Mild reason for optimism

[DaFace]

The teams we have lost to are currently 12-0. Of course, it's hard to believe we can be a real contender if we can't beat those teams, but hopefully we'll at least be more respectable against weaker competition from here on out.

The end.

[SAUTO]

I agree.

[jd1020]

Comfortably mediocre.

My only problem is that a good team that is a quality contender steals a win in at least one of those games. Thay's all I was hoping for after the Houston win.

While true, all I want is one playoff win. Until we hit that, I can't be that upset that we're probably not a Super Bowl contender.

Well, yeah. We're obviously not gonna compete for a title this year. That level of optimism is officially buried.

No.....just no. Don't.

The Bears that are basically tanking the season will give the true fans new hope.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I agrees.

I look back at these games and ask, which one of these were we suppose to win.

Houston.
Cincy (maybe).

We never Beat Manning. And nobody is beating Aaron Rodger on MNF.

We are pretty much on course as being an average football team, as usual. It's sad, but true.

We will win next week...and optimism will begin to grow with "the tough part of our schedule behind us."

9-7.

[jd1020]

Well, yeah. We're obviously not gonna compete for a title this year. That level of optimism is officially buried.

But the Patriots were 2-2 at this point last season and just got shit on by the Chiefs on MNF. Never give up hope!

[The Bad Guy]

There's a ton of flaws on this team. Ability for the defensive front to generate pressure, Tamba being pretty much done, safeties can't cover, no slot corner, Stephenson looks awful.

[milkman]

Yay!

We might not suck as hard as some other teams that suck!

Optimism!

[MMXcalibur]

The playoffs are full of mediocre to subpar teams?

[tk13]

I think it's possible for a good team to have lost all three of those games. That doesn't concern me... what is bad is the Chiefs were dominated in two of those games. Didn't look like they belonged on the field on offense or defense.

Were either cell phones or the internet popular when we won our last playoff game? What other technological achievements will humans conquer before the Hunt family can field a team capable of winning a even a wildcard game? What mode of transportation will we be using to get to the stadium the next time the Chiefs win a playoff game? Flying cars, teleportation, worm holes?

DaFace, I appreciate your attempt to find a shred of optimism in this cluster-**** of a season. However, "mild optimism"? I fear you've re-defined the term "mild". Guess you could say that Hitler was mildly humanitarian too (he didn't kill EVERYBODY). That said, rep for the fine efforts to polish the turd.

[GloryDayz]

[Easy 6]

I'm not seeing too many reasons for optimism.

In his third year in the system, when its supposed to click, Smith is playing the worst ball he ever has for us.

Reids playcalling has been excruciating and the team hasn't looked prepared.

Sutton still isn't adjusting.

This entire team has fallen apart like a house of cards, they aren't just losing... they're being embarrassed.

Heh...if I weren't an optimist, I wouldn't watch the games.

(I have no idea how everyone who just sees doom and gloom all the time can cope. I don't really see the point in even watching if you're convinced the team is gonna lose every game.)

Hope Dorsey hit on every 2015 pick does the same next year because there is a dearth of young talent on the team..

Yeah, I know what you mean. However, I think most of the folks here at CP are SO passionate about this team that regardless of what they say on the board, deep down (and I'm talking waaaaaaaaaaay deep down) they want the Chiefs to win every stinking game.

The flaming after a poor performance is just a release of this pent up emotion. Plus, it's much better than kicking the dog!

Heck, back in my college days (a looooooong time ago), during one game (on tv) my roommate put a fist through his closet door and during another game, tossed a chair thru the tv. And he's a pretty "normal" guy......if plasma physicists can be considered "normal". Sometimes, you just gotta say **** it.

Nonetheless, thanks for the optimism....it's good to see that not everyone has given up the ghost.

I'd look for a competent young coach that could work with Dorsey on developing that young talent. I'm really beyond caring about the Chiefs landing some "name" from the old boys club. A younger guy with a brilliant football mind would be fine by me.

I know I'm in a minority on this, but I thought Todd Haley was that guy. Pioli just cut the legs out from under him and well, that was that. Too bad as I think he had a way to get the most out of the guys......he especially challenged the really talented guys to excel. Just a shame that Pioli was so fragile.

The end.

