Chiefs This is the team we are, right now

**cdcox** · 10-17-2010, 02:14 PM

So Cassel has his best 3-1/2 quarters as Chief and we lose.

I'm not going to blame the refs -- crap calls happen every game.

I'm not going to blame Haley. This is his coaching style. It is who he is. Sometimes we'll benefit from his decisions and sometimes they will bite us in the back. But I think this is the best coached Chiefs team I've ever seen.

I'm not going to blame the defense. They just got owned today. I was worried about facing a multi-dimensional team. We've been taking away weapons all year, but Houston just had too many of them. Their offense is just too much for our defense based on where it is right now.

We just got beat today. A few breaks go our way and we could have won. I think we play the Texans 10 times and they beat us 7 or 8.

We are an improving team, but we aren't there yet. Plenty of work to do on both sides of the ball.

We need some additional pass rush that's for damn sure.

need a q-back

It is never too much to ask a team to hold onto a 14 point lead.

siberian khatru · 10-17-2010, 02:17 PM

Up 31-21 with 7 minutes to play and a ground game that is owning, I expect to win.

Our defense isn't good enough to expect that against a multidimensional offense that is clicking like Houston was today. In fact, we haven't had a defense strong enough to do that in 10+ years.

The Chiefs held the lead for nearly the entire game until less than a minute. And, you think the Texans beat the Chiefs 7 times out of ten?

Hmmm.

Frankly, I didn't see the game yet. I was at my in laws and they didn't have it there.

But, from what I could tell, the Chiefs played them very well on the road at their stadium.

10 times on neutral field, or 10 times home and home, I probably go 50/50.

JMO.

Realistically we're not talented enough to beat playoff contenders on the road.

We only have one pass rusher, and he disappeared today.

We only had one receiver today. Clearly that wasn't enough.

We have a lot of youth on both sides of the ball.

We're going to lose games like this until we get a better quarterback who can pick up some of the slack.

I hate the third down play call. not that it was a pass just the only real target on that play was moeki throwing across the field

ElGringo · 10-17-2010, 02:27 PM

I say the Chiefs win this game 8 out of 10 times.

I honestly was expecting the Chiefs to run it there 2 times in a row to get that first and seal the game.

But didn't happen.

Not if our defense plays like it did today in those other games.

Defense was pathetic today. Couldn't stop the run. Couldn't get to the QB who had all day to throw.

Yup. What a ****ing joke.

**cdcox** · 10-17-2010, 02:31 PM

On the road we lose 7 or 8 out of 10.

Cassel would have a game like today maybe one of those times. He'd play not terrible another 5 times.

We were better running the ball than I expected against their defense. I don't think we do that every game, but we'd get our yards more often than not.

Our defense wouldn't play as bad as today every game, but I doubt we would hold them under 24 more than a couple times.
