalius Thomas(notes) has been lumped into the group of problem children, his impact can be minimized. He can be deactivated, as he was Sunday. Moss cannot. HeÂ’s too vital to the ultimate success of this team. That offense simply canÂ’t function at an elite level without him.
A week ago, we questioned whether the Patriots had lost their aura and ability to intimidate. Now some opponents have come out and called their star receiver a quitter – an act that seemingly answers the question. Clearly, some fragility is creeping in. The only question is, how far will it reach, and can the Patriots do anything to change it?
Oh My Gawd!!!!!!
that was one of the best intense Monday night games in a long time except for who won!!!
FYI - we watched the replay a couple times and #28 Peterson definetely had a face mask grab slightly before the fumble!
We are still in the playoffs!!!
Whoot!
Go Dallas!!!
Dallas may be looking good right now but we have dome power and Denny Green is nowhere to be found. Especially at the end of 4th quarter. Favre will never take a knee even if he's told to do so.
Having home advantage means alot for this game... Hopefully Dallas will lose some power not playing in that great new stadium.
who else is playing? Philly? and who?
Which road team has the best chance to win next week?
