1. Interesting and I would agree with it.

I'm wondering if Moss has the interest in playing a good game. He has been good. He had an attitude problem when he was in Minnesota. His attitude appeared to improved when he went to NE. Maybe the problem wasn't Moss in NE but the coaching staff not knowing how to best utilize him in playoff games. Playoff games have more pressure.

2. "...shiny hood ornaments on NFL offenses."

WRs are the most overrated position in football, IMO. And I say that having followed the great Jerry Rice throughout his career.

3. As a Packer fan, I say

Bring him on. The Packers will just have to take him down along with the Minnesota qb.

4. The timing is interesting, too.

Because the Pats have a Bye this week, and the Vikes had their Bye last week, it means Moss gets no Bye week at all this season. A little last jab by the Pats??

MIN plays @ NE on Sunday, Oct. 31. Scary!

5. Vikings play the Jets this weekend.

That helps the Pats if Moss shows up.

8. Jets already beat Moss & the Pats once this season...

and they were going to have to face him again anyways if he stayed with the Patriots.
He might as well get his whooping over with sooner rather than later.

6. LOL

The CHFF guys are good, but they are Pats homers through and through. They're confusing correlation and causation. We'll just have to see how this season plays out for both teams, I suppose.

7. I agree

with confusing correlation and causation. This article doesn't really say anything except the Pats had a better post-season record before Moss. There is a lot of factors that could play into that and many doesn't involve Moss. Perhaps it was losing veteran defensive players one-by-one through the years. Teams they played are different and therefore use different schemes to beat the Patriots.
