There's a reason the guy hadn't started a game since high school, and you could put Chuck behind that O-Line with Moss and Welkerand he'd look like Dan freaking Fouts.
You haven't seen how that O-line pass blocks when teams can rush up the middle. Cassell has been sacked 46 times this year! It's a big function of defenses playing copy-cat and using the Giants brilliant strategy in the super bowl of rushing their DE's against the Pats guards and blizing right up the middle.

I think Wes Welker will prove to be an absolutley tremendous bust when he leaves NE for more money ...

He was undrafted and he's already had two different teams basically give him away.

Welker benefits as much or more than anyone in a Moss offense. Basically, Welker is a gritty little guy who is VERY tough to defend in space.

When you're running a spread offense and you constantly have a corner jamming Moss with a safety always playing deep and rolling to him ... you are going to have all kinds of room for Welker to work with. He's basically just a 3rd down reciever for any other team...and even with Moss, he's not a guy that will score many TD's because the field tightens up inside the red zone.

The Patriots are the #1 ranked point scoring offense in the AFC right now and they are 4th in the NFL in yards. This would be the 8th time in the 11 years of Moss that his offense was top 5 in the NFL in those offensive categories. Tom Brady has played on a GRAND TOTAL of just one offense ('07) that finished in the top 5 in the NFL in yards.

In a Moss offensive anyone can look great playing QB, RB, and WR - just so long as the O-line can pass block. The Raiders opted not to run a spread style offense and they had the worst pass blocking O-line in NFL history, if you can't block the whole Moss offense goes entirely up in smoke.

I am praying for your Jets to win one for the Pats on Sunday Hossy.

Although - the one defense in the NFL that has always been best made to handle a Moss offense is the Baltimore Ravens .. and that is who the Pats would get in the wildcard.

Tough physical corners, an amazing safety like Ed Reed who covers a ton of field ... something that is very key from the safety position against a Moss offense.

You also have great linebackers and DE's on that team. Matt Cassell won't look like boy wonder in that one.

Roll your eyes all you want.

When Brady won his 3 Super Bowls .. he had the NFL's #1 ranked defense, #2 ranked defense, and #6 ranked defense in fewest points allowed.

It shows you how massively overrated winning Super Bowls are. Brady wasn't playing defense. Moss has played on teams with total swiss cheese defenses in 9 of his 11 years in the NFL. And this years defense is close to being swiss with all the injuries. He would have about 8 rings right now if he had the '03 and '04 Pats defense all these years.

Does anyone even remember how bad some of those Viking defenses were back in the day!?
