Chiefs This is the team we are, right now - Page 2

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.

Yeah but as crap calls go this was a masterpiece.

But didn't happen.

Me too.

I agree with the OP. We simply got beat in the end today. That's it. The PI call was BS, the coaching was risky, but in the end OUR TEAM FAULTERED. We failed to win this game. The defense FAILED to play a full 60 minutes. Moving on...

Everyone needs to pipe down. We are not that good. Expect to lose alot more

Romeo was outcoached today. First time as a Chief. That being said, I am proud of our guys and the zeebs didnt help. Cassel played well enough to win.

Two things would have saved today's game:

A pass rusher who can make a play at a key moment
A quarterback who can make a play at a key moment

This was exactly the kind of game I don't want to see, where they dink and dunk to a whopping 200 yards and it looks wonderful on paper because Cassel didn't throw any picks. We did not score 31 points because of Cassel, we scored 31 points because of 228 yards running the ball. Put a quarterback behind center that can do more than dump the ball to backs and throw 5 yard crossing routes and we probably score 45, instead of failing to execute in the red zone in the fourth quarter or failing to get a single first down with 3:30 to go, the lead and an opportunity to put the game away, and then failing to do anything at the end of the game.

The real difference in today's game was that the Texans had Matt Schaub at quarterback, and he did all the things that Matt Cassel can't. Because their defense sure didn't do anything. Charles and Jones ran over them like they weren't even on the field. But they had something that we didn't, and that's a quarterback that can make big plays with the game on the line.

Which is not to say that our defense didn't completely shit the bed in the second half. Dorsey and Hali looked like the 2008 versions of themselves when the game mattered. That was a game that, much like the quarterback, a single game-changing play from either one of them would have been the difference. And neither one of them could do a ****ing thing.

Defense gave up a 21 point 4th quarter.

This. And our QB is the least sacked QB in the NFL(going into this game)...Yet he is 30th in pass completion %, 28th in passing yards, and 25th in QB rating.
