I'm not a fan of Cassel, but he isn't to blame today.

Team loss.

I picked the defense, however there is enough blame to go around. I really expected us to pick up some first downs there at the end to chew up some clock and Houston timeouts. That IMHO is on the coach.

Houston is a good team and I had this game as a loss. What irritates me is we had this game. Two weeks in a row we were in the game and had good opportunities to win game that I was certain we would lose badly. It will be interesting to see how the team handles this loss and how they will respond at home next week.

I do agree, but I also feel like this;

If the Offense doesn't punt/kick a FG one time of those four drives, we also win.....

No question. We should have ran the clock out when we got the ball with 3:30 left.

Houston's last 4 possessions:
TD
TD
TD
TD

Ours:
TD
FG
TD
PUNT :facepalm:

Cassel isn't to blame but the D put the game on his shoulders and he couldn't deliver. It is games like this that he is getting paid for.

the D ultimately lost this game though.

Where is Crennel for his shitty defensive scheme in the 4th quarter? Prevent? Seriously?

This game should be on NFL replay this week. Good game mostly other than shitty defense on both teams. They made the critical plays when needed we didn't. Sucks to be us, but we can rebound from this and go forward.

Gotta say this rests at the feet of the D. 31 points should be enough to win on the road.

This was a team loss. I'm still excited by our young team and our coaching staff. KC is going to be good this year and much better in years to come.

I think is was the Offenses turn to end the game. The D was off today and so the the O needed to step up. 3rd and 2 and we count on cassel to comeplete the pass? Run the ball twice and even if we dont get it they have a short field and possibly leaves us enough time to get down the field and win if they scored.

I didn't get to really watch the 2nd half due to mandatory attendance at a party... but the 1st half was the best half of football I've seen Cassell play.

berry gave up 2 more tds. rookie or not, he's a liability in pass coverage right now. that and having nothing resembling a pass rush. wasn't houston even missing thei LT?

Thank you.

I'm upset, but hey, we didn't completely embarrass ourselves against two of the top teams in the AFC, on the road, coming off of half a decade of really sucking ass.

I'm oddly happy. We should learn from this, and really steamroll the rest of our schedule.

I picked defense. Just too many mistakes. You can't really blame Cassel. He didn't lose the game for us, he just didn't win it. Unfortunately "not losing it for us" is Cassel's ceiling IMO.
