Face it, we are not a marque, east coast team.

Good it'll give LJ another chip on his shoulder. Put em' down Chiefs!!

Seriously it seems like the Chiefs are the media punching bag of 2007. No freaking Primetime games at Arrowhead, everyone saying we're the worst of the worst in every catagory; except maybe running back and TE. Oh well at least HBO has showed some love with Hard Knocks.

[HonestChieffan]

who is the guy and are there really people who rate games watchability? for freaking what? Are these people paid?

Good lord.

[crazycoffey]

A bet I hope I lose this weekend, the chiefs under.

Chiefs - LJ runs two in and gets 150, Def gets two more, and TG gets one. Add to that a few FG's and suddenly we aren't looked down upon by the likes of Oakland and Detroit.....

[HemiEd]

The local radio show, ESPN Radio was really yukking it up about the Chiefs yesterday. Basically saying the Bears had a bye the second week.
They were critical of how Herm has handled Brodie Croyle, giving him no chance to succeed.
They were even making fun of Mrs. Croyle's comments and southern drawl.
Herm might as well go ahead and install the wingedT and make it complete.


Damn, I hope Herm has the last laugh though.

You do mean the games we played with no LJ, Dunn, McIntosh, or hardly any of the starters playing together at the same time in our vanilla offense?

Great foundation for prognostication. Just ask Salisbury.

i can see this. I want to see what that freak charles johnson looks like and sapp and the radiers parade of penalty and mistakes makes you want to watch. The chiefs are going to play fundamentally sound football. Run the football and stop the run. It isn't exciting but it wins games .

Yeah, it wins just enough games to be considered FOR the playoffs, but not actually win IN the playoffs.

[dj56dt58]

I think we're gonna be fine,IF Herm Edwards decides to start going downfield after we establish the run. Once you get teams looking for the run, it helps the offensive line get better in pass protection as the defense is looking for the run. Then after you establish the run, start mixing it up with some passes. D doesn't know what to look for, or when, which helps the offensive line become successful and build confidence and start to gel. That's kina how the Chiefs built their offensve under Vermeil. They had a great running back under Priest and established the run every game, then started mixing it up. Difference is Vermeil was wiling to throw the ball and they had Roaf. The Chiefs will get the run established, it's what they do after that that will ultimately determine the course of this offense, and the season

[TEX]

Yeah, it wins just enough games to be considered FOR the playoffs, but not actually win IN the playoffs.

Well I bet this year we get nowhere near the playoffs. So, that should at least make you a bit happy. Right?

[FringeNC]

How the mighty have fallen...

The Chiefs used to be the most entertaining team to watch. It sucks when there is no upside for your team. If everything falls into place, we could get lucky and back into the playoffs again at 9-7. Playing not to lose football is a guaranteed losing strategy in the playoffs. It makes rooting for the Chiefs to win in the regular season pointless.

[Simply Red]

It's our team.

We're the laughingstocks of the league...
Funny stuff. Yeah actually I was listening to him and heard him say that. I really like that guy though.

Don't get me wrong,good seasons are one of the reasons I gave up my tickets,it was the only voice I had to send a message.

I'm sick to death as well of good seasons and the spin of making the play-offs etc.Carl's had his 5 years X 3 to bring a trophy to KC and I'm one fan who is ready to move on.

It's truly a love/hate relationship.

[htismaqe]

Well, Cowherd is never wrong. He probably thinks that Notre Dame/Penn St. will be the best college game to watch this weekend.

Not surprising that this thread became an indictment of Cowherd (I can't stand him personally) and other well-known talking heads.

You should know that none of them like, care about, or follow the Chiefs.

They look at the PRESEASON games and box scores and say"well, they didn't do shit, they will definately suck".

There is no way you can draw a conclusion from what we've done.

Sadly, I agree. But for some reason if a national personality points this out he is part of some national conspiracy against the great, entertaining all mighty Chiefs.

The most entertaining thing about the Chiefs all preseason has been Herm's interviews. I don't think it will change the next 17 weeks.

[Mr. Plow]

I can draw the conclusion that our "starters" had 1, 2, or MAYBE 3 drives in the preseason. Screw scoring, I'm talking about just moving the ball.

Go ahead and give the standard excuses.....LJ wasn't there, player X was hurt, player Y was staring at the cheerleaders.....The fact is, we looked like crap in the preseason. Worse than I personally have ever seen a KC team look.

LJ makes the offense go period...,and I don't believe our single back,two tight end, starting offense HAD ANY drives.

You know, our best and most frequently used formation.

Thank you Herm.......and you too Carl

[kcfanXIII]

bottom line: chiefs are rebuilding, no one likes to watch a team in transition because they often have sub par players playing key positions. no one wants to see huard stumble around the pocket before fumbling the ball during his 5000 year wind up/release. no one wants to see this patched together offensive line try to slow down a real pass rush.

those of you thinking we don't know how good this team is, and that we should wait to pass judgment, must have missed all of the preseason. the o-line looked like it couldn't block a pop warner team , with no o-line, no running game, and with herm no running game means no offense.

call me doom and gloom, a pessimist, or a fair weather fan all you want. read the writing on the wall, this offensive team is hurad-able. give up hope now, before it crushes you when we go 6-10 or 7-9.

