It appears he has done this in Kansas City

Villagers were later examined and experts found the rate of infection fell to 0.7 percent from 11.3 percent in one village, while the rate fell to 0.9 percent from 4 percent in another. Confusion is never an emotion that a head football coach wants to inspire in his players or his team's fans.This Sunday as the Chiefs were in the process of losing to the Buffalo Bills 16-10, confusion about the Chiefs' offensive philosophy and identity was as apparent on the sidelines as it was in the stands.And by stands I mean, the 30,000 people who saw Sunday's debacle.Unfortunately, the only people in Arrowhead who did not appear to be confused about the Chiefs' offense were the Buffalo Bills' defenders who were dialed in on key plays throughout the game, including a critical stop at the goalline on fourth down.The Chiefs ran a naked bootleg with Matt Cassel on that play that failed to fake any of the Bills' defenders. Cassel was sacked and with it an opportunity at seven points that would have won the game.You could recite a litany of strange fourth-down decisions made by Todd Haley this season. The fake punt onfourth down against Denver last week though is nothing compared with Haley's decisions on Sunday in two near identical situations in the Red Zone to go for it on fourth-down once and then to kick it the second time.The problem with these spin-the-bottle type play-calls is simple. They are inconsistent. Inconsistency leads to confusion and to a lack of direction. These are not good traits for a professional football organization. To be honest, they are not even really good traits for anintramural flag football team to have.Three quarters of the way into the regular season the Chiefs' offense lacks identity in almost every aspect of the game. Todd Haley's play-calling, the fourth-down calls being an excellent example of this, have contributed largely to this overall malaise.Haley's play calling seems to have no reason or philosophy behind it. If he wants to be a pro-version of Texas Tech's Mike Leach and go for it on practically every fourth down then do it. If he wants to be conservative and take points when they come available then fine. Just pick an identity and build from it. Maybe players then players will grow confidence in themselves and their coach's ability. Todd Haley seems overwhelmed by the head coach position. Haley is a confident person and sometimes confident people bite off more than they can chew. It appears he has done this in Kansas City.By being head coach, quarterbacks coach and a play-calling offensive coordinator, Haley and his team are coming off as frazzled at best.The last eight minutes of Sunday's game against Buffalo is an excellent example of this. During that time Kansas City had two huge dropped passes, two interceptions, two holding penalties and three receivers failing to get out of bounds when the Chiefs were desperate to save clock.Haley got his start in the NFL being a wide receiver's coach. The Chiefs' wide receivers have led the NFL in drops this year.Haley got the Chiefs head coaching job partly based on his play calling abilities with the Arizona Cardinals. The Chiefs play calling this year, as already noted, has been a mess.I don't think Haley should necessarily be fired after this season, but changes are in order. To start, it would make sense to hire an offensive coordinator who can give the team an identity to build around and free up Todd Haley to perform the duties of head coach. Charlie Weis would be a good man for the job, but there are others out there who could do better than the status quo.. Certain things remind you of your friends and the great times you have shared with them. A concert. A party. A trip. Your favorite watering hole. For me and one of my best friends, it was and still is the Cleveland Browns-Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry. Everyone has ups and downs in their lives. We both loved the Bruins, but football is where the lines in the sand were drawn. I have always been a Patriots fan,

but I had a football mistress on the side. The Cleveland Browns. I began following them during their glory years in the mid to late 80’s. They were always the brides maids when they lost to Denver in the AFC Championship in ’86, ’87, and ’89. I loved Bernie Kosar, Clay Matthews, and the Dawg Pound. I was probably the only kid in NewEngland to have a Browns hat and jacket.

I wore it with pride. My buddy, MM, was a die-hard Steelers fan since birth I think. He owned a Bubby Brister jersey (still asking myself why) and later Hines Ward. He ate, drank, and breathed Steelers. There was no hometown allegiance to the Patriots for MM. Since the age of 17(we are now both 36), our friendship and the rivalry grew. Phone calls taunting each other (no email back in the day). When video games like Tecmo Bowl and Madden came along, you guessed it, he was Pittsburgh and I was Cleveland. And just like the real rivalry, the Steelers usually won. I sent MM a Rod Woodson card with a band aid on it when the star defensive back was lost for the season. Art Modell moved the historic franchise to Baltimore and they became the Ravens. With no Browns to cheer on, I still hated the Steelers. I rooted on the Patriots to beat Pittsburgh. I tried to talk smack to MM. However, it just wasn’t the same. Then in 1999, game on! The Browns were given an expansion franchise and the Dawg Pound was reborn. Cleveland actually edged out New England for the wildcard as well.

Just not the Pats year. All my playoff energies were focused on my football mistress, the Cleveland Browns and their matchup against MM’s Steelers. My girlfriend at the time and I made the two hour drive to Ossipee NH (aka Steelers country), to watch this epic battle. I had my Kevin Johnson jersey on and was ready to do battle with MM. The game couldn’t have started any better for the Browns. Kelly Holcomb hit my boy, Kevin Johnson for an 83 yard bomb which set up ex-BC Eagle, William Green for a touchdown. The Browns were up 7-0 IN PITTSBURGH! They built a 17-7 half time lead IN PITTSBURGH! My buddy, MM was disgusted and was throwing half full beer cans at me. I was loving life. This was like the Sox beating the Yanks or the Bruins beating the hated Canadiens. The Browns kept up the pressure in the second half. Kelly “Holy Crap He’s Good” Holcomb hit Dennis Northcutt for a 24-7 lead. The Browns, yes the Cleveland “freaking" Browns were DOMINATING the Steelers IN PITTSBURGH! Then it happened. The voodoo. The black cat. The upside down horse shoe. MM’s son came home dressed in brown!! The kid knows a winner when he sees one! MM changed his son into Steelers colors and something just felt “different” in the air. Pittsburgh quarterback, Tommy Maddox caught fire.
