Matt Cassel Has An Appendectomy

[BroncoManiac_69]

They say it is unclear when he will be able to return, but this of all weeks when they travel to San Diego to play the Chargers, has to be a total bummer for the Chief fans.

bummer for them but at least they have a great running game to lean on if he cant play. the raiders torched the chargers on the ground and i wouldn't doubt it if the chiefs do the same thing.

Just a hint, don't use this excuse more than once...


I speak from experience...:paper:



on a side note, i just took the chiefs +7.5 yesterday and then this happens... YAY... I still think they cover but this usually extends their cushion to like +10.5 or so... missed out on 3 points by betting early...

I hope he gets better quickly. Gotta suck for him right now.

If Croyle has to play we will see how far Cassel has actually come this year.

What?

It's already apparent how far Matt has come this year. Your record indicates that.

If Croyle can just hand the ball off, then your great running game should be just fine against that Charger defense.

Let him just dump off in quick slants or whatever and not look downfield. Clock control on the ground and keep the ball out of River's hands.

I would be interested to see Croyle play. I want to see what he can do with this new offense, he has a strong arm. But I hope Cassel gets better soon.

Best of luck to Cassel... hope his appendectomy turns out better than mine.

They've made great advances in those procedures since mine though, and he had the best medical attention, I'm sure.

Here's to a quick recovery regardless.

Really?? You think so?

Our playbook appears to be so dumbed down for Cassel, IMO, and you can see it
in second half of games when defenses make adjustments to our first half offense.

Sure, he's had some good games but most of it is due to short passes and hitting
Bowe off play action.

We'll see if Croyle gets to play. If the offense looks the same with Broadie Croyle
starting as it does when Cassel is, then it's much more the system than Cassel.

Better O-line...better running game...and he's been in the system for a few years...

...and he's healthy.

In Brodie I trust....but get well soon Matt.

I have really not seen the Chiefs play much this year. Rarely do we see them here. I just go by comments by the talking heads and see the scoreboard finals.

it'll take a least 2 week for Cassel to heal. Croyle will benefit form a much better O line. if he can throw a W on Sun they may let him play vs Rams and give Cassel another week to heal.
at least its not a season ending injury.

it's a good point. a chiefs win sunday removes the chargers from contention so it'd be less of a risk to give him more of a rest against the rams the week after then

Yeah it's a good thing he's not playing. The last thing he'd need is a helmet right dab in the middle of where he had the operation.

the Bolts know Croyle can air it out. even with the bad O line he had. and he takes off with the ball. lets see em D that
