I just want to see Cassel make smart decisions in the playoffs and play like a confident leader. I obviously want to win, but realistically, this team as a whole isn't good enough. And no, this team as a whole doesn't hold a candle to the 2001 Patriots, who by the way, shut the Greatest Show on Turf down in the biggest game of the season. |

But Cassel doesn't play defense. We can only compare what he has on offense compared to what Brady had. And I don't think the Chiefs are less talented on offense than that squad. |

Yep. Brady won that '01 Superbowl all by himself.
Damn the 1,100 rusher he had in Antowain Smith who also scored 12 TD's. Damn the 1,100 yard pass catcher he had in Troy Brown. Damn the 700+ yards he got from his #2. Damn the Top 10 defense he ALSO had. Boy I tell ya...

His receivers dropped 4 catchable 3rd down passes today in the most critical moments of the game (early on). His offensive line was below average today, but Cassel consistently escaped pressure and found spots in the pocket to extend plays. The defense played like shit early, but Cassel still played remarkably well in the first quarter (in spite of what the drive charts will tell you). Cassel wasn't a game manager today. He was a guy who played behind a shaky offensive line, an average running game today, and receivers who refused to catch the ball. Matt Cassel WAS the offense today. Just as he was against Arizona and Seattle. Those are things I couldn't say even in convincing wins against Jacksonville and Seattle. |

Who expects Cassel to take this team deep into the playoffs? I just posted the other day that I won't be that upset if they were to make it and lose in the first round, because the experience itself is invaluable. But you guys can't have it both ways. There are posts asking why we people think we can't win in the playoffs, then posts like yours that imply we're an inferior team. |

What's also infuriating is trying to debate a set of goal posts set on strobe;
Oh, if he isn't Brady, he's a failure. You gotta admit he's gotten better I think he'll be one of the elites Only 1 or teams in the league get that elite franchise I can't think of any other QB I'd rather have C'mon at least respect the strides he's made You're gonna feel stupid when he's leading a dynasty one day How can you hate on him after his numbers . . . It's enough to put you into an epileptic fit.

We are better, by far, at the RB position, and Bowe is better than any receiver on that Patriot team, but at the end of the day, I'm still a guy that believes games are won, or lost in the trenches. And the Patriots were better there on both sides of the ball.

Now if we lose it will be lit up with failure posts. Bottom line is the team and Cassel have both exceeded expectation. Yea we have warts, but we knew that. The bottom line is the team has covered the warts most of the year and have a chance to apply some wart remover in the offseason. |

The vast majority of people on CP (at least who actually made posts) were HIGHLY negative about Cassel and didn't think he would do shit this season. They were wrong, period. No need to go any further than that...They were horribly horribly wrong about Cassel... They can TRY to move the goal posts all they want to, because it makes them feel better....But deep down they know they didn't give him enough of a chance before they gave up on the kid. **** them...He is improving and has a ways to go, he proved he isn't garbage, he proved he is a pretty good QB, now lets see what else he can prove.

And as far talent comparisons, it's not that far off. The Pats had a reliable receiver in Troy Brown (the Chiefs have a wildly inconsistent receiver in Bowe), a reliable Running Back in Antowain Smith (advantage Chiefs here), and a terrific offensive line behind Matt Light, Damien Woody, and Joe Andruzzi. There is a negligible difference between the two offenses. As for the Pats' offense, they held Gannon to less than 200 yards and Garner to less than 75 yards against Oakland, forced 3 INTs against Kordell in the AFC Championship game, and held an offensive powerhouse in St. Louis to 17 points (including 2 INTs). Do you see the Chiefs' defense as being even close to good enough to help the team out in that way? It's a complete apples-to-oranges comparison. The Pats' defense in the 2001 season was absolutely dominant. |
