Fans on ChiefsCrowd.com are echoing what I think. The first half was horrible and there are questions about Matt Cassel’s(notes) ability as a quarterback. It took him an entire half to get involved. “Chief Tyler” said of Cassel, “He’s not capable of picking it up…. It feels good to be 2-0, but as long as Cassel is under center a…meltdown is just one Cassel touch away.” Cassel only threw for 176 yards with two interceptions as the Chiefs didn’t score on offense against the Browns.
Other sentiments are echoed in the fact that the Chiefs are 2-0 because of head coach Todd Haley. Despite the ugly win in Cleveland, a win is a win. “You can’t have a guy like McCluster on the field and not be able to get him the ball,” said “Brish” on ChiefsCrowd.com.
Most fans are glad for the turnaround, but are also cautious about how well the Chiefs will do down the line. The first victory was emotionally charged, at home, and the special teams were great. The second victory the offense was sputtering and special teams were not existent on punts.
