Dwayne bowed dropped a sure td pass and they should have went for the fg at the beginning. Not to mention the conservative playcalling. Cassel was just caling the plays he was told to do. You cassel haters need to get a life.

I'll start off by saying that I didn't get to watch the entire game. Something about having 8.5 lbs brisket and 9 lbs of pulled pork just off the smoker that is a big distraction.
With that said what I did see Bowe played horribly and that's said with me liking him as a player. He needs to get his head out of his @ss or be ready to be dropped, put to a #2 receiver or traded. No excuse for how he played.
To those of you defending Cassel I ask how? Sure if you throw in the passes that got dropped he was better. By reverse logic Bowe didn't play that bad if he'd have caught those passes.
When I did see Cassel he was wildly inaccurate not to mention the HORRIBLE throw he had towards the end of the game that landed on the turf 10 yards in front of his receiver. Not to mention that whole point where he looked like he'd just got done eating a turkey leg and let the ball get away from him not once but twice!
Yes he was being hurried but good lord it's the NFL...he's not supposed to have time to have a beer and then throw the ball. Ok, maybe Canada could have drank a beer and thrown the ball but that's cause he drinks really really fast. Couldn't resist Canada. ;)
Bottom line Cassel didn't have a good game either. I swear I'm not trying to be a jack@ss here but can we please just discuss what did happen instead of what could of happened?

I agree with you overall. I also saw good passes from Cassel. That's the thing, my opinion of him is 50/50 considering all factor's & circumstance, and has been related to his game. I'm retaining faith by the end of the season we'll see 75/25 positive/negative game from Cassel, so am reserving final judgement until season end. Although I at times question myself as to why, haha...I'm gonna give Bowe the same benefit of doubt till season end. That is if Haley doesn't bench him sooner, & I'm able to continue watching his game, haha.

I dunno, maybe it's not an accurate comparison because today's NFL game is different from that of the 60's & early 70's. However, Lenny Dawson led us to Super Bowls I and IV, winning IV...and he wasn't considered a superior top QB in the NFL either back then, nor even now in the history books & NFL stats. In many ways, Cassel's game reminds me of Lenny's. :)
We honestly don't need a Manning type QB hero, no team does...what we need is a consistent, dedicated, do your job, well rounded team on both sides of the ball, that of which we had winning Super Bowl IV.

I think that anther thing that some have forgot is Charles fumble. That was anther killer. We had a nice drive going and Charles put the football on the ground. Anther thing that is not Cassles fault. Cassle has not been great but he also has not be terrible like some think.
Well let us also not forget that Cassel put the ball on the ground too. He had it in both hands and just... dropped it. That was another nail in the lid of the coffin. While it did not result in a turnover, neither fumble did, they were both contribitions to a disappointing loss.
Are you man enough? Eric Berry? Apparently Not!
I personally didn't agree with the decision to go for it on 4th and 2. Thought that was a terrible idea. Take the points, get the game even. Two big mistakes (that and the onside kick) early in the game. Haley knows that this team is not made to dig itself out of a hole. I understand his logic, come out with a bang and destroy the Colts. I personally think we could have gone toe to toe with the Colts and scrapped the fancy stuff.
I blame this loss on the coaching staff and Dwayne Bowe...You cannot spot Indy points..You have a chance for a chip shot FG to tie the game and you go for it? I'm fine with it against a team with a mediocre offence, but not a Manning led team...Dwayne Bowe has got to make that catch..There is you ten points that would have brought this game into OT..

I think the fact that its a Manning led offense is the reason you do go for that 4th and 2. (inside the 10) You have to keep them to FGs and score TDs. I assume that was Haleys logic and I cant argue with that. But if they did go for the FG, that would have been 3 and if Bowe got the TD it would have been a 4 point difference as we got the FG on that drive too. So really the difference would have only been 7 points. But even that FG at the start would have changed the complexion of the game. We would still have only been down by 1 score!!
