The number of blowouts during the Pioli era is truly remarkable.
 

I’m defining a blowout as a game where we lose by more than 14 points. Anything more than 14 just isn’t being competitive at all.

Just over 3 Years during the Pioli era, 18 blowouts. Look at the # per year.

Add the games where we were dominated, but the scores were close for some BS reason.

2009 @ Ravens
2009 vs Giants

One common denominator:

http://www.footballnewsnow.com/wp-co..._cassel_sm.jpg

And if you factor in our playing catch-up during garbage time, the number is much higher!

This team has been truly awful 5 out of the past 6 seasons. From 2007 on....

They should consider themselves lucky they still have a fanbase.

14-29 at home since 2007

:facepalm:

But hey, we got dat FRANCHISE NOSE TACKLE at least

fffffffffffffffffff

Yes, I wonder if we could see games where the score was 14 points or more up until 4th quarter garbage time. It seems that our #1 ranked offense tends to pad it's stats and make it look like the point deficit isn't as bad as it was when the opposing team starts picking fans out of the seats to play defense for them while the real team hits the showers.

41-6 in 1st quarters this year.

Gowd that's a whole season of getting blown out. When I go to work I am held responsible

for my performance , this jackass has 63 million tied to his ankle . Sink fatboy , what the

hell am I saying this turd is a floater .

Yep, and that is where those inflated stats are coming from for Matt Cassel that the front office keeps leaning on.

I wonder how that stands in context to the rest of the league. Are we blown out more than most lower-tier teams?

If you failed at your job that badly, would you still be working there?



Oh, wait, Pioli's job isn't about winning, it's about $$$$$$.

Yes. Just look at this year for a reference.

May he continue sucking valiantly.

Notice a difference in 2011 and 2012?

We took our beatings like a man in 2011.

I saw on one of blowfish's pics in his 10 things thread that they're still scrolling that across the scoreboard at Arrowhead. It made me chortle.

Definitely the fans fault that they have sucked in what was one of the greatest home-field advantages in Professional Sports. Way to completely **** that one up, KC Chiefs!:bravo:

Browns
2012: 0
2011: 2
2010: 2
2009: 6

Rams
2012: 1
2011: 8
2010: 3
2009: 8
(that's only one more game per year on average, and they won 3 games combined in 2011 and 2009)


The 2008, 0-16 Detroit Lions: 7

Its not badminton.

Brodie Croyle started @ Ravens. That one isn't on Cassel.

You were entirely TOO lenient by going with a 2 TD mark.

Look at how many games they've lost by at least THREE TDs (21 points).

It's still ELEVEN GAMES and that's not counting the losses by 20.

That's absolutely unbelievable.

~ half of those at Arrowhead.

not many nail biters.

There's fail everywhere you look when it comes to this franchise.

He also started @Chuggers 2010.

The rest are Cassel.

Common denominator.

Look at the Patriots losses in 2008 with Cassel

38-13 to Miami
30-10 to San Diego
33-10 to Pittsburgh

The other two losses were field goals win by Jets and Colts.

Wow...i knew it was bad, but seeing those numbers makes it even worse.

And they've lost by more than 14 points just 3 times since (and one was to the Ravens in the wildcard round in 2009).

Wow. Now that's a find.

:hmmm:

Without even looking, IM guessing his stats in those games are remarkably similar to most of his Chiefs stats.....

I would be curious to see a list of games that were lost where the Chiefs were trailing by 14 or more at halftime or midway through the 3rd quarter.

Miami - 19/31 131 yards 1 td 1 int
San Diego - 22/38 203 yards 0 td 1 int
Pittsburgh - 19/39 169 yards 0 td 2 int

13-38 Miami Loss:
19-31 for 131 YDS. 1 TD 1 INT 68.1 QB Rating

10-30 SD Loss:
22-38 for 203 YDS. 0 TD 1 INT 61.6 QB Rating

10-33 PITT Loss:
19-39 for 169 YDS. 0 TD 2 INT's 39.4 QB Rating

lol and someone told me the other day that haley didnt have the highest % of blowout losses for a chiefs head coach...

Good stats here. So sickening that we haven't even been competitive this year. Pathetic.

Just awful. Pisses me off

Wow, im a genius. thanks. : )

I would say the common denominator is Pioli not Cassel.

78% Cassel

11% Palko

Go back further than that then with blowouts, I wonder if we go back six years, what cassels percentage still is. Did thig and huard get blown out alot?

Thig was actually quite the baller, we lost a ton of games, but by some miracle they all came down to the wire (with a couple of exceptions, of course.)

2004 No blowout losses

2005
09/26 (Denver) Green

2006
10/15 (Steelers) Huard

2007
09/03 (Houston) Huard
11/11 (Denver) Croyle
12/02 (San Diego) Huard
12/09 (Denver) Croyle

2008

09/21 (Atlanta) Thigpen
10/05 (Carolina) Huard
10/19 (Tennessee) Huard
11/23 (Buffalo) Thigpen

78 percent Cassel.

Most common denominator for sure.

Croyle and Palko are shittier versions of Cassel and therefore get us butt****ed to a greater degree.

I know that Cassel's complete ineptitude plays a huge role in these games turning into blowouts, but the defense hasn't done much to help.