This from FoxSports week one forecast. Every other game rated a paragraph - ours got six bulletpoints:

Chiefs at Texans:

1. Larry Johnson is toast after toting the ball 416 times last year.

2. Herm Edwards and Mike Solari's offensive system could make dirt snore.

3. The Texans have a spiffy new offensive backfield (Matt Schaub and Ahman Green) but the same old problems on the offensive line.

4. Gary Kubiak's offense is only slightly more exciting than Solari's,

5. These two teams might not reach the over-under of 38 in a three-game series.

6. With all of the draw plays on 3rd-and-15, this game may clock in at under two-and-a-half hours.

LJ can't carry the whole load, bowe probably won't start right away, huard will make you wish for steve bono by the end of the year, and webb has shown nothing to make me think he'll be a factor. i mean webb couldn't even beat out sammie "featherstone" parker last year.

So, why are you so attracted to mediocrity? :p

The Hawkeyes aren't mediocre. They've done rather well in recent years considering the fact that things in the NCAA ARE NOT EQUAL.

The Chiefs, on the other hand, have NO EXCUSES.

[htismaqe]

You should know that none of them like, care about, or follow the Chiefs.

They look at the PRESEASON games and box scores and say"well, they didn't do shit, they will definately suck".

I mean no disrespect, but it's Basically the same thing you've been doing.
There is no way you can draw a conclusion from what we've done.

I can draw a conclusion from what Herm has done here last year and also in New York.

He's following the same damn pattern he always does. "Play not to lose". I was stupid to think he might actually change...

On Mike and Mike this morning Gollick picked the Chiefs to finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs.

Smart man.

Really? Why not?

[Otter]

Face it, we are not a marque, east coast team.

This is so stupid. You couldn't avoid hearing about the Chiefs when Vermiel and Saunders had the offense going full force. The media doesn't care where you're from as long as you're a hot item.

The biggest reason the Chiefs don't get any air time is because their a joke in the post-season.

No really.

The reason the Chiefs are being looked down on is because we don't have an offense that is even remotely close to what we had under DV. High scoring and exciting. Media gave the _efense a pass because the O was so damn good. Now, even if we have a top 10 D, our offense will be nothing to write home about, or write columns in newspapers about.

Bottom line, we really don't know what we have for an offense this year, there are many differences from last year. The trick to rebuilding is not starting all young guys, otherwise you will get your QB killed while the Oline learns how to block in the NFL. That's why you have to have a few veterans in there. Nobody "re-builds" with all rookies...

[Fish]

bottom line: chiefs are rebuilding, no one likes to watch a team in transition because they often have sub par players playing key positions. no one wants to see huard stumble around the pocket before fumbling the ball during his 5000 year wind up/release. no one wants to see this patched together offensive line try to slow down a real pass rush.

those of you thinking we don't know how good this team is, and that we should wait to pass judgment, must have missed all of the preseason. the o-line looked like it couldn't block a pop warner team , with no o-line, no running game, and with herm no running game means no offense.

call me doom and gloom, a pessimist, or a fair weather fan all you want. read the writing on the wall, this offensive team is hurad-able. give up hope now, before it crushes you when we go 6-10 or 7-9.

I guess not. It's not like Michigan has been any better than Iowa the past few years.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

ok, so a team that goes 9-7 and makes significant upgrades in the offseason is the laughingstock of the league because a couple of "experts" don't think they will be good?

shouldn't we let them play a game first before we call them the laughingstock of the league?

[dtebbe]

Predicting the Chiefs are going 9-7 and barely missing the playoffs is like predicting Chiefs fans are going to wear red on sunday. A 2 year old could figure that one out.

[Dr. Van Halen]

Reasons to believe we'll be 9-7 and making the playoffs by the skin of our teeth.

Color me unimpressed. I've seen that before.

Wow. You are one jaded fella. Making the playoffs is a big deal. It is. Most teams don't. Going 9-7 is pretty good, no matter how many times you've done it before.

Again, you don't like Edwards or Peterson and don't think the team will be good this year (largely because of them). Okay. We get it.

We've both been on this board a long time, but I have to ask: at what point did you start acting like a complete jerk?

[keg in kc]

We are so being set up to have a cinderella season.

[Mr. Plow]

We are so being set up to have a cinderella season.

All we need for that is Solari in the hospital unable to make any offensive play decisions whatsoever.

Ladies and Gentleman, if you look to your right you will see a fine specimen of indoctrination via 1 Arrowhead Drive. Notice the complacency. The docile look, the contentness with mediocrity. The fear to risk failing so that one might succeed.

Moving on to the hall of winners.....

[kcfanXIII]

let me tell you what i learned in the preseason, the offensive line sucks. that and, as mr. plow stated, solari calling the plays will equal suck.

[Micjones]

Who cares what the biased media mumblemouths have to say.

I can't wait!!!

[kcfanXIII]

i will admit, i hope i'm wrong. i hope LJ is an exception and doesn't get injured. i hope the offensive line gels and is not the worst in the league. i hope we win 11 or 12 games and make the playoffs. but i can not ignore the feeling i get that none of these things will happen this year.

who is the guy and are there really people who rate games watchability? for freaking what? Are these people paid?

Good lord.

Yes. He's paid. BTW: How much do you get for your opinion?

[keg in kc]

I sure as hell wouldn't be watching this game if I wasn't a Chiefs fan. It has 'dog' written all over it.
