Interesting take on this week's coaching/QB match-up from famed Pats hater Kriegel...

Now, with the Patriots at 6-3 and their woefully inexperienced quarterback coming off a fine, mistake-free game against the Bills, my chagrin is equal to the credit due Cassel. Still, even more credit is due Belichick. To this point he's gotten more out of a guy who hadn't started since high school than Eric Mangini has gotten out of the NFL's career leader in touchdowns, yards, completions and attempts. By now you've heard a lot about Favre's difficult transition into Eric Mangini's offense. But, really, who had the tougher adjustment: Mangenius and Favre, or Belichick and Cassel?

Here's the link FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Forget Jets-Pats, it's Bill vs. Brett
 
This article is pure gold. Here's the jackpot:

Belichick isn't a nice guy; he's a proven cheater. But he's also having the best season of any coach or player in the league, including the Titans' Jeff Fisher. Consider the injuries he's had to work through:

He lost the best quarterback in football. He lost his best running back, Laurence Maroney. Actually, the entire backfield has been decimated. Sammy Morris has missed three games. Lamont Jordan has missed five straight. Kevin Faulk, who's 32, has missed a game. No matter. Belichick comes up with somebody named BenJarvus Green-Ellis.

What's more, the guys who are supposed to protect Cassel can't seem to protect themselves. Three offensive linemen that signed as free agents in the offseason were hurt before they could ever play in a game. Right tackle Nick Kaczur missed a couple of games. Right guard Stephen Neal was out until Week 7.

That would be the same week that safety Rodney Harrison was lost for the season.

Now comes more good news for the Jets: Adalius Thomas is gone with a broken forearm.

In other words, Belichick has Favre right where he wants him.

LOL - For a writer who hates the Pats, this article is a thing of beauty to Pats fans.
