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
