National Media starts the bashing. It's Trent's fault now.

This from the fan of the team with the QB who threw a left handed underhand toss from his own goal line for an INT?

I"ll be over here laughing...

The pick by Champ ended up acting like a punt, since the Donks got flagged 15 yards after the play. And the second INT was late in the Panthers game. He was trying to force the ball.

Our offense will be fine, IMO. The numbers produced early by Trent are just the side effect of having to play from behind way too much early on. Why? Because our defense has trouble holding the opposing offense scoreless for one friggin' possession.

If our defense was even half decent, Trent's numbers would be considerably better.

The flipside of that coins says that if our offense was up to par our defense would be much better not having to be on the field over half of the game.

2 way street for this team so far .

It's funny how things change. Back in the Marty days we'd have all been thrilled if our passing game produced 361 yards in the first two games of the season.

You're blaming the offense for the defense being out there so long?

In the Carolina game, the D let the Panthers convert on like 4 3rd and 7's on the SAME drive. That's got 0 to do with the offense. That's got everything to do with our defense not being clutch on 3rd and long.

Of course the offense could and should play better. But we can't rely on them putting up 30 every week.

Here's ESPN saying we are getting our last rites?

oh christ... let the green crying start again



the WHOLE team didn't play well against carolina.





dam man ... let it go

[BigRedChief]

Trent is still DA MAN!

[Chief Fanatic]

Hey Taco, you saw the Real Green last year with a healthy group of receivers, a solid line, and he was looking very comfortable back there, This year he has no one to throw too, so he forces almost all his throws. Take Priest and Tony G and you have got our receivers shut down. NO one else can get seperation, or wants to catch the ball in the rough spots(Morton with alligator arms down the middle again.)

[GreatBarryWordFire]

And Green really isn't supposed to be leading them either. When people think of the Chiefs, they think of Priest Holmes. Then Tony Gonzalez. Then Dante Hall. Then Trent Green.

The supposed big guns aren't doing much either -- Bledsoe couldn't find his ass with two hands and a map, Hasselbeck sucked last week, Brett Favre choked, McNair didn't hit anybody in the red zone, even Delhomme turned the ball over twice.

I'm not pleased with Green's performance, but when you consider that his premier threat in the receiving corps can't even be seen 20 yards downfield, it's going to be tough going.

I can see your points, though, and we're going to see what Green is really made out of if Priest is out.

[Hammock Parties]

Green's the freaking quarterback. It's his job to lead.

Hopefully we beat the Texans and then he breaks out against the Ravens the following week. That would be the perfect recipe for 2-2.

No offense, but this must be one of the silliest things I've read in a long time. It all starts with Trent, dude. He went to the Pro Bowl. He lead the team to victories, made blocks and ran the ball when he had to, has been excellent in ball handling, blah blah blah...

...sure, others might think of Holmes, Gonzo, Hall then Green, but those people don't know the game very well. And they sure don't know our Chiefs.

Hall is not a leader BTW. Hall is an excellent weapon, but nobody thinks of a punt\kick returner as a leader. No, before Trent, Gonzo was the leader. Trent is the leader of this team, make no mistake...

I'm seeing flashes of the leader trying to do to much again.

Agreed, but I'm seeing flashes of the leader HAVING to do to much again. He needs some help from the team, 's all there is too it...

[Chief Fanatic]

Green IS supposed to lead, the QB is always your leader, not a running back not a TE and definitely not a kick returner. He's trying, but who does he have to work with other than Priest and Tony!!!
