After back-to-back losses to two of the (arguably) worst teams in the NFL, it’s time the Kansas City Chiefs start seriously evaluating the quarterback position. Cassel’s stats aren’t awful. Frankly, he had a far above average year in 2010. Under Charlie Weis, he was arguably as important to the Chiefs as Jamaal Charles. But it [...]
Just when it looked like the season couldn’t get any worse for the Kansas City Chiefs after a loss to Miami, they followed up with a home loss to the Denver Broncos and Tim Tebow’s whopping two completions. The Chiefs allowed Denver to control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball all [...]
The Chiefs have a shot at redemption after perhaps their worst loss of the year to the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. The Broncos on the other hand, are coming off a high point of the season defeating the AFC West leaders in the Oakland Raiders. Denver still holds last place in the division, while Kansas [...]
Remember when the Kansas City Chiefs were the worst team in the NFL? Neither do they. And Philip Rivers sure doesn’t. After three ugly losses, Kansas City has suddenly rode a four game-winning streak to a 4-3 record and tie for the lead in the AFC West. The latest victim of that streak was San [...]
The fact that we have the term “Andrew Luck Sweepstakes” speaks volumes to the kid’s potential as an NFL quarterback. Luck has all the tools – the arm, the size, the accuracy, the smarts, Steve Young like mobility – and he can apparently catch the ball too. There are only a handful of teams that [...]
In the battle of who wanted to lose the game more, the Chiefs finally came out on top. As I predicted, the Chargers underperformed massively but still ended up on top. It’s hard not to win when your opponent can’t manage 50 yards of offense in the first half. Any Chiefs player will tell you [...]
Kansas City looks to avoid a 0-3 start as they open AFC West play with the season’s second road test against the San Diego Chargers Sunday. The Chiefs seem ages behind where they were just one season ago when they began 3-0. After losing Jamaal Charles, the Chiefs actually seem closer to 2009 when they [...]
Loyal Chiefs fans of little faith, now is the time to count your blessings, not your woes. Success of a football team starts at the top, and Scott Pioli is among the elite general managers. There’s no denying Kansas City’s upswing he brought after ending the Herm Edwards era, even if it only lasted for [...]
It appeared the sun had set on the Chiefs season in week one, but it was only dusk. Things could still get much worse – and they did. After a crushing loss to Buffalo just one week ago, the Chiefs began circling the drain shortly after kickoff against the Lions in Detroit. Todd Haley elected [...]
With an opening loss to Buffalo, the Chiefs travel to Detroit Sunday with nowhere to go but up. Not much good came from Kansas City’s opening loss. They showed inability to run the ball with only 108 yards in week one after averaging over 160 yards on the ground last season. The sputtering start to [...]
