so how bout now? Now you guys ready?

I don't see it working either. B-ball would have to compete with the Jayhawks, and KC and Lawrence are about as loyal to the hawks as much as almost any NBA team. And I can't see the NHL succeeding here either.

Kansas City is also exploring the possibility of adding an NBA or NHL franchise. they are building this new arena downtown, that should be ready sometime next year I believe. They would love to bring in another sports franchise. Except the last two experiments (NBA Kings, and NHL Scouts) were both failures in KC...

Collins isn't starting. It was Vermeil that suggested that. The only reason that there's a question is because trent Green's father died last week, and the funeral was Wednesday. The funeral was Wednesday, and green was back with the team and at practice yesterday.

That seems to be the weakest link for the Chiefs as well. We have had some quality play out of our ends at times, but we just don't have any push up the middle. Ryan Sims got hurt in week 1, but I'm not sure how much he would have helped. He has never played up to expectations, even though everyone and their brother was praising him during the pre-season. The rest of the DTs have just been blah, outside of maybe John Browning who has also had some injury problems.

Really? Cause I know you guys were stout against the run last year, and then the beginnign of this year it just seemed anyone could run on you. Are you seeing improvements since the beginning of the season? Also of not is that Willie Roaf has now been downgraded to questionable for this week's game against the Raiders...

not fair, that would be a significant distraction to our defensive players :mad:

I was skeptical about going to buffalo, but after hanging out here the last couple days, I'm really starting to feel better about this matchup. Since the guys here are the guys that watch the games week in and week out, I have no problem deferring to them on the matter.

ouch

Thanks Here's something I posted at chiefsplanet. I was reserved in posting it here, just because I thought it might come across as arrogant and cocky. But after hangin out here the last couple days, I've realized that you guys are down on your team just as much as anybody else, and realize the Chiefs actually probably should win next week's game. So, here it is: Saying Losman and Holcombe both suck probably wasn't fair. I guess maybe you could say that about Holcombe, as he's been a career journeyman, but it's definitely not fair to say that about JP. He's been thrown to the wolves, and the O-Line has not played that well for you guys, making it that much worse on JP. He very well could develop into a decent QB in this league, but as for the moment he still has a lot of room for improvement.

they've got @ Bal, Ind, Bal, @ Pit, Cle, @ Det, Buf, and KC They have played two tough teams and lost both. I think they will be exposed playing a much tougher schedule in the 2nd half.

3 winnable games in Oak, Buf and Houston. Just can't screw any of them up. Win all 3, and we're 7-4 and likely only needing 3 more games for a WC. With 4 home games after that, it's very feasible.

Yeah, Denver's schedule gets a little tougher from here on out. You guys can really do us a favor on Dec. 17 @ Oak NYJ @ Dal @ KC Bal @ Buf Oak @ SD

Like I said in the post before, I have faith in Surtain and Eric Warfield (who was suspended for the first 4 games remember, and then didn't dress in the 5th), and our safeties are pretty good as well (Sammy Knight, Greg Wesley, Jerome Woods). I think you can say with confidence that our problem in the passing game has been getting pressure on the QB. When we pressure the QB we win, when we don't we have lost.

Yeah, they haven't exactly lived up to all the hype. We're getting beat through the air, but I firmly believe that has been a result of a lack of pass rush, as oppossed to personnell issues in the secondary. When our D-Line plays well we win, and when the D-Line plays sh------- we lose. It's really as simple as that. Our run D is much improved. I credit that to having more talent and speed at LB this year. Kawika Mitchell is playing well in the middle, and Derrick Johnson and Kendrell Bell have shown flashes on the outside. We definitely have a lot more speed in the LBs than we did in years past. Which really might not bode well for you guys. Teams have beat us this year through the air. If we can step up and slow down McGahee, I'm not sure a guy like Holcombe or Losman is capable of beating us, like guys like McNabb/ Plummer/ or Brees can! I'm not sure about Priest. They said early on he'd be fine, but now there is some concern. We're not too concerned as fans though, just because we do have faith in LJ. You guys should be able to get a better feel this week though when we play the Raiders.

That, and after a loss you're always lookign forward to the next game to forget about that loss. Unfortunately, you guys get an extra week to think about it

I guess I watched it, I was just too depressed about the Chiefs loss that most of it probably didn't seek in! After looking at the standings though, you guys are really in pretty good shape. Yeah, you're 0-3 against the NFC, but who cares? Your division record is pretty good at 2-1 and you're 3-2 in the AFC. Also interesting is that you are winless on the road, and 3-1 at home. What's up with that? And if the Pats lose this week to Indy, they'll have just as many losses as you guys do!

yeah, I've been here 2 secs and I'm already tired of hearing about the guy

I know we've got a real big game this week first against the hated Raiders, but next week's game against you guys is going to be huge as well! Both our divisions really seem up in the air right now, and I think it's probably safe to say every team in both division's has a chance to either win the division title or possibly a wild card berth! If you're looking for a chiefs site to hang out at in the meantime, the place to be is: www.chiefsplanet.com I remember the last time we played you guys! I believe it may have been a Sunday Night if I remember correctly. I know I was there, sitting up in the top around quite a few Bills fans. They got awfully quiet around halftime But next week's game is huge, especially with Denver's lead. If we can beat the Raider's, we'll be 5-3 with a 2-2 division record. Not spectacular, but both Denver and SD now have to travel to our house. If we lose this week against Oakland, we'll be 4-4 and fighting for our playoff lives! The Chiefs really need to beat Oakland this week, then need to win 2 big games on the road after that (Buffalo and Houston). If they can pull that off, they'll be 7-3 with a good shot at the playoffs. From there it gets much tougher (NE, Den, @ Dal, @ NYG, SD, Cin). So these next three games are critical. And I'm sure next week's game probably means as much to the Bills as it will the Chiefs. Good luck to you guys though, and once we get the Raiders out of the way I'll be back to chat a little more. Peace.
