Chiefs This team is headed in the right direction - Page 2

JimNasium · 09-20-2009, 02:16 PM

Despite the loss and the sloppy plays I saw some real positives today. The team plays hard, the head coach is passionate and has a vision and there actually seemed to be some excitement in the crowd. It's going to be a rough year but I've drank to kool-aide.

Just sayin'.

Yeah, the trajectory is definitely up. However, the angle may be smaller than I'd hoped.

Don't overreact. I think we all knew this was going to be a long season.

They made very few mistakes last week, and hung in with a much better team. This week, they ****ed up at every opportunity, and found a way to out "Raider" the Raiders.

I do believe they've gonna get it right.. it's just gonna take time.

That's what I heard at the beginning of last season.

It's always possible that I'm wrong.

Well... at least it wasn't the sloption.

**Baby Lee** · 09-20-2009, 02:32 PM

I'll say it now and stand by it. This team won't be .500 again before year 3 of the next coaching regime.

With all due respect, I think you are wrong on this prediction.

ChiefaRoo · 09-20-2009, 02:34 PM

this is the first KC game I've given a shit about in a long time. I agree this team has a clue it just doesn't have the talent or experience yet. It'll come.

This is a joke of a franchise, they don't deserve to take the field and share in the profits.

When you cut 30 players from your roster, that means you are putting 30 new guys on. Most of those are going to be guys that other teams don't want. I really never expected to see marked improvement this season except better coaching.

Just a pathetic post.

Huge improvement over last week in terms of performance, but they took an equally huge step back by committing a shitload of penalties and turning the ball over. Unforced Chiefs errors gave Oakland that game. The Chiefs are not good enough to overcome mistakes. Which I'm sure they're going to get pounded into them all week.

The defense played well, but they still have to get more pressure. Russell really helped them out a lot. He has any accuracy or touch and it probably would have been a totally different game.

I expect the team to gradually get better as the season goes on. Cassel should get better, too, this being his first live play in, what, a month? With a receiver who wasn't on the team a week ago playing a key part of the offense.

One thing to keep in mind is just how many people tried to pound on the idea that Oakland is a much more talented team than KC. Well, we just completely dominated them. The first thing the Chiefs have to learn is how to finish. Not just games, but individual drives. And halves. They have to learn how to win. 'cause losses are contagious as much as wins are.

So...you are saying you think we might get to .500 in year 3?

That's possible....
