The Pats NEED to start O'Connell next week...Cassel just cant cut it

[Seymour93]

The trading deadline is on Tuesday. BB and Pioli need to get a QB in here like how they traded for Ted Washington or Corey Dillon. We can get somebody else's decent backup.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Its pathetic that the Pats havent allready realized that Cassel is horrible and not the answer.

Yeah I mean, you're the expert. Who the hell is this Bill Belichick guy sticking with such an awful QB this long.

 

[jcrack]

this game is all i can take from cassell..after the miami game i thought he was just having a real bad game but now i know for a fact that he just cant cut it..when hes under pressure his brain freezes & just throws it to nobody..its sooo frustrating i dont even know how he made it as a backup

 

[MoLewisrocks]

I think he needs an OL and a FREAKIN'#1 WR... Moss is a shell of the player from 12 games last season - and that was what it was...12 games. Given time Cassel can make the throws, just seems lately the captain can't catch a cold...

Are you insane? Maybe if Cassel didnt underthrow him by yards every pass or throw behind him. Thats the dumbest comment ever made common now. That was just unbelievable how do you want him to make a catch on a ball when Cassel throws it 5 yards short and he has to slow down and lose his step on the defender. ugh that comment was so frustrating

 

[WeezyFbaby]

Hey Mo i guess that little ditch pass to moss there Moss was magically supposed to turn that into a 30 yard gain right? i bet your pissed he went down and didnt get nailed by the LB ya know cus Cassel just left him completely out to dry there.

the defense isn't helping anything... they are teh suck ass tonight.

 

[Deus Irae]

Moss missed 3 passes he should have caught. The first two he missed changed the course of the game. But let's all blame Cassel.....

the refs dropped one too but that was also Cassel's fault.

The problem is we including myself are all spoiled. 16-0 last yr. The defense maybe was this bad last yr. Thomas, Bruschi, Vrabel all look old and tired out there. It's time to add speed to the LB and Secondary.

uh huh... you are right.

i blame the OC on some of it.

there are some dumb ass plays so far.

And which 2 are these? The one where he made the catch and the defender made a great play to knock it loose? or the one up the sideline where it was underthrown and he had to slow down thus giving the defender time to catch up and get a hand in?

just curious were those the 2 you speak of?

Yes, those two. They were both balls that Moss should have come down with.

I don't think there are too many people on this board who think Cassel is going to be a great NFL QB. But we're only trying to get through the next 11 games here and somehow sneak into the playoffs.

Cassel at least is familiar with the offense and certainly has the arm, size, and speed to be decent. What he doesn't have is pocket pressence and he doesn't yet seem to be on the same page as his receivers.

The hope is that a little more time seeing game action will address those problems.

I think so long as the Pats are at .500 or above that Cassel will be the QB. The only way O'Connell sees significant time is if the season really goes in the tank and the playoffs look impossible.

The die was cast in the first quarter on both sides of the ball. We couldn't stop Jackson and Moss couldn't catch 2 catchable balls. Had the same problem in his brief encounter with Tommy this season... If he had it would have been tied at halftime. Leaders are playmakers and playmakers step up and make plays. That's what that 2001 team did for the backup they played with. But 7 years removed from that team, this one has struggled with focus and consistency for much of the last 3+ seasons.

What about the ball where moss beat coverage he didn't try for it. he could have dived for it.

 

[WeezyFbaby]

Yes, those two. They were both balls that Moss should have come down with.

Well in that case if Cassel had thrown it properly and didnt force moss to slow his route and let the defender back in the play and he missed it i could understand your point but that one is soley on cassel in my books. The other one he had the catch it should have been ruled a fumble and patriots ball where it went outta bounds. the replay clearly showed he had control again u can fault him for a fumble but not dropping the ball...

What is comical is that they don't get if O'Connell was ever going to start they would have put him in for some experience 15 minutes ago... Cassel isn't the problem.

O my bad i forgot Randy is really Superman in a pats uni. COMMON MAN!!! the ball was a good 8 yards behind him! tell me any human being who could "dive" for that and even get his fingers on it. With your theory why didnt the CB "dive" for it and make such an easy catch

$9M superstar WR's make those plays in big games...