I've been watching all the games at bars. And it's amazing how really, really bad a lot of these teams are. I would agree -- we've played 3 teams that are playing terrific football (Denver isn't the same level as GB and Cincy, but compared to the pile of shit in the NFL, they're pretty good). Pile on the shitty scheduling between the Chiefs playing two short weeks in 4 weeks, the unbelievably shitty road schedule to begin the season, and the fuck-the-NFL London game. As bad as we want to say the Chiefs have played, they would be a shoo-in for the playoffs in half of the divisions.

But then... I don't know if that's what I want. Maybe we're lucky that we're exposing how far off the Chiefs are from the best teams in the league. I don't know. I do agree with you -- the Chiefs got royally fucked with scheduling but once they hit the reasonable part, they should once again bubble around .500.

You are in the minority. But I completely agree with you. I don't get the CP hate for Haley. I don't know if he was the answer. I just know he was never given a shot to prove it.

I agree 100%.

Maybe he was an asshole, but I LOVED the attitude and accountability-factor.

I think that guy is out there, and I would like to think that Dorsey, in his methodical ways, could convince Clark to turn as many rocks over as necessary to find him instead of just rolling over for some name jackass that the fans can stroke it to( until he starts losing of course ).

There.

True, but if we want to win a playoff game then we need to be able to beat those type teams. Of course if we just want to be mediocre then losing to them is perfectly understandable.

Pioli ran the Falcons last two drafts and made their personnel decisions.

As for the Chiefs, unfortunately, I don't share in any optimism, mild or not.

The offensive line, QB and WR's, outside of Maclin, are well below average (although Conley is promising). The play calling on both sides of the ball leaves much to be desired.

It's amazing in today's NFL but after three years, the Chiefs still look to be a team in transition.

My Give-A-Shit meter is at an all time low.

[Hootie]

Meh.

The Falcons appear to be a pretty good team this year. Good for them. Still not going to give Pioli too much credit. Good to see a team that is always "so good on paper" not underachieving thus far.

No. The CHIEFS are the prototype team for one and done. They have perfected it. There has never been any sports franchise in history as good at it as we are. This is the only thing they are good at. They break every huddle in practice and in games with "ONE AND DONE!"

[tk13]

I'm waiting for the first "I wish Pioli was still here" thread. You know it's coming. We're getting there. Even though he ran the franchise into the ground, got everyone sued and was a complete train wreck. Different situation in Atlanta, it might actually be good for Pioli because he's not quite the supreme being like he was here, Arthur Blank is probably a bit more of an alpha dog than Clark is. Plus he didn't have to find a QB.

All the teams that have only had one home games are 1-3 too. This was definitely the most brutal stretch of the schedule....not having S.Smith didn't help. KC is only one game out of the WC hunt.

Now that Tamba Hali has been burned for a 30 yard pass, is there a chance we will stop putting him man-to-man in coverage? Maybe if Dee Ford wasn't a complete waste of a pick, we wouldn't HAVE to put Tamba in those positions?

[The Bad Guy]

You are in the minority. But I completely agree with you. I don't get the CP hate for Haley. I don't know if he was the answer. I just know he was never given a shot to prove it.

You're the same fool who didn't want Arians and said how awful you thought he'd be as a HC.

Yep... Zilla's the same long-winded fool who is on the wrong side of everything when common sense is involved. His last gem was saying that the Chiefs would come out with more focus in Cincinnati. ROFL

[TEX]

Yep. Look at the 3 losses in a vacuum and it's not necessarily reason for concern.

Look at the 3 losses, with the offense and defense playing mostly terrible, and I have trouble feeling optimistic about this team.

What's currently the bright spot on this team? Nothing on defense. The running game? Not if we need a tough yard. Not the passing game. There's really no part of this team that looks like it can carry the shortcomings.

I'm not really worried about the kicker anymore. :shrug:

[Jerm]

You're the same fool who didn't want Arians and said how awful you thought he'd be as a HC.

If Arizona had actually hired Reid, he'd probably be the coach here right now...right?

Typical luck. :facepalm:

[Red Dawg]

This season will not go right no matter what. As long as Smith is playing we don't get TD's.

[KC_Lee]

Guys calm down. Our next QB is on his way.

Things have gotten bad enough for the San Francisco 49ers that even a heroic defensive effort against the Green Bay Packers was not nearly enough for a victory. The Packers brought their unbeaten record and a few thousand Green Bay faithful to San Francisco and left on top, 17-3.

