I'm not surprised that the defense had problems today.

Kendrick Lewis, Tyson Jackson and Alex Magee were inactive, leaving the Chiefs thin at defensive end and NT, along with forcing them to use Washington at safety.

Plus, Houston has been a Top Five offensive team for years, so it's unsurprising that they were able to come back.

But with that said, none of it affects Cassel's inability to complete a pass to wide open receivers with the game on the line.

Oh come on, man, we can't talk about more than one thing at a time. Black and white, either/or, no shades of gray allowed. It taxes our poor neurons.

I think this hardly mattered. By all reports, he's damn lucky even to have a roster spot.

I was at the game...unfortunately

Horne ran a poor, lazy route and it cost him. Moeaki was well covered. After all the third down conversions, I was hopeful...but it just wasn't there.

Berry looked bad

ya, because that's exactly how every game ends...in the victory formation.

the offense outscored an explosive offense for the majority of that game. if anything the defnse put the offense at a disadvantage, not the other way around. they gave up one huge gain after the other..that's not on the offense.

one defensive stop out of four CONSECUTIVE scoring drives, that game is over...

This is actually my worst fear regarding Mitch Casswipe ... that he'll play just "good enough" to keep his job. He was more Doody than Howdy today ... particularly on critical snaps.

If we didn't have the kind of quality running backs we have, we wouldn't have much in terms of offense. His tendency to panic and freak out reared its bloody head today once again. Sometimes he looks like a little girl who's seen a rat back there.

Looks like my guess was spot on.

I only think it mattered in respect to giving guys a rest from time to time.

I hated the fact they substituted Hali with Studebaker when it was Vrabel that should've taken a seat.

The bottom line is that even though the defense had their worst outing of the season, the Chiefs were in a position to win the game in the fourth quarter.

That is, until Cassel shit himself.

Yeah, Houston's defense just killed their offense. I can't believe how much of a disadvantage those poor guys were after their _efense gave up 225+ yards rushing and 31 points.

The difference between Houston and KC today?

Our Matt was named Cassel. Their Matt was named Schaub.

I agree.

On the semi-bright side, I have more faith in Romeo's ability to adjust and correct mistakes than I have with any D coordinator in recent memory.

whatever you want to think.

when you've lead a game until only 28 seconds is left, and watched your defense let them back in the game, you've done enough to win.

keep playing both sides of the fence. cassel sucks, yet he supoosed to pull a rabbit out of hat his in less than 30 seconds.

Another FAXtabulator?

But, but, he threw for 200 yards and 3 TD's.

I didn't expect him to "pull a rabbit out of hat" but I did expect him to hit wide open receivers when it mattered most.
