I'm going to begin by saying I'm a Dolphins fan and I think it's ludicrous you gave Cassel an F and then turn around and give the RBs a C- because the Dolphins had a 15-point lead going into the half.
The problem for the Patriots was that the Dolphins owned the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. New England's linemen get a big fat cup of FAIL for their performances this week. New England's receivers not named Welker get one as well. Randy Moss was alligator arming it by the 3rd quarter and Gaffney actually ducked a pass thrown at him at one point. If you really understood football, you'd understand that fault for those problems does not get hung on the QB.
Try again.

Did you watch the game, Philip? The defense definitely took the day off. But if you are going to win, you need to score some points. And on a day where special teams scored almost as much points as the offense, I'd say the QB has some making up to do..

Did you watch the game? Cassel did not lose this one, the defense did. The D-line and the LB's did not show up at all. Sure Cassel did not play great, but he not at all responsible for this loss.
And a A+ on kick returning cannot happen without a return TD.
I would try harder next time and focus on the whole team and the whole game.
