Very nice post.
I didn't watch the game so I don't have anything to add or detract. Just wanted to say it was a good read and I look forward to the next one. |

It's so awesome living in a place that I know will have Chiefs games on TV every week. I'm hoping that next year once things get settled for us here, that I'll be buying some season tickets.

I think you are a little rough. Losing a worthless pre season game to TB is meaning less to be pissed about. Oak beat the Cowboys, but hardly means they are better. Our team is in bad shape, no doubt, but they are getting better and will continue to get better. Alot of us on here have forgotten just how much this team was gutted. Scott has had to start alsmostbn completely from cratch. Not a single position was good but TE and maybe Guard when he got here. The one huge mistake Pioli has made in my opinion is T jackson. Bad pick then an it looks like it now.
Just for shits and giggles: Who cares if Matt can throw down the field real great all the time? He needs to hit the open man, not throw int's and move the chains. If he make reads and get first downs I don't care how far the ball is traveling.

Sure. Not turning the ball over is more important than throwing a deep ball all the time - or even ever, really. But having a limited QB means having a limited offense. How much do you think we're going to be able to move the chains once defenses realize that we have no deep threat?

The thing about DJ is potential. He has shown flashes of brilliance. But his level of play is all over the board. Hard to know what you're gonna get week to week. Derrick Thomas was accused of the same thing, disappearing during playoff games and such.
One other thing I forgot to say was, penalties were down, which was encouraging. We had a couple, the one at the end of the fourth quarter on fourth and goal was a bad one, but overall not a lot of holding in pass protection and such. Of course, we're throwing the ball mostly on a quick three step drop, so we'll have to see if the line can protect on longer routes. Charles got totally blown up trying to block a blitzer in the first half last night, he needs to work on this blitz pickups. |

Its hard to believe the Pioli hasnt drafted a QB in his two drafts. Considering how fragile everyone knew Croyle was......

I'd say so far Pioli's faith in and/or obsession with Cassel has been his biggest flaw. Cassel might be Pioli's Achilles' heel.

What else do you expect Pioli to do. I'm sure that if the Colts offered to trade us Peyton for cassel and 5 draft picks he'd do it. I would have to think we'll be looking QB in next years draft.
