He missed Moss at least twice when Moss had a few steps on the corners. He overthrew receivers on swing passes. He threw an interception on a screen pass. He has trouble hitting any receiver outside the numbers. His one long pass today should have been intercepted, his previous completed long passes have been more the result of receiver skill than anything on Cassel's part. You might attribute some of this to lack of chemistry or bad protection (the schemes of which are admittedly designed around Brady's super-quickj delivery that makes them look better than they actually are), but I simply attribute it to him being a lousy quarterback. He stares down his receivers and he has no ability to feel the rush, and he doesn't step up into the pocket either.
One of the "routes" that he missed Moss on was one that Moss actually gave up on and didn't put his arms out for. Another one, when Moss was on the sidelines, Moss was covered and Cassel threw the ball away because it was that or get plastered by the sack.
One of the "swing passes" he intentionally over-threw because Will Allen had it played perfectly.
Its just plain DUMB to say that the long passes that Cassel has thrown have been completed only because of the receiver. It shows you don't know about the skills of the game at all.
How can you attribute to him being a lousy QB when the O-line hasn't given him adequate time?
Doesn't step up into the pocket? You haven't watched the games, clearly. Whenever he's stepped up, he's gotten plastered because the interior linemen haven't been able to hold their blocks properly.
As for watching the games, I guess you're right. I had a hard time doing so when I was at the stadium for all three of them.
As for the Dolphins, they're not a good team and had no business beating the Patriots. Are you going to tell me the Jets and Chiefs are any good, too? Of course they're not, the Patriots beat them!
No offense, but you being at the stadium doesn't mean squat. You don't get the benefit of the replays and definitely not in the clarity or with the over-all view. HDTV is such a wonderful thing.
The Dolphins are clearly a better team than you are able to give them credit for. The played MUCH better than the Patriots. And that means ALL 45 men on the game roster. From Randy Moss to Ray Ventrone. The Patriots got abused. The Patriots didn't deserve to win that game and its ignorant to say that they did. As Belichick said during his press conference. They got out played and out coached. From top to bottom.
You clearly don't understand the phrase "Any Given Sunday". Please, go learn what it means.
