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.

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.

MikeMaslowski · 08-29-2009, 04:12 PM

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.

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.

KCUnited · 08-29-2009, 04:20 PM

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

2005 - 6-10
2006 - 13-3
2007 - 5-11
2008 - 11-5

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

MikeMaslowski · 08-29-2009, 04:23 PM

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

Mecca · 08-29-2009, 04:23 PM

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

ChiefsDJ56 · 08-29-2009, 04:24 PM

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