Two words Chiefs fans...

Halftime Adjustments......the biggest difference in this game. KC was hanging with Atl. But the Falcons were to make the right adjustments at halftime. That falls on the HC.

I believe the Chiefs are 2nd in the NFL as far as being under the cap w/about $14+million. Depth could be created with that coin.

The players are paid to make plays....but bottom line.....this loss should be placed squarely on the coaching staff, specifically the HC for not making the proper halftime adjustments. Atl did

THIS even a faiders fan gets it. There are far more people to blame then the people who are getting all the blame

our offense is not built for a shoot out.. It's built to grind the clock and slowly march down the field.

We lost by 16 points to team that scored on every possesion until the end of the game when they let up and didn't turn the ball over at all.

we needed adjustments and didn't get them, atleast in the right direction that is. they made the wrong adjustments.

3rd HC in 5 years.
5th OC in 6 years.
We need a consistent coaching staff. It's gonna take a couple years - providing we can keep our current staff.

I absolutely agree. And this is my biggest knock on Pioli.....

But it is actually five OCs in four seasons.

2009 - Gailey, then Haley
2010 - Weiss
2011 - Muir
2012 - Daboll

I'm enjoying some of these debates regarding Cassel, Pioli, etc.

Seriously, keep 'em coming. I haven't watched the game, yet. But I will, once it becomes available via my NFL GameRewind subscription.

I'll be watching things closely, just to see how much Cassel really is to blame, like I've seen posted all over the web.

Do yourself a favor and skip it Cassel is as much to blame as anyone else I will admit that but he's not alone in the blame like some are making it out to be when a game gets that bad it's never 1 person

No, I'm going to watch it. As I said before and reiterated on the Game Day thread:

I was right. If they stop them on that play and force a punt, then it would have been a different ball game.

Cassel's fumble was the result of getting hit on his blind side. You can thank Mr. Branden Albert for that one, again not Cassel's fault. Sean Weatherspoon made several of our OL look like school girls today. Especially in the 2nd half.

Plenty of blame to go around after giving up 40 points, but I don't think the blame lies on the offense.

Let's talk about how Atlanta WR's were routinely open. They weren't making great catches, they were WIDE open. We got zero pass rush, NONE.

Cassel will have bad games this season, but this was not one of them. The defense/DC carries the brunt of this home opener beatdown.

Looking forward to seeing which of the O-Lineman Weatherspoon was giving a beatdown to. I already have my suspicions.
