Tough Deal For Vince

The Pats took a big hit Sunday in their win over the Falcons when they lost Vince Wilfork for the season with a torn Achilles. It was a big blow to the team to lose one of the defensive leaders.

There had been talk about Wilfork losing a step this year because of his age. Others thought he might have been hurt. It's all irrelevant at this point.

Wilfork will be 32 shortly and faces an uncertain future. He's at the age when guys in his position start to show signs of slowing down. It will be a long rehab for the big guy. I hope we have not seen the last of Vince, but you never know.
