k that explains that
thought we needed to call in a ambulance and straight jacket

Most ppl thought the chiefs would win the division. .. You can blame pioli for cassel and many of the other players but not for being so bad to be 1 and 8... That is inexcusable. If everybody thought the Chiefs were gonna be good and weren't. . How much of that is really the gms fault

**** this stupid ass article and the person who wrote it

He is the GM.

He picks the players.

He picks the coaches.

He sets the entire offkey tone for the organization.

It is all his ****ing fault.

100 percent of it.

That and Carl never had a five year plan. :)

At the end of the day it comes down to this ^. Too many people try to ignore it and give him a pass for certain things.

This thread needs to be burned with fire.

Not Pioli's fault? Under Pioli:

1. Todd Haley was made head coach for 2.8 seasons before they finally got rid of his ass for failing to do what Edwards and Vermeil were also unable to do with the team, win a playoff game.
2. Matt Cassell was given a 5 year contract for $62 million, and has shown he's not even worth half of that contract. His only credentials was starting 15 regular season games behind the #1 offensive line of the NE Patriots.
3. Dwayne Bowe was made the team franchise player at a yearly salary of $9 million. It wouldn't be so bad if he were more consistent with his catching.
4. Two former Broncos "mediocre" QB's were signed to the team (Kyle Orton late last season, Brady Quinn this season), and neither have performed well.
5. Rick Stanzi has been treated the same way that Matt Blundin was treated in KC when Carl Peterson was GM: tagged as the team's "inactive bench warmer QB."
6. The team so far has had an overall win-loss record of 22-36 since 2009. If you count the losses they had under Herman Edwards as well (final three years of King Carl as GM), the Chiefs have had a total of 69 regular season losses in the last 6.5 seasons. That's an adjusted average of 10.4 losses per year.
7. The current offense has been more than 3 times worse than the Chiefs' offense of the 1990's.

Are the above factors not enough proof that Clark Hunt hired the wrong guy to replace King Carl nearly 4 years ago? At least with team Peterson/Schottenheimer, the Chiefs were making the playoffs several years in a row.

:spock:

Is that what he looks like? I hear this guy on the radio everyweek spouting bs...

Pioli invites some friends over, NSFW...

Adam Schefter made nick his bitch a few years ago over the shanahan thing

dick athan was on 810 this morning talking about how he didn't take SOC seriously until he showed up to the game yesterday...

random note, listening to Herm on 610 have to talk about pioli's failures is always weird...you know he's thinking "I was fired for this clown?"

I'm not going to say it's 100% Pioli's fault because he's not on the field. What I am going to say is the root cause for all our misery is Pioli. Yes, he's the one that obtained many players, including the elephant in the room, the QBs. He's the one that hired 2 train wrecks for HC. He's the one that is responsible for the toxic enviornment at 1 Arrowhead. Whether that's true or not, those stories have kept a lot of agents and their players away from the Chiefs.

Athan on 610 this morning: "The Patriots are success because of Bill Belichick and that's it. Of course they haven't won a Super Bowl without Scott Pioli. What's that say? I'm not sure."

Nobody can talk in a circle quite like nick.
