Are you excited about another year of Chiefs mediocrity?

[Logical]

[Direckshun]

I just went to your profile and activated a list of the threads you've started recently. The sad thing is, the best thread you've got is one about sex in the backseat of a car, because your football threads have been dragging ass recently.

That said, I am expecting a mediocre season, but I'm also excited about a youth movement at WR, DL, RB, in the secondary, and special teams. I think this is a team that's got a lot of promise aided by a good number of veterans who can show them how to win.

[keg in kc]

I have a feeling this year will be surprising. In a good way. But it's just a feeling.

As for whether I'm excited or not, well, I'm too tired and too burned-out on work to get excited about much right now.

[runnercyclist]

I am always excited about the beginning of an NFL season. I was born in NW Missouri and therefore am a Chiefs fan. So, in a word, yes, I am excited about this upcomong Chiefs season!

[Hammock Parties]

I'm always excited. Sorry.

I will admit, however, that there was no way I was buying tickets to any game but the season opener.

[Deberg_1990]

IM a football lover, so of course im excited. But i think we all know deep down we are headed for disappointment. As long as Carls in charge, this is the way it has to be. Its been written by the Gods or something....

Carl is just the person Chief's fan use as a scapegoat for their lack of Super Bowl..yet we are good every single year. Personally, I love being in the hunt every single year. I absolutely love it. You have your 13-3 years, you have your 9-7 years, and we don't have those Oakland Raider 2 and 14 years. I love it.

[el borracho]

Very low expectations for this year. I will still follow them but I am preparing myself mentally for the beating that will be the 2007 season.

I found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya... it feels phenomenal.

[tk13]

This is about as down as I've ever seen this place. I'm almost half expecting us to go 14-2 because of it, just because it'd throw everyone for a loop, and nobody would know how to act since the season is already shot.

I'm not predicting that, but I admittedly don't put much stock into the preseason. I honestly have no clue what to expect. Our o-line could fall apart and Huard could flop. But I think we're a lot closer to dangerously slipping into a 11-5 Martyball type season than people expect. I think we have all the pieces to do it.

I just haven't seen the Oline do anything to warrant optimism. I guess they might surprise me but it seems unlikely. Is McIntosh really going to be that much better?

To be perfectly honest I still see the Dline as a potential downer, too. Of course I am very happy with our DEs but I haven't seen enough out of our DTs to convince me we will be anything special. Our preseason time of possession was abominable. I know, I know we were running vanilla schemes and we didn't give up that many points but the opposing teams' offenses were also running vanilla schemes and still managed to control the clock and outscore us in every single game. Not good.

We had killer lines in the 90s- both offensive and defensive. We also had two shutdown corners and one of the greatest LBs of our time. I don't see that on the 2007 Chiefs.

Ya, I can admit my disdain for Parker and hope for the underdog(Sippio) got the best of me earlier...But deep down I think they will be better than a lot of people are expecting...including myself..I was just ready to roll with the punches of the young guys...coupled with not knowing who the starting QB was until a few days ago...it just seems puzzling....kind of hard to put a finger on who they are as a team...

[el borracho]

YES.
Great! Now convince me that Terry is a reliable option on the right side and/ or that Turley's back will hold up for an entire season. While you are at it, convince me that Wiegman will be an effective power-rushing center at 285 pounds.

Terry's going to be among the better backup RTs in the league. You need to straighten yourself out on this particular issue.

But I can't make the argument that Terry is a reliable RT, for the same reason I can't make that argument for every other backup RT in the league: if he was reliable, he'd be the starter.

Yes, he's inconsistent, but that's why we have him backing up. That's the nature of the league. That's the nature of reality in general, actually.

Now I can't tell you if Turley will hold up but I can name numerous factors that make it more likely that he will. Obviously he's back to his effective playing weight, he ran blocked well in the preseason, and he didn't allow a sack. He's a year removed from the injury, and he overtook Terry at RT, who everybody thought was a slam dunk position for Terry.

[el borracho]

Umm...did LJ not rush for 1700+ yards the last 2 seasons???
That he did! Of course, we weren't a power rushing team two years ago so 2005 wouldn't have much to do with the issue at hand and LJ's average went down a full yard per carry last year so there is some concern. I don't know... I hope I am wrong but I just wasn't impressed by our line last year and I haven't seen any significant improvement yet this year. I hope that changes- but I doubt it.

Umm...did LJ not rush for 1700+ yards the last 2 seasons???That fact, and the fact the Wiegmann is a pulling center and not a driving center, are mutually exclusive.

Truth is, the weakest point of the line right now may be the center of it (yes, as weak or weaker than RT). Dude's great in space, but he's undersized and occasionally overwhelmed, particularly in pass protection.

Hopefully we can continue to scheme around it.

OK I am "Logical" and yes I am serious with these threads as I always have been. I am well known as the Andy Rooney of the Chiefs organization. You want roses and happy thoughts don't read my stuff. I tell it like it is as I really see it.

