We don’t have Aaron Rodgers on the Chiefs and GB isn’t giving him up. All year you’ve bitched about Cassel, but you haven’t offered a solution. Who could the Chiefs had picked up last year that would have been better than Cassel? Who could the Chiefs pick up this year that will be better than Cassel next year? What is your solution?

Other than that, losing sucks but winning isn’t everything. Look at the Raiders, they swept their division but still missed the playoffs. Bahahaha!!!

Lets assume your right, that they’re all better than Cassel, how do you propose we get one of them to play for the Chiefs? Thats my point, there may be better QBs, but their teams aren’t going to give them up. I’d be happy to get one of those QBs, no arguement from me there.

I see things in this game a little different but a lot the same. First, we have to give credit to the Ravens defense. They are good. Agree our young team may have played scared. Second, it seems like all year long we gave up on the things that work (usually the running game). We did that in this game. I don’t know if Charles was shaken up or what, but we should have ran him some more. Weis must have been dreaming about Florida, because he called a bad game–again. Our offense couldn’t stay on the field to give our defense a break. Consequently, the defense played their butt off, but couldn’t get the Ravens off the field. We had the longest run against the Ravens in 5 years. If we could have continued to run the ball, Cassel might have had a better day. Of Cassel’s three interceptions, one was a real bad throw, one was a little high, but catchable, and one was a hell-mary on 4th and 20 something (essentially a punt, with a chance for a reception or penalty). Weis was unable to get any rhythm going on offense. Your right, Cassel looked like a rookie. This was his first playoff start since high school. Peyton Manning lost his first three playoff games and was 26-22 in his first three years. Cassel has had 10 wins in 2 of his 3 seasons starting (24-21 by my count, missing 1 start in all three seasons). I think he grew as a leader this year and hope that he learned from this experience.
I’m glad you mentioned the trainers. I mentioned it a couple weeks ago and was scared I would jinx the team. Whatever it was they did in training camp really worked. We did a great job of keeping everybody healthy. Kudos to them!!

Enjoyed the commentary from you and Argin this year. I hope we have an active off-season, so we can get on here and debate. My first thought is to draft a center or WR. Go Matt Cassel and Go Chiefs!!

For the webmaster: I love your website. One recommendation for next year, is to provide a link on gameday so we can discuss a game after it’s over or even during the game. Sometimes, we have to wait a couple days after a game to talk about it.

I can’t imagine what was going through Weiss’s head in the second half. I believe Weiss was more to blame for Cassel’s under-achieving day than Cassel himself. Running more in the second half would have taken pressure off of him both psychologically and literally in terms of the pass rush. Thank God he’s gone.

Cassel took a lot of abuse because of the line in the Oakland game, but he brought the pressure on himself Sunday by holding the ball way, way too long.

My only difference in veiwpoint is that I see Cassell as someone who is growing into the leader role and in the last two weeks, he has had the snot hammered out of him. The defensive lines that we faced, and the blitz packeges that were thrown at us simply were not handled by our O-line and backs. I especially noticed #67 Richardson standing around counting how many defenders he could let pass by him.

Bottom line…6 win turn around…AFC West Champs…Playoff game at home…It feels like when we started to turn things around w/ Marty in 89-90

Love those Chiefs!
