First, flame away...that's fine. But, Cassel didn't lose this game for the Chiefs. Cassel didn't have much of an opportunity to lose this game.
The 4th and two on the first drive was stupid. The on sides kick was stupid, and poorly executed.
Now, lets move on. The Chiefs didn't push the ball down the field much. They were worried about Freeney and Mathis.
The Chiefs played scared. No real imagination.
They were worried about the Colts on the road, and it showed. They should have taken some shots down field.
Then, maybe we could have hung this loss on Cassel.
As it is, I put in on Haley. Not to say that I don't want Haley, or think he is a bad coach....just realize that he clearly thought the Chiefs were outclassed. He should be encouraged that the Chiefs played with the Colts the entire game. And, had a few things bounced their way, the Chiefs are winning that game.

There are some coaching decisions that were questionable.
But the fact is that Manning giftwrapped the game at multiple points in time and Cassel failed to execute the easy stuff. It's not like they were asking him to throw 20 yards downfield. He was off the mark on 5 yard passes. How can you not be accurate throwing within 10 yards.
When the most important person on your team doesn't make plays on the road against a bad defense, you have to shit on the guy's face for losing it for them.
