I disagree. They're not "trash", they backup players that should be excelling on special teams. Instead, they were forced into starting duty because the starters were injured.

If JMJ or Mauga was next to DJ, the defense would look much different.

Good post. Agree, although I give Dorsey a little more rope.

Reid... we knew what we were getting, unfortunately. Throw in Smith and you have a third guy who's given us lots of reason to doubt what we have.

one post you defend Dorsey and the next you talk about getting rid of all the crap players Dorsey pulled in


a little contradictory

Far from it.

What he's proven is he's willing to dump starters and replace them with JAG's.

Some will work out - most won't.

We are a better team than last year. Much better. Even with injuries.

And what "often injured player" has hurt us this year with his absence? Devito, DJ, Jeff Allen, Stephenson, and Berry are not often injured (or suspended).

So I don't understand what point you're trying to make. If we're replacing guys with lesser talent then why are we better?

Better than last year? Based on what? We lost to the flipping Raiders!!!

We're only better in your mind.

No WR with a TD 3/4ths of the way through the year is not better.
Dog$#it offensive line is not better.
Finishing with less wins is not better...

Yes, we should base an entire season off one game

yep he did nothing to help the offense, OL was filled with backups and depleted receiving corps was virtually kept the same. The only thing he did to bolster the offense was draft a ST/gadget player to replace McCluster.. yeah that isn't a formula for success. If anything this team has been overachieving so far.

Okay, we also lost to the Titans.

We're very lucky that with as many sacks as Smith has taken he isn't injured yet...

Our defense went from being the 24th ranked scoring defense to #3
Our offense slipped but only from #6 to #15 (and that's not counting how many points we got last year from turnovers leading to a short field, which we all know happened a lot).


Wow, that's what you care about? We're significantly better at TE. At D-line. In our secondary. And that's WITHOUT Devito, Berry, and Harris. But that o-line everyone on here kept preaching is so important trumps all that, I suppose.


:doh!:
2013 - Chiefs had the 5th lowest strength of schedule
2014 - Chiefs have the 7th hardest
We spent all offseason long bitching about how our team was a paper champion because we were barely beating terrible teams. How our record was inflated because we kept playing terrible backup QBs. How we'd look like dogshit against a real schedule. Now we've played a legitimately hard schedule, won 7 games, and all of a sudden Strength of schedule doesn't matter anymore. That's convenient.

The Chiefs this year [2014] beat (.500+ teams this year):
San Diego
Seattle
New England
Miami
Buffalo

The Chiefs last year [2014] beat (.500+ teams)
Philly

I thought he was done after getting speared in the spine with the crown of Von Miller's helmet. that looked absolutely devastating live. With a less mobile QB they could have easily gotten around 10 sacks. The OL is probably the biggest weakness on the roster right now in terms of the impact on the outcome of the season

Our defense is better.

You can't win if you can't throw.
You can't throw if you don't have time or you're on your ass.



Yes and we're a very inconsistent team. We've lost to teams like the 0-10 Raiders and Titans and beat teams like the Seahawks and Pats.

This same offense that was able to score points at the end of last year can't do $3it this year. Reid still insists on passing with a line that's much better at run blocking than pass blocking.

And the Chargers and Donks have played pretty much the same schedule and both of those teams have a better record than us at this point.

Is that better?...
