Still waiting for an answer... And to say he didn't put the team in position to win just isn't true he threw 3 td's and the offense scored 31 points.

You're right. He should have.

I don't think it's unrealistic for a defense to hold a lead, but that's just me.

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.

I agree 100%

To some, we are running in quick sand and lost the division today.

Remember last week when people were begging for Croyle to be the starter?

I agree.

I also agree with those that claim that if the offense had done their job in the 4 minute drill, the defense wouldn't have been put in a position to potentially fail.

There's plenty of blame to go around, on both sides of the ball and on the coaching staff.

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.

This is just blithering drivel, and it seems quite obvious you didn't even read the thread you're bitching in.

McGraw is the guy who lost Andre Johnson in the endzone.

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

I didn't expect Cassel to go 70 yards. I expected him to complete a couple of short passes and give the receivers a chance to make somebody miss.

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

:rolleyes:

What? This makes absolutely NO sense.

Cassel plays on the offense: He's not a defensive player.

JFC, your "arguments" really suck.

While the D was the main reason we lost. No one is arguing this, really. However, the QB still needs to make plays to put games away when given a shot.

This is correct. Way too many strawmen floating around here.

Yeah, then people would freak out that he did not push the ball down the field after the WRs get tackled 15 yards down the field

I'm talking about the possession before that. The failed 3rd and 2.

I can only guess that this means you're in the "the offense scored 31 points, therefore they are above blame" camp?

The offense's job was to grind down the clock and end the game in the victory formation.

They failed.

That put the defense on the field - again - who's job was to keep Houston from scoring, particularly keeping them out of the EZ.

They failed.
