In Matt Cassel's defense

[sureletsrace]

He had more passing yards than Aaron Rodgers.

So, at least there's that.

Right?

Any attempt to make Cassel look better after a game like today is going to accomplishing no more than putting lipstick on a pig.

the defense rests/

In his defense, he has Garrett as his head coach.

This game reminded me of the Pats game a few years ago, Romo threw 3 picks against the Lions and Garrett played conservative against the Pats the following week.

Come on people, not even one like?

I'm in here killing it and you're not helping me out!

There are so many examples like this.
In 2009, we ran with Barber 3 times in a row on the goal line against the Broncos, and he got stuffed. The next game (chiefs), in a similar situation, we throw 3 times, and nothing. Garrett is a mangina

 

[Joe_Fan]

In his defense, he has Garrett as his head coach.

... and Scott Linehan as his OC.

Rodgers didn't play the whole game either. ....Cassel did

.....great point. He has only looked decent when he replaced Brady. NE helped him get paid and secure work. He has stunk on a regular basis since leaving NE.

That is what good coaches do. They make players look better. Every time Brady has been hurt they have done well with the back up QB. That is not a coincidence, it is coaching. On the other hand we have Garrett and the results prove all we need to see. He gives us no advantage on game day. Romo has made Garrett look much, much better than he really is. Without Romo, Garrett isn't even in the bottom tier of NFL coaches.

This is all you need to know about Matt Cassel

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Lol 13-25 for 97 yards. And what, 65 of them are dump offs to dmac lol

 

[John813]

And he has Free as his RT

Weeden taught him well

If it was time for a change after the NE game despite putting up plenty of points vs. Atlanta and N.O, it is certainly time for a change after two miserable performances vs. NY and Seattle. It's clear Cassel doesn't know the offense or the receivers well enough, and his arm is very suspect.

I think you go back to Weeden and hope he learned something the past two weeks, or you go to one of the other young guys, but we must put up points vs Philly while avoiding turnovers.

 

[mattjames2010]

That was one of the the most dominant performances I've seen in a while against an elite QB.

Wade Phillips is a fantastic DC.

 

[cowboyblue22]

yes cassel is awful and they probably wont win a game until tony gets back but the broncos was the windshield and the packers was the bug

 

[punchnjudy]

Moore, Weeden, or Garrett next week.

All roads probably lead to 2-7, but at least the narrative in between the losses would change a little bit.

 

[Thorsson]

Weeden once threw a 98-yard TD pass to Josh Gordon in Cleveland. That's more yards than Cassel had all game yesterday. Play Weeden until Tony comes back!

LOL. You're on fire today.
