KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -

As bad as the first five weeks have been for the Chiefs, it could get a lot worse.

That is the verdict of one long-time NFL executive.

"I don't have to be there to know how bad it is inside their offices and locker room," he said. "When you lose a game like Sunday's loss to the Bears, there's a real hangover."

That makes sense, KC blew a 17-3 lead against a poor Chicago team to fall to 1-4 on the season. Two of those losses came at home, and they were in games that the Chiefs seemed to have in hand. Offensive mistakes and poor defense fueled the defeats.

But, as bad as that is, it could lead to bigger problems.

"The concern for Andy is that the guys stop buying in," he told KCTV5. "If they stop listening to coaches, or start pointing fingers at each other, this could really get ugly."

The long-time exec has always been a big fan of Chiefs coach Andy Reid, but he said Reid is in a dangerous situation.

"I think the players respect Andy," he said, "But if the owner undermines him in any way, that could change. It could really implode."

Chiefs Chairman Clark Hunt personally selected his head coach and general manager John Dorsey, so it would appear highly unlikely that he would do or say anything to put the leaders of his franchise in a bad light. Even when faced with firing former GMs Carl Peterson and Scott Pioli, Hunt did nothing in advance to put his GMs in a bad position.

The NFL executive told KCTV5 that he is also worried about the Chiefs quarterback.

"Alex Smith has been left 'naked,'" he said, "First, he had no offensive line and now he loses the main component of his running game. Good luck with that."

He said the loss of running back Jamaal Charles will make Reid's game-planning and play calling job a lot harder, and that an already weak Chiefs offense will have an even harder time moving forward.

He also said the problems extend to the defense.

"I think (Chiefs defensive coordinator) Bob Sutton's in trouble." he said. "I really like Bob, but that defense should be better."

The veteran exec has faced these kinds of issues himself, and he says he "feels for those guys." "I hope they get it fixed," he said.

So do the millions of Chiefs fans worldwide.

KC will play at Minnesota this Sunday. A game you can see right here on KCTV5. Kick off's at noon.

I truly believe this team would be better if they didn't listen to the coaches!

Clark won't do anything to undermine Reid, he won't do anything at all and that's part of the problem.

Please. Like Clark is going to undermine anything. It took a stadium half full of people wearing black flying banners overhead for him to make a change. He isn't going to do shit this season. If they go 4-12 this year and start out 1-5 next year, then maybe we'll see a little action.

On the other hand, Bob Sutton absolutely SHOULD be afraid for his job.

ground breaking quotes from 'the source'.
LMAO.

We'll get this fixed. We'll be 12-4 .

West will be a diamond in the rough.

Unless Sorenson goes down.

Team has not hit rock bottom yet.

Sutton for sure.

We're going to London so other teams can come to Kansas City and play for a championship. Get with the program.

Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.

It's KCTV5. I bet they talked to Ray Farmer or something.

This so-called "Executive" hasn't watched the Chiefs and doesn't know shit about them.

First off, Clark never says anything. Second, Alex is not left naked, he just flat-out sucks.

Watch the games before you comment on something you know nothing about.

I'm not sure that Clay Wendler is actually a fan of the Chiefs anymore... he seems to be happy when the Chiefs suck, more than when they are winning. Maybe he is a secretly a Bronco fan, these days?

Clay is celebrating because he is right.

Dude was a full-blown homer in the mid-2000's.

Okay, I admit it. I was the source.
