Then he goes and pulls this crap of telling everyone he is leaving to go to Florida 2 weeks before the end of the season. Look how the whole offense collapsed after that. Cassel, 4 Ints in 2 games. He was fine for most of the year, but after the announcement he seemed to take a step back.
In the Ravens game, same thing. With a 3 point behind score at half time, the Chiefs came out and their very first formation was 5 wide. Bowe was not even targeted at all. They seemed desperate and forced turnovers. Now not all the blame should go on the coaches, but I think its a HUGE factor.
What is your take on this whole Weiss ordeal?
I do think his playcalling was very predictable. On the flip side, I think he purposely kept the gameplans simple to make up for Cassel's inherent flaws. The theme of a pro-style offensive attack (what Weis uses) is designed for a mediocre QB with limited ability, i.e. Cassel. It deliberately keeps a QB's potential mistakes in check, hence why Cassel had so few INTs.
Until we get an Aaron Rodgers - type QB that can improvise, I think an ordinary offense would be the best thing for us. We saw what happened the last two weeks when Cassel was taken outside of the comfort zone and forced to make plays, couldn't do it.
Decree from Chiefster: You have mentioned he who can not be mentioned here. You are BANNED!!!! BANNED I SAY!!!!!!
