there's still a bitter taste in my mouth even if the bolts beat the pats. It would have meant more to us if Tom Brady was there. Oh well.

ueah, it's almost disturbing to watch. he seems so confused out there and with 4 years leatning the offense it's pathetic.

he has the old "tall, strong arm" thing going but really, he just doesn't seem to get it. he missed wide open passes all night.

maybe he is just afraid of getting hit :shrug;

put in guitterez already,damn.

strong arm??? The guy has a weaker arm than Pennington. It's t bad he is not as accurate as Pennington.

But yes, Cassel lacks the starting QB approach. He would be great in dodge ball....but this is football.

Well...if Brady was there the score probably would have been 42-30, Pats.;)

So do I get to come in here and whine and cry like the chargers fans since the refs took the game away from the Broncos with a bullshit call?

Nah, you'd do that even if there was no bad call.

Pass interference call that was clearly not even close to pass interference, would of forced a Jacksonville punt since it was incomplete.

We got a PI call that was nowhere near PI. The ball was over and past the guys head before he was even touched. If he caught it he would have caught it and THEN been pummeled.

They would have had to punt, and we could have at least had a chance to tie it up instead of them getting to sit on the ball with their newfound downs.

That's the 2nd game recently that the Jags won because of a PI call. See the game vs. the Colts a few weeks ago, the Jags receiver RAN INTO Freddie Keiaho on either 3rd or 4th down, and the ball was no where near him, but Walt "the worst ref in the NFL" Coleman calls it a PI. Ball moves up, they kick a 51 yarder, game is over.

Just broke on ESPN that Tony Romo will be out for the next month with an injury. Brad Johnson, who I didn't even realize was still in the NFL, will be starting. link

That's because they would have absolutely won the Broncos game, 100% guaranteed, if that call was made correctly. HUGE difference.

naw, he has big arm, he just doesn't understand where to throw the ball. he could make the deep throws if he wasn't so afraid of stepping into the ball and if he had any idea where his receivers will be. he's gotta get benched imo, give guittterezz a shotat least.

true that. tho, i doubt the chargers o would've had the time to score 30, so maybe 42-17. brady wouldn't have so forgiving to the chargers d, who blew coverages all night.

i think the players are gonna start quitting on cassell. they were clearly pissed last night.

This week proved something I've been arguing with a lot of people. Beat who is on your schedule and the opponent's W/L record doesn't really matter. I've had to defend the Titans record due to their opposition's record for the past few weeks. The Redskins, up until this week the 'hottest' team in the NFL, plays the worst team in the league and loses.

There is so much parity in the league that I don't care who your opponent is you better come to play each week and take care of business.

I just read that. Ouch. Tough "break" for the C'boys. That won't help the 2 game losing streak any.

exactly. thats why all the pre-season speculation about "strenghth of schedule" has always been so much garbage.

people laugh at the fins but they come to play every week.

Well, its almost 6 on the east coast so ESPN's pre-pregame should be ending soon and the pre-game starting.

I call Giants winning by 10.

Nice job by your coaching staff, getting Cassell playing time last year proved Bellicheats true genius.

Can't cheat = no more winning for you. Maybe you can still slip some HGH by the league or come up with a new way to cheat, there is still hope......

to be fair if the call was made as it should have been then the chargers would have won. there is no quesiton on that.

the blown call really did change the outcome of the game.

officating has been really really bad this year.
