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 Cassel can build on what he's shown over the last two weeks and not revert to shitting himself, I'm thinking WR, NT and major o-line overhaul might not be a bad way to be in 2011...
An offensive line consisting of Albert/Asamoah/draftee/Lilja and Richardson will be just fine in 2011.
I can't believe that people are complaining about a last minute, make-shift line that blocked for an offense that scored 42 points yesterday.
Okay I get your point but those guys have looked SO fucking "stumble down the stairs" in their execution as of late minus some Benny Hill-esque pushing of dudes to the sidelines, that an alternative hypothesis at least deserves a look. [Reply]
Our WR corps needs an overhaul much more badly than the OL does.
One top tier, round one guy would be enough IMO. We're gonna' keep running like a motherfucker next year anyway, and you can bank on that shit. [Reply]

Maybe we could get Dan Saleaumua back to play offensive line like he did in the glory years. [Reply]

Lately meaning when we scored 29 2 weeks ago, 31 last week and 42 yesterday? [Reply]

That would be nice. I would also like a WR, a MLB, a C, a G, and possibly a NT and a RT. I really don't think it is that much of a stretch to say that we could get most of those things in a single off-season, as only a couple are premium positions, and we certainly have the money to pick up a free agent or two.

:-) Major O-line overhaul? You mean overhaul the line that is blocking for one of the best rushing duos in NFL history? You mean the overhaul the line that is 4th in sacks allowed?
That offensive line? This is why the drafturbators don't allow you to form your own opinion. [Reply]
What we need in the draft is a pass rusher to play opposite Tamba. Stude isn't that guy despite Boss Chiefs strong hopes for him, and D Williams is only a situational pass rusher. That should be our first pick.
....and a Larry Fitzgerald trade would be nice. [Reply]