[Rasputin]

I'd be exited to watch Brodie the QB with a rocket arm develope into what I expect him to be a star QB. I'd be exited to watch playaction pass and throw deep to Bowe for a TD. This may or may not happen or is just wishfull thinkin, but it's better than the same ol same ol.

I think Brodie and the rest of the team would have looked alot better if in fact LT D-Mac played in the preseason games, and ofcourse if Sammie didn't drop balls.

We have LJ to carry the Rock, that in itself is reason to be exited, and makes us a dangerous team. I think Michael Bennet is going to spell LJ enough and explode out of the back field for long ganes when the D is tired of tackling or getting ran over by LJ. It still depends on how our O-line holds up though.

I'm defently exited to watch our Defense nock the crap out of people. Oh for the sake of the Football Gods, our D is going to kick some ASS.

I'm not overly worried about wins and loss this year, but just want to watch this team grow into a SB continder the next 2-3 years. It may take some heart-aches this year but it is going to be worth it imo.

No expectations this year. Just taking things in stride. One game at a time. I think we can beat the Texans week 1.

I think this team is better then last year. I really do.

I don't care what people say, we have mix of veteran leadership and youth on this roster. I'm tired of pessimism. I and others on here watch football to be entertained.

We don't have a bad team. This team can still can get into the playoffs.
Even if we are mediocre this year. I'll take mediocre over horrible. Again, I watch football to be entertained.

The Offensive line isn't as bad as some people on this board make it seem. We actually have talent there.

This is a team where I can officially say we have talent on both sides of the ball.

As crappy as our offense has looked, we do have a SOLID running game, and that is half of an offense. The running game is the QB's best friend. Running game opens up the passing game. Look at the positive aspect there.

Our defense has talent. We got some real talented cover guys out there in Law, Surtain, Edwards, Page. I think Hali and Allen are good pass rushers. That's is one part of our defense that has me excited.

I am excited that we somewhat energized this roster with youth. I will pay close attention to guys like Bowe, Tyler, Medlock, McBride, Pollard, Harris, etc....Don't know what to expect there? hey their rookies.

I am happy the Chiefs are giving Huard a chance. He deserves it. Played really really well last year and can be a great story. Gotta root for Damon Huard folks. I hate it when people cut him up. He is what I call an understudy, nobody gave him a chance. He is the journeyman type of QB. But learned from the best of them. Damon Huard is what I would label the "underdog". This is his opportunity after 11 years. gotta root for the guy.

*I think we will have a solid defense. The running game is there. As long as we don't turn the ball over, and play disciplined football, that will equate to winning games. There are a lot of positives on this team. If the Coaching staff plays the cards right, the Chiefs will be a tough team to beat on Sundays.

All I gotta say is GO CHIEFS!!! That is all I can do from here.

The defense should get better if the CBs don't fade and the young guys step up at safety, two pretty big ifs. Offensive line will further degrade the slippage of our offense and then playcalling will finish it off. Winning 50% of the games will be a big challenge and it is a shame we chose not to develop a QB or at least get regular season evaluation on him so we can have that 50% chance.

Our corners are fine, they're veteran guys back there and consistent....The safeties should be better. We got more speed back there, and some energy.

I think Page will be a good cover guy. His tackling concerns me though.I still think he has to get the fundamental aspects of his game down. You can tell by watching some games he is still a bit raw there. But we saw him display some real good athletic ability, and he covers ground well for a safety.

I think Pollard will help bring energy, and provide some solid tackling back there. He was known for producing the big hits in college, and made plenty of excellent open field tackles at Purdue.

I think the secondary has improved. Im not concerned there. Herm for one may not be as great of a coach, but I would never for one doubt his ability to access and evaluate talent, especially the DB's. I think he knows what he is doing there. He built some solid secondaries with the Jets.

The Offensive line has some talent. It just hasn't looked good because for one, Svitek played in most of the pre-season games. The middle of the line is solid. Waters, Wiegman, and Welbourn are all solid players.
The tackles are a bit suspect, I am not a big fan of McIntosh. I think he is an average tackle. I like Turley though. I hope he can stay healthy, (that has been his problem) and get his stuff together. He was a probowl lineman before. So Im glad to see that were giving him a chance to redeem himself.

I somewhat agree with you that the playcalling on offense is not that good. But, Larry Johnson is the Chiefs best offensive player? You have to put the ball in his hands. There does need to be a little more creativity on in the play calling a little play action here and there. Possibly some more shifts in formations. Something where we can throw defenses off-balance. That needs to happen. I think lack of creativity on playcalling will somewhat hurt this team. I think if this team is smart they can mask their weaknesses. From what I noticed last year watching games of Huard, he does have a quick release which is good if the pass protection is not as good. A couple of short step drops with some quick slant throws can force the defense to not react quick enough, or apply pressure on time. There are ways. Bowe was a known for catching the slant passes in college. Im excited to see if he can do it at the pro level. But its clear were a running team. Not exactly a bad thing when you have a top 5 back in the league. Pass protection won't be as much of a concern.

