3. Did we miss Dorsey and Cassel all the much? I don't think the results would have been much different if they had played. This team has no depth. If you ask Clark Hunt, he can give you about 30 million reasons why that is. Chiefs Cheap is coming home to roost now. Do the Chiefs care? Not really. What do you want from them? They've already said they're not raising ticket prices next year, and the nosebleed seats will actually be cheaper. So now you can pay less to see the same garbage. Doesn't that make you feel better? And, if you pay your bill early, you'll get an exciting chance to win one of 30 prizes! Kind of like playing Monopoly at McDonalds. Ooo....look, I won small Coke. And it only cost me Three Grand!
2. There's been a lot of speculation that Coach Haley will get fired. I once told him he deserved to be fired, and he didn't agree with me. I've been watching the Chiefs front office for a long time. I don't think Clark is very far removed from his daddy. I think they'll white-wash this season as being all injury related, and give Haley one more year. Besides, he has another year on his contract, and the Hunt Family is notoriously cheap. They won't want to pay two coaches at the same time. People keep saying "Go get Gruden, or Jeff Fisher, or Cowher." I think Pioli has a bit of King Carl Control Disease, and wouldn't want to share power with a strong, experienced head coach. Not just yet, anyway. Pioli still has that "Hoodie's Yes Man" image that he's trying to shake. He needs to prove he can do it out of Hoodie's shadow. Until he does that, I don't think he'll go for a coach that has more success and experience than he's had. Watch for the Chiefs to give the Duke of Dink the dreaded vote of confidence, trade down in the draft, and take an offensive tackle in the first round. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

Absolutely agree with these, and these are the reasons I likely won't spend my hard earned out there until major changes come down the pipe. I'm sure I'll hit a game or two, but otherwise it's just not worth the investment.
Piloi's "cash available vs. cap available" argument is Mike Brown-esque, and makes me want to puke. Lowball your team and fans, and this is what you get - a team not filled with talent at as many positions as you can get, and a fan base full of ambivalence. Sad, really.
