For those petition lovers.... just change the channel like you probably always do by the 4th quarter every week.

The low point was dropping the ball against Oakland. Had we won that game and stood at 2-5, I think that would make all the difference in the world. Honestly, did anyone really expect us to be better than say, 3-4 at this point in the year? I think Savage would be a better option at KR than Charles. Charles has that speed, but Savage runs more aggressively and I think he would get it out to the 30 on a more consistent basis. If Charles is in line to get 20-25 on offense on Sunday, he doesn't need to be running back kicks. Maybe Savage gets another shot at that KR role. This season hasn’t been a total disaster.

If I'm gonna here pissing & moaning I can go to my in-laws house... Calm down people. One game at a time. We have all been disappointed this year as in recent years. Pioli was the most sought after GM replacement in recent years. Patience & Faith Chiefs fans. Pass it on... I’m with you Rodeo Dude. If I’m gonna here pissing & moaning I can go to my in-laws house…

Not to mention, there probably is/was some clause in there that you can't undercut your former team in all areas because of the intimate knowledge that you had of that team. I am pretty sure that NE is smart enough to make sure that wasn't going to happen. I realize people aren't happy because the Chiefs are doing so good this year. But holy cow people, to be asking for the new peoples heads to be rolled is ridiculous and unreasonable to have expected them to come in here and magically we are a division champion contender. The team sucked. The previous coaching sucked. The previous drafting sucked. A lot of things sucked. Some things still suck. Some things are still going to suck next year to. But overall, this team will have improved from where it was back on the very first day of training camp. We will have a better record this year than what we had last year. Mark my words. And in 2010 we will have a better record than we are going to finish with this year. Its called progression and you have to give it time to happen. Everyone has a right to their personal opinion. Its just that I am having to hold my nose more often than not when I come onto this site.

The trends are interesting but don't necessarily provide any answers. Better blocking will cure all ills. And the petition thing is rediculous. It might make the petitioners feel powerful but won't change a thing, and can only be divisive when Larry does come back. Not good for the team at all. LJ is an arse, his Haley comments inexcusible, but his name calling is simply immature. Get over it. Bob, thanks for an insightful analysis.

Business executives move up, move out, accept new challenges, try new things. And this IS a promotion for Pioli, after all. He's never been a GM before. Personally, I think the guys got balls. Nobody had a gun to his head to leave New England. And the guy leaves his good job there to come here to try and turn around this mess? However it ends up...I think the dude has some serious balls for TRYING. Agreed, gorillafan. Business executives move up, move out, accept new challenges, try new things.

The stats on the Chiefs early offensive skills were much better than I thought. It will be extra nice Mad Chief with LJ out of the arena on Sunday. Hopefully we have a running back with a breakout game. If not, we may have to satisfy the players union & insert LJ back into the line up. Rodeo John... I agree with your prediction of a changing offense on Sunday. I disagree that playing a simpler offense is detrimental to the Chiefs offensive future. I am of the opinion that a more aggressive approach by our offense is in order. We find ourselves behind, early in most games. Oue conservative & safe 1st qtr. has gotten us nowhere thus far. We need to set Matt Cassel free & let him rip. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know our o-line sucks, but think about it, we do'nt scare any opponent with our offensive prowess. If we are aggressive early with some success, I see the o-line playing better, happier & meaner. A little offensive line swagger early in a game would be refreshing & justified if we can put up some early points. I say let's take a few more risks early in the game, score some points & let the defense take care of itself. The Jaguars are the "perfect storm" for the Chiefs to take a few more risks. Go Chiefs. Thanks Bob,

They need to do something drastic and get way ahead early and not let the game get close to only lose to a bad call by a REF . that thinks he is doing his job and he fumbles on a BAD call .
Six bad calls in the last 2 ys have changed the lives of a lot of players – coaches – profits !

Yeah he's done some bad things but things will work themselves out they always do. Let whatever is going to happen happen. Maybe we'll draft the next great RB in years to come and when he gets put behind a better O-line he may climb atop the nfl all time rushing list... I mean guys if you have been a fan of the Chiefs for some time, you have seen this rushing record get broken, and hey, don't worry it will get broken again in the next 10 years FOR SURE. Anyway also, damn Bob Gretz must be really looking for some material to write about at this point because these damn articles are pointless, we know we're bad on offense we don't have to go in details about it to this point Also I want to see Lance Long do well this week, if he recovers well from injury theres no telling how good he may be in the slot Yo devildog and anyone else with this petition thing. go around some other place if you want to spread that around, there’s enough negativity on this team, it doesn’t have to end up on the boards too.

I would rather that our guys play and utilize pro formations and lose than to use the "Arrowspread" or something similar formation and, oh wait that's right...we still lost last year. The reason why I bring this up is because both Haley and Pioli know that the team can not progress by using an easier or collegiate style formation. While I know a bunch of you will not like this I fully believe that he needs to continue implementing his offensive schemes that he is currently running. In the long run it will be more beneficial to the team. The right players will be brought in that can run that offense. It will continue to hurt this year. But the pain will go away. Now, I am not saying he can't fix some of his play calling blunders, and I believe that he will and everyone will see a difference in that area this week. But to say he should change his schemes to something easier...yeah, not buying that. It just tells the players that hey, you don't have to play to this higher level that is expected of you in the NFL. We will just take things down to your knowledge/skill/capabilities level and still not be able to compete against these other teams because they ARE holding the standards higher.

He can't continue to think that with the talent he has they can do what it is he wants them to do so it would be best served for him to call plays to thier strengths and not his. Time will tell if "He Gets It" or not this next half of the year. I sure hope so. Go Chiefs!!! By now Haley has to realize what talent he has and how to utilize it in his offensive play calling.
