I have to wonder what game you were watching...and your sarcasm shows..Insulting?? The D at the end..did a GREAT job..but THAT would have meant SQUAT,,had there NOT been a 98 yard drive by Cassel earlier...Did you miss that one? Could Brady have done any better? That was a GREAT drive by Cassel..with a 54 yard pass to Moss..did you miss that one as well? By the way..the D ALMOST blew it by allowing a long pass to Darling before they finally made a goal line stand.Success because of Cassel - Are you serious?
Game 1 - The Pats Defense avoids overtime by stopping the Chiefs inside the 5 with seconds to go
Game 2 - The defense pressures Favre much of the game and the secondary was superb in covering the receivers and Lamont Jordan moved the chains everytime he was asked to.
What you said is insulting the reason this team won those 2 games - It was DEFENSE and a controlled offense limiting mistakes
Cassel has played well considering what he is being told to do and that is manage the game and has not made rookie-like mistakes but DON'T say success in beating 2 scrub teams is because of Cassel - not true
Jordan did a great job as did the D..but it was also offensive drives that got points on the board..limited offense or not..points. And even in that game, the D had times of poor tackling on short passes allowing many more yards after a catch to occur.
This is a strong D..but nothing at this time close to the 86 Bears..or even the old Ravens.
Cassel had a large positive impact in Game one..and to a lesser degree in Game two, but to ignore that fact is just as insulting to the team.
The TEAM won both games..offense, defense, special teams..
