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

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

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.

"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.

I agree and a home game.

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

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.

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