Jackie Battle, Dexter McClsuter, and Thomas Jones weren't going to carry Cassel to a victory against Pittsburgh. It's a dumbass argument and quite frankly I'm surprised i've spend this much time even discussing it.

I agree Cassel can't handle a blitz, but Palko's answer was to throw the ball directly to Steeler defenders. Cassel most likely would've just taken a sack. I think the Chiefs win that game with Cassel. Not saying Cassel makes the plays to win, just saying he doesn't cost them the game, and it was close enough that that would've made the difference.
