With the weapons at his disposal (Moss and Welker in particular) are you not the least bit disapointed with his performance so far?

You voted you are writing off the year though...

As for Cassel, it is understandable to have some disappointment, especially considering what we witnessed last year. But when we take time to reflect we realize that we have too high of expectations for a kid that hasn't started since HS behind a very shaky OL. He HAS made progress though, and I have seen enough to be confident that this offense is on the verge of breaking out.

Moss becomes null and void when the OL doesn't give enough time for a play to develop and there is no way DCs are gonna let Welker beat them as much as they did last year, though Cassel has been finding him more and more.

Given the categories, that's where I would sit. But in reality, my feelings are somewhere in between. I am not cautiously optimistic, especially after the last game. As I said, I hope they squeek in and go on a run. That is hardly cautiously optimistic.

And let me ask you two something, what is the point of being a fan if you cannot have "hope"? You must be assured of it otherwise you look to next year, how is that fun for you, what is the damn point?

I think ALL Patriots fans have some glimmer of hope in the very far back of thier minds that it COULD happen but some fans are more optimistic than others,I fall more towards the lighter side of optimism but after seeing this season which looks like a 20 horse Kentucky Derby field where there is no clear cut favorite, you can't ignore the fact anything can happen although having Cassel as your quarterback is sort of like the fat man in the circus riding as a jockey on a horse in the Kentucky Derby - its a heavy load to overcome

I know it was a late round pick, but still it was a waste of a pick and roster spot. He should have been cut in training camp.

4 INTs What the hell is this guy thinking? Or more to the point does this guy think at all? This guys has no freaking idea about when not to throw the ball.

And when does throw it is just dink and dunk. Can he throw something past 10 yards? Whatever yards they get are runs after the catch.

The moment our Pro-bowl QB went down I knew our season was over and this game just proves it.

I can't believe our idiot coach didn't have a seasoned Vet as a backup.

When is Bledsoe going to be ready to play again?

(flashback to after the Denver game 2001)

Let's admit that the quarterback you are mentioning is probably

a exceptional case.

In 2007 yes. In 2001 he had some pretty horrible games.

Funny. But in 01, we did have a vet backup, Brady just beat him out.
