I mean...all of their talk about Tamba Hali being a disaster has really quieted down...mecca laughed to the bank at someone predicting a successful transition and a 10 sack season...would anyone truly be shocked, right now, if Hali finished this next season with 8-11 sacks?

I know I wouldn't.

Again:

Of all the guys who were cut in the roster reductions, is Ryan O'Callaghan really the only one who is worth a waiver claim? Is he the only guy who can improve our team?

We all know this team has shit for talent, so why not try and accumulate some?

i just can't feel the hysteria they feel, so i find it all kind of funny


just enjoy it

You have a point...I try to stay in the background most of the time but when they soil the whole ****ing board with post after post after post of the same ****ing shit it gets annoying. Any thread over 100 posts regarding the Chiefs eventually turns into the same bullshit with the same cast.

Some posters are so pissed at the roster moves you'd think they were watching Herman Edwards coach a football game or something.

Are you saying we should have cut down to 40 players and put in 10+ waiver claims? Does anyone do that? Ever?

And do you really think the moves are over?

Well I'm glad we have reached a consensus, that Pioli and Haley have been given more than enough time to show us they know what they're doing, and they should be fired now.

This is the same shit that every other staff does...they hire their boys from their network. This isn't some kind of novel approach in the least.

No one is arguing to fire Pioli, or for Clark to clean house...again the people can't conjure a logical counterargument, so they are reduced to sarcasm and straw men. What we want to see is a rebuilding team rebuild, and it's time to get out the ****ing mortar and trowel and not sit there with your thumb up your ass.

I can't answer the coaching tree question. No one can except the coaches. I think you are expecting a transformation ala what Marty did at KC. Those days are gone. Those pre Marty teams had more talent on the roster the day Marty arrived (Smith, Lewis, Ross, Billy Bob, Pearson, Porter, Hackett, Alt etc) and KC could reach out and acquire players via Plan B which you can't do anymore. KC will make a trade or two but I think this club is going to be built through the draft.

I don't remember him having any problems last week, and he certainly outperformed Ndukwe against superior talent. Unless he called Pioli's wife a cankerous whore, I don't know what would cause the flip.

people complain that we aren't changing the roster


and then when we change the roster they complain that we're changing the roster


it has no talent and herm's players suck, but if you cut one of herm's players after giving him playing time well then you're a clueless asshole and round and round it goes...

[booger]

did anybody claim LB Marcus Freeman from the bears?

Let him at least line up in a real game for KC to find out if he has anything left in the tank. Richardson was a low round pick out of Clemson who was demoted, cut once before if I remember and only looked the part. He's never proved anything at the NFL level and therefore he's gone eventhough he's young.

I understand that, but at the same time, he has proven that during pre-season where he has failed. And again, the general consensus, and I'm sure you would agree to a point, that our offensive line was the weak point at the end of last season. What did the Chiefs do, to upgrad that positions, outside of obtaining Goff?

Brown? He's IR'ed, so he's lost for the season.

Pioli traded a day 2 pick for two offensive linemen from Miami, who were 3rd stringers. I'm not so sure that's improving.

And the Chiefs are getting rid of two guys, who are 23 and 25 respectively? You shouldn't really be getting rid of young offensive linemen, especially when they were day two picks (both were sixth rounders). And we have currently, as far as I know, 8 guys are active on the offensive line. Of course, I am glad we used one pick on Williams, instead of O-line.

With all that being said, have the Chiefs "improved" their line? My answer?

"No."

It's just the meccas and hamas' that "break down film" (and by that, they cherry pick from scouting boards and form opinions based off of expert opinions) and then can't get over it 5 months after the fact...so every little thing turns back into a pissing match...(although I know longer hear the Tyson Jackson crying after he flashed some serious potential in the preseason)...

These guys loved the PICK THE "EXPERTS" BPA draft fest 2008 (I seriously think Kuharich and Herm and whoever else in charge just drafted off of Mayock's top 100 list)...and that draft turned into a...what? A C draft...yaaay.
