Not surprising... like I said, his time was pre-cap. He's a dinosaur. It'll take him a while to adjust to the new league, or it'll flush him.

Did Gretz/Rufus poo poo the free agent impact of TO and Jevan Kearse? I must've missed that one.

The latter. Consider it a form of dialogue that we're all given the "privilege" to be exposed to.

The fact is the Pats, the Steelers, and especially the Eagles are all reaping the rewards of FO and these numb nuts are just talking about it. If you look a Philly, you have to admire the way things have worked out for them; finally getting the pieces and experience to get there... Hugh Douglas (just one example) was brought back to fill a role. Was this case worth it? I would say absolutely. Douglas could have been a Chief, or a player on any other team.
You could argue the pressure the Eagles have had heaped on them from Philly Fan and Philly Media for the past 4 years has made a difference in their attitude for acquiring players. I don't see that type of pressure from KC Fan. Even if the atmosphere from KC Fan(s) was nasty it's hard to see any affect on the "philosophy" of the Org.

His comments at his nascar press conference earlier this week about how his time in the nfl will be short and really short if he has another year like last year--riled the base considerably.

Their talking about how great Gregg Williams will be as HC. They must not watch Buffalo games here.

Philly made <i>several</i> FA acquisitions: Owens, Douglas, Kearse, Trotter

Nah, Free Agency doesn't help. Nope. Nu uh.

We have maybe one more year with our O. We need a quality D to help us win a S.B. while the opportunity is there.

Point is Kingless is only interested in filling seats so the bottom line can remain fat. He is less interested in winning a S.B.

This is a question for you: Is it OK to not win the Superbowl and not make the playoffs as long as you don't go on vacation during the first week of free agency?

Point...He did try to upgrade the defense, you just don't agree with the strategy. The Chiefs signed several free agents. They happened to be former Chiefs. Did it work out for them this past season? No. The Chiefs also fired their defensive coordinator, hired a new one, picked up Dalton, and drafted several defensive players.

30 other teams besides the Chiefs will have "lost a season of opportunity."

OMG. If Snyder hires him as HC it will confirm that he has absolutely NO CLUE when it comes to picking HCs.

I have yet to see where anyone said free agency doesn't help. I'll keep looking.
Douglas and Trotter were drafted by the Eagles. Horror of all horrors, they brought back their own players, after disappointing seasons with other teams no less.

I'll give you Owens and Kearse, but Trotter and Douglas were proven FA failures that went back to their old club while still hitting the salary caps of Washington and Jax respectively.

Trotter was definately playing for a new contract this year after he took the last 2 years off.

31 other teams didn't have the best offense in the league going into the year for the second consecutive season. That's THREE years now that we've had half a team.

The 'decision' to replace the DC and JUST the DC was frigging brain-dead. Yeah, it was ALL Knobinson's fault.... Guinta and the rest of DV's buddies had nothing to do with a league-wide JOKE of a defense. Players had nothing to do with it either.... nope, Knobinson was so bad, he made them miss tackles. Yeah, that's it. Replace just GR and re-sign all the players from the league-wide JOKE of a defensive squad. Brilliant!

I want them ALL fired. Inept. Totally inept.
