matty did impress me today with all the pressure comin down on him he stood tall had good poise and led us down the field and thats wat u want in a quaterback…wih that being said lets get him an offensive line and a couple more threats :)

rather sad when QB scrambles are half of your team’s running game

Cassel did well last drive, no question … but the rest of the game was nondescript

Our team is ruining is record. Now he is 11-9. Our O-Line is also ruining his progress.

but that guy is making plays. when we ask him to beat the defense, he typically does as long as he’s given a sliver of a chance at doing so.

The guy got hit 22 times and was almost under constant pressure. He never quit and made plays when he had to. He showed poise and toughness and leadership. I can’t wait to see what he can do when he is surrounded by an upgrade in talent.

Should be “That’s really not entirely all Cassell though.”

Forgot a not!

are giving the pats a run for their money. SMH

Still same issues on O-Line. Keeps the whole offense on its heels.

Some issues with playcalling – the delay to LJ NEVER works. Put it on the shelf, until it’s a changeup, rather than a “We suck and this is the sort of thing sucky teams do” thing.

Clearly a beatable Cowboys team. But ebb and flow of offense and defense clearly in their favor. Leggett’s comin’ a LITTLE closer against the inside move, but still a liability. Carr once again shows he has the feet, head and eyes to cover the up route. Now he just needs to believe that the ball is HIS and meet it at its highest point when he has superior position on the WR – Austin TOOK that one away from him and it was CARR’s.

Cassel’s doing about as much as you could hope, under the circumstances. I confess I got excited when Goff was slow to get up, and it seemed like Cassel had more time without Albert and Goff than he had with his starters.

Run D is starting to come together.

they’re never open.

Both were running for their lives, Rodgers threw for more yards but Cassell came thru in the clutch. Once we get some playmakers on both sides of the ball, well be good again.

Todd Haley did not look like the raving lunatic I keep hearing about. Did I miss something?

but where was Bowe the first 3 qtrs? why can we not get him the ball more…he is stilla beast. And 1 thing about him that pisses me off more than anything is the delay of game penalties, where he is completely oblivious of the play clock…like he doesn’t even look to see how much time is on it.

is the number of quick, short passes when we need anywhere from 10-20 yards. And I’m not talking about dump-offs, I’m talking about quick delivery passes to the RB or WR for 4 yards, and not taking time to let anyone get further down the field.

Its very possible some of these plays are by design, just to get a few yards and punt the ball. But I feel like there are a few plays every game where he zips it in right away for 4 yards and a quick tackle, when he wasn’t right about to get hit and had to get rid of the ball.

Am I not seeing things correctly? I’m a Cassel fan and all that, I think he’ll be great, but I haven’t seen anyone else critiquing this over the last couple weeks and wonder if I’m just seeing things incorrectly. He’s not always going to get sacked by the time the receivers are 4 yards down the field, I wish more attempts were targeting receivers PAST the first-down marker.

Thoughts?

of whether or not he played well the fact remains that they lost, he didn’t play well enough and neither did anyone else on the team. They simply lack talent as a team. I don’t know of one pro bowl caliber player on this team, not one. Sure we hope Brandon Flowers or Dwayne Bowe can be those players but as the saying goes: “wish in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which one fills up faster.” This team has lost 28 of the last 30 games they played, that is astoundingly bad. Albert, Waters, Dorsey, LJ, DJ, Cassell need to be top tier talent for us to win and they simply are not. This team in its current formation is not going to be a winner, its simply not. I hear “oh we are improving, there are signs of life, they didn’t give up.” But you know what the fact remains they haven’t won a game since November 30, 2008, preseason or other wise! Blame it on the coach, blame it on the bad drafts, blame it on the players; it doesn’t matter because you know what? They are all correct, every last aspect of this team is below average and has been for a while now. I’m tired of watching my team find ways to lose games, my god have they found ways to lose games. Remember the Vikings preseason game, how bout the Bucs or Chargers last year or the Raiders a few weeks ago? How do you lose them all, how is that possible? Answer: this is a bad team plain and simple.

He holds the ball for SOOO long. This will be a great attribute when we get better receivers and a better line, but right now he’s missing that internal clock that will help both him and the team. He must learn to just throw it away.

We lost a LOT of yards today because he held it too long (even if that “too long” is less time than any other QB gets).

Right now it’s like this:
HIKE, STEP, STEP, STEP, CHECK 1, CHECK 2, CHECK 3, SACK OR SCRAMBLE, PASS.

Should be:
HIKE, STEP, STEP, STEP, CHECK 1, CHECK 2, PASS!

He doesn’t have the time to go to his third checkdown and his problem is that he was going through all of his checks and STILL not throwing it. If he gets through all three and still has time he just needs to throw it away. THROW IT AWAY!

“Following the Chiefs final drive in regulation, I told a reporter next to me that this is why Cassel was brought on board.”

He was brought on board to completely fall apart at crunch time?

Matt Cassel’s vibes didn’t shatter the glass in the reporters box. He was Awesome. everybody else was bad.
