The New England Patriots 21 game regular season win streak came to end today by the likes of the Miami Dolphins? Yes the Miami Dolphins, the team with only one win last year and hadn't one a game this year until today. The Patriots got embarrased on their own turf falling 38-13. The offense just never seemed to get any rhythm, and the defense looked confused with the Dolphins throwing different looks at them. Sending Pennington out as a reciever and direct snapping the ball to Ronnie Brown. Ronnie Brown had a career day rushing for 113 yards 4 rushing TD's and 1 passing TD. He would have been nice to have on the fantasy team this week. Chad Pennington looked real comfortable, picking apart the Pats Defense throwing for 226 yards and 0 INT's. Tony Sparano's shemes worked like a charm against the Pats and he gets his much deserved first win as a head coach.
How much longer will Cassell be under center. He didnt look comfortable at all and didnt make anything happen. Kevin O'Connell 3rd round pick in the 2008 draft is the Pats current backup. I would really like to see O'Connell play. He has some real talent and is also a multi dimensional QB. He won't be afraid to tuck it and run. Seeing O'Connell is the projected starter of the far future I would like to see him in action now. He would add more excitement to the Pats offense. I just can't see Cassell getting it done. Joey Porter and the Dolphins defense threw "the kitchen sink" at Cassell and he could not handle it.
