with our defense. Not right now anyway. We’re a bit of a mess on the defensive line.

Honestly, yes our offense is that bad. But I do agree with Guru – it’s the AFC West and hopefully, hopefully this team gets jacked up to go to Invesco.

But I think I’ll be traveling then so I doubt it. But I will try.

The Chiefs are still going to give LJ the ball as much as possible. The thing is, we’re just a terrible team that gets behind quickly and has to pass the ball a lot.

Tyler Thigpen probably gives us the best chance right now. The Chiefs QB needs that mobility to scramble away from the inevitable pass rush.

Here goes: Herm Edwards is a stubborn head coach who may end up consistently winning someday if he gets the exact, precise personnel his football strategy requires. There’s a lot of ways I could have taken that.

Huard will be starting against Denver this weekend. That is what I heard on the radio on my way to work this morning at least.

Still too early to tell on the rebuilding. I’m wavering around the 50% mark on whether or not this is going to work.

The secondary is young and definitely looks good for the future. Our young runners Kolby Smith and Jamaal Charles are solid too. Those are the most stable positions right now.

Yes. We will win at least three games.

The Broncos have stayed focused on the lines as the foundation of a good team and the Chiefs haven’t. Your front office is smarter than ours.

I am very curious about this legendary draft the Chiefs had. Naturally nobody expects it to take over the team immediately, but what’s the buzz?

It’s not that they’re not looking good it’s that they haven’t made a huge splash like Dwayne Bowe did last year. That’s no knock on Dorsey or Albert. It’s just the reality of starting your fourth game in the NFL.

It’s in his contract and it appears he will honor that contract.

Take Gunther. I’m frustrated with him over the last few years. We’re getting the ball crammed down our throat.

1. We do not have the future QB on our roster now. Croyle is far too injury prone. We need to start the search over again.

2. LJ’s days as a work horse aren’t numbered per se but he will lose a couple of carries each game to Charles. Charles is simply too good to not use as a counter to LJ’s style.

3. We hope we have some potential with our young wide receivers. Those of us who are MU fans like WIll Franklin a lot but we haven’t really seen him on the field yet. There is a hope we can step up but our depth at receiver is really very shallow.

4. The defense isn’t that good. Yet. We’re still figuring out how to replace Jared Allen (which we really can’t do) and the defensive line is very young as well. I think everyone loved Glenn Dorsey coming out of college and you’d think he improves the squad drastically in a year or two as he develops.

But I’m not sure what the Chiefs are thinking. First round QB picks scare me to death.

Stafford, of course. I don’t know why people think Tebow’s game translates to the NFL.

3 games in he looks fine. DTs don’t traditionally hit their stride until year 2 or 3.

I’ve heard a couple of calls for fan boycotts/silent protests/etc. I don’t think they’ll happen. After all, people would love to see Tony G. break the TE yardage record against Denver.

As for scoring against the Broncos’ D: we might score a little bit more than we have been, but I’m sure it won’t be enough. We might have a shot at breaking 20 points, but the way our D has been playing, you guys will probably have that many points sometime in the second quarter.

Thanks for doing this. It is nice to hear what is going on with a division rival. Let’s hope Sunday’s game is a healthy one.

Not at all.

Especailly a run against Denver in 1981 at KC, Denver down 21-14 needing the win and had KC down to 3rd and 10 and Delaney goes for 82 yards to finish off Denver. Was a great guy who dove into the water to save the 3 kids, and Joe didnt know how to swim. He was a true hero

Joe Delaney’s death and, of course, Thomas’. Both class people. I also got to witness all the others play.

I watched the Packers beat the Chiefs 35-10 in the Super Bowl after the 1966 season and then come back and blow out the Vikings 23-7 in the 1969 Super Bowl.

Besides Lenny Dawson in those years, I had the privilege (but not much fun at times) of seeing Otis Taylor and Mike Garrett, and you had a pretty good TE in the name of Fred Arbanas back then.

Oh, them was the good ol’ days . . . I’m glad they’re gone.

LJ would have to hit 100. No devastating turnovers from Huard/Thigpen.

With your offense, we would really, really need to slow the game down and play it on our terms.

Our secondary is sharp but your passing attack is pretty unreal so that’s tough.

So…a LOT would have to go right. Chris is traveling for the next couple days but keep posting here and I, or some of the other AP guys that have already been around here will take care of them.

