1-5...Where do we go from here?

It seems to me the Chiefs are in a spot where it's very unlikely that we'll be able to salvage the season. If that's the case, is it better to just let the season go, and go for a high ranking draft spot, or fight and scrap for every win we can get, and settle for where a 7-9, 8-8 or 6-10 draft position will put us?

If we go through a coaching/management change (which after the Bucs game is very likely), I'd rather play our backups and rookies and see what we've got on the benches, and then focus on getting a franchise QB. It would suck having to approach a game with a mindset of losing, though.

This is the logical idea. This season is done. Mathmatically, no. But this team can't win a game, yet alone a division. So,mix some backups in throughout the games and get some evaluations of whats on the bench and how they perform in a game scenario. That's the only positive I can really see from this season. At least you can use the ton of games left, to find out what you have on the bench.

Looking at Sundays game, it does not seem that moving the chains is the problem.

it's getting no points off of an interception on their side of the field to start the game.

We throw an interception to them -they do get more points

It's the fumble at our 19 yard line to start the 3rd quarter-they score-to the D's credit they held them to a field goal.

we move the ball down the field from our 20 to their 12 and, field goal again

we move the ball from our 46 to their 12 again, get sacked to the 24 and boot another FG.

we move the ball from our 22 to their 34-FG again

we move the ball from our 20 to their 24-intercepted

we get another garbage TD with little over 2 minutes left.

we seem to be able to move the ball when we can hold onto it.
