Chiefs I was impressed with Cassel - Page 2

**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.

Did you watch the second half of today's game or were you too busy firing up your personal Matt Cassel prostate massager.

He was pretty damn good in the first half, sadly for him, NFL games are 60 minutes

No. That was entirely Albert. I don't even think Albert got one hand on his man.

I don't know if I'll say impressed, but this team can win 10 games if he plays like this and the defense actually decides to show up at some point. He really only made one truly hideous Cassel throw and that was the INT.

**notorious** · 09-09-2012, 01:58 PM

**** Cassel.

But, he did play well in the first half.

Although the entire game changed after the batted pass/missed FG. Those two plays defined the rest of the game.

Cassell cannot lead this team to a comeback. Against good teams this will always be a problem. He makes bad decisions when the team needs him to step up.

We were behind the entire game and Cassel kept tying the game and putting us into position to score.

Succop missed FG to tie....Atlanta scored again

Albert whiffs a block, Cassel gets blindsided and fumbles...Atlanta scored again

Moeaki weak arms a catch and tips it, gets picked off...Atlanta scored again

RINGLEADER · 09-09-2012, 02:00 PM

Cassel can't win when the game falls on him.

He's like a bad actor. A bad actor can pull it off 90% of the time. It's that 10% of the time they can't that makes them a bad actor.

**BigMeatballDave** · 09-09-2012, 02:00 PM

In the 1st half...

Last I checked, there are 4 quarters.

He played great in the first half and looked porous in the 2nd half. It all equals out to average anyway. That's what he is.

The main message I got out of this game was that he sucked under pressure. He still didn't carry the team on his back when it counted most.

There is some truth to this, actually.

Funny how you leave out the second INT when Cassel tries to throw across his body which even ultra QB homer Billick said was something QB's learn not to do in middle school.

farmerchief · 09-09-2012, 02:00 PM

Cassel looked Ok, but the missed FG set the tone for rest of game!

Yes you can. As always when we get behind he is unable to take this team on his back. Every time we scored Atlanta answered. From the start of the second half on Atlanta scored at will and Cassel did nothing to counter it.
