Matt Cassel

picks.  The Patriots kept it close for a while, but their 5 turnovers sealed their fate.  Matt Cassel didn’t stand a chance against the Steelers defense once they fell behind.  You just can’t give the ball away that many times to a quality team and expect to win…not in the NFL!

pect for the entire organization because of Spy-gate, especially Bill Belichick.  I have given Matt Cassel a lot of grief, but I also gave him some props and apologized to him in a previous post…maybe you missed that one!  Read this post… Exploding!

The Broncos had a total of 5 turnovers (2 int, 3 fumbles). You could be playing the Bengals or the Lions and still lose if you turn the ball over 5 times. Randy Moss had 2 touchdown receptions for the Pat squad as they roll over and thrash the Denver Broncos. RB Sammy Morris ran for 138 yards and a score. New England was favored, but not by much. Broncos leave New England now having lost 3 of their last 4 games and have to be scratching their heads as they go back to the drawing board. Patriots win their 5th straight Monday Night game in a 41-7 rout of the Denver Broncos.
