I think two favorite whipping boys on this board (well one is former) deserve a lot of credit for this. Both Cassel and McDaniels deserve a lot of props for this. Cassel has been playing near Bradylike the last month or two. People said this year would be the true test for McDaniels, more so than last year, and it seems pretty clear he passed with flying colors. The sad thing is that we may find out next year how much the guy really meant to this team.
Exactly. Ironically, the reason the record has fallen off isnt because of the loss of Brady, its mostly because of the falloff of the defense and special teams. Thats a credit to Cassel and McDaniel. As ive said, only the Colts loss might have been different with Brady. The other 4 not at all.
And lets give a little credit to Bill Belichick, who once again, has the Patriots playing there best football in December. If they pound the Bills next week and get in as the #3, tell me, what team would want to play them???
can our offense stay as productive against the tougher defenses like the Steelers and Titans?
that is....
shows that cassel is not that FAR off from brady...
It shows just how good our offense was last year that we're losing 10 PPG and are still that high up. I think the deterioration of Moss and our O-line has been greatly exaggerated.
Imagine how the Pats would be if they didn't have a Cassel learning curve or o-line issues earlier in the season. The Pats might have come close to last year's offensive performance.
I remember when John Clayton said that the Pats wouldn't even average 17 PPG with Cassel at the helm.
What everyone on this thread saying is everyone thinks Brady makes no difference. I guess you are all saying to trade Brady and keep Cassel. Your comments are saying this.
