that is all you need to know.
I think we're in for a bit of a shootout early anyway. Bowe is an excellent WR & if this revamped OL can hold it's own at all they at least stand a chance. Assuming Brady is fine we should be able to score at will though & as a fantasy owner of LJ I'm just not willing to start him against the boys in blue this week.
Im calling 28-7. Cassel throws the last TD in the 4th after they pull Brady cause they realize Herm is coaching with the "Football for Dummies" handbook like in the "Waterboy"
Saying 'Cassel throwing' and 'TD' in the same sentence is not possible.
The only thing they have going for them on offense is Larry Johnson and Gonzalez. That's about it. That team is in complete rebuild mode.
Dwayne Bowe is a dangerous player no doubt about that but if all I have to worry about is a WR then I am happy
Except there's also one of the best TEs in football on the team and a pretty darn good RB named Larry Johnson. Hey, I'm not trying to say they're an offensive powerhouse, but they do have some weapons to recon with. I'd predict a pretty high scoring affair, with NE getting the W.
Just as an FYI, they were the 2nd lowest scoring team in the NFL last season.
Jonhnson has not been great since 2006.
He was never great in the first place. He ran behind a great OL. It's why there was no beat missed from Priest Holmes to LJ. Now that line is either geriatric, retired, or gone and Larry Johnson can't find a hole (Albert notwithstanding, but he's a rookie in his first real game). They also have no passing game - Brodie Croyle is a mess and Gonzalez is slow as molasses at this point. Bowe is good but the Patriots excel at taking away a team's best player.
Their defense is pretty ineffectual too. They got rid of Jared Allen. They got Dorsey and Flowers, but again rookies in their first big game and way over their head against the class of the NFL.
38-7.
