THE MATCH-UP

The Chiefs return to Arrowhead for their third preseason contest on Saturday as Seattle visits Kansas City (8/29). The Chiefs are still seeking their first preseason victory after suffering a 17-13 loss at Minnesota (8/21). The Seahawks are 2-0 after securing a 27-13 win vs. Denver (8/22).

The Chiefs and Seahawks both boast head coaches in their initial seasons in that capacity with their current clubs. Chiefs head coach Todd Haley arrived in Kansas City after helping guide the Arizona Cardinals to a berth in Super Bowl XLIII. Meanwhile, Seattle head coach Jim Mora owns three seasons of previous head coaching experience with Atlanta, where he led the Falcons to the NFC Championship Game as a rookie head coach in 2004. He has served as Seattle’s assistant head coach/defensive backs coach the past two seasons.

Saturday’s game is one more opportunity to evaluate the squad before the NFL’s first mandatory cutdown to 75 players on September 1st. The Chiefs conclude their preseason schedule with a Governor’s Cup matchup at St. Louis (9/3). That contest will serve as Kansas City’s final tune-up before beginning the 2009 regular season at Baltimore (9/13). Meanwhile, Seattle will host an Opening Day contest vs. St. Louis (9/13).

26TH ANNUAL CHIEFS CHARITY GAME
Saturday’s contest is the 26th Annual Chiefs Charity Game. Established in ‘84, this annual event benefits local non-profit agencies that serve children in the Kansas City metropolitan area and has raised more than six million dollars since its inception. This year’s game benefits the Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired (CCVI). Since ‘52, CCVI has been the only school in the Kansas City area offering specialized instruction and therapies for children aged birth through school age who are blind and visually impaired.

THE SERIES
Seattle holds a 3-0 advantage in the brief preseason series between the Chiefs and Seahawks that began in 2002. In the most recent preseason meeting between the two squads, Seattle prevailed by a 23-17 margin at Arrowhead (8/27/05). The Seahawks have prevailed in both preseason contests between these two clubs at Qwest Stadium, claiming a 42-31 victory (8/23/03) and a 17-14 win (8/24/02).

Kansas City owns a 31-18 (.633) record in regular season play against Seattle. The two teams were regular foes in the AFC West from ‘77-01 before realignment moved the Seahawks to the NFC. The most recent regular season meeting between the two teams resulted in a 35-28 Chiefs victory at Arrowhead (10/29/06). One of the most memorable games in the Chiefs-Seahawks series was a 17-16 Seattle win at Arrowhead (11/11/90) as Hall of Fame LB Derrick Thomas registered an NFL-record 7.0 sacks. However, sack number 8.0 slipped through his grasp as QB Dave Krieg threw the game-winning 25-yard TD to WR Paul Skansi on the final play.

Mora will have to do mulitple hits of the smelling salts to stay awake for this barn burner.

Doesn't reair on NFL network until 10 oclock central.

We seriously need to kick some ass this week.

Fixed it

I agree with GoChiefs on this one. These things don't count for crap, but some sort of a win is needed at some point.

I agree. I'm looking for the O-line to not get dominated. I think some things are starting to come together slowly besides that.

Maurice Leggett likes to eat.

Anyone know when it will be on the NFL network

Reading compreh...**** it, you know the rest. See Post #3

What time is NFLN re-airing it?

Anyone know if it will be broadcast in HD?

I'm assuming so, it was last 2 weeks.

8 pm tonight.










Oh, for you, that's 10 pm CT.

We need a win here bad .. the team the coaching and fans need to see this team get a win and get this season started ...

Just remember if you're trying to avoid a spoiler that they're probably going to run their little updates from time to time between possessions.

FWIW, WIBW is not going to broadcast the game tonight for the NE Kansas viewers according to their schedule on the website. They are showing the Chargers game. The Chiefs game is being broadcast on their backup station called MyTV or something like that.

Blame kcchiefs.com for the misinformation.

