OK, I know, the Cowboys are not very good, and they had a couple of key injuries, but the Chiefs actually looked like a team just a few players away from being a winner. Dorsey, Mayes, Flowers, Hali, Waters, Bowe and Cassell all looked like legit winning team NFL players. With a better line Johnson is a keeper plus Wade and Ryan look to be good steady starters. It's not yet a winning combo but it is a core to start from.
I think Haley has mellowed just a bit and is starting to find his groove in the head coach job. I still wish he had an offensive coordinator on his staff, but that might happen for next year. I think if he and Gailey were not on the same page it was best for the team to let him go. I will note that the four teams who got rid of their offensive coordinators in the pre-season have not done too well so far.
It makes me sick to think of all the talent the Chiefs let go in the past few years, Jerrod Allen being the most painful. I do think the Pioli/Haley regime will at least be better judges of talent than Carl and Herm. Even though they seem to be a bit on the egomaniac side ,I think they pale compared to King Carl. I hope they never loose a good player because they want to prove how hard they are, like Carl did several times in the past.
It was nice to be watching a game and have the Chiefs still in it a the end, even forcing over-time. I hope we will be watching them win a few soon. I think it would to a world of good for the Haley lead team to win one under his system.
On a interesting fantasy note, I would have scored more points starting Cassell over Flacco the past two weeks. Each week two touchdowns and no pics. And if Cassell had the Ravens line and Defense....
