No Matter How Hard This Franchise Tries to Protect Cassel From Fail...
 

...they can't. Today's gameplan to protect Cassel is a microcosm of the last four years. Pioli & co should be publicly flogged.

Cassel is clearly feeling the pressure today. He looks terrified to be out there.

Thankfully, the plan isn't working.

On that fumble at the goal line, he just got jittery. His hand placement was way off and he was shuffling his feet before the snap. All on him.

Pioli is the hardest headed sonofabitch EVER.

He is DESTROYING this team with it.

Gonna get Charles hurt just to protect Cassel...

Gutless bastards.

Maybe they have seen Brady Quinn practice!

After today, I'm done. I won't watch another down with Matt Cassel as QB.

**** you n00b

Worst display of coaching ever. Pussies, everyone of them on the coaching staff.

If they wanted to protect him, they'd be calling short passes and screens, trying to give him artificially inflated 'normal' passing numbers. Not throwing the ball just exposes the fact they don't think he can execute. This is a franchise giving up on a QB.

he's hurt!!!

Down goes Cassel! Down goes Cassel!

HE'S TOUGH HE'LL BE BACK!

Might not have to wait long...
