View Full Version : Chiefs Is this the worst Chiefs season ever?

At least in recent memory...I'm not old enough to remember the seasons of the 70's and 80's.
And it may be too early to tell since there's almost 2/3 of the season left to play.
But I can't remember a Chiefs season where they come into the season with such high hopes with the return of playmakers that had season ending injuries in 2011 and what seemed to be at the time a more stable coaching staff.
But then to completely shit the bed in epic proportions.
Getting blown out in just about every game we've played, having not led in a game at any point in the season, and on pace to smash the NFL record for most committed turnovers in a single season.
I don't think I've ever had so much hope for a team going into a season and for it to completely backfire. I mean I'm not sure it can get any worse at this point, and may be the reason why I didn't really care at all about the game today.
Maybe it's just getting to that point where the Chiefs are making me not care anymore.

Seriously, with our QB situation, I didn't have any hopes for post season success. Going into the season I was just marking time. This season is one of the best possible outcomes, because I lost all confidence in Pioli between his doubling down on Cassel and wagering his career on RAC. The malpractice has been exposed, and that is a good thing.

We had silly expectations that are being completely and hopelessly shorted.
This team is worse than even I had anticipated.

At least these days you have the Internet where you can commiserate with fellow fans and engage in gallows humor. It can kind of keep you interested, to see how nuts everyone goes.
In the 70s and 80s, it was boring because you just had the bad football.

Heh, people certainly get whipped up into more of a frenzy these days. I think it's because the NFL is so much bigger than it was then, and the sports media, Internet, radio, etc...theres so much more coverage of the NFL in today's world.

Well, that and a vast reduction in game ticket and parking prices.
There were worse years like 2008; but, there were no high expectations. The problem is that this team has talent and expectations. They are failing miserably, making the fall from steeper heights, which makes it worse.
Not sure if it's the worst season ever but it's probably the worst pile of shit that someone put together in 1 spot and called a team that I've seen in many years.

Romeo Crennel is the worst coach I've seen.
I think this team has talent. They could win with a good staff.
The fact that we are losing big says a lot about our coaches. They have to be the worst in the league.

That was the worst decision (although hiring Pioli seems awfully damn close right now), but overall it was a helluva lot better season than anything we've had under Pioli.

Bullshit.
Justin Houston has a been a beast that continues to improve. Hali isn't quite where he was last year, probably due to his suspension. But there is plenty of talent on this team and more than enough for a winning record.
It's all about schemes and coaching, two things that the Chiefs are sorely lacking. A great coach would have this team more competitive and it would have a winning record.
Of course, none of that means jackshit until they get a real QB but IF they get a QB and a competent coaching staff, this team will compete next year.
Look no further than the Miami Dolphins as proof. And their GM is a fucking bozo as well.
Phobia
10-14-2012, 11:00 PM
I think analyzing most player performances with the organization in a state of turmoil is pointless. Players play up and down based on the schemes, motivation, hope, and talent around them. They've all given up at this point. Except for brief moments, they're mailing it in and cashing checks which is problematic in and of itself.
Brock
10-14-2012, 11:01 PM
I saw players all over the place quitting on plays today. If they had a QB and a coach, they'd be fine. But for now, let's just stay the course plz

Bullshit.
I just don't think our DL is very good at all. Sub rush is garbage. Secondary has holes, esp. with Berry playing like Sammy Knight.
OL has a very rough spot with Jeff Allen who has not played well. Asamoah has had some off moments.
QBs all suck.
Baldwin, McCluster are not good.
Charles and Bowe is really all they got on offense.
Also, we have absolutely no one scary at kick or punt returner. The last good kick returner we had was Jamaal Charles. LMAO
This is probably an 8-8 team with good QB play. We've gotten league-worst QB play.
DaWolf
10-14-2012, 11:11 PM
Well prior to today the most the Bucs had beaten a team by since 2010 was 6 points.
We have become that team. Worst team in the league. Too bad this isn't last year, where you have your pick of Luck or Griffin...
DaneMcCloud

It's scheme. Look around the league: Outside of a few teams that invested first round picks (and got them right, I might add), most defensive lines are pedestrian. While I think there's room for improvement, it won't take much with the right scheme to turn around the defensive line.
IMO, Belcher is as big a liability as Dorsey or Jackson.
OL has a very rough spot with Jeff Allen who has not played well. Asamoah has had some off moments.
Allen's a rookie and Asamoah is still young. Both are learning. Asamoah was hampered by Pioli's decision to sit him for his rookie season.
The NFL is 90% confidence and 10% ability.
Baldwin, McCluster are not good.
This is silly. McCluster is fine. Should he be the focal point? Absolutely NOT. As a 4th option, yes.
As for Baldwin, he's definitely lived up to his pre-draft hype. He needs some serious life lessons and some serious coaching up. The talent is there, the body and speed are there, the focus isn't.
I'm disappointed but I'm not passing judgement just yet.
Charles and Bowe is really all they got on offense.
That's because the QB sucks. There's no way that Steve Breaston just fell off the planet Earth in one off-season. The receiving corp SHOULD be Top Ten. It's all on the QB.
Also, we have absolutely no one scary at kick or punt returner. The last good kick returner we had was Jamaal Charles. LMAO
I don't consider this to be a top-line issue. If the Chiefs had a QB, proper coaching and schemes, an adequate returner would do. The problem is, when everyone's sucking, everything is under the microscope.
This is probably an 8-8 team with good QB play. We've gotten league-worst QB play.
Nah, no way. Regardless of opponents, this team with a good QB would be 3-2 now at worst and if it were a young QB (Griffin, Luck, Tannehill), it would be an ascending 3-2.
The current state of the Chiefs suckiness falls on the shoulders of one man:
Scott Pioli.

Come on man.
He had 2 catches for 19 yards today.
1 for 26 last week.
Living up to the hype? My ass.
McCluster is "fine" I guess, if you think marginal No. 4 WRs playing the slot and making absolutely ZERO big plays is "fine."
Guys like Dex aren't drafted in the 2nd...they're drafted in the 6th.

This might be the worst Chiefs team I've ever seen (thus far). Even the Thigpen-led squad made games competitive while managing to find great ways to lose games (IIRC, that team lost 3 or 4 games by less than 3 points) . This team, good grief, is just awful in all aspects. I mean, I know it's been repeated incessantly here, but they have not had a lead at any point in any game during regulation? That's some serious awfulness right there. What do we have, 20+ turnovers? That has to be some kind of record.
What is so amazing is the dumpster fires that continue to pop up around this team in the wake of the on-field suckage...Crennel saying all the wrong things, Winston waving his own lit farts in the fans direction, stories surfacing about a contract extension for arguably the worst GM in the NFL, then subsequently suppressing them.
This team is a complete and utter debacle from the top right on down to the custodians.

You're missing the point: He's a fucking diva in need of serious coaching and maturation.
McCluster is "fine" I guess, if you think marginal No. 4 WRs playing the slot and making absolutely ZERO big plays is "fine."
He's a third down guy. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'd say fifth, like Jacquizz Rogers. But I've acknowledged on several occasions that Pioli fucked up the 2010 second round.
He's a better player than Arenas.

He certainly wouldn't have been my choice but with proper coaching and a good QB, he has a chance to be an effective red zone and third down weapon.
But with these coaches and QB's? Not a chance.
