This year's Chiefs offense might be THE WORST Chiefs offense in FRANCHISE HISTORY.

We're currently ranked 30th in points and 28th in yards.

The only offense in team history that approaches that ineptitude is Marv Levy's 1979 attack, featuring the 27th ranked offense that was 26th in points. This was in a 28-team league, however, but in defense of Marv Levy, he had a pretty good running game.

The 1979 Chiefs scored 25 touchdowns. The 2007 Chiefs currently have 16. I doubt we score 9 touchdowns in the last 4 games. Pathetic.

Perhaps some folks who sat through the 80's can compare this offense to the days of Kenney and Gansz?

No point in examining suck. It's just suck...

Favre never won at Arrowhead check

Norv (pizza face )Turner never won at Arrowhead chek

All three division teams (in the same year) never won at Arrowhead check since 1977

Herm Edwards wrecks the best home field advantage in the nfl check

So yes this just adds to the Herm Edwards era in Chiefs History

Don't forget our home record at Arrowhead in December.Was 15-0, under Edwards, 15-2, soon to be 15-3.

Bill Kenney's first appearance was the second half of a game we were getting blown out in. He almost single handedly pulled out the win, it was against Cleveland or Cincinatti IIRC.

Ganz became head coach only because the players loved him. His special teams had gotten the Chiefs into the playoffs, mainly because of Albert Lewis's blocked punts IIRC. Ganz was totally lost as head coach, and the team followed suit.

I may be wrong about this, Mr. HemiEd, but wasn't Gansz's first year the strike year? And he was canned when Carl took over?

It is funny how the memory plays tricks on you when you get old Mr. Fax. For some reason, I thought Ganz was let go before Carl was hired, but maybe Carl did do the deed.
I do not remember what year they had the strike, but it sounds about right. I know, that even with my lack of football knowledge, it was apparant Ganz was over his head. I was wishing for Mackovic to return.

Kenney sucked. He went no where after being cut by the Chiefs.

After the Chiefs made their first appearance in the playoffs in over 15 years, a player revolt led by Nick Lowery ensued. Nick and pals convinced Steadman to fire Mackovic and hire Ganz.

Once that happened, the Chiefs posted a couple of three win seasons.

Thanks, Nick.

Carl took a week to evaluate Ganz, then fired him. Carl also wanted Dick Vermeil as the head coach at the time but DV declined.

Considering the current shape of this franchise, I wish he had declined a second time.

He came within 50 yards of Marino's passing yards record in 1983. I remember being pissed when Mackovic set him down in the second half of the last game of the season. I thought Kenney was a good player on a poor team myself.

Also, Ganz had 4 wins, not 3, in each of his two years, but don't let the facts get in the way of your story.

Hey Ed, fuck off.

You spew so much bullsh*t around here it's ridiculous. When you're called on it, it's "Oh, my memory".

Don't let the FACTS get in your way.
