cut darling and sackintosh

add levi jones

and trade for marshall with our 2nd round and 4th round pick

2-14 can’t be turned around in 1 season but 1-15 can?Come on.This team showed less than nothing tonite.3rd. game & it’s supposed to be a tune up,but the car stalled & died.Pioli is known as a great builder.Ha! He builds from the inside out.HA! What the he11 has he done with the o-line but buy 1 & get 1 free.Oh he picked up 55 year old M.Goff.This is pathetic & with ijuries it’s going to be worse.I wonder what Her ehh Haley’s excuses are going to be?Where’s those guys off the street that he can win with?

the guys that bagged on him in the first haft are full of shit…he did great

X-rays on Matt Cassel’s knee came back negative after he left the Chiefs’ preseason game Saturday night with an apparent injury.
Cassel made his way off the field without assistance, but was noticeably limping. His status for the preseason finale is uncertain, and we can probably expect a secretive approach from the Chiefs about Cassel’s Week 1 availability. Kansas City’s new GM, Scott Pioli, hails from the Bill Belichick tree.

Does anyone else think that the keeping up with the camp schedule during the preseason is starting to take a toll on the players? I mean I liked making them work hard but your body does need a rest.

How many starters was KC missing in this game? KC DOES NOT have the talent to have a good game missing that many starters. Of course the team on the field won’t look good, that’s a second string team at a lot of positions.

And give Seattle credit, they are a potential playoff team with a good offense. Chill.

And Succop is fine. He’s a rookie who missed his first kick. ALL kickers miss kicks, this will not be the last one he misses (I’m throwing out the 53 yarder). Chill.

This is a young team, and yeah its not great yet but

Flowers Carr Leggett are all stars in their own right for 2nd year players, they make our corners some of the leagues best

Jackson looked VERY VERY GOOD…he got tired, as he should, but he flashed, many times, and actually ended 3 seattle drives if people look back over it with his hand in the face, a tip, and a sack.

Magee running up the field was impressive, the first team defense was without DJ that REALLY hurt.

Succop was due for a bad miss, also remember, they changed snappers again, that gets confusing and messes things up….the 53 yarder was a nice kick however.

There are times where they look like a real team, the injuries dont help

lets hope cassel is a minor injury, and the right side of the line is figured out at some point.

and a point I forgot to make…the D has kept the score very reasonable for all the turnovers and terrible play offensively…and poor punt return coverage on a 5.25 hangtime 55 yard punt…

They will get there, lovie smith said 2 years for a system that is new to be installed and really have the players Gel

Id say its just too bad to lose a few guys to injury….there were a lot of positives, rewatching the game, I saw Jackson/Magee play well(mostly), flowers obviously had his pick, Belcher looked good, Lawrence,Charles looked good….there are positives

but to have cassel hurt, then to have thigpen squander his opportunity to solidify a nice draft pick…kind of too bad,….

Succop was going to miss, with his leg, its bound to happen, he has better accuracy than janikowski, I still say a lot has to do with the snapper/holder chemistry and timing with succop

The D looks much improved, even though they’re playing in a new system with loads of new players.

The special teams don’t seem much better, which is a disappointment after the emphasis placed on them.

I don’t get the plan for the offense, though. We dumped our best player in exchange for no help this season, and didn’t do much to solve our biggest weakness, the OL. We also brought in a few old WRs. Doesn’t seem to add up— why make the big move for Cassel if you aren’t going to be able to protect him? We seem to be building up the defense from the line first, so why not the offense the same way?

Anyway, it’s only preseason, and lots will change. Hopefully the defense will stay improved though. We seem much faster, stronger and more aggressive on defense.

I thought the 2 new guys on the right side looked decent, not great, but it didnt seem they weren’t being pushed around as much as McSack and Goff, esp on pass plays.

The linebackers I agree were awful except for Vrabel

As they were saying through the NFLN broadcast, the DBs did a horrible job jamming the receivers off the line, they were fully separated in their routes because our DBs weren’t touching them.

Pollard was the worst looking person on the team in my opinion tonight. He had 3 missed tackles that I counted. This guy cannot cover for sh**, and apparently he is afraid of hitting as well. I’ve never been a fan of his, but so far this year he has shown absolutely nothing IMO. I would replace him with Brown or McGraw by game 1.

