I am not pushing the panic button yet because aside from Denver and Buffalo there is not really any team in the AFC standing out right now
BUT
The reality check is here and its the fact we do not have the comeback kid Brady on this team this year which of course means Cassel is in to manage the team and that simply means this team is not capable of making comebacks when trailing by 10 or more points.
Only an idiot will not agree that the team will lose any game when trailing anytime in the second half by 2 or more scores so if this team is going to win 10 games this year like some of you believe, its going to have to have the lead,be tied or trail by less than 7 every time going into the 3rd and 4th quarters or a loss will be the case.
Cassel is not QB TD machine,never will be - so the dink and dunk passing and staying close throughout most games is the only way this team gets to the playoffs - 19 passes for 131 yards and a poor rushing attack will never win games unless the defense plays so well that it gets turnovers and puts the offense deep into the opponents end zone,the defense sucked plain and simple yesterday and Cassel's safety net which has been the defense was not there to help.
So hope and pray that the team never trails by 10 or more in any game because 'Brady,the comeback kid' is not here to get it done this year.
BTW: I do not totally blame Cassel for the loss even though he cannot bring a team back from trailing,The defense sucked and looked old yesterday - Joey Porter said what he was going to do and the defense was Ronnie Brown's b!tch - Hope to not see more like this going forward.
