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 [...]

Mike Solari Must Go: Colts Game is the Last Straw - (11/18)

I’ve had it. I’m fed up with this abomination of an offensive coaching staff. How can you explain a team losing a game that they completely dominated on defense? How do you explain the Chiefs’ complete inability to score points on offense, considering that everybody looked pretty sharp on offense? What is the excuse for [...]

If Chiefs Had Any Chance to Beat Colts, It?s This Week - (11/17)

This week, my examination of the opponent’s injury report took me a lot longer than usual.  I kept getting confused between the injury report and the active roster because the Colts’ injury list is quite extensive:  7 players on IR, and 11 players questionable. These aren’t just third-stringers on the list either.  All-Pros, starting players, significant [...]

Brodie Croyle?s Spectacular Play Overshadowed by Moronic Offensive Coordinator - (11/14)

Okay, let me preface this blog by stating the obvious: Herm Edwards’ stubborn refusal to pull Damon Huard from a game he was single-handedly losing cost the Chiefs the Broncos game, and very well may have cost the Chiefs the season. I could go on and on about this, but Joe Posnanski summed it up [...]

The Brodie Croyle Era Begins in KC in Terrible Loss - (11/11)

You could see it coming all throughout the first half.  Opportunity after opportunity blown.  Pass after pass overthrown.  The defense bending and bending, but not quite breaking. And then everything broke. What was an 8-6 lead at halftime suddenly, shockingly became a 20-8 deficit after just a minute and a half.  Damon Huard, who was anointed the [...]

Chiefs? Offense Must Perform Against Denver, Or the Season Is Over - (11/09)

I am going to put this bluntly- if the Kansas City offense does not score at least 20 points against Denver on Sunday, then the Chiefs can start preparing for next year.  It does not matter if they win 10-0, 14-3, or 19-6; if the Chiefs do not score 20, their season is over. It does [...]

Larry Johnson Out for Season? I Have My Doubts - (11/06)

A big nod to Chris at Arrowhead Pride, who dug up this story from Colorado:  Larry Johnson may be done for the year. According to MyFox31 Colorado,  Johnson suffered a broken bone in his foot.  While his injury appeared to be more serious than the foot sprain officially disclosed by the team, a broken foot was [...]

Huard Still Starting? Why Herm?s Youth-Aversion Cost the Chiefs a Football Game - (11/04)

Here’s the frustrating thing: the Chiefs could have and should have won against a very good Green Bay Packers football team. They didn’t. That is far more frustrating to me than if the Chiefs were simply lousy. What’s worse? The reasons why the Chiefs lost today are the same exact reasons I’ve claimed the Chiefs [...]

Chiefs Lose Their Most Disappointing Game of Season to Packers - (11/04)

Who woulda thunk?  The Chiefs, for all practical purposes, lost Dwayne Bowe early in the game with an injury.  They then lost Larry Johnson in the middle of the fourth quarter with what looked like a pretty severe ankle injury.  Even with LJ, the running game could not get anything going. Yet the Chiefs were able [...]

Chiefs Must Stop? Ryan Grant? - (11/04)

Obviously, the Colts-Patriots matchup is the end-all be-all of NFL matchups this week.  But as my colleague at Packers-MVN notes, Chiefs-Packers is no slouch of a game either.  Both teams are scrapping to stay atop of their divisions, so a win today has large implications for either team. Naturally, such a big game means the focus [...]

Are the Chiefs Really Overachieving? - (11/01)

I double-apologize for piggy-backing on Jon’s post which piggy-backed on Bill Williamson’s column on MSNBC. However, Mr. Williamson’s column brings up a theme which keeps festering in my head and which I can no longer ignore. To quote: Many expected the Chiefs to flounder all season long and scuffle to win five games with [...]
