I know everyone on CP hates Cassel.....

I really dont know how you pin the Raider loss squarely on Cassel. When they got the break, he hit Bowe on the TD. The defense failed to hold leads against the Texans and Raiders.

The Colts loss though, was squarely on him.

Bowe's dropped TD pass didn't outweigh Cassel's shortcomings?

It was a huge play no doubt. But the defense kept giving him opportunity after opportunity and he failed with it.

On the first drive of the game, he locked on Bowe when Castille and Moeaki were coming open.

No not really...

I was at the game and it was obvious that Cassel didnt elevate his game or anyones around him.

It was night and day looking live at Indy passing game vs Chiefs passing game..

Really? Night and day comparing Manning and Cassel? Wow, I never would have imagined.

If Bowe catches the ball KC takes the lead late in the 3rd quarter and has lots of momentum (INT followed by a TD). Not to mention Haley's dumbass decision not to go for 3 on the first drive.

Cassel came up flat for most of the 4th (before Haley's 2nd dumbass decision to go for a 50 yard field goal needing two scores), but the TD drop hurt big.
