The team formerly known as the Kansas City Chiefs
The season is done. A record of 2-14 leaves the fans in KC wondering where in the hell this football team went. What happened to my team? I don’t want football at Arrowhead stadium to become nothing more than a ritual of drinking beer, eating tasty BBQ, and then watch a football team get embarrassed week after week. That doesn’t cut it with me and it doesn’t cut it with any fan of the game.
Carl is out as GM, what now? I have little faith in the ability of Clark Hunt to lead this team in the direction with the spirit and leadership his father showed decades ago. The Hunt legacy continues in KC with a team and coaching staff who are lost.
The Chiefs lost their last 9 games of the 2007 season, only to lose 14 more this year. How can this city survive another rebuilding year or another youth movement? It’s getting old, the players don’t want it and the fans are sick of it. You can’t blame everything on draft picks, yeah Ryan Sims was a terd, but we move on ok? As a unit, nothing clicks with this team anymore. Internally, the pot has been boiling over all season. Clark Hunt specifically made mention that the 2008 season needed to be a playoff berth season and that he expected to see visible progress. Well, Carl’s head didn’t exactly roll, it was escorted out of the building on a platter at the end of the season. We still get to watch Herm Edwards act like a condescending jerk during press conferences while spewing out his narrow minded perception of why the team fails.
The quarterback situation was (is) a friggin merry go round, however, Thigpen looked promising as a late season scrambler and adjusting to a more spread offense. All in all, the offensive line is made of pillows and the loss of Jared Allen on defense was felt all year. Thank you Carl for taking a big smelly dump on the NFL’s leading sacker and forcing him to do what no other has done- stand up to you and leave town! The Chiefs paid big time, 10 sacks recorded on the season, a new NFL low.
I guess mediocre performance is accepted in the Chiefs organization…but not elsewhere. Crennel is fired as Brown’s coach after a 4-12 season, they have sucked and lost 10 games in five of the last six seasons, and he was a first time head coach, he had it coming. Mangini fired as Jets coach, they start the year 8-3 and it looked like Favre will take this team to the big game, but fail to make playoffs. A couples of years back they called him “Mangenius” for pulling the team back together again. They were 23-26 under him which is not great, but not horrible, he still gets the axe. As we speak, Wade Phillips is probably updating his resume in Dallas from yesterday’s performance. These are much better teams who have much higher expectations of their coaching staffs!
But not in KC! Yippey kai yeee haw no way. Herm is probably on a much needed vacation, or he’s quietly reviewing films in his office easy chair while thoughts of 2009 sugar plums dance in his head. Humbug! The Chiefs are 6-26 under Herm Edwards the last two seasons and he still has the audacity to say he’s upset and this is still his team? No it’s not. Where are the owners? Where’s the organization stepping in saying enough is enough? Poor job performance typically means grounds for improvement or dismissal. The team has gone from 9-7 to flat out suck. Other organizations make moves to improve their team, while the Chiefs front office keeps the good ole’ boy network fully intact at the same time producing a horrible football team. The time of hiding behind the hope of young players is gone, no more rebuilding, no more 5 year plans. Stop this downward slide NOW !!!!!!!
