Despite loss, Chiefs still first in the AFC Worst

At 4-4 with 2 home losses, all is not lost for the Kansas City Chiefs. An imploding division leaves the Chiefs still on top with SD’s loss at Minnesota and Denver’s humiliation at the hands of the red hot Detroit Lions.

Changes are coming:

Joe Buck plugged away at the Croyle-is-warming-up-on-the-sidelines angle; he got that idea from somewhere.

Larry Johnson’s ankle roll looked like a season ender. Herm said we will see plenty of Kolby Smith along with Priest Holmes. I smell a RBbC…

The better team won:

Favre’s 360 yards passing on the road was a championship performance against a stout defense;

Easy to see why the Pack cut Rayner in favor of Crosby;

Even with plenty of yellow hankies assisting the KC offense’s anemic efforts, GB’s defense took away the run and shut down KC’s (admitted second string) WRs.

The good:

Alphonso Boone is a beast inside who creates all kind of problems for interior blockers;

Dustin Colquitt. ‘Nuff said.

The bad:

3 of 11 on third downs, Huard was sacked 5 times for -40 yards.

Chief’s Cover 2 let WRs get behind them too much against a QB who made them pay for it.

The ugly:

Kansas City averaged just 4 yards-per-play. That is miserable.

KC is dead last in play efficiency: more 3-and-outs than any team in the NFL.

Bold prediction:

Now that Herm is without LJ, he will have to be more creative on offense (which means actually trying to get 1st downs and score). He can no longer hide behind the mirage of “we’re a power running team”. Anticipated result: the Chiefs O will actually improve.

We could be the worst 1st place team of the last 15 years.

I think Larry will play next week. Just a gut feeling.

Being in first in this division is like being the smartest kid with down syndrome.

BigChiefFan · 11-04-2007, 04:25 PM

If we're still in first place, the other teams in the division really suck, but the Chiefs are weak.

We can only hope Buck and Aikman were on to something with the coming QB changes...

Could be to little to late though... by the time Croyle gets in Horrid most likely will have wobble launched our season away...

I dunno. Ankle sprains don't heal overnight.

Plus low first round draft pick.

KCJohnny · 11-04-2007, 04:29 PM

With the Chiefs still in first, I doubt Herm will make a QB change. He's on a quest for that magical finish-one-game-over-.500.

The way he's getting pounded, Huard will be knocked out of a game soon. The guy has 9 lives the way he's been scuffed up.

Huard is going to need some help getting us there first.

i dont think the ankle injury is a season ender- thats a little extreme imo

BigChiefFan · 11-04-2007, 04:42 PM

It's just an ankle sprain-no way that keeps LJ out for the season.

The defender rolled it over. I would expect LJ to miss at least 3-4 weeks. Surely we'll be under .500 by then.
