The Kansas City Chiefs Suck and That?s a Good Thing - (08/24)

There is no other way to say it: the Chiefs were disgustingly bad in their preseason loss to the Dolphins. The third preseason game is typically the most important. It’s the game where starters tend to play longer, schemes are more true to regular season form, players competing for their jobs tend to play a [...]

Gene Upshaw?s Extremely Underrated Achievement (From a Chiefs Fan) - (08/21)

Okay, I don’t want to get into a sob story, so I’ll offer brief condolences to Gene Upshaw: Gene Upshaw was a tremendous player, a tremendous asset to football, and even though I’m a Chiefs’ fan talking about a former Raider, I recognize greatness when I see it. And Upshaw was great. The reason why I [...]

2009 Chiefs: Fantasy Sleepers and Busts - (08/20)

I made very sure that “Chiefs” and “Fantasy Sleepers and Busts” was separated by a colon, because there is no way I could put the words “2009 Chiefs” and “Fantasy” in the same sentence. However, for all you fantasy football junkies out there, keep in mind that because the Chiefs are so low on everyone’s [...]

Joe Horn - Future Member of the Kansas City Chiefs? - (08/19)

The Atlanta Falcons released wide receiver Joe Horn today, thus granting the 36-year old his wish he’s been asking for since the beginning of training camp.  I’ll ask the question that everyone asks when a name player becomes a free agent: would he fit on our team? Never mind the obvious fact that Horn could ALREADY [...]

Holy Turk McBride, Batman! - (08/18)

I know it’s only preseason. I know defenses and offenses are very vanilla in the preseason. Still, I can confidently say that Turk McBride has been the most pleasant surprise so far for the Chiefs this preseason. Going into the third game of the preseason, McBride now has three sacks. Two of those sacks came [...]

Brodie Croyle Looked Awful - But The Kids Looked Okay - (08/18)

Remember when I said that Brodie Croyle may be the worst video game athlete in history?  Well, it turns out the folks at EA Sports may have known what they were talking about. Man - Croyle looked AWFUL on Saturday night against the Cardinals.  Simply awful.  The old argument has been that Croyle hasn’t had Larry [...]

Brodie Croyle is no Brett Favre - (08/16)

Correction: As one of my readers aptly pointed out, Brett Favre’s contract is not a one-year deal.  I should get my facts straight. My apologies for the mistake. I know all of you are already sick of the Brett Favre coverage. I am too. In fact, I despise myself for even including his name in the [...]

The Kansas City Chiefs - 2009 Madden Style - (08/13)

Like most of you, I had August 12th circled on the calendar around March - the date that the latest edition of Madden dropped in stores.  I’m not cool enough or have enough hookups to score an early copy, plus I have a real job, so I had to wait until after work to pick [...]

Bubble Boys: What Cuts Might the Chiefs Target - (08/12)

The garage sale begins. Anybody willing and ready to buy everyone else’s crap? The Chiefs might. Here are some of the players they could look to target: Jay Feely - I don’t feel particularly comfortable with our current options. Novak reminds me of the last guy picked in kickball that your team might end up getting [...]

Adrian Jones Should Stay; Damion McIntosh Needs to Go - (08/10)

A lot of Chiefs’ fans are very uncomfortable with the way the right side of the offensive line looks, and with good reason. They looked atrocious against the Bears. However, I want to be among the first people to defend Adrian Jones. I have heard a lot of talk about bumping him out of the starting [...]

The Kids are Alright: Croyle, Pollard, and Page Will be Just Fine - (12/18)

First, let me preface by saying that the Chiefs still suck and, regardless of their improving draft position, I still hate watching the Chiefs lose. Still, I’m trying hard to view this season and every single game we play from here on out as an evaluation tool for 2008 and beyond. It would be very easy [...]

This might be the best coaching I?ve ever seen - (12/17)

After watching the Chiefs’ game yesterday, I was strangely satisfied.  Everything went just as it should have.  The Chiefs played well, nobody got hurt, and they still lost the game, keeping their draft status in good shape.  But after closer review, I realized that maybe Herm Edwards is doing the best coaching job of his [...]

Are the Chiefs Daniel LaRusso? - (12/14)

I love the movie “The Karate Kid”.  I simply love it.  I don’t know how much street cred that is going to cost me with the readers of this site, but so be it.  What’s not to love?  It’s a great story, some good characters, the greatest villians of the 80’s (the Cobra Kai) and a [...]

