If Cassel starts next week - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

Draft talk at this point in the season reflects a loser mentality. May I suggest Jets fandom for such people?

Is he as much of a slam dunk as DRC?

Just go now Briz. O'Connell isn't walking through that door...

PS This time we go OL or Brady extends his rehab through 2009.

What is actually interesting about tonight's game is not how bad Cassel looked, because we all know he leaves a lot to be desired, but he is ALLEGEDLY the best option we have right now (unfortunately).

But what stands out more to me is how the rest of the talent on this team - and there is a lot of it - can't seem to overcome Cassel's shortcomings and consistent mediocrity.

I mean the Ravens won a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer at QB, fahchrissakes! Good teams can overcome bad QBs.

This is not happening with the 2008 Pats.

Five points:

1. Our defense is horrendous right now. I can't explain this, because I look at the names and I know there is talent. Is this a coaching issue?

2. Randy Moss seems to be mailing it in. I mean Cassel makes some bad passes, no doubt (underthrown, behind players), but Moss looked like he was not even giving his all on a couple of those balls.

3. How do we get 1st and goal from the 1 and not score? Bad play calling? No desire? I really don't know the answer, but it is not easy to watch!

4. Belichick looks tired. Like he really hates even doing this whole deal without Brady and he wishes he was sitting in Jon Bon Jovi's box at a Soul game or something!

5. I don't know why there is so much sentiment against trying out O'Connell. Cassel seems to be getting more confused and more frustrated each week and even if we DO make the playoffs, how far can we possibly go with him? We might just find something in O'C that we didn't expect.

At least it would give us a reason to watch. Tonight's game was a nightmare to view!

5. I don't know why there is so much sentiment against trying out O'Connell. Really, this season is a bit of a wash in week 5. Cassel seems to be getting worse each week and even if we DO make the playoffs, how far can we possibly with him? We might just find something in O'C that we didn't expect.

At least it would give us a reason to watch. Tonight's game was a nightmare to view!

So bb wasnt tired last week and loved doing this deal without brady against the 49ers and moss wasnt mailing it in last week ?
everyone looks tired and disinterested when a team loses. lets not judge those by every loss.

That guy sucks. He was torched in the BCS championship game last year. No thanks. How's DRC working out in Arizona?

lol i didnt say i was going anywhere.

I meant im done rooting for the team to win and hopefully make the playoffs. Ill be rooting for losses and a higher draft pick.

There is no point rooting for this team to win with Cassel playing QB. The best way to improve the team is to get a high pick and add another player like Mayo.

Done how? Like as in, you're done with the team, and this board? Sorry to hear that
