Maybe it was the Pats were without Tom Brady for the entire season?, that was the biggest reason why they didnt make the playoffs. In the games they lost they scored 13, 10, 15, 31 and 10. With the exception of the Jets game the offense is the reason for losing games in 2008.
Who do you see thats available in FA that would be a good fit for the Pats? There are not that many available.
They couldn't stop anyone on third and long, they had no pass rush. And the biggest reason they didn't make the playoff was because of an anomaly. They actually won more games that year (11) with Cassel, then with Brady this year (10).

there weren't many last year so they waited for taylor then traded for burgess rather than addressing it in the draft
Lot of Tebow haters around on this board. Wonder how many of these folks were Rohan Davey or Michael Bishop fans?
King on D&H: Fit for Tebow, Pats?
I really dont understand why him and others think he would be the perfect fit in NE. He isnt an NFL QB, we dont need a QB right now. We dont run any gimmick offenses like the wildcat, I dont understand why this move makes sense football wise. The only connection I see is the Meyer-Belichick connection which wouldnt be a driving force for the Pats to draft Tebow.
Also, King mentioned that the Pats would be looking at Peppers and Merriman. I just cannot see BB going that route, I see him getting the pass rush help he needs through the draft.
It has nothing to do with hating Tebow. It has more do with the facts that a.) almost no one believes he'll be a good quarterback in the NFL; b.) even if he does pan out, we don't exactly need a quarterback; and c.) we have serious issues at DE/OLB, ILB, OG, WR, and RB that would all take precedence over a potential Wildcat QB and/or TE conversion project.
I agree it would be a good experiment, but like you said we have needs that we need to address in the draft. If he is available when we pick in the 4th round, maybe I would consider it, but anything before that no way.
Yes, please, let's bring in a Florida QB...they have such a good reputation for their sound mechanics and decision-making abilities!
*stifles a laugh
They did address it in the draft actually by taking McKenzie in the 3rd round. I personally would have drafted Matthews in the 1st round, but that draft is over with.
