Chiefs DVOA Analysis: Week 10

Thanks Big Matt. And the sad thing is, I wish right now I could instead be saying the Chiefs proved me wrong. I did hear about that radio show - is that something I can still link and listen to?

@Double D I think so just scroll through the older posts and find the link to it.

@LyleGraversen Yeah, I guess it has to come back to Haley. A consistent trend is misuse, in my opinion, of the run game, whether Weis was OC or Muir. I know we had a #1 rushing attack last year, but I think it could have been better. I always feel the offense puts too much trust in Cassel and the pass, whether JC is healthy or not. Maybe they were running at RT to try to keep the end from beating BRich to quickly on passing downs? Good lord, if Gaither is alive why is he not in??!!

I agree. Bring in Gaither and anyone else who can fog a mirror. Powe, Houston, Stanzi et.al. I am just like all the rest in the Chiefs Nation. This Haley/ Cassel experiment has run it's course. Look at the teams who take five years to bring along a QB. They end up on the scrap heap and the team has to start all over again. Look at the Jets as an example. I think it is obvious that Ryan has lost all faith in the # five pick from three years ago. Sanchez has regressed from his first year. The Jets had one of the top defenses in the NFL, so that masked some of his deficiencies. Now that the defense is not as good, it is showing in the loss column. Go back and see where Matt Cassel is in his maturation as a QB. He has absolutely regressed. He could be a competent back-up in KC, but his starting days should be over. Just another example of the Chiefs not having reliable back-ups on the roster. We are at six and counting on the IR. Pretty soon they will be following the lead of Dick Vermiel when he coached the Eagles like 35 years ago, and had open tryouts. Come one, come all. Yeah, and how did that work out?
