4:15pm.  Patriots Vs. Jets.  Matt Cassel’s first start since 1999 when he started for Chatsworth High School.  He’s played sporadically in the pre-season and in the regular season (when the game was already out of reach) but this is his first NFL start.

I have no idea how he’ll do, especially against a tough division rival like the Jets, but part of me is excited to see what happens this afternoon.  The other part of me is terrified.  :shifty:

My prediction?  I think the Pats can ground out a win this week…it won’t be easy, and the Jets are going to be fired up for this game, but I think our defense will come through (at least this week, I don’t have much hope for the season in general) and I think Cassel will do just enough to help us win.

Even if he can do this, we’ll be okay:
