As I have been saying all offseason, we will miss john tait this year!

:hmmm: So you're saying that we need to sacrifice another goat?

Forest & trees...you do the math...
 

Gaz - I agree. The entire OL was suspect yesterday. And JW can run block.

However, losing JT hurt. When you are 6 mil under the cap, why not keep a very good run and pass blocker instead of a one dimensional lineman?

Because it would have cost 34 million, not 6.

The Bears gave Tait a six-year, $33 million contract that included a $3 million signing bonus.

The final years of the contract are apt to be voided out.

So no - Pytlon - It did not cost 34 mil THIS year to keep JT.

Well I hope Tait's happy. Bastard!

Carl Peterson is the weak link. It all starts at the top.

They weren't up to par, but by far the weakest link is Dexter McCleon. I said when Gunther first came here that he would not be able to play in the new scheme. I'm surprised he has not been replace because he has been picked on and burned worse than Bartee ever did.

I didn't say it was all going to be this year, but thought someone would have taken it that way after I posted it.

Point is, that is TOO MUCH for that position, no matter how you do the numbers.

Zactly. But of course, being a good Chiefs fan, I must point the finger at the Zebras, at least on a couple of notable calls. Priest did break away for a nice long run which was called back on a holding call against Welbourn. When they showed the replay, I just about had a freakin' heart attack. The hold was minimal at best, basically the kind of hold that goes on all the freakin' time that never gets called.

The Gods are angry indeed. They gave us the greatest offense in football for 2 seasons, and now it's just too damn late.

God, it HURTS being a Chiefs fan...

He did. Unfortunately, as has been the case too many times this season:

1-10-JAX 40 (14:37) 31-P.Holmes up the middle to JAX 15 for 25 yards (27-R.Mathis). PENALTY on KC-76-J.Welbourn, Offensive Holding, 10 yards, enforced at JAX 35.

The Chiefs offense doesn not have an identity. We don't just maul it out and protect the defense like against Baltimore and we don't know if we want to try and open it up like the Rams and be a pass first team.

No aspect of this team has been reliable enough to "lean" on. No identity yet. This season reminds me of our first year with Priest where it took us about 6 games to understand HOW we needed to play...

Who got the sacks, anyway? I guess I didn't see Henderson and Stroud running amok. Welbourn made a few mistakes, including that ticky-tack holding call, and I thought Willie Roaf did fine handling his opponent's one-move speed rush. It looked like the guy was collapsing the pocket, but in reality Willie was just letting him run behind Trent.

That said, we gave up six sacks, which is the most we've given up in a long time. Who was getting them? It seemed like it was more linebackers based on my foggy memory.

I guess I can agree with that. Though, I know the identity that Saunders wants us to have, he wants the Ram style offense. I understand that he was brought in to do the job a certain way, but you have to be flexible, you have to realize what you have (as well as what you don't have) and make adjustments.

What we have is Priest Holmes, and used properly, he will help bring about that Ram style offense. Saunders needs to learn that the two are not mutually exclusive.
