I am gonna side with the OP and Cassel here.... I thought he played good, 17 points is enough to win if you play decent D

Yeah I was impressed with Cassel's 1st half as well. Good sign. Now we need our defense to get healthy

Trent Green would have kept the Chiefs in a game like today, a shootout with no help from his defense.
Matt Cassel shitted in his pants in the second half. |

Here'e the problem.
Teams that can,, and do, overcome mistakes, have guys that are leaders under center. Teams that wilt when mistakes are made lack that leadership. Matt Cassel is a guy falls into the second category. He lacks the confidence to lead this team when they need it most.

It wouldn't have mattered if Cassel played well the whole game or not. This game was the defense's loss. They were forcing Cassel and the offense to be 100% perfect, and we know that's not something they're capable of. Anyone that blames this on Cassel is just looking for another reason for him to go. |

The other problem is... it's not like we have the burden of proof to prove that Cassel sucks. Cassel has the burden of proof to prove he's any good.
So yeah, from the get-go... not a horrendous performance by Cassel, but the bar is a LOT higher for him. |

Putting aside what was Cassel's fault, I think we have the tools to be a good offense and I think when we get Hali and Flowers and Lewis back we'll obviously be much improved on defense. We just can't put a game into Cassel's hands and expect him to come back from over two scores down. Never will be able to. That's who he is. We all hate it, but I think we showed that we can win with this offense, provided the defense doesn't crap the bed like today. I want to see our defense at full strength before passing judgment.

I'm not saying the fumble was Cassel's fault, but a lot of QBs would avoid that fumble. |
