Yeah - the same way the Jaguars shut down in Moss in the Playoffs last year when he didn't catch a ball and Brady went 29-for-31 passing. Moss wasn't even playing hurt that day.
Look - I know the one-sided loss must have hurt as a Jet fan - if Moss not having a big fantasy football day is a moral victory - the Jets aren't contenders.
And - you can pretend Moss didn't burn that corner on the play he broke off his route and had an easy td if Cassell didn't badly underthrow him.
Would Brady have made the throw? Yes. Would Cassell have made it 7 times out of 10? Yes. He didn't make it - but the encouraging thing was he saw it. Moss broke off his route on his own.
The Patriots defense is so much better off without Brady - and the silly throw every down playcalling.
