Chiefs Flame away at my Homerism.....I ain't no Claythan. - Page 2

Yeah, I watched the Chiefs game Sunday. I was bitterly disappointed, like many other fans. I looked at the half empty stands, a team that half the players’ names I don’t even recognize, and play calling that made me yell and scream.

I told my son of the “Glory” days. The days the stands were filled EVERY Sunday. “Black outs” were not even a second thought. There were great names…Len Dawson, Otis Taylor, Joe Delaney, Ed Podolak, Emmitt Thomas, Derrick Thomas and even Joe Montana. We knew who played for the Chiefs then!

Yes, there have been down times when fans didn’t fill Arrowhead. And yes, it’s been 40 years and counting since our ONLY Super Bowl Championship. But I have lived in Kansas City for OVER 40 years. I have been a Chiefs fan for OVER 40 years. I will die a Chiefs fan.

With all of that background, I will tell you this. Haley and Pioli inherited a team of prima donnas, malcontents and losers. They didn’t have much time to rectify this or implement their vision. They needed to bolster the roster, eliminate the malcontents as well loser mentality.

Haley has shown that he could take 52 people off the street and win more than 2 games. He has eliminated some of the malcontents, and bolstered the roster. He is beginning to implement his vision.

I am willing to deal with this season. Hell, no one expected a decent season! Haley has had horrific clock management and play calling. He has had ego problems. But he is a freshman head coach. I see the advancement through the disasters. I am willing to let Haley grow as well as let my beloved Chiefs grow.

Yes, thankfully, we have had glory days. Yes we have had a long drought. Yes we have had low times and ARE having a low time. But….I refuse to give up. I am willing to see the forest through the flames.Am I alone??.....

1. Haley has to own up that he is young, and does not have all the answers.

2. A new DC (Crennel please)

3. A new OC (one that doesn't threaten Haley, but knows how to make lemonade out of lemons).

4. Some "gray hair" on the coaching staff to help Haley get through his freshman anxiety.

5. Unless a "can't miss" NT is available in the 2nd, no more D-linemen in next years draft please.

6. There are no good O-line free agents, so trade one of our fifth picks for someone's "decent" lineman.

7. Someone tutors Cassel on the 2 minute drill (especially when you have no time outs), and removes any possibility of passing on a short route unless it is a pattern out of bounds. See #3 above.

8. A good draft based upon BPA, rather than reaching for a position.

Well, that is a dandy little list you drew up there and I think it is a good list but, 2,3,4 aren't going to happen and Cassel is already to punch drunk and inept for number 7 to work. Haley thinks Clancy is a good DC and Haley thinks he is the best OC around.

Year one has said a lot, we shall see how they manage year 2 before we call for the gallows.
