You're stating opinion, not fact with your analysis of the position strengths and weaknesses.(even though most people would agree with your comparisons.
However, it's 2008. New year with possible different results. The Jets could make a run this year with Favre. Guy's almost 39 years old but can still play his ass off.
And by the same token, you only beat KC by one score at home despite being so incredibly talented at all the skill positions. KC won 4 games last year.
And Cassel is not the Brady of 2001, let alone 2008. Matt Cassel can only be Matt Cassel over the next 15 games. We'll see how it plays out.
Opinion? Thats fair, but tell me where I was wrong. Offensive line ( Mankins,Light,Koppen, Neal)...Wr's (Moss, Welker, Gaff)....rb's( Jordan, Maroney, Morris, Faulk)....Tight ends ( Watson, Thomas)...Defensive line(Seymour,Wilfork,Warren, Wright, Greene)....lb's ( Vrabel, Mayo, Alexander,Thomas, Crable, Bru). Also, I never said that the pats O did well after they lost Brady. I would think Cassel starting with NO practise might have affected how he worked a little. Starters take 90% of the snaps leading up to game day. Even so, he had a great game. Imo the jets are better, but aside from qb,cb and Saftey, the pats are deeper at every position.
I never said Cassel was Brady in 2001, but I bet you any sum of money that you have never seen Matt play before last week, and thats not a knock on you....only NE fans knew who the hell he was. Your right, he is not even in Brady's world, but all he has to do is manage a game. Your own Trent Dilfer proved you can be totally average and win. Tom made the throws he needed to make when he first started. The pats didn't open things up for him at first.
I think the Jets are a MUCH better team, but I think the Bills are better. The Jets could beat the pats this weekend, I wouldent be shocked at all, but I don't bank on them winning the east...not by a mile.
