Kyle Orton won those games...its too bad Orton got hurt and Haley had to play Palko.
I don't remember the San Francisco 49ers falling off a cliff when Bill Walsh retired. They had a QB.
I don't remember the Denver Broncos falling off a cliff when Dan Reeves was fired. They had a QB
I don't remember the Pittsburgh Steelers dumping seasons after Cowher left.
they had a QB
Yet, I'm to believe that the absence of Todd Haley and Todd Haley alone means that the Chiefs fall to 1-8? This is a team that still doesnt have a QB and now we are seeing what thats like without an elite motivator running the show.
Bullshit.

Call it bullshit all you want, Dane. This team gave much better effort and played with far better energy under Haley because he MADE THEM.
Gyus dotn have to fear him getting in theri face when they **** up nowadays, and look whats happening AT A RECORD PACE....
THE TEAM IS ****ING UP.
In 2011, the Chiefs had 29 turnovers.
Through only 9 games of 2012, the same roster has 30 turnovers.
A similar correlation can be made for penalties and another thing Haley didnt have was nagging "hurts" that got played out like "injuries" like they are nowadays.
Haley gave this team a mental toughness that is sorely lacking without him...its not that surprising that the one game they DID show up was when Haley was across the field.