Mine is strictly a copy and paste endeavor.

is croyle playing tonight?

This game should show us a little of what how the team is ready to perform. I hope Tyler T. shines if they are going to trade him and that might be the best thing if we can get some help for this season.

I'd be surprised if the OL doesn't look better against the Seahawks than the first two games. If they regress it's not going to be pretty when we face the Ravens. All we'll be able to hope for is a good defensive performance.

Is the NFL channel going to be carrying this one?

?

?

?

?


Okay, in all seriousness, is Curry still listed as doubtful? I was looking forward to this one as a "See?! I told you so!" game. I mean, if he's out, then we should dominate them. If Curry is in, we're doomed.

Don't get me wrong, I was not blaming you. I just put the Chiefs Television Network... of which WIBW is a member... was broadcasting the game from your original post.

It was more for an alert for the folks like me who live in the WIBW coverage area, that the game is not going to be on that said channel, but their back-up station MYTV.

The Tulsa station is showing the gawd damned Cowboys at 7 and the Chiefs at 10. I will have to stay away from this thread since it won't be live.

Any good streaming sites for the game?

not saying it is a great stream, but something like chiefsfanforum on justin tv normally streams

it says chargers vs falcons on both channels

4321

I'm was just to lazy to read the whole thread. :D

Anyway, got it covered.

I think it's going to be an ugly night.

Well that is nothing new.

I don't think we can take a whole lot away from the O-line tonight as far as judging for the Baltimore game. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Seatle plays a traditional 4-3. The good thing about our O-line is that they practice against a 3-4 everyday, so that should have them fairly well prepared for the Baltimore game. Not to jump the gun on anything, but I think if (and this is a BIG if) we win the turnover battle against Baltimre, we could win that game.

You think the Chiefs have a chance against Baltimore? Are you high?

A little drunk maybe, but not high...

But seriously, this is the NFL. I bet the Miami and Atlanta fans were saying the same thing last year. Baltimore has been up and down for years and they are notorious for losing when they lose the turnover battle. I'm don't think we will win, but I do think we have a chance.

Generally speaking, teams that win the turnover battle win games.

Well, except for the Chiefs last year.

There are some games I think you can sell that they'll have a chance to win...but not Baltimore's home opener.

And Miami's turnaround was due in part to making some move in free agency, including Chad Pennington, and in larger part because they had a weakass schedule.

The Falcons were a team that was accumulating talent for a few years, building around Vick.

It all came together when they drafted Ryan and signed Michael Turner, and they also had a relatively easy schedule.

KC doesn't have the the benefit of either of those scenarios.

They hav marginal talent and a brutal schedule.

I competely agree with you. "generla speaking" teams that win the turnover battle win games, but the Chiefs did not do that last year. I think if they can do that against Baltimore, that would be a huge step in the right direction.

Anyways, I think I have gotten off topic of this thread. The Chiefs vs Baltimore thread will start in a couple weeks (which is awesome). As far as tonight goes, yes a win would be nice, but if our starters are winning when they take the bench, I will be happy. I don't put too much stock into it if the guys fighting for a roster spot blow the game.

Holy shit! Nobody is going to understand this but hell..im happy. AFN is actually showing a Chiefs game! Last year they only showed the pats opener. Will they play anymore games this year? I won't hold my breath.

Again, I don't disagree with you. I by no means think that that the Chiefs are going to win 10 or 11 games, I am just not sold on Baltimore. I have not posted here for a while, but you guys will quickly find out that I am the eternal optomist. I will always find a reason that the Chiefs have a chance to win. I still think the Royals can win the division.........just need to win out. :banghead:

Baltimore has been good for a decade now...it's not like they're some fraud out there.

Right now if Matt Cassel makes it through the first 2 months of the year alive it'll be a good thing.

Baltimore just needs an elite receiver and they're money. Week one is a bona fide asswhopping.

Baltimore

2004 - 9-7
2005 - 6-10
2006 - 13-3
2007 - 5-11
2008 - 11-5

Not exactly what I would call consistant. Up and down for years.

