Cassel is king in clutch drive

This was supposed to be the fall the rest of the NFL finally caught up to the New England Patriots.

The Pats are winning games and getting younger at the same time . They have a good shot of making it deep into the playoffs...

...only to lose since they have been playing a cupcake schedule.

See me in January with your lame hopes.

I'm in agreement here...

January fool. This is October.

I don't know if we will make it to the Super Bowl - but I believe that , if he works hard, Cassel will at least lead the Pats to a creditable showing for the season. Take a look at the injury list, Brady, Maroney, Harrison and several other starters. I don;t think , they are doing all that bad considering the situation.

Finally, someone with a clue speaks out.

The Patriots certainly have been holding their own dispite the injuies, seemingly overcoming them. However, they have not been thouroughly tested, and won't be until later in the season when they play Buffalo twice and Steelers. Arizona is also a question mark, but most of the remaining schedule does pose much of a threat. Also, the AFC East is not exactly a powerhouse, especially considering that the Dolphins currently lead with divisional wins. I would pick NE over Indy this weekend, and a 9-7 finish is not an unrealistic expectation. Therefore, it's not much of strecth to imagine a playoff birth, but a Super Bowl appearance is highly unlikely. But, stranger things have happened, and from what we've seen this year, nothing would surprise me.

Oops!

That is: does NOT pose much of a threat...

He was a Queen today vs the Clots.
