God I'm so sick of hearing people proclaiming the sky to be falling, the nfl is a complete crapshoot right now we can still win the division. I still believe in Cassel.
I can take people making valid criticisms about the team right now. They deserve it. I do agree that all this Cassel bashing and the ludicrious notion that this team would have come close to winning this game with Cassel is ludicrious.
I still think Cassel can win if we correct our other problems. I think the only QBs in the NFL who would have a remote chance of winning game with the way our o-line and defense played tonight are Brady and Peyton Manning. Short of either of those guys, tonight was a lost cause. You would have needed a HOFer to overcome all the problems the Pats had tonight.
You do realize that Brady's frst year starting, the Pats' offense did pretty well with those 5 yard passes. Remember the dink and dunk? Brady had a defense that put him in position to manage the game and not have to win many games for them though.
