I'm really thinkiing we can win, but it is going to be difficult. It seems to me as if most of the weaker opponents on our schedule have upgraded their talent significantly. Plus, I already think we are behind several teams as far a realistic possibilities of going to the Super Bowl as on May 5th. Indy, NE, Denver, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, to name a few.

I like the Head Coaching change. I like the new assistant coaching changes. But I am a little leary on Gun being the weak link that will prevent us from possibly going to the Super Bowl. It seems as if the new HC has come in and told the DC we are going to run the cover two. I'm thinking if Gun really believed in the cover two, then that would have been the staple of what we were doing, not something we are going to change to.

I think he is full of crap, and has been elected to Pope status around here because of a 4 down sereis against the Bills many years ago when he blitzed the hell out of Collins on first-and-goal late in the game.

If we go to the Super Bowl, I personally feel it wil be in spite of Gun instead of because of Gun.

Which of our weaker opponents upgraded any more than we did?

Cincy is soft, as soft as we have been under Vermeil. And Denver? Please.

The more I think about this draft and the more I read about the team, the less I think we're gonna go full-on Cover 2...

wow. that's pretty harsh.

one way or the other Gunther did something stupid...he played a player that was injured and sucked, or he "sacrificed" a year to let a player learn a new position...personally, I still think Gun is part of the problem....his schemes and talent evaluation skills are questionable...but we're stuck with him...

No kidding. Consider the outcome the last time we faced each of these teams. [shudder]

It is, and I agree with him.

ok.

and?

We annihilated Cincy @ Arrowhead. We beat Denver @ Arrowhead.

I think we can hang with NE.

Sarcasm detector was needed. We beat each of these teams the last time we played them.

Granted they were all in Arrowhead.

Just going to cover a few things that have been mentioned.

Has anyone from the Chiefs come out and stated that we are going to convert to a cover two as our base D, or is this just an assumption based on the fact that Hermie has been named HC?


So Gunt, whose talent evalution has been suspect, is excited because the guys he wanted are the ones we got?

And we should be excited?

I'm not excited at all about Bell.
He lacks the speed to be an edge rusher, which is how Gunt intends to use him, as I understand it.

I think we can play with anybody. I get railed on for saying this but I still think schedule plays a part of it. Us and San Diego were two very good teams last year but our schedule beat us down. The players and coaches can't use that as an excuse but as an objective fan I do think it makes a difference. Pittsburgh had the easiest schedule of the three of us down the stretch and look what happened to them. Just like how Indy and Denver used easy schedules to catapult themselves into the bye games. Having to basically play 6 straight playoff games at the end of the year was just brutal. We proved we could play with a lot of those teams, and we got beat up by a couple of them. It's a small difference between great, good, and bad in the NFL.

Just thought I'd let you know that someone out here agrees with him.

And I'll bet you aren't surprised by my opinion, either.

I misread, sorry.

Interestingly enough, I just watched the cincy game the other day.

It would've been nice if we didn't sustain injuries at each level of the defense. I'm just hoping that the other players respond like Kawika did, and the fact that we have a defensive minded HC can't hurt their psyche.

I love the O DV brought, but it was at the expense of the D. not only player wise ( no major push before last offseason), but mentally as well.

Ya, I wonderd why you didn't just give him props.

And it appears to get smaller every year.
