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.
Yep. I think it was his first game as a Chief where I literally was NEVER annoyed with him. He even converted a couple key 3rd downs. Kudos to him. [Reply]
Cassel had good pocket awareness today. I had ragged on him earlier for having nervous feet but I think he's going to be okay. Hope Albert gets back in the lineup as B Richardson struggled at LT. [Reply]

Bring on the Broncos!!
I agree, Cassel did play very well, throws were crisp and mostly on the money, not everyone is always going to hit 100%, but he obviously was playing to impress Carrol that he was good enough [Reply]
Best game as a Chief for Cassel today. He actually had some pocket presence today when blitzed and made some smart audibles. He and Bowe are really starting to click. Hope it continues.
I have been one of MC's harshest critics, but he has played well the last couple of weeks. Even looked really good today, especially on almost every 3rd down. [Reply]
