I'm glad he looked better than he has in other contests, but better than shit doesn't equal chocolate ice cream.
He wasn't the only reason we lost this game, far from it, but he IS a reason we didn't win it ...when we could have.
Lets just hope things are STARTING to slow down for the guy a little and that he will continue to play better each week and it wasn't just because we were facing an embarrassing pass defense today that makes every quarterback look good, but only made ours look serviceable.
That is all.

While good teams do try to exploit opposition weaknesses, they also remain true to their identity.
This team's identity is running the ball, and they did so to the tune of 220+ yards against a solid run defense.
They were also able to pass the ball effectively, which suggests that they did exploit that weakness, as well.
The offense played a hell of a game, including Cassel.
