Perhaps the stadium [glass] is twice as big as it needs to be.

I know this is becoming cliche, but like with Charles, you are going to see a much more focused, “ready to play”, Bowe Show…

Is he still going to drop passes? Maybe…

But he has the confidence that wants the ball thrown his way the next play.

This coupled with crisp route-running, he is a better wide-out for it.

love the positivity.

I keep waiting for the team to put it all together, because I also see lots of positives and potential.

I think they are now nearly set at some key positions that were HUGE holes last year (WR, DE, maybe even LB)

Special teams is much improved, especially punt and kick coverage, and of course, SUCCOP

Pass rush is better, but not there yet… 10 sacks already is a start… now push past 20 and get closer to 30 by the end of the year!

Cassel is still a positive in my opinion. For all the criticism… he sure seems to know how to lead the team to TD drives in the 4th quarter… get that started earlier, and you’ve got yourself a good offense

Getting rid of LJ is a HUGE positive… he was a drain

Sorry, Mike, but Goff to the IR is a positive, now we get to see what Alleman and others can do at a position of weakness for KC.

Back to the WR corps… I like Chambers, Wade, and especially Long… give them some time, and better protection for Cassel… and watch out!

with lots of “positives” listed and reasons why we shouldn’t lose hope…yet every week we put up another number in the right hand column while that “1” on the left side remains unchanged……

I’m one of the most optimistic Chiefs fans there are…every week I just KNOW we’re going to win this one…..then reality sets in as the clock runs down.

It’s getting harder to stay positive this season…….

Pioli is lost without the Hoodie.
Haley should be coaching golf, not football.
Cassel should not be a starting QB in the NFL.
Jackson is already a bust.
The sky is already falling and the only thing left to do is get our torches and pitchforks and burn the sucker to the ground.

You people and your positive outlook are just a bunch of Kool Aid Drinkers!!!!!

It’s the team “we chose” to become fans of. No one except for sexassassin was dragged into this fan choice. So why would it be difficult. Chiefs man Chiefs, is all you have to keep thinking.

j/k sexassassin

was because of the presence of Kenny Smith. They are now playing like they have an actual rotation at NT.

I say we stay in it cause the extra TE or Back can’t really stop the pass rush anyway. That’ll at least give Cassel an extra option when the floodgates open. It seems like he’s more comfortable in that set.

Matt Cassel – QB rating 96.3, 23/39 for 262 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT

Once the receivers quit dropping the ball, Matt had a great game.

Chris Chambers – 2 TD catches!

deep on the bench getting coached. Now at the time Jax was driving for an apparent useless score. And this can look good/ or bad way. But Cassel came out firing after the coaching session. 15 points in 3 min. I take away that Haley will make Cassel a QB.
Yelling, talking, or congratualating, Cassel has a Mentor to make him better.

Is that with this coaching staff our glass isn’t half full, hell it isn’t even a quarter full. Our KC glass is sitting at a svelte 1/8ths full in my opinion. Its not just that we are 1-7. I am getting pissed off at seeing ex chiefs succeed elsewhere. While we are stuck with Mike fucking Brown, Bernard Pollard had a career day vs the Colts. Do you know who their QB is? Peyton fucking manning, one of the best QB’s in the league. Who did we play? David fucking Garrard and the hapless passing game of the jaguars. Sure, they can run the ball like hell but they just arent a passing offense. And Mike fucking Brown allows 2 touchdowns because he cant understand that running where the WR was when he caught the ball generally doesnt net you any tackles
My point is this. The chiefs coaches (so far) have been terrible at analyzing talent, and the talent that we do have are playing out of position and aren’t producing the results they should. We have a head coach whose glossary consists of “Shit”,or a variation, “Fuck”, and other variations,“Goddamn”, Jesus Christ", and other combination’s of said words. He spews that shit like it is Ethiopian rescue water. Our defensive coordinator continues to let other teams below average offenses gain 400+ yards on us, which is totally and irrevocably UNACCEPTABLE. We need our coach to wake the fuck up and stop making rookie mistakes or we are doomed.

Defensively, we’re in the top seven or eight in forcing three-and-outs – the top seven or eight in the league. Every team ahead of us in that particular category is a winning team. We’re not a winning team and something’s happening. I think it’s pretty clear to everybody that the big plays are the killers on defense. When we give up big plays in the passing games specifically that’s what’s causing us to lose.

Offensively, we’re number one in [fewest] giveaways – us and New England. Seven times we’ve given the ball away. Generally that’s a winning stat. Generally if through eight games you give the ball away seven times you’re usually a winning team.

And he followed this up by saying that stats are for losers.
But I really think that there are signs that things will turn for the better. Guys are working and starting to come together as a unit. Can’t wait until it starts to show on Sunday.

he seems like he might prove Pioli is as good at picking hidden gems out as his reputation says he is.

The rest….not on board with. Our defense is just horrible over all. Mike Martz was on DirecTV this morning in fact talking about greatness. He just pretty much in his own words said what all NFL experts have always said :greatness finds a way despite the obstacles".

He was talking about Alex Smith. He said he doubted Alex was the permanent answer for 49 ers. Why? Because he plays at the level his offensive line allows. He can’t find a way to win despite it. He said the great ones find a way no matter what else is falling down around them.

Hali is a bright spot. But the rest…i don’t agree with.

I think it’s a lot of wishful thinking. And by KC standards their ok but by NFL standards not at all. We drop passes all the time. We botch routes. We can’t break tackles. OBVIOUSLY we can’t tackle to save our asses, that’s why we lost to Dallas period.

Our o line is atrocious and Waters…well, he’s not playing like his old self..or maybe he is playing like his “old” self.

next year will tell all GO Chiefs!

but some look at me as if the kool-aid has been spiked.

This is definitely not the ‘right 53’ yet but I too feel we are making improvements regardless of the stats. As they continue to piece together this puzzle we will see the big plays begin to diminish and forward strides will truly takeplace in all areas of the team, on the field, in the stats and most importantly in the win column.

The team is still in the building phase and it is slowly coming together brick by brick (players) but I also hope we get far better mortar (ass. coaches) to ensure it remains standing for a long time.

but until it happens, I’ll stay in reality.

Another W even though ugly as hell….And the Zodeman is going to guzzle another big jug of koolaid tonight!!!! Wooohoooo.
