Coaching/preparation question

While I'm happy that we won yesterday (frankly I can't believe we're 2-2), I'm still not sold. First half was a travesty...again...and the only salvation was finally opening up the offense in the second half coupled with some inspired defensive play/turnovers. I'd like to see what we did in the second half carry over to next week and beyond before I start to feel comfortable.

Given the circumstances of the Chiefs resurgence yesterday, and the atrocious start of the season this year (and last)...does anyone legitimately have confidence in this coaching staff? Two items that immedately come to mind:

1. Why are Herm and his staff seeming incapable of getting a team ready to play in the 6 weeks of training camp? This year and last (and I seem to recall with the Jets as well), Herm coached teams don't look like they should even be on the field when the regular season starts. It takes them weeks to begin to play coherently.

2. Herm and Solari (though I think Solari is essentially a Herm yes-man) clearly have designs on what they want to offense to be/do. They want to be a pound-it team...but the Chiefs seem to do much better when they actually go downfield a bit, get the receivers involved, etc. and then try to run once they've back off the D. Why do Herm and Solari insist on trying to jam a square peg into a round hole, rather than honestly evaluating what the team is able to do best (i.e. why force the offense to play a style they're not suited to)?

Getting to .500 feels great, but I'm still not convinced that the existing staff knows what they're doing, and I'm not going to be lulled out of what I think are legitimate questions/objections just because we've won a couple of games.

Thoughts?
