This had nothing to do with resting starters. All of the problems the Packers had today, dropped passes, poor defense, sloppy play, were issues during the last part of the season. The Packers played and looked just like they did against the Chiefs.
The defense did its job, but the Jets have a **** offense with only one legitimate playermaker. Playing well against them is a good start, but not a cause for celebration.
The Chiefs had a young player they wanted to start and Waters had too big of a name and was earning too much money to be a backup there. Cutting him wasn't really that bad of a decision.
I find it hard to excuse Manning for this one, especially considering the Jets have no real pass rush. He played the game exceptionally conservative and cost his team a win tonight.
Re: OT:Cassel remains steady in face of criticism
Based on what, reputation? The Chiefs are the number one running team in the league, have only given up 2 sacks, only one of which was the line's fault. I've watched every KC game this year and Cassel has had time to throw.
Re: OT:Cassel remains steady in face of criticism
The offensive line is not terrible. It's actually a good run blocking line, and the pass protection has been good this year and the end of last year. Cassel doesn't help things with his poor pocket awareness either, he's one of those QBs...
Re: Chiefs VS SD game thread
Cassel's awful pocket presence doesn't help the pass protection. He shares some blame for that and his general inaccuracy throwing the ball.
Despite his size and occasional big hit, Page is a poor tackler and isn't great in run support. He's not a guy you want in the box all that much. He's done a pretty good job of covering TEs like Gates though.
