Sure, he’s all yours for now. All the local media types talk about how much more relaxed the Chiefs are this year. And yes, that might not translate to a winning record, but Haley was stubborn enough to cost us a few wins and some injuries (with the way he ran camp last season).

I’ll grade Haley at the end of the season. So far he looks fine. Mean Joe was correct. Plus a more balanced offensive scheme cuts down on QB sacks, something paramount to success this season.

As for the mouth breathers from Cincy and KC, stay out of the Steelers business. Who would take advice from teams with a combined 1 and 3 record in the Superbowl (with the win coming over 40 years ago). Pray for 3rd place in your division because thats where you’ll both be in January.

You guys better hope you don’t have any third and shorts…”ain’t gonna get ‘em”. Todd’s play calling was extremely suspect. I can’t wait to see how Pitt’s leadership deals with some bizarre play calling.

Haley saw firsthand how bad the steelers offense was last year when they barely beat his Tyler Palko led chiefs 13-9. The steelers also stomped that powerhouse Cleveland browns team by the same score.

The bar for improvement is set pretty low.

Anything better than 21st in scoring offense would be fantastic.

From a Chiefs fan, there is no worse red zone play caller than Todd Haley.

The rest of the field aint so great either, but the red zone calls are a joke.

Unfortunately for the Steelers, it’s a passing league now. Teams that run the ball get left in the dust.

This is exactly the tonic needed to get back to the Super Bowl and it is music to the ears of Steeler fans everywhere.

Arians did some good things, but his lack of imagination too often in the Red Zone hurt the Steelers. The others teams often knew the Steelers were passing when they were. Arians had diminished the threat of the run, and without a fullback, it was getting too easy. Then you had some weak spots on the O-line. I can tell you right now, it is going to be far different this year. With the Steelers having
DeCastro-Pouncy-Colon at the G-C-G positions , watch out. Plus, I think Haley will let Ben take the no-huddle to another level. It should be fun and all is needed as the schedule is demanding.

Cincys D line and linebackers are in better shape than the secondary.
They hope the Steelers run the ball. Plus, isn’t Mendenhall banged up?