I understand most fans are dispointed that the Chiefs never went with Croyle. But the reality is, he just simply wasn't ready. It what his job to lose, and he lost it. Simple as that. Huard is the most logical choice for now. Croyle can wait.

*Doom, defense will improve. Edwards is going to be a HUGE upgrade over Bell. That will make a difference right there. And Harris should be a better fit in a cover 2 scheme than Mitchell. I think Tyler will get a lot of playing time. And Im looking forward to seeing him play. He looked good in the pre-season, and hopefully that can carry over into the regular season. You, I, and others on here know, the Chiefs need a DT badly.

Arghhh I just get sick of this crap. It's really simple, really.

We won't start 4-0.

But we will start 2-2, and that will be JUST ENOUGH incentive to justify starting Huard for the entire season.

I can't wait for 8-8!

[Crashride]

This is about as down as I've ever seen this place. I'm almost half expecting us to go 14-2 because of it, just because it'd throw everyone for a loop, and nobody would know how to act since the season is already shot.

I'm not predicting that, but I admittedly don't put much stock into the preseason. I honestly have no clue what to expect. Our o-line could fall apart and Huard could flop. But I think we're a lot closer to dangerously slipping into a 11-5 Martyball type season than people expect. I think we have all the pieces to do it.

Oh theyll know how to act. All of a sudden everyone will be like I knew it was gonna happen!!!good job carl!!!

I can see 2-2. if we are 1-4 i really do see Croyle coming out for a game. And doing ridiculously horrible. But at that point herm would have no choice but to keep him in.... Till week 8 when we are 3-5 and he starts Thigpen haha.

[the Talking Can]

My excitement (not interest) for this season evaporated when Huard was named the starter after The Fan's cries for yet another 9-7 were heard by Carl. And I realized that not only was Carl responsible for 13 years of risk free mediocrity, but that our fans were also. They walk hand-in-hand into the 9-7 hued light of Career Backups and No Playoff Wins ever.

I'll watch the games, as always.

But we'll be in the exact same place next year as we are this year: needing a QB. Which makes this year with Huard a waste by defintion.

You can't avoid the inevitable (grooming a QB), you can only delay it. Carl & Chiefs Fans = permanent delay.

I've given up on hoping for a Franchise that wants to win.

[gta0012]

I'm not sure. As much as i want a new QB I can't help but look at Croyle sucking ass in the pre-season. Yea he showed signs of a great QB but man he needs to get consistent. Throwing him in the starter position would either make him great or ruin him for his career.

Throwing him in the starter position would either make him great or ruin him for his career.

And either way, we've moved forward.

As opposed to yet another season of being an also-ran.

But hey, as long as the stadium is full.

[JBucc]

I'm more excited about college this year. If the Hogs suck at least Nutt will be fired, and Broyles is retiring. If the Chiefs suck, Carl and Herm will still be here.

Exactly! That's what we want.

I blame that damn Gold Card I bought at 54th Street,2 for 1 drinks every Sunday and Monday.

The more you drink, the more you save!

Brilliant!

Put me down as a person who was excited with all the off season moves, especially on defense. This is a return to the Chiefs I fell in love with in the early 90's.

Then they pull the rug out from under me with the Croyle decision. I look at the Medlock and wonder how he is supposed to be an upgrade over Tynes (ok, he can kickoff farther. So what, he won't be kicking very often if he is missing field goals and we turn the ball over on downs). We cut the one receiver in camp who can do what noone has been able to do around here in years, catch the damned ball!

So I feel like I have become a bi-polar fan. Unfortunately, the beginning of the season is not the time to be having a down swing in attitude. But that is what this organization has done to me.

[Sure-Oz]

Carl is just the person Chief's fan use as a scapegoat for their lack of Super Bowl..yet we are good every single year. Personally, I love being in the hunt every single year. I absolutely love it. You have your 13-3 years, you have your 9-7 years, and we don't have those Oakland Raider 2 and 14 years. I love it.
We haven't won a playoff game in like 10 years? We can't even attempt to groom a young QB? I don't want continuous seasons of barely having a chance at a playoff or squeezing in and getting thrashed because we were "just good enough" to get in. I'd rather take some growing pains and build a dynasty than continue on and win 9-10 games and barely make it or not make it in the playoffs every year. We do just enough, we never get over the hump. Dick V. era, had the best offense and wasted it because the defense was the worst ever. I am kind've sick of getting the 24th pick in the draft every year as well. I always root for my chiefs to win, but Carl seems to raise the ticket prices every year for a mediocre product at best.

It's easy to get excited for the new season when you've headed into each season for the last 18 years with no expectations.

[Logical]

somebody shoot me please

It was pretty funny Joe.

I think this is what is worst, so many of us had mentally prepared ourselves, even got psyched about a young QB and playing some young receivers and then to go with this same old bullshit.:shake:
