There, I said it. That’s off my chest.
It was a divine joke. Seven minutes into the first game of the season, Tom Brady goes down and so does any hope for the Patriots.
This is not to say that it’s all Brady’s fault. First, we don’t have a backup QB worth anything. Cassel just ain’t it. I mean, Romo goes down, and you get Brad Johnson, who’s got a championship ring on his finger. Brady goes down, and you get Cassel.
Somebody get on the phone to Drew Bledsoe, or something, for the love of God.
And there’s our defense. What defense? The Chargers cut through us like a hot knife through butter. Sure, with Brady at the helm, maybe we could have turned the thing into a shootout, but a team tha’ts letting up that many points on the field — something’s wrong.
It’s just depressing. Only one real question remains: Can the Patriots make the playoffs? Given the crappiness of the AFC East, the chances are actually fairly good. Although not if they played the way they did last Sunday.
Oh, and on one other note, if I have to hear about “Joe the Plumber” anymore, I am going to become “Kip the Foot-up-your-ass Guy”.
Kip,
It’s unfortunate that you are so quick to say that the Patriots “suck”. Even more unfortunate is your criticism of Matt Cassel. I’m not sure if you know this, but sometimes it takes a QB a few games to get into the swing of things. Not to mention the time it takes for the rest of his team to adjust to him. Case in point – look at your boy Brad Johnson.
Matt Cassel has looked much more comfortable the last couple of games and has showed poise in the pocket as well as a decent rapport with his receivers. Sure, he’s not Tom Brady, but he’s a hell of a lot better than Brad Johnson or Drew Bledsoe.
I’m not sure how much you know about football, so maybe this is over your head. However, I encourage you to do some homework before making yourself look like an idiot analyzing a sport that you may or may not understand. From what I have read as far as football on your site, it appears the your friend GC shares my sentiments in this respect…
Thanks.
He SUCKS.