Week 1: Falcons TD on opening drive
Week 2: Bills TD on 2nd drive
Week 3: Saints TD on opening drive
Week 4: Chargers TD on opening drive

This defense was supposed to be a strength. So far this season they have stunk up the joint, and the stinking has started well before the offense's failure can be used as an excuse.

Cassel is a huge problem, but this team has more problems than just QB.

I would say the defensive problems are rooted in Crennel's lack of organization, preparedness, and competence as a head coach/gameplanner.

Cassel, however, would be getting happy feet against KU's defense with the way he's been playing.

The defense's biggest problem is that their coach is a softie and runs an outdated, passive scheme.

The REASON he's the coach, however, is because he was willing to accept Pioli's favorite child at QB.

So in the end, Cassel is STILL the problem.

Ultimately the result would likely be the same. Last year we saw the defense play well in the first half of games only to eventually succumb to blowouts because our O simply could not sustain drives. Over the span of Cassel's career, he is indeed very responsible for this trend.

I just want people to recognize that this year, the team's problems extend beyond QB. We might be a better team with a different QB, but the defense so far this year has been very bad. We all believe the individual talent is there. Romeo Crennel is tripping over his own dick at the one thing he's supposedly good at.

With the exception of one game the opposition scored at least 30 points. Something the Chiefs haven't done since 12/26/2010.

When this team wins it seems to barely win.

When this team loses it seems to get prison raped...

Thanks PeeWee

An entire ****ing season of games in which we gave up 30+ points and scored double digits in less than 6. Holy ****ing wow! 1/3 of the time we get our ****ing shit pushed in. CLEAN THE ****ING HOUSE, CLARK! YOU'RE LIVING LIKE A BUM!

And the hits just keep on coming.

Tied our record of 5 blowouts from last year. :clap:

Don't settle fore tying that record boys. Go get it.

19 blowouts in 57 games.

MORE LOSSES BY 14+ POINTS THAN ANY 4-YEAR STRETCH IN TEAM HISTORY.

I have to wonder what other team besides KC has been blown out this many times over a 4 year span. We have to be in the top 5 I'd assume.

I'd have to mine the Bucs or Saints reference pages, I'm sure.

That's up to 64-6 now

Rather than that, go to the pro football reference page and sort the team stats by "MoV" Margin of victory... Prior to this game we're ranked -12.7.

The 76 Bucs were at -20

We're on pace to be the worst Chiefs team of all time.

During Pioli's tenure he has acquired Palko, Cassel, Quinn, and Stanzi. What a big pile of steaming dog shit that is.

Rams had 27 14+ point losses in a 57 game stretch from 2007-2010.

And people think crennel is a good DC? Jfc people.

Where is the post game press conference with Romeo saying he doesn't understand how we could suck this bad?

i cant find a press conference. KCchiefs.com cut it down to under a minute. ****ers.

OP is missing the 2009 season opener, BTW.

We lost by 14, and were dominated in total yards.

Make no mistake, that was a blowout of sorts. Only thing that kept it close was a blocked punt and an INT return. Team was dominated.

The team has (arguably) been soft going back as far as 1999 (when I moved here, I didn't watch them closely before that). It's amazing how many old school coaches, and how many defensive coaches, have come through here, but none of them have been able to turn this franchise into a knock-you-on-your-ass kind of team. They just get physically dominated. It happened under Goonther, it happened under Vermeil when they ran a finesse offense but struggled in late game short-yardage (and just got obliterated on defense...), it happened under Herm and Haley, and now they're even softer now under Crennell. It just boggles the mind. Sometimes, going back at least that far, it just seems like there's no pride, no heart, no desire, just guys out there getting paid to play a game. Which makes it really difficult as a fan. And it's worse now than it's ever been, even after overhauling so much of the roster since 2008.

The two things I learned from Browns fans were:

A) Inmates ran the asylum.

B) Soft ass football team.

Haley actually put some toughness in this team, IMO. Firing him was the right move, but made us worse because Crennel is awful.

:facepalm:

Crennel is so bad I miss Haley. I never even wanted Haley here.

I remember posting the comments from a former Patriot who attended training camp with the Browns.

And I remember getting ATTACKED with stuff like "he was only there for a couple days, how would he know?"

Obviously he DID know because this team is EVERY BIT as soft as those ****ing Browns teams.

Crennel makes me long for Herm and Frank Ganz

Absolutely pathetic.

LMAO

Hermy had the team better prepared than this shit.

I disagree about firing Haley as the right move. I agreed at the time, but now that we know the rest of the story, I would have kept him. Isn't 20/20 hindsight a wonderful thing?

FYP

A 14 pt deficit is not a blow out.

I'd say 17 is close. Certainly 20.

Just about all of these qualify.

Well done, Scott.

I don't disagree, but we've squat-walked our way through ball games that were absolute blowouts in the sense that we were dominated throughout. But when we score in GT against 3rd stringers, it makes the score look better.

You can be totally dominated and lose by 10 ... we're actually pretty good at that.

FAX

Crennel has been a God awful DC here in KC...

The league has passed him by...

Watching Crennel coach a defense makes me miss GROB...

i see what you did thereLMAO

I agree. But I actually said by more than 14. So really 15 or more.

The way I see it, if you score two standard TDs and still lose? That's a blowout.

Now last time I updated this list, I think I was looking for just 14. Will recheck now and update.
