Si.COM-Bettis: Don't get too excited about the Chiefs
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...?xid=cbssports
Don't get too excited about the Chiefs. I still think they're a work in progress. Look, they won because of a special teams touchdown, a long run from Jamaal Charles and San Diego turnovers. Offensively, they still have a ways to go. The weather at Arrowhead was a factor, but at the end of the day they just didn't look that great. They're going to be better than last year, but probably just an 8-8 football team. Don't get me wrong. I think their offense could one day be very explosive. I'm looking forward to seeing how Charlie Weis is going to use Dexter McCluster. Seeing how dynamic he was on that 94-yard punt return, you have to wonder how they're going to get this young guy the ball when they also have Charles, Thomas Jones and Dwayne Bowe as prime targets. The only question is if Matt Cassel can play well. We still haven't seen the Patriots' Cassel since he arrived in Kansas City. As for the AFC West, it's still San Diego's division to lose. But Monday gave us a glimpse that they're not runaway favorites. The other three teams are getting closer, even Oakland. A key for the Chargers' hopes is rookie running back Ryan Mathews. He ran well in his debut (despite the 3.9 yards per carry), but he's got to protect the ball better in traffic. Many times rookies have to learn the hard way, and that fumble certainly cost his team. They definitely miss Vincent Jackson as a deep threat. When you look at that game, they didn't go vertical down the field an awful lot until late in the game, when Antonio Gates was being blanketed by two and three defenders. Philip Rivers hit Legedu Naanee a few times, but usually they go for more home runs when Vincent Jackson is in there. I didn't see a lot of that Monday night. |

"As for the AFC West, it's still San Diego's division to lose." If I had a nickel for everytime I've heard this from the national media... BTW, ESPN was saying this today AFTER the Chargers' loss.

Not surprised, the national media loving sucking the teat of San Diego
"Oh they have only lost 1 game in the Month of December, when there is a full moon on Christmas Day, on a leap year, so it's their division to lose." It's never that the Chiefs are playing well, it's that the Chargers aren't playing well enough. |

I recommend a Craftmatic Adjustable bed. When you get that 'V' going, it's decision time.

You don't have to take it to the balls but you will have to finish the yogurt.

I'd wrap it bacon for approx. 20 minutes prior to, man it up a bit. But that's just me.
