Chiefs Remember when football was fun to watch? - Page 5

Direckshun · 10-14-2012, 01:53 PM

Me neither.

My fantasy team is dead last, too.

This is probably the worst year of watching football that I can remember in my young lifetime.

2008 came close, but this season feels worse than bad. It feels squandered.

It's much shorter to count the days until college basketball season. I know that's not really considered a sport in Florida, though.

When Schottenheimer was the coach I watched every second of every game, and I always watched the post-game press conferences because Marty was very entertaining.

With Vermeil I watched every second of every game, but I usually skipped the press conferences.

Today I did yard work. I checked the score in the 4th quarter, and then I went back to doing yard work.

Pioli is killing this franchise.

Sometimes even on the kickoff itself.

2003 actually all of the Vermeil era minus the 1st season.

Jayhawks will be pretty good at basketball this year.

Just sayin'

Irish are having a pretty good year.

Keeps getting worse. My fantasy teams keeps doing worse each week. Have to wait till the end of the year to see a fuggin franchise QB, and I don't even have any idea why I spend money on this team. I hope I choke on my own vomit to end my misery.

Chiefs still sell out all their games? Buc fans are a few seasons ahead of you - they stopped going to games since 2009. Have you gotten to that point yet?

AussieChiefsFan · 10-15-2012, 06:01 AM

Although I'm still getting up at 4am on a Monday to watch. :/

ChiefMojo · 10-15-2012, 11:44 AM

The Vermeil era was a lot of fun when it came to offense but man the Marty era was golden!!! Sure we blew a** come playoff time but man was the regular season and Arrowhead so great!

KCDC · 10-15-2012, 12:47 PM

I agree that 2003 was the last fun year. There were entertaining moments in 2010.

Pioli did some good drafting after a craptastic first year draft and a couple of decent FA signings; but, otherwise, he has been a failure. His HC picks have been failures. His public relations efforts have been failures. His delusion that the Patriot Way was the "only" way was a failure. His abject ineptitude in judging QBs is an epic fail.

Remarkably, this team has talent. JC, Bowe, DJ, Berry, Hali, Houston, and Flowers are Pro Bowl caliber (though I am worried about Berry). We then have a group of talented folks behind that: Albert, Winston, Baldwin, TJ, Breaston, DMC, Arenas, etc. They are just coached poorly. The coaches have to go, and that has to be laid at the doorstep of Pioli too.

This is 1987 all over again.

But the good news, it is more fun to watch College football on Saturdays.

Hoover · 10-15-2012, 01:19 PM

I look at it this way.

I root for losses so that we can get a real QB

If we are the worst team in the league, the entire offseason will be about us. Which would be fun.

Yeah, things are pretty interesting right up until the results of the coin toss are announced.
