Has Moss thrown in towel?

Randy Moss said all the right things after catching just four passes for 25 yards in the Patriots' 38-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins yesterday, but his body language seemed to tell a different story. Moss sat in solitude on the bench for most of the first half as the offense struggled. The wide receiver has yet to establish the same passing rapport with quarterback Matt Cassel he had with Tom Brady, and it hasn't helped that teams consistently have rolled a safety in Moss's direction, challenging Cassel to get him the ball. Cassel claimed he didn't notice that Moss wasn't sitting with the offense in the first half. Moss did sit with the offense in the second half, but he did not even extend his arms for a clearly overthrown Cassel pass in the third quarter. He showed some frustration early in the fourth quarter, when he threw his arms in the air, looking for a flag after an incompletion on second and 3 from the 44, and on a Cassel interception that was negated by a roughing the passer penalty, Moss did not turn for the underthrown ball.

Clueless. What an idiot. The boy can run. But everything else other than running and catching a football. Clueless. Are those guys like boyfirnds or something like it? Brady is the man on that team and Moss is just an accessory. Bellichik dont know squat, because Brady makes him look good.

Oh yeah, I forgot. The Patriots lost the biggest game ever. Sore losers. Must really hurt.

Typical Randy Moss. When it's going godd, he's all about the team. But when things go bad, he's all about himself. Planning on leaving a game early again Randy?

Not much a surprise here. Remember the Raiders? Man, that was horrible to watch. What's interesting is how the Patriots offensive staff appear to not have any trust in Cassell. They didn't let him throw the ball over 20 yards most of that game, even after it was getting away.

Randy Moss sulking!? Randy Moss isolating himself from his teammates and having a "me first" attitude!? I find this both shocking and appalling. Oh, wait...

September 23, 2008  07:37 AM ET

Uh Oh, here comes Baby Moss. You'll now start to remember that he left Minnesota because they were not a Super Bowl contender. Now that New England no longer is, lets see how is attitude starts to change.

Belichick may have to get the camera back out. LOL!!!

Cry me a river

I said this very same thing last week and everyone told me I was crazy.

Wow the Boston Globe is sounding like Boston Hearld with these story. Beause they lost one game Moss quite, I would at least play a coulpe more games before saying he quite. So what he was mad, Sh|t I would be mad to if the whole team wasn't playing harder. All star WR are like this, he cool off and came back to the bench. Well at least I will give it more games before saying Moss quite on the team. But I know Cassel is not elite QB, so they really have stick with him for now, Moss know Brady not coming out that tunnle on to the filed. Give a little bit more time before claming some one giving up, shoot what about the defense, and the offense line; this was a whole team effort.

Before jump on Moss wait a couple of games before making this clam.

That's the problem.

Moss has climbed into his "clam"....

It seems as if Moss can throw in a towl better than Cassel can throw a football
