The OP mentions the DC, the pass rush in general and some D players by name. I think most in this thread have said that the D cost us the game today. The reason Cassel gets so much abuse is because he plays the most important position on the team and has had more crap games than good as a Chief.

Once again, this loss was not Cassel's fault but the final drive did exemplify Cassel's lackings. Cassel is not good enough.

JFC You're a ****ing moron. Go play in traffic...

Favre to Lewis comes to mind last year but most of the time if a team is trailing by a touchdown with under 30 seconds left they are donezo.

Sure thing, sparky

The poor passes there are a concern.

blahblahblahblahblah

you score 31 points on the road, you usually win. defense gave up four consecutive scoring drives, chiefs led that game until 28 seconds into the fourth qtr...

defense choked this game away, period.

It's getting really hard to come to this board and read the complete and utter dishonest BS.

Haley and Pioli have been mocked since day friggen one. the patsification of the chiefs, the process. the right 53. the incessant whining about the front seven. the incessant whining about the oline. least talented roster in the league. DJ misused. Charles misued because of Thomas Jones. Dorsey sucks. Moeaki wasted pick. Tyson Jackson wasted pick. DMC wasted pick. Weis wants Clausen. we should've drafted______________( the biggest waste of time known to man)We suck. We're gonna suck. We'll be lucky to win five games. We're years away from competing. Won our first games in spite of ourselves. Clark hunt is cheap. Clark Hunt doesn't care about winning. Pioli only cares about ex Patriots. Haley has lost the team. Haley is too emotional,etc ad nausem. Defense and ST's won't win all the games (NSS)

...and then after three measley games, that we weren't really "supposed" to win, we're somehow now playoff contenders, and Cassel is the weak link? What a load of shit. ...seems everyone has forgotten what Haley has said all along. WE AREN"T THERE YET...it wasn't going to be pretty, or fancy, or big name players. He wants a complete TEAM..yet everyone expects some friggen miracle when the organization had to be almost completely gutted, coaches and FO included, and rebuilt from the ground up. no patience, no foresight, no big picture... just unrealistic expectations from people who constantly move the goal posts.

i'm on my phone and it's a pain to go through all the pages, but I sure hope berry is getting some heat for this. if an opponent needs a td they should just look for Eric Barely.

Chiefs fans should be proud. This team can compete and contend with any team in the league right now. Two years into this transition, and you all are contenders. That's something to be proud of. I know that you can pick things apart, and a tough loss will make you want to do so... that being said: this franchise is moving in the right direction.

Next Chiefs Kingdom Show this Monday at 7:00 PM!

I don't think it's unrealistic to ask your QB to complete passes to wide open receivers when the game is on the line, but I guess that's just me.

:clap:

...more BS...
meanwhile it's toally realistic for the defense to give up 28 points when the lead is on the line.

:rolleyes:

What are you talking about here?

There are some goofy takes in all the threads, but there's also some solid analysis, which is why places such as this exist.

So you can't answer if converting all those 3rd and 4th downs were cruical plays? Don't think too hard by the time you come up with an answer and wipe the drool from your keyboard it'll be bedtime.

The defense choked at the end.

Expecting anyone to go 70 yards in 28 seconds is setting some pretty lofty expectations.
