Weis stripped of play-calling at half

[mcstl25]

Fescoe is nothing but a moron trying to rile people up for talk radio with controversial speculation. He's never right about anything.

I can vouch for this. Fescoe was an St. Louis on-air personality for a while. Good to see he's gone back to Kansas City, probably after being fired for the third or fourth time.

It was 7-3 Chiefs for the whole 2nd quarter until Baltimore scored with 25 seconds left in the half...

The Chiefs had a nice drive going down to the Baltimore 33 on the opening drive of the 2nd half, and Charles got stuffed on an idiotic 4th and 1 playcall. That play gave Baltimore all the momentum and took the life out of the stadium and out of the players. It was a different ballgame from then on.

K.C. wasn't ready for the next level yet, just be honest.
But they certainly have the pieces in place to take that next step in 2011, barring a lockout.
It will be interesting to see who Haley brings in as OC.

Yeah, they are a young team, but they're not a bad one.

They will probably promote somebody from within or bring in somebody that Haley can influence, which means somebody who isn't a very strong candidate. Haley seems hard to work for, so I don't think guys will be jumping at the opportunity.

KC just got beat by the better team.

Anyone that saw the Raiders beat the shit out of Cassel and the Chiefs a week earlier could see this coming. Cassel holds onto the ball too long and the OLine does not do a great job with pass protection.

The Chiefs D is good but real young, Berry got picked on all game. They will only get better and will definitely be a favorite in the AFC West for years to come, but they exceeded expectations this season and should be happy, they had a great season.

They obviously got beat by the better team, but the gap isn't as big as the scoreboard.

The Chiefs got screwed by Charlie Weis. Anybody who watched the Chiefs all year and then watched them vs. the Raiders and Ravens could tell that Weis checked out after he got the Florida gig. The offense was totally different and totally ineffective.

I mean honestly, people want to make a big deal about Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis, but they BOTH got outschemed by the Ravens' coaching staff.

0 targets at Dwayne Bowe and 9 carries for Jamaal Charles? It's like Weis was trying to lose.

I give Baltimore credit, they did a great job taking Bowe away. Ed Reed played over the top of him for most of the game and took away any ideas of going downfield. But are you telling me they couldn't throw a fucking quick slant to him one time?

And I have no idea how Romeo Crennel doesn't adjust to Todd Heap running the same fucking crossing route all game. It was like a 12 year old using a money play in Madden.

Cassel sucks, but had time to throw against Baltimore...even on his INT's. He just made dumb fuck throws. The Raiders have a much better pass rush than Baltimore.

With all that said, yeah, the Chiefs exceeded expectations of everyone. They got their asses kicked and it should be a valuable learning experience for KC's young players. If the Chiefs could ever get a real QB, they would be a dangerous team.

LOL @ blaming Cassel for the receivers not getting open.. On some plays he had like 5-6 seconds to move around and the only guy who could get any separation was Charles.. It doesn't help that they stopped running the ball after the Charles fumble..

After awhile the offensive line started leaking like crazy and Cassel started getting pounded.. He had no time to throw in the Raider game and got pummeled throughout.. Cassel is the last person to blame for the losses..

This is all about coaching and playcalling.. The Ravens couldn't stop shit in the running game but we stop running the ball? It must be because Matt Cassel isn't a real quarterback...

LOL at you defending a guy who pissed down his leg in the most important game of the year and had the worst QB rating in Chiefs playoff history.

If nobody is open and you have time to throw, scramble or throw the ball away...instead, Cassel made stupid decisions and threw INT's.

If Cassel wants to be a good QB, he needs to be able to perform in the clutch without having to lean on the running game. The Chiefs shut down Ray Rice, and did Flacco crumble under the pressure? No, he made plays.
