Sorry Rick but I fear you are the one without much knowledge.

Like I said….not a clue what his role is! MORON!

I do not think anyone, especially me, can fade the fact the Chiefs took out the NFL champs. THAT doesn’t happen by chance or luck. Either factor could come into play, but come on! The TEAM somehow found the mojo to get it done and I’m down with that.

So now, I ask was the Steel win a flash in the pan? I think many of us, if we’re doing some gut checking, are asking the same?

The Steeler game, to me, took on a life of its own and never left me with a feeling the Chiefs couldn’t find a way to win it. Sort of a ‘feeling’ based on the way the game unfolded if you know what I mean? The Chiefs had considerable impact on that feeling, by the way, and I’m acknowledging same.

Are the guys starting to figure it out? Starting to BELIEVE? Starting to think they deserve to win? If so, the fulcrum of the unlikely Steel win was not a fluke.

1. Any team who drafts for need usually does not get it.

2. Jackson has not stuff the run yet. A couple of games he actually fell in front of the running back and got credit for a tackle. He did have several better than average plays Sunday, so maybe he is learning. But he is no quick study.

3. Dorsey was a DT last year and shifted to DE so it slowed his developement. Still a question mark.

4 Jackson is a “beast”. Do not see it. He shows no aggressive nature. Just a guy who ties up one OL, if that is a beast then he is already one.

5 Magee has a bigger upside than Jackson. Much less playing time but similar stats. Jackson is only the starting DE because he was drafted in the first round.

6. Jackson may develope or not time will tell.

“Im seeing everyone gets there hopes up that we are this bad ass team and are going to win a bunch of games.”

My hopes are only up because we finally played all four quarters of the game. Not perfect, mind you…just that we played the whole game for the first time this season. With no major mistakes…and the guys never gave up. Even in the win over the Raiders, we looked dismal. But, if we can play like we played against the Steelers? I think we can be “in” every game from here on out. Not necessarily win, but be in the game…as opposed to getting smoked like the Chargers did to us. We’re a long way from being “bad ass”. But yes, my hopes are definitely up after last Sunday. Because now I know for certain that this team CAN do it.

Ive been on the haley/cassel band wagon this entire time too…..

Im seeing everyone gets there hopes up that we are this bad ass team and are going to win a bunch of games.

I predict we will and are better, but we will still show out true colors once in ahwile

1. Jackson was a reach based on need. He hasn’t been bad, but he hasn’t been worth 50 plus mil. He probably won’t ever be, but so long as he stuffs the run for years to come, I won’t harp on it.

2. Charles will need some help at some point. He’s tougher than I thought, but Kolby got hurt again, Savage hasn’t been as good as I’d hoped, and Jarvaris Williams must not be ready or we wouldn’t have signed Castille. I like Battle in short yardage, but he has been injury prone as well. I’m NEVER a fan of drafting RBs early, but maybe we can find a gem in the later rounds next year or sign a veteran who still has a little gas left in the tank.

3. I’ve been defending Haley and Cassel all year long and I’m glad they FINALLY came up big in the clutch. I’ve been studying this team as closely as anyone for 15 years and I truly believe that both of these guys can be successful if Pioli would get them some more talent to work with.

4. O line should be a focal point in the draft. I’d even draft an OT over Eric Berry if given the choice. We should have taken Monroe last year, but if we sign a veteran OG (New England’s Neal and Mankins are both FAs next year) and draft an OT and C in the first three rounds then we might have a dramatically improve line, which will only make everyone on offense better.

SO HAPPY we beat the freaking Steelers! This was maybe the most surprising win of the decade. If we finish 6-10 this year (which is what I predicted/hoped for) then Haley’s first year should be considered a success, and the team should be primed to make a run at the playoffs in 2010. Keep your fingers crossed people!

In Haley I trust…..

I do NOT miss Rin! He was incredibly annoying. Seriously, the man needs help. His dysfunctional comments too often became the focal point instead of the Chiefs. His absence has been pure bliss.

I thought he looked like a beast at training camp and as a player that turned the corner.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Not that the chiefs couldn’t have used Pollard this year, because we all know they could…

I was only mentioning that with Magee, Jackson, Succup, and maybe Washington – %50 of your draft class making the field isn’t to bad for the first year of the regime. Next year however you have to hope for closer to 75% of the players drafted to be out on the field on Sundays.

LJ in his prime, without the attitude and off-field problems would fill the bill, obviously. My point is that Charles cannot keep taking those huge hits and remain effective. The Steel laid the wood to him a couple of times this past Sunday and I thought, “Man Alive!”

So put me down as one who would like to see the Chiefs target and get that bigger fast back during the off-season/draft to give the team a little more balance and options.

JB

Even with the win, he still needs to find some offense somewhere to take a little pressure off the defense. Spec, Teams coach needs a pay raise, period.

Other than “Mr. Irrelevant,” what have this year’s draft choices contributed? That concerns me.

I don’t care what Todd’s excuse was or is for leaven 3 time-outs on the board at the end of the first half, it was a BONE-HEADED move as a rookie head coach being down 17-7.

Go Chiefs!!!

Some of us have never considered Todd the pigskin village idiot. Poor talent on team, new headcoach, questionable calls, yes. Pigskin idiot would be reporters, media, and us, trying to judge someone after less than 1/2 a season. Notice I did say us, not blaming the media for everything. Your cohort in the business, Kietzman says he has many callers asking for Haley’s job. I have not heard that. Further proof that the media creates a lot of it’s own self sustaining b.s.. Me? I think it was never as bad as reported, and I am not getting overly excited about the turnaround, it is a long process. We will probably lose to the Chargers, but still finish strong. Next year .500 or so, then if no strike, a playoff contender. A contender, no guarentee we make it, but a contender. Been cheering for the Chiefs for 40 years, can hang in there awhile longer.
