Chiefs Am I the only one here that still wants the Chiefs to win some games this season? - Page 9

Dr. Johnny Fever · 09-13-2011, 09:23 PM

I know I'm just The Royals fan so what do I know... that's fine. I also know the loss of Moeaki and Berry is really damaging so hopes are down. We stunk in week 1 so if we can't beat or even be competitive with the Bills at home what hope do we have...?

I know a lot of people want Andrew Luck... I'd like to see a QB like that in KC too. But I'm not ready to tank the season after one week in hopes that we get the top pick.... THEN actually take him.

This team won the division last year. We added some talent... maybe not enough depth. But the team is young and SHOULD get better. If we can't compete because of the loss of one guy on each side of the ball then I'd guess we weren't nearly as good as we thought last year. Yes... easy schedule... so what. You can only win the games you play. Yes this year the schedule is hard... so what. Rising teams should get better.

Cassel isn't great... Haley went full reerun in pre-season... I get it.

I'm just wondering if most of you guys/gals have really given up already or if the talk here since Sunday is more of a coping mechanism.

Feel free to say stfu baseball fan... just honestly on my mind.

It's going to be fun reading all of the debates about whether KC should take Barkley, Jones, Foles, Cousins, Weedon or Lindley.

Jones and Lindley are probably my front runners right now, I don't have a strong opinion either way. There seems to be a huge chasm between all of them and Luck.

Pretty much sums it up.

Want to win? Damn straight.

Expect to win? Not so much.

Chiefnj2 · 09-14-2011, 10:25 AM

Any reports from practice this week? Is Haley killing them? Overall attitude of the team?

What's odd is that I honestly have no idea if they will come out fired up or be flat in Detroit.

ToxSocks · 09-14-2011, 10:27 AM

I put my homer glasses on this preseason in hopes that the team made enough improvements to carry Cassel. I hoped that Cassel made enough improvements to carry his own weight.

Sunday hit me like a bucket of cold water. At least with Berry in the line up we had a chance. That chance blew out with Eric's ACL.

And sadly, even if we do draft in the top 5, I'm 95% certain we won't be taking a QB.

And in case we do, I don't think Haley is the guy to develop him. Screaming and ranting at a rookie QB probably isn't the best way to settle his nerves. I don't think Haley has the patience to develop a rookie QB.

Then Haley isn't the man I want coaching this team.

He's not going to have a choice. This squad is sinking with a noodle-armed, weak minded QB. He can't handle pressure, at all.

This team needs a franchise signal caller and if we go 1-15, it's worth it to me to get him.

I think they absolutely would take Luck if they had the #1 pick. Absolutely. T

If they pass on Luck for Matt Kalil or somebody else, Pioli should have his nuts tied to a cinderblock and thrown into the Missouri River.

lcarus · 09-14-2011, 10:45 AM

Yeah of course I want them to win each time I sit down on Sunday to watch their game. But realistically I just want them to build a team that can compete for the Super Bowl for several years. We're still not there, and we won't be until our quarterback situation changes. Luck isn't the only way that can happen.

Yeah, so do I. I want a QB. I loathe Cassel.

Still my initial comment was in regards to a comment about having the #1 pick being the best situation outside of winning the SB.

There are a lot of good QB's in the NFL that weren't picked #1 overall and no college prospect is a sure thing. That's all I was getting at.

Drafting smart is more important than picking in the top 5 a whole bunch.

I'm wondering now if Cassel will have a single game that he surpsses 150 yards passing.

I'm wondering how many games he will finish with fewer than 100 yards.

I think that first sub-100 yard game comes this weekend against the Lions.

I don't think Cassel finishes the season as the starter anyway. And I'm not talking because of injury.

It won't take trying to hit the tank this season. Head Coach clueless, best Defensive players gone for the season and prideful GM in not recognizing his mistake at QB (Cassel). This thing was over before in began. But if we hit rock bottom, the QB (Locker) is there to join a good foundation of Offensive weapons.

Man you scare me because you know he would do it.

Rams are gonna be drafting top 5 if they lose 5 starters a game.

Well, either your boys or the G-Men are headed for 0-2.

I know.

If it's the Rams:

If it's the Giants:

But I have never ever seen a team lose 5 starters in the span of 1 game due to injury.

It looks like it's going to be a brutal season for injuries. The number 1 pick could go to a team that's a complete surprise at this point.
