WEEK 1 Bills vs CHIEFS

[matthewschiefs]

It's for real this time

GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bowe's "drop" was self defense - the only thing that saved his life as Cassel yet again led a receiver right into a path to be decapitated by a safety ( just enough out in front to have to reach for it with your head turned, with a safety coming full steam right at you ). Cassel over threw receivers, was off target in general, stared down receivers, oft stepped into a pass rush, and just generally flat out sucked. The only way one cannot see that is because they don't want to.

The offense kept the defense on the field, so you combine that with poor LB & NT play, completely lacking blitz packages, and this ridiculous 2 DL pass rushing set, and its a formula for failure. But even with all of the defense's downfalls, they were all magnified by an offense that couldn't stay on the field thanks to poor play calling, poor line play and most of all, horrible QB play.

With this kind of performance, you have to seriously question the head coach. After the HC, its the QB and KC doesn't have one. In this league, you will not be a contender without a decent QB.

You don't have to convince me of anything you wrote. Bowe, while he did drop a pass, was not even remotely instrumental in this game, because of the poor defensive play.

Ultimately, I am with you, our coaching staff has never been a favorite of mine. I was a little relieved with Haley last year, but sometimes wonder if what was a product of Charlie Weiss more than Todd Haley.

At any rate, this team was not ready to play this weekend, there is no question about that, neither on offense nor defense, not even on special teams. There is more at issue here than what one week will fix. It will be a bad season I fear.

Don't lose hope, plenty of games left on the schedule.

[KCraised]

That's the problem, there are TOO many games left...ha
But thanks for the hope;-)

You're being unfair to Cassel (though the rest is pretty spot on). Cassel is a good game managing QB. He won't win you many games, but he won't lose you many games either. He's efficient, smart, and a good leader, but he isn't winning a lot of two-minute drills.

He certainly no worse than the likes of Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler, Mark Rypian, Trent Dilfer, or Brad Johnson. He's able to manage us to a SB if we have a good enough defense and run game. We don't, obviously, though.