The crowd of Levi’s Stadium appeared to thin out dramatically in the second half as memories of a surprising victory in Week 1 against Minnesota continued to fade.

Losers of three consecutive games, the 49ers can place much of the blame the last two weeks on quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Last week Kaepernick threw four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns, and this week he failed to get anything going, passing for just 160 yards and an interception. It was the third time in four games that he failed to break 200 yards passing, and he was sacked six times.

Piling on to Kaepernick’s misfortune, television cameras picked up Packers linebacker Clay Matthews taunting his rival, saying “You ain’t Russell Wilson, bro” in reference to the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl-winning quarterback.
A downbeat Kaepernick took responsibility for the loss after the game, saying the team will improve.

“The only way I know how to fix things is to go back to work,” Kaepernick told reporters after the disappointing performance. “We have to find our rhythm.”

There had been hope among 49ers fans that a game against the Packers could revitalize the young passer. In three previous games, all wins, Kaepernick had dominated Green Bay, rushing for more than 100 yards twice and throwing for more than 400 yards once. This time Dom Capers, Green Bay’s defensive coordinator, finally figured out a way to stop him.

The loss will only add to the speculation of whether the team might begin looking for a different answer at quarterback. With a contract that would allow the team to part ways with him after the season with minimal repercussions, and a statistical profile in severe decline, it is reasonable for people to wonder if Tomsula would consider benching the player who took the team all the way to the Super Bowl in his first season as a starter.

The tight-lipped Tomsula has not given any indication that change is imminent, telling reporters this week “Colin is our quarterback.”

At his post-game news conference, Tomsula defended Kaepernick, saying he “won’t even go into the discussion. That’s not even on my mind.”

Kaepernick’s anemic offense wasted a great effort by the team’s reworked defense. In the offseason, the 49ers lost Justin Smith, Patrick Willis and Chris Borland to retirement, and parted ways with Ray McDonald and Aldon Smith because of off-field issues.


Burned for more than 40 points in each of the previous two games, the defense held its own against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

The Packers had scored 96 points in three games coming into the contest and Rodgers had 10 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. The 49ers held him to 224 passing yards and 1 touchdown, with Aaron Lynch, a second-year linebacker sacking him twice.

Tomsula insisted after the game that his team was not giving up.

“You don’t go around these things,” Tomsula told reporters. “You go through them. So lock your jaw and keep going.”

The thing that concerns me the most is that the BEST part of the team was supposed to be our "monster" defense and yet we just let up 30 points + in the last three games and 125 for the season or an average of 31.25 points. That's horrific!

The ONLY good part of our team at this point are the punter and kicker! :facepalm:

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH! :cuss:

[KC_Lee]

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH! :cuss:

I'd love to. I would love to see this team step up and draft and develop it's own starting QB.

Someone need to do some research and find out how much the team would make on jersey sales alone if we drafted a stud QB. How much more money would Clark make if we went down that path?

Quick, someone crunch the numbers and send them to Clark ASAP!!!

Dude....if they trade for Kap....I'm done as a fan. Period.

Would you be surprised if they did though?

Per CBS preseason rankings, GB was 1st, Denver was 3rd, Cincy was 8th.

Cliffs: The Chiefs were always supposed to lose those games, every, single, one.

Where was KC?

There's a BIG difference between losing games and getting fucking humiliated.

[Hootie]

I will say ...

I have finally learned my lesson.

Having optimism about this franchise before seeing the product on the field is a major no-no.

[Strongside]

I'm going to remain cautious after we win our next 5. We will blow it down the stretch.

We'll beat the Bears and lose to the Vikings and Steelers. The Lions game is questionable.

Better late than never. I never did understand the idea that we were going to suddenly go to the Super Bowl because we signed Maclin.

it's all propaganda all the time in the offseason.

THIS season is the first for me. Coming off 4-0 preseason, I waited to see them play for real before deciding whether or not to purchase NFL Sunday Ticket. So GLAD I waited. Got my answer after the GB debacle. A RESOUNDING "NOOOOO!" I FINALLY was NOT fooled. :)

[InChiefsHeaven]

Well, they got me for sure. This was the first time in a long time that I was legitimately optimistic. I even told people about it...out loud.

I'm paying for that. Oh...I'm paying for that.
