This. When they showed the replay from the endzone you can see someone wide open running across the middle of the field. With an accurate pass he probably could have had a td.

**** it.

I am surprised some of the people on here (those blaming Cassel) are even smart enough to set up their home networks to get online.

Wait....what?

You mean some people set up their own network?

Yeah, Cassel didn't shit the bed on the final possession.

It was his wide open receivers that blew a chance at a win.

Is the world wide web something from those Spider-Man comics that all the kids read?

Cassel definitely overthrows Moeaki.

And look at Bowe. He's open. More open than Moeaki. There's no safety, everyone was down in the box.

Doubly whammy on Casshole.

How many points did the Texans score in the 4th quarter????????????

21

I never thought of that.

Stan Lee is an evil genious.

Seems like it is tough to win games when you give up 21 points in the 4th. It is not like the Chiefs were scoreless either

Or say that a defense is rested after losing 3 quarters.

So they will be great.

This isn't hard, dude.

Cassel makes 15 million ****ing dollars this year.

He had a chance to basically end the game with one throw.

He ****in' blew it.

And regardless of the chances of a comeback with 28 seconds left, his shit passing on the final drive only showcases his well-documented shittiness.

hmmm, interesting. So it's all the defense's fault, when in the second half the offense couldn't move the ball anymore?

Did we miss Chambers at all today? Is it possible we're better with McCluster on the field on an every-down basis?

Yes we pay the defense like a $100 a year.

Oh take the money reason. Top how many picks on defense?

Can you become a charger fan? You are a dumb ass and TG for your videos. Would be banned otherwise.

Just saying all year its been the defense for wins.

I mean a 21 point lead in the 4th is a defense problem.

No?

You blame the last hail mary on Cassel? Your answer tells me all I need to know about whether Cassel even has a chance or you have predetermined where the blame will go.

I think gochiefs might be drunk right now, I don't usually see him like this.

After looking at the play he should have went to Bowe but the play was designed for Moeki as they were trying to sneak him out on the backside. But that throw was probably a 30 yd throw going right to left and Wilson was right there to break it up.

It just reinforces in my mind that was a stupid play call

Please, please try to understand. I'm talking about his overthrow to Moeaki.

Cassel haters have no logic. . . they just hate. Think of how much money all the first round picks on the chiefs' D make. . . then tell me about how much Cassel makes.

just making an argument that offense could've held the ball longer and taking time off the clock so there's not even a chance for Houston to score three times.

No?

I wouldn't say ALL, but the majority of the blame does lie with them. The vast majority for the blame of this loss. 30 points and a pretty big lead towards the end of the game....They allowed 4 TD's in a row. You don't think the majority of the blame lies with the D on this one?

Moeaki wasn't open. I would listen to an argument that he threw to the wrong place, but the throw itself was not an issue.

Who gives a ****? He's the ****ing quarterback and one of the highest-paid in the league.

Expect more.

So Cassel made the decision to throw to someone who wasn't open with the game on the line.

Brilliant! Great ****ing QB we have there.

Moeaki had the safety sealed off.

That throw was absolutely pathetic.

Probably was a brilliant play call too? Disagree???

You tuck your tail and run when your opinions are proven to be wrong.

It's the same theory. I'm not talking about you in this instance, but your prior behaviors.

Cassel played a fine game today, but there are people that ignored posting about that during the game only to criticize at the end.

It was a brilliant play call.

Too bad every play call requires execution.

I tend to not blame the 2-3 bad plays cassel made as to why the Chiefs lost. I blame the 20 bad plays the Chiefs' D made in the 4th quarter

The defense was generally Greg Robinson-caliber pathetic today. No consistent pass rush, and mistackles galore (there were at least 7 mistackles on the Ward TD run alone).

The Chiefs special teams... especially on kickoffs were also shitty. The Chiefs essentially gift-wrapped a start at the 50 yard line for a potent offense with the poorly executed short corner kickoff.

Cassel was solid... but still left potential big plays out there with poorly thrown passes (especially on some of those quick hit passes/screen plays).

Overall I am actually coming out of this game on an optimistic note. If the Chiefs can put together today's offense with last week's defense, they should be able to put together 10+ wins against the likes of Jacksonville, Buffalo, Denver, Oakland, Arizona, Seattle, and St. Louis.

That was a horrid call and you know it

It was a horrible play call that didn't fool anyone. It was basically a 30 yd pass to get 2 yds

Why are you ignoring the fact that the play call worked?

If Cassel makes a decent throw instead of lobbing it towards the bleachers, Moeaki has a chance.

Damn, 122 QB rating

Moeaki was not ****ing open

Yes he was. Was running five yards free of coverage? Hell no. But he was open one on one against Wilson. He had Wilson - a smaller body - effectively shielded. The throw wasn't that difficult. It's a throw I expect a NFL QB to make.

I don't think anyone expected Cassel to do it, no. I would have been absolutely stunned. There are plenty of QBs, however, that could do that and have.

The product of a brilliant play call looks something like an offensive lineman escorting your quarterback 70 yards for the touchdown because everyone in the stadium expected a run up the gut..... that didn't quite happen, as the Texans had it covered.

