Yup, people remember Brady going down and Cassel doing really well, but what people don't remember is they didn't even make the playoffs that year. In fact the only year the Patriots missed the playoffs in the last 14 years is the year Brady went down.

EDIT: They actually went from 16-0 and a SB loss the year before, to missing the playoffs entirely without Brady.
