Chiefs What was the biggest factor in the turnaround?

**BossChief** · 02:35 AM

Name the biggest factor, in your opinion, of what sparked the turnaround the last few weeks. I have to say Chambers, the guy is giving us another legitimate option that is letting Cassel have more options to work with.

Cutting LJ is a close second, to me, because the insertion of Charles to the offense has definitely sparked it in many ways.

No offense but what turn around? We've won two games....good...but by no means are we out of the woods yet...

Depends on how you define "out of the woods". We're 1 game better than last year. It might be out of the woods but we're still on the shoulder of some Georgian wilderness road.

I'd agree with the spirit of this post, but don't look at our last 5 games... you might notice we have a winning record (3-2).

We haven't turned around, but we've done more than win a mere 2 games.

we are 3-2 in our last 5 games after starting 0-5. We just beat the world champs. That is a turnaround.

I understand we might go right back into a big losing streak, but I doubt it. These kids have worked their tails off and are starting to "get it" imo.

Winning. That pretty much cures everything else.

OL improvements + Chambers + Charles

The OL took huge steps forward the last three weeks and you really saw it last week inparticular. Even giving up five sacks...

Had we played the Steelers in the first month it would have looked like the Philly game.

Makes the Chargers game very, very interesting. They have more to play for and we might have a letdown game after such an emotional win, but what do we start to think if we win?

Have you noticed how basically everyone on the OM is fearing our game next week?

first, I was saying that to gochiefs he frequents the site. second, it isnt trolling to go to opposing team sites to get an opposing team fans views of your team. Sometimes they have more realistic views that fans "from the inside out" instead of the outside in. Trolling is just posting fictional stuff to try to generate a reaction...hence the term "troll" because you are "trolling for responces"

A lot of people here would be surprised how much closer to reality fans are about us on other sites than some are here. Not always and you have to sort through the emotional posts, but you can get some great stuff from some opposing teams fans.

its all good man, i see what you're saying. i do have an account over there, but the absolute lack of any common sense commonly associated with donkey fans gives me a headache. are they really afraid of the chiefs?

The Oline played like crap in the 1st half of the Steeler game, but in the 2nd half they were really good. I don't know what happened? Or what type of adjustments Haley made or what message he sent to those men, but whatever it was, it worked.

Adjustments and play calling. I've figured Haley out. He plays conservative the 1st 3 qtrs to keep the game close then he gives Cassel the green light to throw deep which helps the blocking schemes.
