This isn't rocket science. Cassel sucks. It's just like the last snap of the 4th quarter in Oakland. Cassel was supposed to put that ball on Bowe's back shoulder and he put it on his front...knee? Weaksauce.

I understand your argument, but I don't think it's obvious that you're right at all. In fact, I think it's pretty obvious that you're wrong. You don't twist a receiver around to make him look over his other shoulder on a deep route like that when he's already past the guy who is covering him. If Cassel threw the ball to the wrong shoulder, Chambers ran the wrong route because he should have turned his route to the pylon and looked for the ball over the outside shoulder (based on his independent read of the safety that you're keying on) instead of continuing to run down field and looking for the ball over his inside shoulder. If we had video from earlier in the route that showed Chambers first looking over his right shoulder and then having to turn to his left to track the ball, I'd agree with you, but it doesn't look like that was the case to me.
