Chiefs I was impressed with Cassel - Page 6

**petegz28** · 09-09-2012, 01:53 PM

He didn't start to look like the old Cassel until the game was out of reach. His passes were crisp, ontime, to the correct receiver and he went through progressions. He marched us into scoring position until Moeaki decided to make a weak attempt at catching a ball which ended up tipped and picked. It was not Cassel's fault. The fumble was not Cassel's fault. The 2nd INT was the old Cassel though he was trying to make a play in a game that we were out of but nonetheless was a bad decision.

All in all he looked good. He was put in a position that he was literally forced to score on every drive and was doing a good job of it until some others started choking.

I'm not down on him yet. If our defense was worth half a **** today we most likley stomp Atlanta.

In the four years he has been on this team, how often has he done just that?

iT'S A sad ****ing day when a rival team fan has to defend your QB

That game was 38-31, which would be the definition of "keeping in the game", despite having a defensive performance that was as bad if not worse than today.

Cassel could only keep the Chiefs competitive for a half and then shitted in his pants.

This game had to fall on the offense, and Matty Melt.

When the chips fell, Matty Melt couldn't pick them up.

So, you're saying you'd rather lose 48-45, rather than 40-24? Last time I checked it's still a loss. Cassel could've thrown for 550 and 6 TDs and they still lose with that defense.

If you're impressed, your expectations are shockingly low.

A lot of us said that. And that was because it ended up with us being down by 10 and no one can score a 10 pt TD and our defense wasn't stopping anyone.

At half time we were only down by three points.

Atlanta made adjustments and came out with a different attack. Chiefs didn't. I put the blame on the coaches

How so? How did he shit his pants?

In defense of the defense, if there is any after that miserable performance, they also had a few turnovers that put them in a very unfavorable position.

But again, we're not talking about Andrew Luck in his first game. We're talking about Matt Cassel. This isn't the first time his offense has laid a complete goose eggs on consecutive drives. He's single-handedly the biggest reason we lost against Baltimore, if people recall.

I think with what we saw today and our offense this year 2 scores won't be an issue. He kept coming back from being down today didn't he? The defense has to step in at some point.

Be consistent. Not play like he did in the second half.

One good half and one embarrassing half do not an impressive performance make.
