The Chiefs and the Raiders aren’t so different this time of year – they’ve both got playoff aspirations with losing records and free agent QBs hoping to lead the way there. The winner of this game effectively eliminates the other from playoff contention. I won’t bore you with the all the exact scenarios that must [...]

Kansas City Chiefs: Orton shaking things up

It hurts now but the playoffs are soon and thats the real season for the Green Bay Packers

I’ll take that bowl of Kyle Orton crow to go, please. About a month ago, I wrote that signing Kyle Orton to the Chiefs was a mistake. I like to think Orton used my column as a nice piece of bulletin board material. I mean, all he did was lead the Chiefs to a victory [...]

Romeo Crennel hadn’t been a head coach since 2008. Lord knows when the last time he received a Gatorade bath. All that changed Sunday when Crennel’s Chiefs took down the undefeated defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers 19-14. In just one afternoon, the Chiefs put their names back in the playoff race, found a quarterback, thrust [...]

They say in dire times, something’s gotta give. In the Kansas City Chiefs’ dire time, head coach Todd Haley was that something. Scott Pioli and the Kansas City front office finally had enough Sunday when the Chiefs fell 37-10 in embarrassing fashion to the New York Jets. The game was over early in the first [...]

Landry Jones

The Chiefs’ football season is rapidly approaching a close, and the playoffs are almost certainly out of the picture for Kansas city. With the excitement of college football also coming sadly to an end, we’re all going to hear about underclassmen declaring for the draft, the combine, and more measurables than a doctor’s office. So [...]

Kansas City beat the Chicago Bears 10-3 Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field. Chicago Bears continue to break down after the loss of Cutler. Matt Forte sprained his knee which certainly didn’t help, and if he doesn’t return, hope of the Bears moving into the playoffs this season will be lost. The rock solid defense looked terrible [...]

Entering Sunday night, if asked which Chief would have the biggest impact on the close 13-9 loss (positive or negative), who would you have guessed? Tyler Palko? Dwayne Bowe? Derrick Johnson? Jackie Battle? Bet you wouldn’t have guessed Romeo Crennel. Looking at individual players, you wouldn’t be far off guessing Bowe or Johnson. Bowe finished [...]

Fallout of Kyle Orton to the Chiefs

Kyle Orton

Losing your starting quarterback is never an easy thing to handle. Peyton Manning and the Colts would argue it comes second only to the apocalypse on their list of worst case scenarios. When you’ve got a team accustomed to losing like the Kansas City Chiefs, the coach’s objective is to keep his team playing as [...]

Chiefs dominated on the road by Patriots on Monday night

Kansas City Chiefs v New England Patriots

Just when it looked like the Kansas City Chiefs might have a shot against the New England Patriots on Monday night, they started playing like the Chiefs again, eventually falling 34-3 to New England. The Patriots returning to form in the second half didn’t help either. With nothing to lose and everything to gain against [...]

Chiefs travel to New England to take on Patriots on Monday night

Tyler Palko

The difficult half of the Kansas City Chiefs’ schedule officially begins Monday night when they travel to Foxboro to take on Tom Brady and the surging New England Patriots. There’s no question that KC’s schedule is a tale of two halves, and the back end is undoubtedly the tougher half. In Kansas City’s first nine [...]
