Chiefs could get an all-time NFL record!
Chiefs threatening all-time NFL turnover records
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 6, 2012, 12:58 PM EDT AP The Chiefs haven’t just been bad in the turnover department this season. They’ve been historically bad. With 15 turnovers so far this season — eight lost fumbles and seven interceptions — Kansas City is on pace to turn the ball over 60 times. That’s close to the all-time NFL record of 63 turnovers in a season, set by the 1978 San Francisco 49ers. And with a turnover differential of minus-13, the Chiefs are on pace to finish at minus-52. That would blow away the all-time NFL record of minus-30, set by the 1965 Pittsburgh Steelers. Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel acknowledged that his team has a problem. “We cannot turn the ball over, so we’re going to concentrate on the importance of the football and hanging onto it,” Crennel said this week. “One thing we do is work on it more, so all week we’re going to put more emphasis on hanging onto the football.” It’s probably unlikely that the Chiefs will continue having all these turnover problems: Losing and recovering fumbles tends to be as much about luck as anything else, and a team that’s been extremely unlucky for four games probably won’t continue to be extremely unlucky for 12 more games. But Crennel is right that this is something the Chiefs have to get better at. Benching Matt Cassel, who has already thrown seven interceptions and lost three fumbles, may be a step in that direction. |

Last in the league in scoring defense also. It's pitiful, really.

You keep giving teams a short field, that is going to happen.

I'd be pretty surprised if we kept the pace up like that much longer. We're bad, but not THAT bad. But you never know I guess.

But this team is playing a number of good teams this season, and I could easily see Matt Cassel throwing 20 more picks and fumbling another 2 or 3 times if he remains the starter. Throw in another 3-5 fumbles form others, and we could easily finish the season with upwards of 40 turnovers.

Which makes him look for their eyes, which is stupid, which is why he misses WRs open.
