Patriots are having a hard time dealing with the loss

It has been said that; any team in the NFL can beat any other team in the NFL on any given Sunday.

Change it to read; any good NFL team can beat any other good NFL team on any given Sunday....and it becomes even truer.

The Giants have the best record in the NFL so far in this young season.

Look, I'm a lifelong Jets fan, and the thought of a team like the Patriots not being in contention within the division makes me about as happy as can be. Still, as fine a quarterback as Brady is, I can't honestly say that the whole team is flushed down the toilet on account of his not playing this year. The real key is whether Cassel can step up and do even a half-decent job. And I don't expect the front office to put all their confidence in him; they'll sign some veteran before the season is half over, just wait and see.

Would Daunte Culpepper work out here? He had some very productive years when he was pitching it to Randy Moss. The clubs he went to, Miami and Oakland, I mean, how bad are they? I would think Daunte would be a good fit. I know you have the salary cap to contend with, though. And you are going to need an extra quarterback. What happens if Cassell gets hurt on Sunday? Then what? Then again does Culpepper want to play anymore. After being cannon fodder with 2 bad clubs, you can't really blame him for chucking the whole thing.

In general, I have joy in Patriots' and Brady's misery. But I do a feel a little sad for both given Brady's season ending knee injury. Good luck to the Patriots, but I hope they don't make the playoffs.