24 points?!

Don’t give us too much credit :)

Our defense really does suck….

Consider it done, sir. :)

Besides, the Northwest is harmless. Ask the Trailblazers :)

Here is a good link for that question.

The ‘X-Factor’ and another guy that wears the opposing team’s jersey with arrows pinned all over him.

Maybe resign him to a low, low deal and relegate him to the backup or third stringer role. He knows the system so thats the only advantage he has.

Or we won’t resign him and be done with it.

Either way, I believe Croyle is done in KC regardless of his play when he gets back.

As tough as it is to find and develop a decent QB, I think there’s a good chance he stays on the team for another year or two. I also secretly hope Brodie can still be our guy. Cat’s out of the bag.

He is like a human question mark. Does he EVER know what is going on? OR what he is gonna do?

Good point. Well, Head coach Herm is a nice guy and defensive minded. His players have developed a reputation for being injured, so maybe MASH tents will start showing up at tailgating. Herm wanted the potent offense he inherited to play keep-away more and not score so fast. He also stated that scoring above 20 points or so was for the arena league. The offense deteriorated due more to aging personnel, but also, imho, due to an over-riding tone that called for more possessing and less scoring. That’ll fire up an offense, won’t it?

New OC Chan Gailey’s rep is the ability to build an offensive scheme around the players he’s got. So it will be hard for the offense to develop an identity. Coaches would like to have a strong running game, but the O line just did not get addressed adequately in the last draft. Our three third-round picks (S Morgan, TE Cottam, RB Charles) may have been the best players available, but they’re putting in a lot of bench time because we’ve got players at their positions already. Bowe will probably be the face of the offense moving forward as much as anyone. Screens used to be for the Chiefs what bootlegs were for the Broncos. But the offense is simply inept at this point. It will get better over the course of the year. And LT Albert is doing very well, much like Clady.

The roots for future identity probably lie in our defensive backs. Flowers and Carr and going to be terrific CBs. Both coverage and tackling. Pollard and Page seem to be getting better at tackling from the safety position, although they both like to think they can deliver a blow with their shoulder alone that will knock down an NFL running back. The D line, while getting pushed around so far this year, has some potential. Considering the years of experience from left to right are Turk (1), Tank (1), Dorsey (0) and Hali (2) they could develop into a good line in another year or two. Hopes for Dorsey are high, but realistically he’ll need a year to learn and develop. LB Derrick Johnson had people’s hopes up this year, but whether it’s due to poor supporting cast or what, he’s been just okay. Gunther took over as LB coach this year and I’m not totally sure it’s been a good thing. He screams a good game. But the linebackers have been the weak link in the defensive chain. As well as the lack of an elite pass rusher this year.

Can we just smear BBQ sauce on the field for the remaining home games and sell the naming rights for every five-yard section? The KC Ribs. There’s an identity.

Simply because Tyler Thigpen is so ineffective that he could stunt the growth of the rest of the team. QB is the only position on the field that has such a colossal impact on every other position.

Huard was “dinged” in the neck in the Raiders game…although that’s about all we heard about it. He is starting on Sunday.

It would be very hard to see Tony G end his career in any other uniform. More than many places, Arrowhead has somewhat of a college atmosphere. Part of that stems from loyalty, imho. If the players become totally interchangeable parts for 32 general managers, what are you a fan of any more? Just the tailgating? The building? The french fried uniforms?

Will it get to the point that you just buy one team jersey that has a velcro stripe on the back because you know that the name on it will be gone soon? Tony’s character, excellence and length of service make him one of the few players you can call a Chief right now (along with G Brian Waters). The NFL is built on fan loyalty. How many people in Los Angeles would pay to see the Seahawks and Broncos play a game in the Coliseum? They can’t even build a fan base in LA, much less get people to watch two teams they don’t care about.

I’d say the majority of those who favor trading Tony are actually doing it out of loyalty to Tony. They want to see him get a ring, and if that means with another team, so be it. Now, if it weren’t for cap problems, I personally would trade Larry Johnson in a heartbeat. But that’s not going to happen.

While we’re in the process of selling the naming rights for Arrowhead, please don’t start any rumors about the golden arches. The state of Missouri has one arch already, which is plenty. And I don’t think KC Wolf and Ronald would necessarily hit it off in the mascot locker room.