This is going to be a rough year. I live in Atl so to watch the Chiefs Ive ordered Sunday ticket but am thinking about canceling it. There is not alot to look forward to on this team, our D will probably be in the top 18-25 range which will be better but not really good, and it looks like our offense will not score 2 TDs a game, so is it really worth paying all that money for what could be a 4-12/5-11 team?

is always the same excuse people make to justify a bad showing. The fact of the matter is that this team is just not very good. You can come out with the same sort of argument that vanilla playcalling and not seeing starters all the way through the game doesn’t show a teams real worth, but preseason is still an indicator of how talented a team is. Our first team offense couldn’t do anything, once again. Last year people dragged out the excuse of vanilla playcalling to justify a pitiful offensive showing, and guess what happened in the regular season, they stunk. There are lots of warning signs here people, it’s gonna be a long year.

While I feel as if the team may be headed in the right direction, I am truly confused by a majority of this offseason’s moves. Looking at the draft, there are potentially five players that don’t even make the team. After the trade with the Dolphins, and taking into account a couple of our veteran signings there is a good chance that Brown, Lawrence, Williams, O’Connell, and very well Succop don’t even make it to the final 53. That is just not a way to build a roster. Winners build through the draft is the old mantra, but this team can’t seem to find this sort of balance, especially with Pioli cutting nearly everyone from last year’s class.

Just a few frustrations with the way things are going this offseason. Maybe things will be righted soon, and we can snag a couple of keepers off waivers or other teams’ scraps, but it’s looking like another four win season which shouldn’t fly around here anymore.

have no idea why trading for marshall would be a bad idea

if we can get him for a 2nd and 4th that would be a steal

pick up a lineman first round and maybe second and

we have a solid line with waters albert and the drafted lineman,

bowe and marshall who will relieve pressure from cassel

marshalls just unhappy with his contract and who wouldnt

while white gets a great contract extension, marshalls due to be paid 2 million

trading away your franchise qb for orton wouldnt help

not to mention the broncos stance in his court hearings

why do you think cutler demanded a trade?

mcdaniels cant keep a team thats why

it would be a great move for us to pick him up for some extra picks we have

Pioli would give marshall the deal

and we have two 2nd round picks and two fourth round picks

as i said why not pick up an O lineman with first round pick and maybe with a second

round pick too

I really think we should move him to center keep the one of the guys from mia at RG and put Colin Brown at RT then I think well be fine!! ok now for our recievers… I would cut copper,darling, and johnson and sign Matt Jones and trade for Marshall! SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!

Bowe Engram Toomer Jones And Marshall with lawerence at KR!!

okay ur rite but just like I said earlier did u see that tackle that pollard missed? I think he should habe been put on the third string okay he was our leading tackler last year but i still missed alot of tackles

WE are not that physical at the line on D why do we give the opp team that much room at the line to make a move on us plus 9x out of 10 our corners are toooo short to get with em WE need to stay on the line “Bump and Run” baby

How long does it take these are grown a## men come now they play these teams every couple years I mean thats why they watch film and all that stuff I think coach needs to get tougher with them

I honestly think flowers is the best on the team then varbal Ive seen coach on mic’d up and his press con. but answer this do you think pollard needs to be replace with brown I dont think so but he cannot tackler (pollard) I still think they’ll finish 1st cause I think even though our D isnt all the way yet but have you seen all the other west teams? If we dont bump and run we will get killed those are always going to be 1st downs man what are they thinking?? and when we get to the Qb we need to hit him hard to send a mess to everybody were not playing even if we knock him down dont offer to pick him up or nothing!

everybody looks at us soft!!Agree??

the lb’s dont drop back in coverage enough and the safetys are droppping too far back the recievers are right behind the lbs they need to watch all that film Seattle is not even that good and we made them look like playoff contenders if we play like that we will be in trouble all year

How things can change and still not change.

In my little two cent opinion.. Cassel is over-rated, always has been. Beyond that though, I have said for years and it continues to show, the Offensive line is not working. At this point, even though I think Brian Waters deserves better, it’s time to start the O line from scratch.

new QB, new line. Instead of trying to plug a leaky wall, just build a new wall. so far, every time they try to patch a leak, two new leaks start. just a poorly built wall to begin with.

offensively, everyone and everything looks a little better with a solid O Line to give the offensive some time, some space and some confidence.

Just thinkin out loud.

Big Bear

I think the guys are making progress even though last night seemed like a significant step backward. I just haven’t seen the sort of progress that is going to give us a chance to to win more than a handful of games considering the schedule we have this year. I was thinking 6-10, but after last night, 4-12 seems more appropriate.

I really hope I am wrong, and no matter what I will be rooting them on…but it is frustrating.
