I’m not quite sure what you were all expecting. We are going to struggle until the offensive and defensive lines are sound, PERIOD!!! It is incredibly hard to evaluate the skill positions when the play is blown up before it has a chance to develop. I happen to believe we have decent talent at the skill positions. LJ is running hard, in spite of me loathing him; Bradley has to be one of the most underrated receivers in the league; Savage, Charles, and Battle are serviceable backups. I am pretty sure Cassell is wondering what he got himself into, but this experience is forcing him to make quick decisions which will hopefully benefit the team in the future. Not to mention that he has shown the ability to throw well WHEN he has time.

BUT, without blocking Peyton, Clark, and Wayne would look human, too.

Just as our defensive front allows mediocre players (Miles Austin) look like pro bowlers. You can’t expect the secondary to cover that well for THAT long without someone getting free, thus the front 7 HAS to get pressure.

On a positive note, the mindset does appear to have changed in the locker room. I don’t see disgruntled players (other than Brian Waters). I have actually seen some heart and passion, which maybe the biggest component we have lacked. Be patient my friends, we have been down darker roads before…….I can see the light……..even though it might take us awhile to get there.

I was talking with my cousin about Cassel and we both agreed that he is a stud. The guy has a RB that gets 2.0 ypc, no talent at WR or TE, and 1-2 seconds to throw. Yet he still puts the same numbers up as Tom Brady. I know, Tom isn’t what he was, but still, I got to give it to Cassel. He’s the man. I feel sorry for the guy.

You know I’m ready to place blame it lies with Scott Pioli how come we as fans knew that the chiefs need an OL and with out that it dosen’t madder who your QB,RB, or your Head Coach is he can call the best game of his life and still loose. Because the OL is not protecting the QB or openning holes for the RB. All SP got were players that were cut or there team did not care that they went to another. So now we still do not have and OL and the chiefs are not winning. Haley’s falt maybe but I think it’s Scott Pioli.

I’m not willing to start blaming anyone yet. I’ll wait until next year to do that. You’re right about the talent. I am going to the game next week in DC and I wanted to by a new jersey to wear. So I started thinking about which jersey I wanted to buy. I couldn’t decide. Lack of talent currently on the team. So I ordered a Derrick Thomas 58 jersey to be safe.

I really don’t expect this team to win a game until October or November of 2010. This is one of the most pathetic teams (other than the Rams) I’ve ever seen. Who are the Chiefs going to pick with the 1st draft pick this yearâ€™s draft is a more relevant questionâ€¦

Yes, I think Chan Gailey had a good idea of the talent levels of our players and of the limitations/capabilities of our offense. I think we probably should have kept him around at least for this season for those reasons. Chan wasn’t afraid to call whatever play he could to get the offense moving and try and win the game.
