Profootballtalk.com on Pioli's extension, the truth...

[Connie Jo]

I rarely believe any thing sports media reports on a National or local level, as most report based upon hearsay, speculation, & lack of credible sources. Their "source close to the situation" is crapola most times.

Profootballtalk.com I do however, consider to be the most reliable these days for accuracy & honesty in reporting. Below is a link to their opinion on the current rumors related to Pioli's extension.

I would like to point out a comment within their article related to Pioli's extension. PFT know's who those people are & so do I. Those people who "dislike Pioli", since he came to KC, because he didn't kiss their butts like former GM Peterson. They have done their best to crucify Pioli among a fan base that typically buys any thing media says or reports as gospel. Even though much of whats been reported has been false based upon ONLY hearsay, gossip, unreliable, & non credible sources. Clark Hunt made it perfectly clear to the KC Star, which they ran a story misleading fans yet again, even after Clark made it clear.."we don't discuss our contracts with the public"...including media.

Profootballtalk.com - "There’s also a chance that folks who don’t like Pioli are pushing embellished, exaggerated, and/or fabricated facts in order to foment further fan discontent regarding Hunt and Pioli, fanning the flames so that Hunt will feel like he has no choice but to move on. Either way, someone is dead wrong on this one."

^^^ TRUTH!!

The only real problem I see is the QB issue. Cassel got his shot, Quinn could use a few more starts (maybe 3 more games). Give stanzi a go, bring in Alex "trick shot" Tanney. Anything to mix is up. Our team is in need of a QB. The draft aint till next season. See what our QBs got, use them all.

This team is a soild group of players. If you look at what happen in the following 6 games. TURNOVERS killed us. Deflected balls that were intercepted played a hugh roll in the turnover ratio. Fix that issue alone and we got a great football team. Never give up CHIEFS fans we still got a shot at winning the division. Its a very slim margin, but we can still win. GO CHIEFS

Great post.

i agree about the qb situation, now IS the time to play around w/different guys to see if any can put a spark of life into the offense...as much as i like the thought of pioli getting the boot, who replaces him in mid season.. more likely this is his last year and we replace him after the season.

It's unlikely anything would happen with Pioli mid season. Bad coach, yep, they'll get yanked mid-season...Not a GM.

Yeah I want him to go at the end of the season AND not the end. He needs to go but we need a replacement when the time comes.

I would love to see Quinn, Stanzi and Tanney get a shot! What do we have to lose, another game? LOL!! I think its crazy to at least give them a shot!! Tanney may not have been div 1 but he seriously kicked some butt!!

On that note I am starting to think we need to part ways with Nick Sirianni as our receivers coach. Everyone wants to call out the QBs but those plays are still around 50/50 with the WR being responsible too. I hear smatterings against the receivers but their play has deserved much more scrutiny.

Sirianni is a joke. Pioli must of got him on the cheap.

If Pioli isn't already fired by seasons end, he MUST do a number of things this upcoming offseason IMO. Sign some legit coaches, retain key players AND draft a 1st round calibre QB.

The same things he was suppose to do 4 years ago....
Pioli: "Man, is my face red. Know what I mean?"

[Three7s]

I don't care about Pioli as a person. The only reason he's being slandered is simple.

HE'S A TERRIBLE FREAKING GM WHO REFUSES TO ADMIT MISTAKES!

You want to keep your job here, Pioli? Get rid of Matt Cassel, dump your entire trash-filled DL, draft Geno Smith with the 1st picks, sign Bowe long-term, and try not to completely ignore obvious holes on the team. It's okay though, Scott, someone else will have to fix your mess.

Great ideas, fire EVERYONE! And who exactly is going to replace all these people the Chiefs should fire? And I mean REALISTIC scenarios.
