we will not win games if it's all on Matt Cassel...ever.
But he executed the offensive gameplan wonderfully today and that's all we should ask as fans.
If we want to blame someone today (and there doesn't always have to be blame after a loss)...it's our defense. Plain and simple. We couldn't stop Foster, Schaub or Johnson when it counted and that's why we lost.

I hate agreeing with Hootie, but other than the part where he pisses on Green I pretty much concur.
Cassel will never be a Manning/Montana/Marino type. Ever. The best we can hope for is for him to be Dilfer - an effective game manager who can win if his supporting cast picks him up and he's not asked to do too much. Certainly not worth $63M, but it is what it is.
