Matt Cassel was supposed to make his return to New England this week When the season schedule was released, two thoughts went through my mind 1. I hope we have an NFL season (remember, it was still the lockout) 2. What games are most intriguing? There is a difference between “good” and “intriguing”. Good games are games such as the Jets games or the Eagles game, games that look as if will be between two teams at the top of their games. An intriguing game has a secondary story that we want to see play out. The Giants game would be a good example of this because it was the rematch of Super Bowl XLII (excuse me while I bang my head against my desk).

The guy who hadn’t even started a game since his high-sch...

Matt Cassel’s Return to New England Will Likely Not Happen

If Matt Cassel’s 2011 season couldn’t get much worse, it just did as he could very well not only miss Monday night’s battle against the New England Patriots, but also he could miss the remainder of the season. According to multiple sources, the Kansas City Chiefs have revealed that their starting quarterback has a severe injury to his right hand, and it’s likely that...

Time to Draft A Franchise Quarterback in Kansas City

Matt Cassel was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009 and was given a $63 Million contract.

He has done well for himself in KC, including leading them to the Division Championship last season. For...

Tom Brady Disappointed Matt Cassel Won't Get to Play Monday Against Patriots

FOXBORO, Mass. -- So much for Matt Cassel's reunion. Monday would have served as an entertaining opportunity for Cassel to reunite with some of his former Patriots teammates when the Chiefs visit Gillette Stadium. And, in all likelihood, the New England crowd would have had the chance to thank Cassel for leading the Patriots to an 11-5 record when he replaced Tom Brady in 2008...

A lack of QB depth is Pioli's fault

With all due respect to summer humidity, highway potholes and the Kansas City school district, Matt Cassel is our town's favorite complaint. Even Dan Beebe agrees with this. Some of it Cassel comes by honestly, you know. He isn't all that talented. His reads are often slow, just like his feet. He's suspect on deep throws, and his group interviews are usually as entertaining...

Chiefs May Lose QB Matt Cassel For Season With Hand Injury

Chiefs coach Todd Haley revealed that his signal caller, Matt Cassel, will likely need surgery for an injury he sustained to his throwing hand in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel might miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his right hand on Monday night, but coach Todd Haley isn’t ready to count him out just yet.

Week 11 Defense/ST

T’s Getting Defensive With Patriots vs KC The Patriots have not been very good this year defensively, but last week they had a nice game against the Jets, and now they Tyler Palko and Jackie Battle.  You heard that right.  Not quite the same ring to it as Matt Cassel and Jamaal Charles huh? Play ‘Em Cowboys @ Was  Rob ...

Matt Schaub and Matt Cassel Most Likely Out for the Year
