Haley, Pioli Smelling Like Herm, Carl

[JD10367]

That's an awful long bullshit article.

It was one ****ing game. ONE. People are reacting like they're 1-14 already.

Yes, losing Berry sucks. Yes, Cassel has worn out his welcome. But the team is better than it has been, and at least tasted some success (11-5 and a playoff berth was a lot better than almost anyone figured). Haley may not be the most lovable guy and maybe he's a bit too immature for the position right now, but let's not forget that Belichick didn't do so hot in his first tenure. Pioli isn't the problem. Haley probably isn't the problem. Cassel is part of the problem. The fact that it's a young team without quality depth yet is part of the problem. Losing their best young defender will be part of the problem.

10-6 and swept by the Raiders, Cassel was 11-5 with Brady's team. The team has now lost 7 in a row, so it is getting a little old.

Not sure about people, but the guys wearing the red jerseys didn't win.

When was the last time you watched a Chief's victory?

We dismissed the preseason play, because we were told they were going all in for the first game of the season, Buffalo.

right now it is a process, and it is called losing.

Counting wins and losses in preseason is stupid as ****. Talk about being unprepared, but don't talk about wins and losses. It sounds stupid. It's like saying that the Patriots had lost 5 in a row prior to the 2007 regular season.

Normally, I would agree with you. But in this instance, I do not. The team finished with two losses last season, and was not in either game.

They started out with a loss this year, and were not in the game after 7 seconds.

The preseason losses fill the gap between them.

now get the **** off of my lawn n00b!

The Chiefs were 10-6 last year, 10-7 if you count the playoff game.

That's barely any more success than Herm's Chiefs at this point.

Who traded for and gave Cassel $60 million?

That's the problem I have with Pioli. He's the one that acquired Cassel and gave him that contract before he proved he's worth that much. He's the one that hired Haley (and the book isn't completed on him just yet). He's the one who drafted Tyson Jackson and the rest of that awful draft class. 2010 was better, and 2011 obviously is too early to judge fairly.
