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

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

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.

Yep, just goes to show how important those OTA's are.

Or how an actual offensive line can help a QB. Or, I dunno, have some depth at CB....

If the Rams don't win 8 games this year, I'm going to start getting my ax ready for Spags and Devaney.

I think the reduced practice times that the players demanded is going to come back and bite them in the ass over the long run.

And, not trying to make the Berry injury seem minor(it isn't, he's going to be a great safety), but the Rams just lost their #1/#2 CB for the season, lost the only guy who can catch the ball for 8-10 weeks.

It's really too bad that SJ39 is going to end up wasting his career in football purgatory.

I know.

I really hope they make the playoffs this season or next, as I don't think SJ has that much time left in St. Louis.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Well, they definately play in the right division if making the postseason is what you desire.

No offense, but I really hated that SJ went to the Rams. At least Quizz is going to get a chance in Atlanta (Oregon State alum here, if you couldn't tell).

The Rams could have been decent for a while if they didn't let their decent FAs walk and draft terrible players.

If Marshall was healthy in 2006, the Rams would have had a great 1-2 RB combo and an even better offense.

As high as I was on Haley and Pioli, I'm about at the same point. What an absolute F'n joke losing a home opener 41-7 to any team, much less the Bills. The most unprepared Chiefs team I've ever seen and that includes Herm's abortion of a debut as Chiefs coach.

The difference is I'm willing to give them one more season. Spags and Devaney have increased the talent level, no denying that. But there were 4 games last year that stick out to me that Spags had horrible in game management.

I like Devaney, but he needs to address the WR situation for awhile.

Haley had the same card last year and came up with 10-6 and a division championship. This year comes down to lack of preparation. We have more talent on both sides of the ball that any time in the last 5 years. If we continue to fail Haley's only choice is to be to bench Cassel or lose his job. He might lose his job anyway and should for the way this team was prepared. He's not going to be able to just turn it on. We came into this season behind every other team in the league and preparation. You can't get that back. The theory that 'the plan' would result in less injuries is out the window. FAIL.

Do you honestly think upper management or the owners would allow someone like Cassel, who has a hefty contract, to get benched? I could see Haley having the balls to do it but not being allowed to do it.

[Extra Point]

NO Luck in this lottery. We can't suck that bad. Gailey schooled Haley. The rest of the season will determine if Haley can't cut it.

We're STUCK with Cassel, for the next two years, at least.

Cassel has already gotten all the big money for his contract, so there really isn't any finacial reason at this point to continue to trot his sorry ass out there.
