yahoo is actually projecting Palko to get 17 points this week. I would be very surprised if he does that.

Amen to this brutha

Matt didn't even play in college so he's one up in that regard.

Like others have said, I'm just glad someone else is out there now. Watching Cassel every week is bad for your health it makes you in a bad mood lol. I know Palko won't do much better probably but a change was needed. You can't keep banging your head into a brick wall and expect to break through. That's Cassel.

Why do the Chiefs get a Monday night game?

I wish the NFL would of rescheduled this game on a regular Sunday after noon. At least it would prevent this team from being in the spotlight and more importantly save them from the embarrassment.

Good point.

I'm guessing we won't have any spotlight games next season after this abortion of a team.

Here are Patriots coach Bill Belichick's thoughts this week on scouting Palko:

What do you know about Palko?

Belichick: He’s a player we have to do some work on and spend more time watching him. We of course haven’t seen a lot of him in regular season game film. We can go back to preseason. I’d say an athletic player, quick release, can move around back there in the pocket, left-handed, and sees the field pretty well. I think they have a lot of confidence in him. He played ahead of [Ricky] Stanzi this year in preseason and I know Stanzi is a guy they drafted. There’s a lot to like about him too, so we’ll have to be ready for both those guys. Obviously he played well enough to move into that second spot. Again, we all know from the 2008 season here and many other examples of teams we played against. Everybody wrote us off in 2008 when we lost Tom [Brady] and Matt [Cassel] led us to 11 wins. We’re playing against a football team, not just one player. We know that whoever they have in there, whether it’s Palko, Stanzi or whoever it is, that we’re going to have to play a good football team. Again, this is a team that won their division last year. They have good coaches, they’re well coached, they’re disciplined [and] they have good depth.

What other avenues can you utilize to get a gauge on his tendencies?

Belichick: That’s really all we can do and that’s what we have to do -- we have to look at the film that we have available. Fortunately we have plenty of film available with him in their offense. It’s hard sometimes when you see a player and the only film you have on him is when he’s with another team, running another offense and now you’re trying to project that skill set into an offense that doesn’t match up with the player, but in this case it does. I think any coach that loses a starting quarterback, when you bring in whoever the other quarterback is, you certainly want to play to that player’s strengths to a degree but at the same time you can’t have two different offenses -- one for this guy and one for that guy. It’s impossible, you can’t do that. Obviously to keep the consistency there for the other ten players who are all good players and are playing well, there has to be some carryover for them. Then the quarterback does what the offense requires him to do and you make some modifications for him because of his skill set, but you just can’t change everything that you do because one guy steps onto the field or it kills the other 10 guys.

Over on Patriot Planet they are calling this game their trap game.

I wonder how easy it was for him to say that with a straight face?

About the only thing we have going for us over the next 5 weeks is that we are the other team's trap game.

Sorry if this has been clarified but is Stanzi gonna be active now?

Palko is the next Mark Brunell!!!! :):):):)

Arenas is going to be the backup QB

Yep.

Active as a quart of yogurt.
