do you remove cassel who is gone anyway and give o'connell time to evaluate him going into the offseason?

I say they almost have to ......... at least that way, they'll have more experience at backup QB than they did going into this year

why woud they do that? They are trading brady and keeping cassel remember? Just kidding!

Any way, yea you would think that they would, but do they ever do what we think they would? I hope they keep winning and this isnt even an option.

Gee how many other teams dump their starting QB's when they are still in the playoff race?

This one won't either and no matter what happens this weekend, the Patriots will not be mathematically eliminated from winning the division.

they wont have to, if they lose again the brilliant fans of New England will probably run Cassel out of town 2 weeks after annointing him as an All-Pro.

I wouldn't doubt it. Afterall these are the same people who wanted to toss aside our HOF QB like he was trash until the team lost against the Steelers.

I would only see O'Connell playing if we have either the East or a wildcard spot locked up heading into the Bills game.

if the pats lose, it would require the jets losing at least 3 out of the next 4.....unless you believe that the jets will lose both home games to the bills and the dolphins.........at this point, it is unlikely the pats beat out the colts or the ravens for the wild cards

there's hope......then there's reality
