Cassel Shares Blame In Chiefs' Loss

[donkhater]

Fans of the Chiefs would do themselves a great service to disconnect themselves from the success of this team as it relates to wins and lossses. To think that his team was to look and perform like an average team this early in the season was wishful thinking.

I was encouraged by their performance in Baltimore. Despite being clearly out manned, they made smart decisions, played relatively error free, smart football.

I think that smart team is lurking in this squad and Haley will pull it out of them. I'd be (and may very will be) discouraged if the same thing is happening after the bye week. I think Cassel is clearly an upgrade at QB. As he gets healthier and the offense begins to mesh more, I think we will see a good, decent squad on that side of the ball. World beaters? No. But solid.

The other side of the ball is just outmanned. No amount of scheming can make up for the lack of speed, strength and talent. If Haley and Pioli had to start from scratch, one might think that Flowers, Carr and Jackson would be the only current starters that they would definitely pick out to keep. Everyone else can be upgraded. They need playmakers in the worst way.