The Chiefs Suck and Carl Peterson is to Blame - (12/14)

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the Blaaaammmmmme Game. It’s the game show where you… YOU… have the chance to throw someone under the bus. And so the blame game begins. The Chiefs suck. They’re not below average. They’re not bad. They flat out suck. We, as fans, are out for blood and who could blame [...]

Eight Questions, Four Each, Between Chiefs, Titans MVN Writers - (12/13)

Recently, Andrew Strickert, Titans MVN writer, exchanged e-mails with Jon and me regarding the upcoming matchup between the Chiefs and Titans.  He asked us the following four questions: The Chiefs have a lot of injuries. Which injured players will be keys for the Chiefs to beat the Titans? How will the loss of those unable to [...]

What if Herm Edwards left? - (12/13)

Yesterday, Bobby Petrino kicked the Atlanta Falcons right in the junk, putting a fitting end to what has to be one of the worst years a professional franchise has ever seen.  Short of Warrick Dunn burning down the Georgia Dome, and then running over owner Arthur Blank’s dog, not much else can go wrong for the [...]

Same old story - (12/11)

Stale.  That’s the best word I can come up with to describe the Chiefs this season.  Stale.  Not boring.  Not terrible.  Not Gawd-awful.  Just stale.  It’s Groundhog Day all over again from 1998.  I went to the Packers’ game this year, and if I closed my eyes, I couldn’t tell the difference between a game at Arrowhead [...]

Chiefs? MVN Reader Justin Puts It Best: This Is Hard to Watch - (12/10)

The Denver Broncos gained 156 yards and scored 2 TDs in their first 2 possessions. The Chiefs didn’t come close to matching those totals in 4 quarters. What happened is actually easy to describe. How it happened is a much different question. It would not be fair to describe this game as a drubbing or [...]

Injuries, Thin Air Could Lead to Long Day for Chiefs vs. Broncos - (12/09)

The only appropriate way to start off this preview, I think, is to look at the Chiefs’ injury report: RB Larry Johnson (OUT) LT Damion McIntosh (OUT) LT Kyle Turley (OUT) RG Rudy Niswanger (IR) LB Donnie Edwards (Q) S Greg Wesley (Q) QB Brodie Croyle (P) LB Napoleon Harris (P) LB Derrick Johnson (P) Ponder that for a moment. Potentially (though unlikely) all [...]

Kolby Smith is no Larry Johnson - (12/06)

My my, how fickle Chiefs’ fans can be. Kolby Smith lights it up for two games and all of a sudden, there is a running back controversy for next season. Laughable. Don’t get me wrong, I am a big Kolby Smith fan. I have been nothing but impressed at how well the kid has run. He seems [...]

Chiefs? Loss to Chargers Prompts More Questions Than Answers - (12/03)

Going into yesterday’s matchup against the Chargers, it did not seem that a loss would accomplish much, other than unofficially eliminating the Chiefs from the playoffs.  However, the Chargers’ 24-10 victory, which gave the Chiefs their fifth loss in a row and put them at 4-8 record-wise, left me asking more questions about the future [...]

Damon Huard Looking to Repeat Magic Against Chargers - (12/01)

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before.  The Chiefs, facing a must-win game, get ready to host the San Diego Chargers with Damon Huard at the helm.   2006, right? They will be asking Huard the same in 2007. The circumstances were a little different last year.  The Chiefs hosted the Chargers early in the year, when [...]

Even Herm Edwards Probably Cannot Figure Out Chiefs After Loss to Raiders - (11/26)

Down 20-17 at home with 4:26 left, and you are positioned at the opponent’s 23 yard line. You have 3 time outs left. It is 4th and 1. Pretty easy decision, right? Not when Dave Rayner is your kicker. Inexplicably still on the roster without any competition after missing several makable field goals in [...]

Chiefs & Raiders May Battle for Double Digit Score - (11/25)

The numbers aren’t pretty.  145-186 and 180-223.  Those are the Points For versus Points Allowed for the Chiefs and Raiders, respectively, going into today’s tilt. Both teams averaging less than 20 points a game.  Both teams with severe offensive line issues.  Both teams potentially having extremely inexperienced QBs see significant action. A lot will be made about [...]

Praying for Priest- Chiefs on Their Knees? - (11/20)

Update: John Clayton of ESPN.com reports that Priest Holmes should make an announcement about his future as early as Wednesday. Bigger Update:  Len Pasquarelli of ESPN.com reports that Priest Holmes is set to announce his retirement at 1:30 PM ET today. Herm Edwards has an awful lot to worry about lately. He has come under [...]
