Chiefs Can someone fill me in....

I watched the Chiefs game against the Texans. I thought Cassel looked pretty good.

Considering....

1) He had two guys (Darling and Copper) I'm not even sure will make the final roster as his starting WR's

2) He had two dropped passes past the first down marker that hit the receiver in the breadbasket and would have extended the drive.

3) They ran the ball a ton

4) penalties KILLED the drives.

Now granted he fumbled the ball. Even in the rain he should handle the snap, but that was about all he did badly IMO. Did I miss something else? Why all the hate for Cassel?

I haven't been around here as much before today, so I don't know, but I was happy with what Cassel accomplished. I thought he had some poise, and showed some leadership. I also didn't see any terrible throws, which I saw multiple per game last year from Tyler Thigpen. I'm pleased with game 1.

He was definitely hamstrung by the idiots on the field with him.

Sadly, he'd better get used to it.

Because many here aren't happy unless they're bitching.

They (offense) never got into a groove mainly because of those dropped passes, that would have been first downs.

The offensive game plan was very Solariesque so it wasn't like he was given this giant opportunity to showcase his skills.

If Gailey keeps calling games using the RRPP Hailey will take over that duty by week three.

WHAT game plan? It was the first preseason game.

True, but its ridiculous to think that Hailey did not have a plan of things that he wanted to see in the first game. His game plan may have been to play vanilla and see if guys line up correctly or not commit any penalties, who knows.

Well, yeah, but that's not a GAMEPLAN. All Saturday night was was a glorified practice.

No, they didn't game plan for the Texans, but they did have a plan to meet certain objectives, that's a game plan.

The game plan was WR screens and run's, with an occasional ole' block by a random OL to hit the QB. With a couple of tosses forward just to make sure the ball could move in that direction without destroying the space time continuum, which also explains why the receivers were afraid to hold onto the ball. If that isn't a scheme for a game, I don't know what one is.

“So I thought defensively there were definitely some positives. Offensively, again with the game plan and how we went into it, the turnovers are probably what had me down in the tank the most on the flight back up here. We can’t make those kinds of mistakes and have a chance to win.”

Someone tell this "genius" he doesn't know what he's talking about. ChiefsPlaneteers have spoken.
