I agree, I put our defense collaps on our offense failures to produse long sustained drives. One of my biggest disapointment was watching Jones this season. He had a few good games but he was a drive killer for the most part especially at the start of games. I feel that Jackie Battle could have done a better job and Jackie Battle has a chance to be around for the next several seasons. Jones took away playing time from other younger guys. Yea it's nice to have a vet like Jones but not at the cost of developing players that needed to play. The excuse for Jackie not to play was he was a special teams guy. WTF. Maybe Jackie would have failed but he didn't get the chance to do either succeed or fail but we are going to need him next year. Jones has to be replaced.

I think Jones, Chambers, & Vrabel should be offered a coaching role, fine with that. They are old and no good going forward with this team. They took valuable playing time away from developing players.

610 just said Haley wanted to fire him 2 weeks ago scott told him no wow if this is true gonna get ugly around here

This is just stupid.

Please take your tinfoil hat off and step away from the keyboard.

I have always hated the TOP talk and gassing players. The offense is also out there. If you sub properly you should not be more tired then your opposition. Now it does matter for chances of winning because you control the ball longer and limit the opposition having it.

:LOL:

The problem with the game yesterday came down to really one simple fact. Talent.

While we have some awesome rookies (Berry is just going to be amazing) and young players in our secondary, Our LB's (excluding Hali who has made the transition to LB, and come out the other end a beast) and our D-Linemen leave something to be desired. Dorsey, Gilberry and Smith are getting better, but that’s about it. We desperately need a NT, a solid MLB, and another pass rusher.

The really bad part is that we draft or offensive players from the handicap Olympics. Charles is amazing, there is no doubt, but everyone else is terrible. While Cassel made some improvements at the latter part of the year, he went from being absolutely horrible, too passable as a QB in the CFL. We were all so ecstatic that he made it passed the starring down his receiver issue that we moved him up into the pantheon of greatness, when really he barely made it into the hall of "he's ok if the defense is ranked 25th or lower". Bowe had a great season, but is that because he is awesome, or because we have no other receivers to go to. I think the fact that he was completely shut out yesterday, as in not even given a look to, is a pretty big sign that he is not the player we want him to be. Great receivers find ways to be open, even more than that, coaches find ways to get them open. The O-line is a wreck. Lilja was an upgrade over last year, so was Wiegman, Waters is mailing it in, Albert is still learning, and apparently we are just cursed at RT and will never find a player that can do anything more than just be a speed bump.

Some people want to blame Weiss or Haley, and that’s fine, some of the blame definitely falls to them, like not using JC at all in the second half, how does that even happen? But no matter what the scheme was yesterday, the talent wasn’t there to pull it off. Charles runs for 9 yards three times in a row, go out for a breather, and Jones gets back to the LoS. Bowe doesn’t get open or even try to it looked like, and Cassels reverts back to shitting himself instead of being a legit QB. If you are a QB in the NFL, you should know exactly what intentional grounding is, and avoid it, not make it blatantly obvious that you’re doing it. That play right there was the beginning of the end.

Believe it when you hear that the strength of schedule is why the Chiefs got into the playoffs this year, and be prepared for next year to go back to be a sub .500 team again. Cause if they don't address the offensive needs in a major way, teams will just load up, stop Charles, and put the game on Cassel's shoulders. And, well, we all know how that ends.

Since 2003, QBs making first start in playoffs are 5-19, including KC's Matt Cassel, who lost Sunday.

This is pretty accurate. I havent seen many comments about this, but our salary was the lowest in the league.(I believe ~80 million in 2010). The annual salaries of the top teams is like 150 million, or almost double ours. Until Clark Hunt ponies up the money, we will always be competing at a disadvantage. If the Players/Owners strike a deal, I better see Clark getting out his god damned wallet. This is crap.

@BradBiggs Brad Biggs
The 5 to win in 1st playoff start since 03: Mark Sanchez, Joe Flacco, David Garrard, Ben Roethlisberger, Jake Delhomme.

what about the 5 to have a 20 QB rating and 3ints in their first playoff game?

on that play there was NO ONE open. no one. not even for a second

If anyone has a terrible reputation for working with others, it's Weis. It's well known in football circles that he has an ego the size of Texas, and in my brief encounters with him it sure seems accurate. He is extraordinarily smart, but he's a "my way or the highway" guy when it comes to schemes and gameplans, and is a bit awkward in social situations.

Also not sure where you're getting that bit about Weis' wife. They still have their huge pad in South Bend, but she's been living in KC. I don't think they ever really embraced KC though; it's been more of an in-between spot to sit before they figured out where they really wanted to go. Charlie's son was originally planning to go to Texas, but when the Florida thing came up they all decided to make it happen.

I don't know why Weis timed events the way he did, and I suspect that his decisions hurt the Chiefs' chances somewhat. But Romeo Crennel performed exactly as he should be expected to perform: to the best of his very shitty abilities.
