Cassel overthrew him but your timing is off

We got the ball at our 39 with 22 seconds left.

The first short incomplete pass to Bowe left us with 18 seconds

The incomplete pass to Horne left us with 13 seconds

We ended up on their 38 with 4 seconds left and everyone's hero Barry Richardson completely whiffed on his block

The Texans did a great job of scheming to force Hali to fight through traffic on every single snap.

I'll have to see the tv replay...Didn't look as overthrown as some describe. Again...I hate Cassel.

Still think Horne ducked up and has to adjust to a ball thrown to a spot.

The Vixens' offense is really damn good. They have weapons and they're not afraid to use them. Plus, their offensive line never holds an opposing player. Ever. Not even on runs to the left that gain 20 yards.

Although, for our part, we shouldn't forget just how abysmal the Vixens' secondary and overall pass defense has been. One would expect some success against those guys.

But, so far as I'm concerned, Mutt Cassblow is not off the hook. The word Lenny used today was "composure" ... sadly, Cassclump remains a little light in that department.

I do have to say, however ... in all fairness ... that he did a good job in certain situations today ... a couple of really nice throws and a couple of good decisions. Just enough to make you want to believe in fairies and the little brownie man who lives in the woodpile ...

Held most of the time it seemed. Doubled.

Bullshit. I want him to succeed. Everyone does.

We just know he can't because he sucks.

How can you adjust to a ball that's thrown four foot over your head?

We need to move past this excuse.

It has become a weary, old tune, Mr. stevieray, but Hali was grabbed everywhere but on the ass today ... and that's only because his ass is so tight.

Our defense stepped in it today, though. I was surprised that we didn't blitz more often. Come with the corner or safety or somebody, maybe. I trust Romeo, though. I'm sure he had his reasons.

This was a game that, in my mind, was similar in many ways to the Mannings game ... we're playing tough on the road and coming up just a tad short. But overall, I'm encouraged and know that, we could have emerged victorious with a single pick or fumble recovery ... and Flowers almost gave it to us.

We're getting better ... and fast. This team is real and they don't like losing anymore.

I don't see it as an "excuse" though, Mr. DeezNutz. It is what it is.

Regardless of the reasons, though, if Hali can't get to the enemy QB, we need to give him some help. I would gladly suit up and, if necessary, start grabbing junk, by God.

FAX

I hear ya, man.

I wasnt making an excuse for the loss, but I was stating a fact. He was held. On several occasions.

**** off.

And there's the rub, Mr. KC kid.

Casscan has lost my support. I was very much in favor of him becoming a successful quarterback for a long time ... most of last season, in fact. And, even today, were he to douse himself with magic splooge and somehow transform himself into a true, dependable, reliable, consistent QB, I'd support him again. I just don't believe it's possible anymore.

So, speaking for myself, I'm kinda stuck. I'd like him to perform better, yet I fear that, were he to do so, he would remain our quarterback and we would forestall the decision to improve at that position. That's the problem.

FAX

I know you weren't. What I am saying, though, is that it's my belief that fans of every team with a decent pass rusher post the same thing.

"___ was held all game!"

It's not as if the league has some extra special vendetta against Hali. Unless, of course, the commissioner wishes to see FAX grab sacks.
