Pioli didn't want any competition against his $60 million QB, therefore Orton goes. Another Pioli screw-up in an attempt to cover up another Pioli mistake.

The first drive in the second half we put together that scoring drive to bring us to within 14. Then the Defense has a 3 and out and you could tell the entire crowd was on the edge of their seats. Holy cow are we really going to do this again? Then we go punt, punt, fumble for the next 3 drives. Heck we even put them to 27-20 in the 4th with 7 minutes left. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was talking about Cassel's pick 6 and how we'd be tied right now. After that...well you know the rest.

I think the thing that pissed me off the most, even more then the 6 turnovers was that after classless Dolts scored a TD to put the game out of reach they do an onside kick. Yes you read that right. Fourteen points up and 2 minutes left in the game and they onside kick. I couldn't believe it. Even the Charger fans there were in shock and disliked the call.

I'm hanging this loss on Cassel, sorry Cassel fans. Yes there were other turnovers which helped. But if you take off that pick 6 its an entirely different ball game. Add to it Cassel's poor throws, not going through the progressions and overthrowing 2-5 yard dump passes and I've had enough.

The biggest thing to me to say how bad Cassel is... On the last TD to Bowe, the entire crowd yelled and some screamed BOWE. Then and only then does Cassel throw the ball to Bowe. I don't think he saw him before that but there was audible noise and screams of throw it to Bowe!!

It was a terrible underthrown pass TD to Bowe at that.
