The 18 attempts I don't have a problem with. When you are running the ball the way we did you shouldn't have to pass much. That being said the problem was the 18 attempts going for shit yards.

Again, we were running all over the Ravens. The PA Pass was there to be exploited and 9-12 of those 18 attempts should have been over the top for 20+ yards. FFS, Steve DeBerg would have lit shit up yesterday.

And in the process of lighting it up, he would have thrown more than 18 passes.

That's the whole thing - the way they ran the ball in the 1st half almost dictates that you HAVE to pass or you risk the defense just stuffing the box and shutting you down.

Which is precisely what happened.

INT#2 was on Bowe because that ball should have been caught.

But I will say this....Cassel needs to put the ball where it needs to be......and yet he NEVER does that and ALWAYS relies on our big bodied WR's to extend and catch the ball high. Ya know if you do that all the time the chances that you'll throw an INT from a tipped pass increases A LOT. Normally you'd like for Bowe to come up w/ that catch but Cassel needs to place the ball better.....as that's been a problem his whole KC career.

The first one was Cassel's fault....he rarely sees a play develop. Most time the play has already developed and the ball gets there too late or he makes the bad pass where the WR has to adjust, fall down or jump to where the defender will gain ground on his coverage. Bowe was open, but by the time Cassel got the ball out, Bowe was blanketed by a WR who was able to get his hand in there enough to deflect the pass. 1 second sooner that's a completed pass.

Inaccurate QBs have more drops, more tipped balls, more INTs.

Sheer probability.

Yep.

Just look at Sanchez last night. JJ Watt made a good play on the tipped ball towards the end of the game but when you watch the play develop from behind the Jets, you can clearly see that the "open" WR in the end zone was WAY left of where Sanchez was going with the ball.

And yeah, the WR should have caught that last pick but it was a high throw.

He's the same player he's always been. He's a good player.

And a big, dumb jock.

Poe has not shown up as a liability as the raw player is was drafted as. How's he rating out?

[Hammock Parties]

He actually had his best game Sunday.

Positive rating by the thinnest of margins.

Extension time for Pioli.

I just re-watched the game and focused on him alot and that's about the way I saw it.

DL looks better without Dorsey already.
