How do you lose a football game to a team who's quarterback completed seven passes? SEVEN! I nearly climbed out of my skin when Haley went to the Marty prevent defense during the last 2 minutes of the game. The thing that kept Russell off his meager game was the blitz, and you stop doing that during the last 2 minutes? Come on Todd, you're a bossy, a-hole jerk, don't add pussy to the list!
I think Cassell showed some promise. Sure he threw a couple of interceptions, Brett Favre throws 2-5 per game. I blame some of his problems on the fact that he is always on the run because the line is pretty darn iffy. There can be no down field threat when the QB has 2 seconds to get rid of the ball, no one is that fast.
I think the team was in much worse shape then we were led to believe by the past regime. When you cut 31 of last years 53 man roster and 3 of them get NFL jobs things are bad, really bad. It takes more than a new QB to fix that kind of bad. It also takes much more than a tough guy attitude from the head coach. For one, you have to manage the clock better than he did in the last few seconds of the first half of the Raiders game. Secondly, his proving he is the king dick of the school yard by keeping some of the best players on the bench (Derrick Johnson), during what turned out to be the winning drive by the Raiders, is just a silly.
Here's to 15 more weeks of very painful growing pains with the Kansas City Chiefs. Thank goodness for fantasy football.
It is not going to be as painful as it was with Todd Blackledge. Nothing could be more painful than him taking a snap.
