This has become embarassing now!!!

Well I have tried to stay objective, kept my Chiefs sweatshirts out and the flag in front of my home, here in Columbia Mo; however the Chiefs and the whole organization has truly become a joke. Meet several MU players that played there last week, they told me the field was as horrible as it looked on TV yesterday. Are the Chiefs broke??? The coaching and the decisions to bring someone like Todd Haley to Kansas City was indeed a mistake. We have become the laughing stock of the AFC West.

Once a proud and successful organization has lost its way. Something has to change. We had a group of us from Columbia that used to come to the games; even owned season tickets; seems to be a waste of a lot of money, can travel south several times a year for what the season tickets cost and for what, you guys are embarassing and not entertaining. Am sixty years young and the idea of this turning around, so that we will ever have a bright, fun, successful team again seems distant. Sorry but someone needs to be held accountable for this mess Mr. Hunt!

Your MOVE!!! If not I will keep my memories of what the KC Chiefs used to be. I feel very sorry for many many people who held this team as a bright shining outlet in their lives!

you guys are embarassing and not entertaining.

Have fun driving south bandwagoneer. Maybe go watch a Cowboys game or something. Seriously, it takes more than ONE offseason to turn a disaster around. They’re stuck with what they have, which isn’t much. Not only that, we are going from one frame of mind to another on both sides of the ball, which entails even more growing pains.

If you only knew...

Pardon Me

Used to go to memorial stadium to watch Otis Taylor catch passes, paid for season tickets for over twenty five years,,,you? Haley will lose this team, just sit back and watch my friend.

Maybe he will, maybe he won't

but if you’ve been watching the Chiefs that long, then you’ve endured worse than this season.

It’s hard to not live and die with every game when they’re this bad, but I’m of the belief that it will get better. Maybe not next year, but just maybe…

I hope your right,,,,,

Was a fan of a number of number one draft choices this last year, even Jermy Maclin from right here in Columbia is having a great first year; lord knows we could use a great wide receiver, but wondered when we took Jackson if he would indeed help a team in need of so much. After watching yesterday, man he even looks better as a pick lol! Guess I am digussed that on Derricks Day we stunk, meet Derrick, watched his passion and how it carried over on to building the organization. Just don’t see a single player or coach that brings that passion and spirit to this team.

Have a good day my friend.

i agree with saint

When that clock strikes 0:0 in the 4th and we’re superbowl champs, we’ll have the luxury of saying that we toughed it out in the shit times unlike you. How can you even call yourself a fan of football when you give up so easily.

be ashamed of yourself.

Question for the Waffle

When do you foresee 0:0 at the SB?

I’m hoping for the clock to strike 0:0 one more time this year with the chiefs in the lead.

Superbowl is a little much.

by ncchefs on Dec 7, 2009 10:41 AM CST reply actions

not saying this year.

but eventually we will win.

and i take pride in knowing the fact that i can i say i toughed it out through these shit times when its embarrasing to tell your friends your a chiefs fan.

Will remain a Chiefs fan

No matter what happens the rest of the season I’ll look to next season with optimism. I love the Chiefs! This season has been upsetting to put it mildly, but with football there is always next season to look forward to. Just go out and win 3 of the next 4 with one of them being a win over Cinn. to give us something to hang our hat on.

rec'd

but let’s not ruin our draft position at this point. No more blowouts is all I ask.

"The way this works is you string together some good games, some good practices and you get momentum and you gain confidence," linebacker Mike Vrabel said. "It can be a real positive for your team. It builds on itself."

Not one to be a fair weathered fan!

My only comment, I do have to say that the field looked terrible yesterday. Seriously, why is that. The aerial views of the field sure didn’t look like an NFL team.

As for the Chiefs, they always have my support and I will wait for better days and temper my expectations. All the Steeler game did was put unrealistic expectations on the Chiefs again. Nonetheless the team better get with it and show some fight, I don’t see it right now.

Changes? Accountability?

“something has to change… someone has to be held accountable…”

Something has changed, the entire organization has finally been put into competent hands. Someone was held accountable, finally after a decade too long, this past offseason, when Peterson was finally sacked.

Now we are paying the price for waiting ten years too long to move on at GM, for NOT holding the GM accountable for so long as the franchise deteriorated into trash. This offseason was just the starting point. We’re going to have to suffer through this year and probably some more next year because of that.

This whole operation should’ve been held accountable a long time ago, and changes at the top should’ve been made well before we ever traded a 4th round draft pick in exchange for the coaching “expertise” of Herman Edwards. But nothing happened until less than a year ago. We’re still at the very beginning of a process that should’ve happened a long time ago. It’s not going to happen overnight, unfortunately. A team as destroyed as ours takes a long time to fix.

It’s extremely frustrating that we have to go through this now, but this is what happens when the man at the top ISN’T held accountable. The GM position is a big-picture position, the effects of their most important moves don’t come into reality for a while.

Sorry, but the time for this anger was when Peterson had been in charge for over a decade and had gone years without a single playoff win. Things were already in serious decay by then. But nothing happened, no one demanded accountability, and things continued to get worse for years and years, except for a couple of band-aids slapped on trouble spots.

Finally, changes were made this past offseason, but that was only the very beginning of a long process. We will be good again. If you’re mad at how crappy we are now, be mad at the architect of this situation, which is Peterson. Maybe some anger a long time ago might’ve helped bring about change sooner, but the change finally happened, and he’s gone, so there’s not much point now.
