Matt Cassel to Moss TD, down 7 points, on 4th down!!!

Wow, Matt Cassel just drove the team from his own 35 yard line, 1 minute left, no timeouts remaining, for a game-tying touch down.

ICE in his veins.

Over 400 yards passing today too.

Win or lose, a defining game for Cassel. That took some marbles!

Can anyone confirm the following? I heard on WEEI this week that if the Patriots offer Cassel $1.5M that if another team signs him the Patriots will receive that team's 1st round draft pick. Not sure whether or not to believe it based on the source.

Nope. Whoever said that is mistakenly assuming that Cassel is a restricted free agent next year; at the moment, he'll be an unrestricted free agent.

I gotta say..... I was never big on Cassel early on, but lately, he's really taken this team on his sholders. He always willed the win tonight, despite some terrible play in all 3 phases of the game.

Cassel has actually shown multiple examples of bringing this team back in the 4th quarter, not just for this game.

The guy is resilient.

That last play was straight up amazing, a perfect throw on the run to a covered receiver to tie it up with 1 second on the clock, you won't see a better play all year. I jumped out of my chair and yelled "holy ****!", it was that good.

You have to give him a lot of credit, he has gotten so much better from the first game of preseason to now. You can still see a few bits of rookie play and jitteryness but he is really developing into a solid NFL QB.

I still want Brady back, he'd be eating the league alive right now. But Cassel earned himself a lot of money and respect tonight.

We need to sign Cassel as soon as possible. 3 years 8 mill.

The longer we wait the tougher it will be to keep him, if we want to keep him. Franchising him is a dumb move, signing him to a short multi-year deal gives us flexibility to trade but also insurance for Tom.
