SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Matt Cassel? 185 passing yards 3 TDs http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patr...l_named_af.html Wow, he did have a good game, but offensive player of the week??? Trent was 10 times more instrumental in his team's win.
truth on hold Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Matt Cassel? 185 passing yards 3 TDs http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patr...l_named_af.html and 6 sacks!!!!!!!
McD Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 An undeserving Patriot getting accolades!?!?! Nooooooooo, tell me it's not true!?!?! I'd give it to Sammy Morris before Cassel.
truth on hold Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 An undeserving Patriot getting accolades!?!?! Nooooooooo, tell me it's not true!?!?! I'd give it to Sammy Morris before Cassel. owner kraft got out the checkbook again because he wanted cassell to get some confidence.
BillsObserver Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 What a joke. I'm not saying it should be a Bill but I am saying it definitely shouldn't be Matt Cassel. I watched that game and he meant very little. Some of his throws made me laugh. Can't wait to play the Pats and get some revenge.
Golden Wheels Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 I just thought it was surprising given this past week's performances (including Sammy Morris's): Matt Schaub - in a Houston win he had 26 completions out of 31 attempts for 267 yards and 2 TDs. No INT. QB rating of 124.1 LenDale White - in a Tennessee win he had 149 rushing yards and 3 TDs. Mewelde Moore - in a Pittsburgh win he had 120 rushing yards and 2 TDs.
deep2evans Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 How they don't give it to Lendale White over friggin Matt Cassel is beyond me. Just stupid.
MattM Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 How they don't give it to Lendale White over friggin Matt Cassel is beyond me. Just stupid. You obviously haven't been paying attention the last 5 years or so, but due to Kraft's influence the Pats* are the League's media darlings despite the whining their fans do about things like Spygate. Speaking of which, anyone else notice how poorly officiated a game it was on Monday night (going in guess which direction)? I've never seen that head official before in my life. Just curioius, but has anyone else ever seen him before? Perhaps Mike Pereira ordered him up special for Big Bob just to make sure that the new "America's Team" didn't find itself on the wrong end of things. As it turned out, the Donkos played so badly they didn't need any help, but I'm sure they'd have been there for the Pats* if they'd have needed it, last years' Ravens-game style.....
murra Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I usually don't care about these things, but that truly is a disgrace. Cassel wasn't even the player of the game.
GripnRip Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I can only laugh because Cassel isn't even close enough to being good that a shot of confidence is going to significantly help his play. Maybe by the end of the year he can develop into a solid #2 QB but right now he is AWFUL, even when he does good (like on monday nite), he looks bad.
stuckincincy Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I think Edward G. Hochuli should have won it, as well as in a couple of previous weeks.
BuffaloBill Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 When I first saw the post I was excited because I thought it was a joke. When I found out that the truth was the opposite I wanted to puke. No acknowledgement that the defense he played against sucked and come on less than 200 yards. While the patsies racked up a big score Cassel's stats were otherwise very pedestrian.
SKOOBY Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Huh?? 83% completions & that's not good enough?
The Dean Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Huh?? 83% completions & that's not good enough? If he went 5-5, for 25 yards, that would be 100% completion rate. Would that be good enough to win Offensive Player of the Week? I don't think anyone is questioning that he had a very good day, or that his completion % wasn't high enough. It's just that, his performance (and stats), overall, aren't the stuff of the typical OP of the Week.
Wacka Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Well, Bruschi got player of the week once because he got stampeded on a long run and had maybe 2 tackles.
