STRANGE SIMILARITIES ??

Now, before you go and accuse me of crowning Matt Cassel the NEXT Tom Brady, let me explain. That's why I title the post "Strange Similarities". Cuz it's getting strange...

Yesterday Matt had and impressive game and win over the struggling Buffalo Bills......except for the one fumble, he had a solid and impressive game with no picks thrown.

By the way, thanks to the 1000's of Bills fans who came to Gillette yesterday to enjoy some NE style tailgating and our fine stadium..........It was cool to see the support they have and the throngs of them who showed up for the shellacking. They were fun to meet and very classy......great fans......great to meet the ones I did.....A long ride back to Buffalo I'm sure....

After watching the first nine games, it appears to me that Matt is adjusting and improving. Many on sports radio after the game were calling in to say its just a product of the "system".....that you could plug my 16 year old son in there, and he would be excelling just the same..........poppycock!!! Cassel is growing as a player, learning from his errors, and frankly, becoming better. Look at the numbers of him and Brady in their first nine games.........please....it took me an hour to dig up and add the figures !!! ....except for the touchdown passes its "Strangely Similar"....

Brady - 173-260 66% 7 picks 16 TD's 1823 yards

Cassel - 156-233 66% 7 picks 7 TD's 1566 yards

The numbers don't lie. Granted Brady had two stellar games against New Orleans where he threw 4 TD's and the stinker in Denver where he through 4 picks in one game. My point is that all the Cassel bashers can calm down a bit.

Thursday will be the biggest test of all when we play our second game in four short days against Crybaby Brett Favvvvvvvv-re and the J-E-T-S. Pats 27 Jets 24
