Default Tony Dungy: "The Patriots are doing a little bit better than we are"

Quote:
"[The Patriots] are doing a little bit better than we are, but I would say neither of us has played up to our expectations so far.''
I found this to be a dumb quote, for two reasons.

1) Having a two game lead on you halfway into the season isn't "a little bit better". You've been outscored by 13 points while we've outscored our opponents by 21 points. We are in first place in our divison, you are one game behind the final Wild Card spot.

2) Our expectations went from Super Bowl to bubble playoff team about 20 minutes into the season, we're 5-2 with a high school QB.

Please don't slam St. Dungy, It's very disturbing to me.

I'd say after the 1st quarter of the first game of the season, the Pats have played above expectations.

Dungy is crap. When he retires and becomes a sports commentator, he'll be the same as Marshall Faulk - will pick against the Pats every time no matter what the circumstances.

Sorry Deb, But I can't see TD as a sports commentator. My first gut reaction would be....he has no personality.

But I may be wrong too. Emmit Smith is getting paid.

You are being hyper-sensitive and hyper-critical of Dungy. The wording is not meant to indicate an exact assessment. If you were to analyze Belichick's statements with the same critical perspective you would conclude that Belichick is a clueless idiot.

If Cassel were truly a HS QB he would have been cut in preseason if not before. He was an inexperienced backup. Green Bay is also doing well with an inexperienced backup (one who has almost the identical amount of pro experience, in fact).

I fixed your post for you. [Get your propaganda straight! ]

Who said this year?

Seriously, though, I'm hoping it happens, if only because it might make Gregg Eastersuck's head explode. [OK, so it's not a Super Bowl MVP. But it might still suffice. ]

Quote:
It was bad enough when the Patriots used a sixth-round pick on quarterback Tom Brady, who'd had a fairly ordinary college career, then turned Brady into a Super Bowl MVP. Now they've used a seventh-round pick on quarterback Matt Cassel, who didn't even start in college. Please tell me New England will convert him into a tight end or maybe a defensive tackle. Please don't tell me he's another future Super Bowl MVP quarterback.