An inept QB throwing to a covered TE against a worn down defense that's given up 230 yards rushing is not brilliant, and you know it.

At least someone uses their brain!!!

It didn't work and was a horrible call.

He did play a fine game. To bad he choked at the end.

Its a genius call if its converted, though. Right?

In my mind, the mistakes Cassel made were:

1. Missing a wide open receiver on the sideline on the last drive
2. Having to use a timeout to avoid a delay of game
3. Throwing a horrible screen pass off McCluster's helmet

Once again, tell me how many third and short yardage situations the Chiefs converted by running the ball?

The PA pass is a good play call.

A good pass to a TE that has the safety shielded is a win on that play.

A QB who sees the entire field is a win on that play.

I am in no way blaming Cassel for the loss.

This was a team effort.

But as Hamas points out, that play illustrates the difference between a franchise QB and Matt Cassel.

Yes, the play is a great call because it COULD HAVE WORKED IF MOEAKI HAD MADE AN AMAZING PLAY TO WARD OFF WILSON AND CATCH THE BALL, but we hadn't been running the ball well all day, so I understand why they resorted to trickeration

You're ****ing stupid.

Cassel is paid $15 million dollars a year to WIN games for the Chiefs, not shit the bed.

He shit the bed on the final possession, plain and simple.

It would have been looked like a risky call.

It was a high reward high risk play. The safe play would have to run it or throw a safe pass. You just need 2 yds not 30

How many third and short yardage situations had they converted by running the ball?

The Texans had stuffed us on nearly every third and short run throughout the game.

Almost every third down conversion came via the pass.

Glenn Dorsey (pick a high paid Chiefs defender here) gets paid 13 million a year to let them score 21 fourth quarter points and not make a single play to win the game. He shit the bed the entire fourth quarter

So Matt Cassel converts a ton of passes and that is held against him as to why it is a good call later in the game????

Oh, just shut the **** up.

**** you bitch

The problem is that Cassel decided he was going to Moeaki from snap.

He never looked anywhere else.

But even that would not have mattered had he thrown the ball in front of Moeaki and the safety, because Moeaki had position.

It was a pathetic pass, plain and simple.

In my mind why not run it and if you don't get it go for it on 4th down

Probably would have run some more time off the clock too, but noooooo we wanna pass. Look, he is not Peyton Manning. He should not have to be for people to think he had a good game

Not in that position at that point in the game.

You convert or punt.

There is no other option.

Especially since we had not stopped them in 3 straight possessions. Once I saw Colquitt, I knew we had lost.

He would have had to throw it short because Wilson was right there to make the play. But a LB was a few yds in front of Moeki so he had to get it over him.

Play action was the right call, just the wrong execution.

The clock is the one reall good argument that can be made for running in that situation.

But the fact is, even if you run the ball when you fail to convert, you are still going to leave enough time on the clock for the Texans to mount a drive.

I don't know. If your D isn't stopping them and your O only needs 2 yds and has been running at huge clips all day long I think they could get 2 yds in 2 plays to end the game.

It is kind of like how the 2003-2004 Chiefs Offense had to play because they couldn't trust the d.

Cassel was making good throws all day.

He picked a terrible time to revert to Crapsel.

but you make them use a timeout or run it to the 2 min warning. Of course, the way the D played, they only needed 60 seconds. The gone in 60 seconds defense today

Eh, I wouldn't blame any QB for not driving 61 yards in :28 for a GW TD... yeah, Cassel shit the bed on that drive, but winning the game at that point is a lofty expectation, if not a unreasonable one, for any quarterback.

You simply don't risk leaving them that short a field.

I am not opposed to a play action pass just not the one we ran.

People make too much a fuss about what Cassel makes. There are lots of highly paid players on that D that choked the game away. People just can't stand Cassel because of personal prejudice and do not even WANT to see him succeed

I agree

Pretty much this. Good takes Hamas.

I definitely agree that we need help at pass rush. Hali and Vrabel were MIA today

That leads me back to my original point.

After ten years of Marty's playing not to lose mentality, I am not going to get upset with aggressive play calling in an attempt to win.

The play call wasn't the problem.
The execution was.

Yeah, but that borders on demanding they go for it on fourth as well. The defense just needed to make ONE play today in the 4th quarter. It did not happen.

JFC, people.

I didn't state that he needed to score a TD, although THAT'S what SHOULD be expected of a 28 year-old being paid $15 million a year.

But he ****ing SHIT THE BED.

He missed wide open receivers. He took a sack to end the game.

The Chiefs had a chance to win but Cassel couldn't even get them in the Red Zone. He ****ing sucks.

And while I wouldn't agree with the decision to go for it on 4th down in a situation like that, I also would not be bitching about it either.

I absolutely hated Marty, and herman ****ing Edwards.

I never want to play not to lose ever again.

I can forgive mistakes of aggression.

Also, on that note, what the **** was wrong with Colquitt? The guy had two really good opportunities to pin the Texans within the 5 and they sharply bit into the end zone.

Whatever **** Cassel. TE had sealed the defender and was open.. Horrible pass.
The defense played Greg Robinson style with all the mistackling.

Come on Jags.

Our special teams were far from special today
