Game was in his hands at the end. He threw two absolutely horrible passes to open receivers, pissing away time and downs and not even giving us a chance. On the last play he didn't even manage to get the ball out of his own hands with time expired.

Interesting. Nice summation, BTW.

Because he played like shit when the game was on the line?

Every loss is Cassel's fault. Please catch up.

I hate Cassel and I think he did an alright job today. He put the team in position to win, and the defensive gameplan by Crennel totally dicked us. The refs missed calls were also not helpful.

Stick to politics ****tard how many third downs did he convert today?

So when your defense gives up 4 straight touchdowns it's the QBs fault the team loses? This is amazing logic.

This. Absolutely this. On a 3rd and two, and they tried to get a 15 yarder.

Logic Fail.

It's becoming apparent they know something about the defense that we didn't know 2 straight games they go for it on 4th down in the red zone.

FWIW, don't think of this as a piss on Matt Cassel thread. He failed when we needed him the most, but does that really surprise anyone? I just think it's foolish to praise someone who put up 3 quarters of great dink and dunk stats who shrivels when he has to make a difficult throw.

Yes, the 3rd and 2 call was a low percentage play. Yes, running it was the better choice. But with that having been said, Cassel had good protection a receiver in single coverage against a shitty safety and he had him if he put the ball there. It wasn't a terribly difficult throw.

Yes, the defense deserves blame, but when you play against a good QB with dynamic receivers and you have one pass rusher on the roster, that is what happens.

I don't think Cassel is a franchise guy but he clearly played well enough to win today. He plays like he did today and we will make the playoffs. That 3rd and 2 was a tough call. Have somebody run right and throw across his body to the left across the field is a tough play for anyone. Why not go back to the slant or any of the 8 million plays over the middle that were open... or if you have to roll him out bring Moaeki to his side of the field. Anybody blaming him for that last Hail Mary needs to swallow a running chainsaw. They rushed 3 guys and Richardson gets beat right off the line.

I hate Cassel as much as anyone but he didn't lose this game the D did and they were playing 11 on 12

Nobody is saying the defense isn't to blame. But let's not pretend like Cassel came through in the clutch. He didn't. He just doesn't have what it takes to pull a game out.

and when they did he ass****ed the offense all the way to buttrapedville population Cassel + offense.

Hamas is right the pass rush is ****ing pathetic and I think the lack of a Nose Tackle is starting to show.
