Well the Pats gave up more sacks then us so their o-line sucks and we have a better running back and our wrs are just as good as theirs. I'm not going to worry about it because we can't do anything about it.

Standing in the pocket for about 20 seconds before you find a receiver (While you have Moss and Welker) might have something to do with it. This same O-line has been pretty damn good with Brady, who's nearly totally immobile in the pocket. And yes, we do have a somewhat better running game, but I'd call that nearly a tie.
You're totally missing my point, though.
Well, yes, there's a small chance that Flynn will step up and be pretty decent. More often than not, though, it doesn't bode well for the team. Especially for one that relies on its passing game. I can imagine that a team like the Ravens doesn't feel an injury as bad as a team like us, or Indianapolis (Not saying NE here, since they just have a dominating supporting cast).
I don't think that we have a stable enough running game or O-line to drag a QB along. It'll totally be on Flynn's shoulders. Not saying that he can't do it, it's just unlikely.

Yes, I did say that NE has a great supporting cast, but c'mon, do you really want to argue that? Point being is that a player like Brady doesn't just pop up everytime a back up runs onto the field. Usually, you'll get a Ryan Fitzpatrick-like player. Decent, but can't keep the offense moving.
Btw. Still not sold on Cassel. He'll fail in KC and they're going to be kicking themselfs that they traded away Thigpen. But that's slightly off-topic.
