Kansas City Chiefs

By Chris LB Derrick Johnson strained his hamstring against the Bucs and is out for this weekend's game. That's what I've got for this morning. The Kansas City Chiefs play a rare 3:15 PM central time game this weekend so make sure you come by for the open thread.

By Chris Great game to watch yesterday, wasn't it? I haven't been entertained like that in a long time when watching the Kansas City Chiefs. I'm still waiting to see if patterns or trends of success develop from this game but like DJ said, the Chiefs lost in a good way yesterday. Here's a few things I too...

By UCrawford DE Tamba Hali: Questionable. Just not a factor without Jared Allen on the other side. Right now, just a guy. QB Tyler Thigpen: No idea. Has the athletic skills but must improve dramatically with decision-making and accuracy. A rough, rough project at best.

By Official Arrowhead Pride Parade For those of you following the PARADE's ramble, we've devised a dream of Kansas City becoming the Dadaist, Post Modern, Sports Irony capital of the world. Moe Szyslak: Thanks for the lack of youtube Fox. Republicans, Dadaist Declare War on Art...Chiefs Already Surrender. Chiefs' Nostalgia:

By Ryan Brown Sam, Kansas City Is Tyler Thigpen the worst quarterback in team history? John, Kansas City RB: How about the position they should draft? I don’t follow college football close enough to make an educated guess on who’s a solid prospect right now. Brad, St. Charles

By Ryan Brown Tyler Thigpen is the worst quarterback in the NFL since Steve Grogan was on “Tecmo Bowl”.  Peter King called Thigpen’s decision making horrible.  I think that’s an insult to the word “horrible”.  Thigpen had absolutely no business being on the field yesterday.  I’ve compared him to Popke fr...

By Jon Yoon Chan Gailey has been criticized for not opening up the offense. Why does he need to? What good does it serve to ask Brodie Croyle to drop back on a pass behind an offensive line that clearly was not ready to protect the quarterback? The interior protection was a mess and McIntosh might as well h...

By Jon Yoon Prediction: I said it a few times and I’ll say it again: the success of the Chiefs offense is going to depend on their ability to open up holes in the interior. The Raiders are extremely vulnerable up the middle, but we’ve also seen little from Niswanger or Jones to believe that that they’re ca...

By Jon Yoon This might be the most interesting Raider week in quite some time. Experts claimed that the Chiefs were going to be absolutely terrible in 2008, but they pulled off a solid performance against New England in week one. Experts believed that the Raiders had potential to be a .500 team, but they p...

By Jon Yoon Tomorrow, I will get into a scathing review of some of the things that really bothered me about the Chiefs. Believe me, the list is fairly long. After each game, I’m going to give a brutally honest opinion of what I see and what I believe about the Kansas City Chiefs. As you all know, I strongly sup...

By Jon Yoon What these two quarterbacks bring to the table are two players who still have some very good upside who can develop under the Chiefs without posing any kind of a threat to Croyle’s development. So if Croyle is a disaster halfway through the season, the Chiefs may not hesitate to give Gray or S...

Observing the Chiefs' practice, it's very easy to see there are no hang-ups or worries of pending failure. The only focus is competition. Edwards says training camp has been much more productive than he had hoped, and he was even more encouraged after the Chiefs' promising play in the prese...

By Ryan Brown However, in the “art imitates life” section of the game, Croyle did manage to get hurt halfway through the first game against New England, providing a glimpse of of our old friend, Damon Huard.  Just like always, Huard came in, calmed everything down, and led the team on a drive for a field go...

By Jon Yoon That being said, that doesn’t mean that they deserve everything they get. There’s a line to be drawn. Here are some examples of where that line could be drawn: You’re not a real fan if you spend the entire game heckling or fighting other fans and don’t watch a single minute of the game. If you’re g...

By Chris I am pleased to be able to give you another fantastic look into the NFL by Kansas City Chiefs fullback Chris Manderino. Chris has been kind enough to stop by again and give us an insider's view of the NFL off-season. Many, many thanks to Chris for answering our questions and for his hard work on t...

By Direckshun Some of them have legitimate shots to make this team. Ah, who are we kidding? LOADS of them could make this team. Others have been signed to be warm bodies for training camp. Others have been undetermined as of yet. 2008 UDFAs the Chiefs have signed:

By Jon Yoon Charles’ role with the Chiefs: We’re going to change the order of this evaluation simply because we can’t discuss Charles’ upside or downside until we understand what role he is expected to play. The argument is that if the Chiefs already have LJ, why do they need a starting RB? And if the Chi...

By Chris Here is the post-draft press conference transcript from Carl Peterson and Herm Edwards. Could this line get any more "Herm" -- "We stuck mainly to our board and have players who can compete at a lot of different positions." I love it Herm. Keep it coming.

By Ryan Brown 1:56 p.m. - The rumored trade is the Chiefs send their #5 pick to New Orleans for their #10 pick, left tackle Jammal Brown, and a second or third-round pick.  If this happens, then all is forgiven for the Jared Allen fiasco.  Add Brown, draft Brendan Albert with the #10 pick, and you have your new J...

By Jon Yoon Well, the trade is now official. Jared Allen is now a Viking and Carl Peterson, sadly, is still running the show for the Chiefs. If there’s any silver lining to this debacle, it’s that Carl Peterson may have put his entire career on the line for a move that has a very good chance of being an absolu...

By Chris The Cowboys are selling the naming rights to their new stadium. I shuddered last February when the Chiefs acquired the naming rights to Arrowhead Stadium from the City of Kansas City and there was casual talk of giving the stadium a corporate sponsor.

By Ryan Brown Well, there is the draft to look forward to. The issue is that most of the Chiefs corners were active back when the Chiefs were the Dallas Texans, and the line needs work. It looks like Carl Peterson is focusing on getting those seven picks to fill the holes. At least Herm Edwards will tell them th...

By Chris Ethan Kelley, Browns. Age: 28 -- His future is in limbo in Cleveland for the time being. He's an unrestricted free agent who had who had post-season knee surgery. Indications are that the Brows will let him test the free agent waters. The willingness of the Browns to let him go (they were ranked 2...

By Chris Jared Allen has publicly stated that if he does not a receive a long-term contract offer this off-season that he will never play long-term in Kansas City. Carl Peterson has also publicly stated that he'll do pretty much anything to keep Jared Allen. I believe Carl Peterson and I believe Jare...

By Ryan Brown Now with Derrick Johnson and Donnie Edwards, the Chiefs are almost there.  They need one more linebacker not named Napoleon Harris to make their defensive front seven a devastating unit.  Let’s take a look at potential free agents for the linebacker position.

By Ryan Brown Someone wrote me and asked me what I wasn’t addressing what they considered the Chiefs’ biggest need this off-season - a reliable quarterback.  There are two reasons: Drew Henson UFA Minnesota Vikings - only if he’s willing to play first base for the Royals Monday-Saturday.  I didn’t know...

By Ryan Brown So before you bemoan the fact that Kansas City has lost seven in a row, think about it - you are watching sheer genius right now.  Herm Edwards is giving a virtuoso performance on how to lose a game, but keep it close.  Next week, if we run Spurgeon Wynn out at starting quarterback, then you can re...

By Jon Yoon I guarantee that LJ will leave no doubt in 2008 why he is getting paid the big bucks. 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 bee...

By hoosierteacher With Edwards out KC will have to rely on the pass rush of the front four.  This is one area that KC can feel good about.  With Edwards in, KC could blitz the other OLB here and there.  Right now they must depend on the front four for all of their pressure.
