08:08 AM ET 09.17 | Add Sunday to a list of dispiriting days for Scott Pioli and the Chiefs. Days like this are lonely when you're the king, and maybe he embraced what is obvious to so many others who saw Sunday's loss: that another team he constructed looks lost and unprepared. No injuries and no excuses, no former head coach to blame, and no safety net below the Chiefs' most powerful football man. ... Yes, this game and this season are on Pioli, and there's no denying that anymore. And there's no more denying another truth, whether you're ready to read it or not: The Chiefs will never win big while Pioli is this team's boss. His priorities are too misguided, his insecurities and denial too immense to allow Kansas City's favorite team to win the Super Bowl.

Well, maybe he is more naturally a bottom than a top.

This team has some talent. Unfortunately it's definitely not at QB and they just don't look prepared to play.

Never say Never but in this case an exception SHOULD be made!

It's two games into the season, but Blabb must be looking at the next four games which show likely losses. That's a tough schedule until 10/28.

Another team that figures not to figure.

Actually the Chiefs will never win without a suitable QB at the helm....

Only time will tell the Story!!!!

Matt Cassel.. HA! One good year with the Pats and all downhill from there.

Never? Not at all. It is the mission of the NFL to see that as time goes by they do whatever must be done to make every team appear competent and a playoff team once in a while. If scheduling and draft picks are not enough, then in time more will be added to equation. Anything to reward failure.

When people leave Belichick they totally fall apart.

Scott always looked like a bicycle seat sniffer to me.

Careful, they used to say the same thing about Alex Smith. Get the guy in the right situation, like he had in NE, and he can succeed.

Trade for Matt Flynn.
