KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Charlie Weis strode onto the elevator in the press box, his trademark droopy eyes covering his countenance.The Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator was riding down to the locker room after a disappointing playoff performance by his team. Weis may as well have hit ground level and headed right to Gainesville, Fla., because since word broke that Weis will be the University of Florida's offensive coordinator in 2011, the Chiefs offense and quarterback Matt Cassel have really gone south.
That was true in the regular season finale, a loss to Oakland, but it was especially true in Sunday's playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The final score was 30-7. The cause was Kansas City's inability to do much of anything on offense -- except give up sacks, fail to convert a key fourth down and turn the ball over five times. For good measure, they also ignored their most dangerous weapon in the passing game: Dwayne Bowe did not have a single pass thrown his way.
"You have a game like that," said Chiefs coach Todd Haley, "and one of the guys that you've kind of ridden throughout the year appears to be un-involved in the plan. ... We have to do a better job of figuring out ways to get the ball in the hands of our guys that have consistently made plays."
