The Morning Fix: Game Day Edition!

Other times the details tell you Barry Richardson is still playing tackle, Matt Cassel struggles under pressure, and already Jonathan Baldwin and Tony Moeaki are injured, so how could you expect more than six wins?

Haley still parlayed his gambles into a 10-6 record following a 4-12 season, a memorable year for the Chiefs but one defined in some ways by his propensity to ignore the usual NFL coach’s approach.

I am concerned. I could care less about the score of the preseason games but what has me worried are all the mental mistakes. Penalties, fumbles and an overall lack of polished football is enough to worry anyone.
