Pats-vs-jets_medium

Here's your game thread, Patriots fans!!  There's lots of questions to be answered: Can Matt Cassel take the reins?  Can the defense stop His Cheese-ness?  As JHR says, we're all football fans again.

On the plus side, I bet you see every Cardinals game!

Am I right? Huh? How about them apples!

We'll only know that over a whole game--

but he is making calls that are in a “comfort zone” for any NFL-caliber guy. Short timing routes, a couple of nice reads, some stuff designed to make space for the receiver. He could/should have his wes in the back quarter of the endzone, though—that would have been a big-time throw.

I’m waiting for Randy to get involved…

Yah.

If you’re gonna do that, give me edwards as a lead or in H-back formation, too. Beef it up and go straight ahead.

No movement on Jenkins.

But that was gar-bage by Moss

Phil Simms:

I know what you don’t know. I’ve always known Matt Cassel was a great QB. The Pats are the best.

Things go wrong, look for Phil to have predicted that, too.

Matt looked a little yippy on that last one.

And freakin’ Maroney needs to just run and stop looking for the homerun. He gave back 4 yards on that run.
