Can you link me to that? I'd love to watch it too but I only have rabbit ears on my TV. Old school until I have a bigger budget.

man, are most Patriot fans d*ckhe@ds? the game was played in the pub up the road from my work this afternoon where we frequent on friday's, and there were two Patriot fans there on holiday here. One of the guys has to be the rudist person i've ever met.

starting shouting for the jets to win towards the end just upset them up even more, even better that they actually did win!

[Vinny]

What a great game...I thought Belicheck blew it by going for the TD too early and passing up the easy FG early in the game when there was plenty of time left and a margin that wasn't big enough to panic about...the game never goes into OT if he just takes the damn FG.

It's not just Patriot fans, it's Boston fans in general.

Any chance of Matt Cassell being a free agent?

[Texan_Bill]

I thought it was just Red Sacks fan... well up until Super Bowl XXXVIII. Those clowns that came down here were punks and jerks. I was leaning for the Patriots to win going in (AFC thing), but it didn't take long for me to hope the Carolina Panthers kicked the crap out of them....

Why? Do you think that the Texans should take a look at him?

[bah007]

Did anybody else see that throw Cassell made at the end of the game?!

On the move he still threw a perfect dart in the ONLY spot Moss could have caught it in bounds away from a defender. And he did it knowing that the game was in his hands.

One of the top throws of the year IMO.

Couldnt be happier for the Jets, I like seeing them do well... I also am a big Brett Favre fan... I cant stand the Patriots (obviously) But the was one of the best games ive seen in a while.... 49'ers and Arizona was a good one to.... Hopefully the Bengals and Steelers will follow that path lol... Maybe an upset coming...hmmm.....

CASSEL READY TO CASH IN?
Posted by Mike Florio on November 14, 2008, 11:06 a.m.
Overshadowed by the Jets’ 34-31 overtime win against the Patriots is the stellar performance of New England quarterback Matt Cassel. With New York intent on taking away the run, Cassel completed 30 of 51 passes for 400 yards, three touchdowns, and no picks. He also rushed for 62 yards, making him (or so they told me on ESPN this morning) the first player in league history to throw for 400 and run for more than 60 in the same game.

Cassel capped his night with an ‘81 Montana-esque rollout to the right sideline and a needle-threading throw to Randy Moss, for the touchdown that forced the extra session.

But the seventh-round pick from the 2005 draft will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, and he likely has done at least enough this season (especially after last night) to prompt a team that otherwise would be inclined to take a flier on a passer in round one of the draft to offer Cassel something along the lines of $60 million over six years, with $25 million or so guaranteed.

With Brett Favre possibly retiring (and costing $13 million in salary and cap space if he doesn’t), the New York Jets might be very interested Cassel. Other potential suitors could include the Chiefs, the Vikings, the Bears, the Lions, the Buccaneers, the 49ers, the Rams, and the Seahawks.

Of course, this presumes that the Pats won’t try to keep him. But while guys like Marshall Faulk of NFL Network think that Cassel could pull a Bledsoe on Tom Brady, it’s highly unlikely that the Pats would ink Cassel to a long-term deal and put Brady on the block. (As Cris Collinsworth jokingly observed after Marshall made his case during the pregame show, perhaps someone has dropped something on Faulk’s head.)

The Pats knew in 2001 that Brady could be better than Bledsoe ever was. But Cassel is no Brady.

Still, we don’t rule out the possibility of the Patriots using the franchise tag on Cassel (which would guarantee him a 2009 base salary of more than $10 million), and then perhaps trying to trade him. (They’ve done that before with safety Tebucky Jones.) The challenge will be to have enough cap space available to devote to Cassel. But if a trade can be lined up before the clock strikes twelve on the opening day of the 2009 league year, the Pats could unload Cassel’s cap space — and then use it on new free agents immediately thereafter.

In our view, that’s the more likely scenario. Cassel will still get a starting job of his own, and he’ll still be paid more than handsomely. But the Patriots will also legitimately finagle the system in order to get something of value in return.