What the hell happened to my SIG PIC?????????

Their defense has been consistent.....now their offense is up and coming with young play makers, if anything they're only going to improve.

Wow.....no matter what happens tonight, at least we aren't the Raiders......37-0......talk about being embarassed.

God am I glad I picked Brees in FF!

The entire division is garbage outside of San Diego.

Agreed. Shoot for the stars...second place in the AFC West.

It could be gel, but I'm guessing silicone.

Uh, not quite. But don't let facts get in the way of your rant.

Yea Baltimore sucks alright.

But hey lets not let reality get in the way of good homer positivity.

Without homer positivity, I would have nothing. All I am saying is that Baltimore has done nothing to impress since 2002. Sure thay have had a good defense, but they have not shown the ability to score. Not to mention that the majoritiy of their defensive studs are getting old. They can still play, but if you can't score, you can't win.

Are you seeing a sig pic with big beatiful breasts?

Its showing me a link....

Matt Cassel > Joe Flacco

I am very confident this will give us a fighting chance on opening day.

Go into your sig control panel and hit "Save."

To be honest I don't think San Diego is really that good. They are just lucky they have been living in the AFC West the last five years. With that said, they are better than the rest of the division, but that isn't saying much.

Good is undercutting how good their defense is...it's top 5.

If you want to say they can win both against the Raiders, both against the Broncos, or Cincy or Cleveland or make games of with with the Redskins or Cowboys that's great but Baltimore on the road in week 1..no.

WTF? "Nothing to impress?" wow...

Someone just posted the Ravens record for most of the decade you ****ing toolbox. You're just not man enough to admit when you're wrong, as usual.

Well I hope he's better for the Chiefs sake because well Flacco doesn't have to do much for his team to win.

I completely forgot this time of year is when about half the forum forgets where the team really stands in the league.

Thanks. There are my lovely beauties. I was sad for a minute.

Who's your team? I never can remember who you actively root for.

"was" top 5. Come on Mecca, have some faith. This is the only time of the year that we can truly be optomistic about our team. New GM, new coach, new QG, new defensive system, lets enjoy it while we can. When we start 0-5, then we can start bitching, but for now lets be optomistic and be happy.

I think we can all agree that this years team is better than last years. Last year on opening day, we were a 4th and goal play on the one away from beating the Patriots. It can happen.

They have been defensively consistent for a decade which is what I meant. Which is the issue with the Chiefs game, I don't think Baltimore is going to throw up some huge score but I question if the Chiefs can score on them.

LET'S DO IT

I agree and a home game.

We need home wins at the least for what is going to be a long season. :spock:

The team is going to start like balls the schedule is harder than hell, they have a reasonable shot of finishing strong if the first half of the year doesn't demoralize them.

I think Mecca needs to find a happy place. Every team in the league has a chance to win it all right now, that's the beauty of the pre-season. Be happy and enjoy the fact that the Chiefs haven't lost a regular season game yet. It probably won't last long.

That sounds like something a small market baseball fan would say....

There are teams that are favorites teams with a reasonable chance teams with a slim chance and teams with no chance.

The only team in the AFC West with any chance is San Diego.

Cassel was just trying to give McIntosh a concussion so that he has a chance to get through the season alive.

It must suck to look at life in such a negative way. "Real" football is coming soon. Be happy. Go Chiefs!!

DJ is out.

Wonder who's taking his spot? Belcher? Beisel?

Biesel.


ugh......

Seriously?? What happened?

He tripped over his sagging labia.

Tore his hymen.

Out indefinitely.

I'm sure DJ is fine. Probably just precautionary.

A dislocated expectation.

I really don't see what is wrong with looking at something realistically.

If I heard some Browns fan talking about how they're gonna be awesome I'd shake my head in disbelief.

I'm just glad he was close to the labia. I'm sure his girlfriend hates the fact that he is always in the wrong hole.
