Ford's true value will noticeable next year when, when Hali's gone. He's done a great job in with third rounders (Gaines and Davis) a good job with 4th rounders (DAT & Nico Johnson, who now starts for the playoff Bengals) and so on.

What truly sucks is that an undrafted free agent player like Wilson stands on the sidelines for 13 weeks but once he's given a chance, proves that he should have been starting all season long.

Again, Andy Reid is a bozo.

I totally agree.... Just poor coaching and poor talent awareness..

If I was to pick between the two, I go with Reid every time. That doesn't mean I endorse either.

How about, they actually knew this was going to be a lean year and still exceeded most people's predictions? You can't overhaul every facet in one off season. I'm disappointed that there were/are glaring needs, but some of you all fly off the ****ing handle over a ****ing game and lose all sense of rationalization.

How about "the plan" has failed, yet again?

Yep, that's one I'm going with.

I can appreciate you supporting the team, but not getting a WR in last year's draft was pure stupid. There's no real way to defend it IMO.

Reid's system is hard to learn and Wilson is a UDFA rookie. It's no surprise he didn't see the field.

Wow. So we have a hard to learn system that produces hardly any points and no TD's to wide receivers. Sounds like a really great system. **** you Reid.

Before the season: Man! There's no way this team will be close to competitive this season. Look at our talent level! Look at the schedule! This team will be lucky to sniff 6-10 or 7-9

After the first game: Wow we lost even more talent! We'll be lucky to win 2 to 4 games now.

Now: Andy Reid is a Bozo! Can't believe we have only won 8 games! He sucks.


It's funny how people progress thru their analysis of a season.

I love the people who are voting for Offensive Line we could have all the players the cowboy's do and our record would not look much different.

The hate for Reid is more on the Playcalling time management and Alex smith regressing.

This.

Not drafting a WR in perhaps the deepest WR draft class in NFL history is inexcusable.

John Dorsey and/or Andy Reid deserve massive amounts of blame for that.

Let the Reidcuses flow.

Poorly prepared and coached team most of the season. Season on the line in Oakland. Goes full Reid. 10 ****ing days for Denver at home. Turns arrowhead into broke back mountain.

Implements a horizontal passing game in a vertical league = brilliant.

Shall we continue?

The Chiefs don't have the personnel to throw the ball consistently downfield with success.

That falls on John Dorsey.

This. And to think there is some commandment from the top that there is no QB to be drafted in round one is ridiculous. If that was the case, Peterson and pioli would have blasted it to anyone that would listen the second they were fired. Also, There is no way Reid would have taken this job without interviewing anywhere else if he was told no first round QB

DeBerg, Krieg, Montana, Bono, Grbac, Green, Cassel and Smith.

Three different GMs all making the same decision at the most important position in football.

It's Lamar and Clark calling for retreads. To say otherwise is idiocy.
