Open Mic Night

by Chiefs

Source: http://mikeswritingworkshop.blogspot.com

The divisional round of the playoffs is over, the Patriots lost to the Jets, the Bears are a game away from the big game, and the Chiefs still do not have an offensive coordinator.  Exactly how everyone predicted it, right?

The NFL season may still be continuing, but unfortunately not for the Kansas City Chiefs.  Here are AA we continue to push forward to think about the off season, and the often spoke of “next year” for our favorite team.  Big Matt put out his end of year grading of the Chiefs defense, while Victor seems to be stuck in the hallucinatory “seeing them everywhere” phase of post season heartbreak.  I took a look into the possibilities that come with the issue of re-seeding the playoffs, and Merlin posted his end of year draft needs review.  All in all we covered a lot of ground this week, and there is still much to discuss.

According to a report by Patrick earlier today, it appears that offensive coordinator or no, Todd Haley will be the play caller for the Chiefs offense next year, and I’m sure that is setting some people’s hair on fire.  Meanwhile there are contract negotiations going on between Scott Pioli and Tamba Hali.  I hope they can come to an agreement that is good for both sides.  To boot, we still do not know if there is even going to be a season next year with no CBA reached yet between the players and the owners.  So, there is lots of fuel for the fire, and with that said I am leaving the stage open for you Addicts out there.  Have a great night.

Until there is a CBA the Chiefs are not going after any "big name" guys. They have to sign their free agents and will delay it so the signing bonus is un-necessary for a lockout season. I wish some would get over "sign Fitz" NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Pioli want at least 2 more years to build, translates to DON'T NEED BIG DOLLAR FREE AGENT until team is complete. Haley had success with Fitz, but do either want to play with each other again, "gee, I wish it would happen" doesn't get it done. Haley has no OC, that seems to be occupying the process right now. Since Pioli got here what "big name" free agent has scotty signed? Traded for Cassel, anyone else?

So let's make a play for Fitzgerald. I can see the Chiefs letting go of their first round pick and a player...say Glenn Dorsey who would solid up Arizonas D front...they need it and have LF sign to a long term deal. If Im not mistaken TG is a free agent so I say come home brother....we matched Atl playoff appearances and wins while you were gone. OK maybe a pipe dream but could you imagine JC and TJ at RB...D Bowe and Larry Fitz at WR...DMC at the slot and the Tonys at TE? Who cares who the OC is with that...get it done

It wouldnt matter who the chiefs got for offensive cooridnator,Haley would over rule them.he wont be able to blame anybody but himself next year.if the chiefs fall apart because of his play calling,then send him a packing.i just think this is a big mistake.yes he done good in arizona,but they had a warner,fitzgerald and bouldin to make life easier.
