This Clown should be cut tonight. He is absolutely INEPT. These are the games when Tom Brady steps up and takes control when our defense is off and we win by 3. Simms?, Oconnel?, Gutierrez?, How abou Zolak???? Anybody but please NOT CASSEL.. This guy is rock bottom AWFUL.

Cassel deserves his share of the blame, but the performance of the line was just as pathetic as it was during the Super Bowl. And Tom Brady didn't step up and win that game by 3, either.

I am not comparing Cassel to Brady. I am just saying that no QB can succeed with that poor a performance run blocking and pass blocking.

I am not a coach but Cassel should be selling programs. I could see this pre season game 1 and even last year. We need someone back their that has some game experience. Why does every other team move vertical and we always, always move horizontal. Cassel throws like he is taking a jump shot no zip.

Get rid of Maloney and Watson they appear to live in the hospital. Youth there is nothing like it. It appears that the TUNA changed things in just a few months.
