The Patriots are just AWFUL!!!

Cassel hesitates too much. O-line can't block. Defense is OLD and SLOW! Randy Moss isn't trying anymore. Reverting back to his old form from his Oakland days.

I can't stand this anymore. Last year was perfect until the SB loss and Brady going down for the season. Life sucks.

The corners are great. Not many teams play as much man to man as denver. the problem is the defensive line not getting enough pressure on the qb. you start pressuring the qb and those two corners will make oportune plays all day long. as it is, with todays rules of course they are going to get burned playing that much man to man with the rules favoring the receiver. I have no problems with bailey or bly lining up back there.

Everyone was spoiled!

Shiz, relax.

The Patriots are 3-2 with Matt Cassel at quarterback. Not everything has gone their way as it has in recent years and thinking it would is just stupid in my opinion.

There is no clear cut team in the AFC.

The Titans at 5-0 don't scare me in a playoff game. They may well be a 12-4 type of team, but I'd take a 10-6 Patriots in that game no questions asked.

Same goes for the Steelers, Bills, etc. who have all shown they're beatable at times.

Denver will be a real test at home on Monday night next week but they should beat St. Louis the following week and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a 5-2 team head into Indianapolis a couple weeks from now.

Never again will the Patriots (nor any other team) go undefeated, so don't expect that they're never going to lose.

I am not expecting that they'll win every game. You need to face reality here. Did you not see how the Defense played last night? Vincent Jackson single handedly walked all over the Pats secondary. Deltha O'neil got burned! The D-line cannot put any pressure on the QB.

Matt Cassel on the other hand ... no comment.

Unfortunately, I did watch the game and yes, all your criticism of this team is spot on.

However, with the parity of the league (especially the AFC) I'm not ready to throw in the towel on this season just yet.

You guys have had a great team a while. You can't be the best all the time.

I am surprised to see they are doing so well, but I still think they will collapse soon.

Congrats Phils!

At the beginning of the year. All of the teams who have 2 losses or less, Pats Titans, Giants, Panthers, and Steelers, seems to have easy schedules based on opponent's current record. The Panthers and Pit seem to have the hardest schedules of the 5 teams, 28-31 and 23-27, respectively. Pats, Titans, and Giants seem to have about the same ease of schedule. I think the steelers will seriously contend for the Super Bowl once Fast Willie gets back.

have you seen the giants schedule? their last half of the season is a true test. as for the patriots, it'll be a few years before they see the superbowl again.

I am so fucking pissed off after tonight's HORRIBLE performance

Wide open dropped pass by Gaffney that would have resulted in a TD
Bonehead decision by Thomas to make it 3rd and 16 instead of 3rd in 1 with 4 minutes to go in the 4th quarter down by 3
Terrible play calling by the coaches: (1) Challenging 12 men on the field which would have had NO impact on the outcome of the game (lost a timeout). (2) Called a timeout a couple plays later in the early 3rd quarter and (3) Instead of going for it on 4th and inches on the Colts 5, they burned their final timeout and kicked a field goal instead.

YOU CANNOT BE CONSERVATIVE AND SETTLE FOR FIELD GOALS AGAINST A HIGH POWERED OFFENSIVE SCORING MACHINE LIKE THE COLTS. YOU JUST CAN'T! THE SO-CALLED "GENIUS" IN BELICHICK SURE LOOKED LIKE A ROOKIE HEAD COACH TONIGHT.

I am absolutely livid and almost punched the fucking TV. I shaved 10 years off my life because of games like this.

**Dale Mabry** · 11-03-2008, 07:32 AM

Actually, last nights game gave me a little hope. They seem to be getting better and Cassel played well. If they play mistake-free football for 4 quarters, which I think they can, they can compete with anyone. They played 3.5 quarters of mistake-free football last night and blew it on 2 stupid plays, the drop by Gaffney and the personal foul on Thomas.

The only thing that frustrates me is that Cassel CANNOT go downfield yet.
