Cassel played extremely well today. I was really impressed with his vision and his play under pressure. We've all seen him gradually improve this season, even if it's been one step forward, two steps back at times. I can honestly say that even though I had high hopes with him working with Charlie Weis and expected improvement, I never thought I'd see Matt Cassel play as well as he did in Seattle this season.
And as for Todd Haley, sitting on the ball with 2:00 minutes left in the game was fucking awesome! That's class, Folks, and more than makes up for the Denver faux pas.

If this is the case, then Clark Hunt should immediately pay Carroll $20 million a year to attend all Chiefs games. [Reply]

This.
I warned my friend and his wife that I'm likely to say some very harsh things about Cassel in a loud tone before the game started. I shut the fuck up the whole game. I'm nearly dropped a cock-load in my drawers when he converted that 3rd down to Bowe when the DE came unblocked. [Reply]

If he can stay around this zone, I'm sold.
If he can keep throwing 4 TDs a game and no INTs, you're sold? [Reply]

I don't even know how you can suggest it with a straight face.
