Chiefs Poor Preseason Puts Heat on Pioli, Cassel

I think using the word "poor" is using the term carelessly. The Chiefs didn't have a poor preseason. Their #1's played very well against Tampa, Philly, and Green Bay. They should have won against Tampa and Philly, but lost because their 2nd and 3rd team sucks--that should be expected from a team that's largely rebuilding. From a defensive standpoint, you take away a few ridiculously careless offensive turnovers, and their first team defense practically shut out Philly, Tampa, and Green Bay.

The running game has been phenomenal. And I don't think you give nearly enough credit to how much better our o-line looks blocking in space. Yesterday, they looked incredible blocking for Jones/Charles against Green Bay.

The problem is that your article focuses on wins/losses and total stats. That stuff means jackshit in the preseason. What I saw was our defense tackling better, a LOT less defensive players out of position, our D-line while not moving blockers doing a better job at knowing their assignments, a defense that overall plays with much more discipline. On offense, I saw much better yards-after-catch from our receivers, great play by our RBs, and superb run blocking by our offensive line. And our return game on special teams is miles ahead of last year.

We suck at QB, our 2009 draft sucked, and we have shitty depth. But to say that the entire team has laid a goose egg is just not true to reality.

Proof positive that you don't have a ****ing clue.

Are you Josh Looney or some other shill for the Chiefs?
