You can't put a team on the field that looks like it doesn't belong like yesterday, in today's league even bad teams should be able to compete.

he basically let us all know that it would be a fairly lengthy process in his press conference when he was hired.

IIRC he said that the process would take some time and ownership acknowledged that fact and they would get the time needed to get it right.

The next time someone says the thought they would win 8 games that transcript should be thrown out

it's not really 30???? where have you been? we have 30 new players on the roster. so yeah it's 30

Are you happy to know that for the most part they just replaced turds with turds so it's still a turd?

Their free agent activity suggests otherwise.

no matter what you think of the players the fact remains that they turned over 30 guys from the roster

don't get me wrong, it sucks there is hardly any talent, and they're really no better than last year, but at least the ship has a direction instead of turning endlessly in circles.

Turning it over to turn it over isn't a success, would you rather have 5 guys who can do their jobs or 30 who can't?

Im sorry. the Chiefs way isn't the right way. They're not gaining anything when they replace McIntosh with Ndukwe. Neither when they decide to resign Niswanger. Or sign Mike Goff when he clearly is done and coming off an injury. This is the Chiefs way of building the offensive line?

Im looking for improvement. This isn't improvement. i want progress to see this team get better and head in the right direction. how do you get better? By going out and getting better players then you have now.

im not saying they have to be an 11-5 team today?If you're gonna do it "right" rebuild the offensive line correctly so that way you put your QB in a position to succeed. Why spend all this money on your QB, and trade for him when he has zero protection. ZERO. Does that sound dumb?

i think that had to do with having guys who would be accountable for the play on the field. And having guys that have actually won some nfl games.

Vrabel showed yesterday that he will get on people. Did you see him when a penalty took away that sack? Do you notice the way he gets on guys in the huddle?

We used a draft pick to trade for a guy that was getting cut to replace McIntosh when he might be even worse...

How does that make any sense?

I used to think at least give the Chiefs credit they tried to get players. But now I don't think that way. When you replace scrub with scrub I don't credit that as trying.

Translation: We didn't sign a bunch of free agents to satisfy my hope for 8-8.

god you people are dumb.

5 guys were released from the practice squad and five guys were cut from IR.

That makes twenty. Of those twenty, five are on other NFL Rosters: Johnston, McBride, Pollard, Babin and Gonzalez.
