You're acting like we could just happen to make a superbowl.....Last time I checked you have to make the playoffs and build a team before you can win a superbowl....That is what we are doing. I think we are on the right path.

You are saying you WANT us to lose. That is ****ing lame IMO. I want to win every game.

Hey I want to win games too but the simple fact is we won't win a SB with cassel at the helm. Anything that results in his removal from this team is a positive step forward for this team, if that means losing every reaming game this year then 110% I hope that happens. It's not about winning or losing it's about getting rid of cassel.

Right now it looks like we are following the model of the 90s and that model is absolutely a failed model. It doesn't matter what we do in the regular season, what matters is what we do in the post season and the simple reality is we haven't won a playoff game since 1994. The last time we won a playoff game we had an elite(albeit aging) QB. Since then we haven't won shit. Some people like cock teases, personally I don't, you either win or you lose and the 90s chiefs are my definition of losers.

Following their model will just result in yet another 15 years of frustration. Hey it's great that we're not sucking, but now it's time to take that next step and simply put, we can't take that next step with cassel.

I like winning as much as the next guy, but if we can't actually do something in the playoffs does it really matter what we do in the regular season. See this is the fraud that's placed upon every fan, if you're running your football team as a business you care substantially less about winning in the playoffs. Winning consistently in the regular season is what sells season tickets, the 90s chiefs are a model of this. People will sell out the regular season, and you'll always sell out any games in the playoffs, but if you don't go anywhere what's the point? There's a strong incentive not to suck in the regular season because then you have empty stadiums, less TV revenue and the team may fail. But if you succeed in the regular season and sell out your games is there s strong incentive to win a SB?

I don't think so at least financially, teams are content to make the playoffs and sell out regular season games. But if you do nothing once you get there then what's the point. To me any team that can't win in the playoffs is an extremely mediocre team.

So yes I would take a whole lot of pain this year to give us a chance next year. Anything to get rid of cassel. If we do just 'ok' cassel won't likely get booted, because his contact is too big. But if we lose quite a few games, directly because of him then he is gone, and this team is better off.

Maybe you don't like it, but I'd like to think of the Chiefs as world champions, to me making the playoffs doesn't mean anything any more. There are no prizes for 2nd place.
