just looking at the schedule, this week is BIG for us...need to fire up and take care of the jets stat.

Huge week is right. Got to be more balanced and take adavantage of what Cassell can do

Yeah I'm there right behind Matt. Sucks about Tom but that's the nature of the game, he is done for now. Time to move on and focus on what's at hand now.

The past few mondays after week one have not been good to us. Now it's just 2001 all over again. Get behind him and Git R Done. I believe in this TEAM.

Ok Matt......

LOL prepare to see your name in lights!

I am not taking part in a single QB controversy thread over the next several months unless Cassel turns into Brady's twin (which I'm not expecting).

Belichick owes Cassel absolutely nothing, and there's no long-term impact to replacing him and hurting his feelings. None. If belichic decides Cassel should sit, then there will be nothing hlding him back from that decision. He didn't have that luxury with Bledsoe.

That's why I'm fully confident in Belichick's ability to make the right choices.

I'm expecting Cassel through the whole year even when we're a .500 team.

That's the key. This is a season-long audition for him and if he does well, he's as good as gone. He won't want to go back to holding a clipboard when Tom returns.

You've been pretty negative this season. You might as well change teams now if you think everything is the end of the world.

53 guys make up a team, not one

They started yesterday, and they will hold as much validity as "Brady sucks" threads did in 01

I'm on board. Go Matt. Shut all the critics up, bro.

Thanks for the words of inspiration Captain Cliche. Been negative? I didn't make a single post during the pre-season. Not one. So I'm not sure WTF you are talking about, and come to think of it, I couldn't give two ****s.

What I do know is I've been around this board long (nearly 6 years) enough to know how people will react if Cassel struggles. The board will be dominated by QB controversy threads about who should really be starting and that will get real old real quick. The bottom line is it doesn't matter who starts.
