Chiefs Don't jump off that bandwagon just yet... - Page 5

Nightfyre · 11-18-2013, 03:40 AM

Fellow planeteers –

We Chiefs fans have a well-earned pessimistic outlook with respect to the performance of our football team. While the loss yesterday may have taken the wind from our sails, there is still reason for hope going forward.

Worry not, for even the mighty 2000 Ravens that this team is often compared to, lost four regular season games, was the fifth seed and even gave up 36 points in one game. That team went on to win a Super Bowl. This defense might be even better. They faced the vaunted Denver offense and gave up 27 points despite being left on the field quite consistently and often defending a short field. Further, I strongly believe that this team can beat Denver at home. Hell, this game was a few breaks from going KC’s way even in Denver.

Now the offense leaves quite a bit to be desired. Probably even moreso than the 2000 Ravens offense. I still believe, for that the talent is there for an average offensive output. Charles is probably still the second best back in the league. You have talent in Albert/Hudson/Asamoah/Fisher on the offensive line. And you have Bowe and Avery on the outside, and they are not inadequate. Alex Smith is Alex Smith. But look at that and tell me you can’t contrive some form of success from the running game with this group. I can’t be sure why we are not seeing better results, but I am sure given the available talent there, we can get more from the offense.

The point, my brothers (and sisters

), is that there is hope for the future. For the remainder of this year and in years looking forward. We should not lay down as fans at the first sign of adversity. We should not cave into our blood-tinted and pessimistic view of the world. We should pick ourselves up and have hope. For the most important thing I realized after the loss, is that the Chiefs still control their own destiny.

Left a ton of points on the field. Have every confidence they can win the next 2 battles.

Pasta Little Brioni · 11-18-2013, 11:58 PM

Unforced errors against a shit D.

The loss was not critical to me. What was critical to me is that we see that our offense is incapable of scoring more than 17 points a game, even when it is behind in the score and playing a mediocre defense. If the defense holds the opponent to less than 17, we win. That is fine for leisurely watching a game; but, one cannot go to the SB with an offense that limited, and with conservative playcalling.

This team will not get better until we get a decent QB. Reid is blind to the weakness at QB. He actually thinks AS is good. It was this blindness that lost Pioli his job and it will cause Reid/Dorsey to lose their jobs too one day unless AS is run over by a bus and they are forced to find someone new. Hopefully Bray will pan out. He is the hope to take the team to the next level at the moment, but will not get his chance absent a couple of injuries.

We lost to Denver in Denver and we're 9-1 now because so. How is the sky falling?

Do you see him as a true number one these days?

I'm starting to see some of things his few detractors have said over the years... lazy routes, iffy hands on routine passes and precious little speed are things people have talked about long before Axl showed up.

Still love the kid, he's come a long way with us and i'd like him to stay... but, only at the two.

Nightfyre · 11-19-2013, 04:00 PM

So you are going to move him to 2 on the depth chart and just leave the space above him blank or something? I don't really see what that accomplishes. Maybe it's just me.

Yep, lets just leave it blank/herp

I'm talking about next year...

Nightfyre · 11-19-2013, 04:22 PM

My question would be: where are you going to magically procure a WR that is better than Bowe? Are you going to go to the WR Oak? scottfree loves you WR oak!

Yep, lets just get him off the ****ing tree/herp.

Believe it or not, there are two other magical avenues besides the ol' oak tree... they're called the draft and free agency.

"scottfree loves you WR oak!"... huh, what? you're usually better than this kind of dipshittery.

Nightfyre · 11-19-2013, 04:32 PM

I don't see a wide receiver better than Bowe hitting free agency or dropping to the late-twenties draft spots. Call me crazy. Not unless we identify a gem that everyone else misses, anyway.

edit: Also, have you not seen those ticket-oak commercials? They make me laugh.

Just because you don't see a guy in free agency, doesn't mean it wont happen, crazy moves happen every single year.

As for the draft... swaps, wheeling dealing and moving up also happen all of the time, if nothing else, you gotta give Dorsey some credit in player acquisition, if he and Reid feel like they gotta move up... they're damn sure gonna do it.

I honestly haven't seen the commercial, but thanks for clearing that up, it had me going "huh", thus i remove the dipshittery tag

Nightfyre · 11-19-2013, 04:46 PM

Hey, it could happen. I honestly have no idea about any of the receivers in this year's draft. I have been enjoying the Chiefs season too much to watch CFB this year.
