That time again.. expectations thread - Page 2

**ChiefGator** · 11-14-2007, 12:20 PM

I think it's been a week or so since the last one....

How's everyone's expectations and general feeling for the Chiefs now?

I realized that I had taken a ninety-degree turn (why do people say that instead of 180 degree turn? What I love are the 360 degree turns that people say sometimes...) when I told my girlfriend we were watching the Chiefs this weekend again. She said she wasn't sure she wanted to join me since I just get all agitated and scream at the TV during the games. I realized I'm not going to get agitated at all. I'm suddenly in 'evaluation mode'.

I for one, am happy to see the defense playing better, but I still don't believe they can keep us in games forever. I am happy to have a top ten defense, but haven't convinced myself they are anything near elite. So, when the defense can't stop the other team, I'm not too upset. When they do stop the other team, I'm still surprised.

And as for the defense, now I'm just watching Brodie and Priest. With half an eye on Niswanger (sp?). And hoping Brodie can feed the ball to Bowe.

I want us to win, but that is not the main thing for me anymore.

Maybe I'm crazy though...

How's the rest of ChiefPlanet's pulse?

My interest level in the Chiefs is at an all time low. I have ZERO faith in this coaching staff being able to even maintain mediocrity.

1981 is here again. Losing two in a row at home, the way they just did, is entirely unacceptable.

I just had lunch with an engineer from Detroit, they have been looking up at mediocrity for a long time. The Chiefs are the new Detroit.

But I will have my ass firmly planted in front of the Tube Sunday at noon.

The most important thing to me here is that we'll finally figure out whether we've got anything to work with in Croyle.

My honest prediction is that it will be easy to find a ticket to Arrowhead for quite sometime.

I'm sticking to my 5-11 preseason prediction. We'll probably win maybe 1 or 2 more, but it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't.

Chiefs | Croyle to start Week 11

The Associated Press reports Kansas City Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle will start the team's Week 11 game, according to head coach Herman Edwards. "You need a spark," Edwards said. "We've been in some contests now where we haven't had the ability to score points. That's part of your job as a quarterback, to put points on the board and move the football team. We've moved at times, but we've also been very inconsistent."

Not before YOU came to town Herm.
