Man I knew the Raiders were bad, but wow. The Patriots dominated this game from kickoff. The great story coming out of this game was the play of Matt Cassel, who lost his dad this week. I know this story will not get any of the same air time that Favre got for doing basically the same thing, but you have to give props to a guy who preformed so well after such a tragic loss. Cassel threw for 4 TDs, but it was the running game that stole the show on offense, as Jordan and Morris combined for 214 yards and 2 TDs.
This game really had to do a lot more with how bad the Raiders are, then how good the Patriots plaid, but a win is a win, and the Patriots kept their playoff hopes alive. The good news is the Patriots now have the same record as the dolphins in the AFC, and since they have the same record in the AFC East, they are in god shape. The Dolphins and Jets are going to play each other the last week of the season, which could put the Patriots in a good spot, if they can win their last two games. I really do expect the Patriots to be in the playoffs, but we shall see how they do as they face Arizona next week.
Oh yea, and Moss TD celebrations were hilarious, because I hate the Raiders.
