The season is dead, but the teamÆs pulse is still pumping.á If fans only care about outcomes, then they were walking for the exits on the Kansas City ChiefÆs season weeks ago.á However, a team with nothing left to play for but pride can be a very scary team to face for an organization under the pressure of earning a playoff birth. When the Chiefs march into Denver to face the Broncos, the ...

Kansas CityÆs games have had decreasing importance over recent weeks, but every game is vitally important to the seasons yet to come.á In alignment with Christmas spirit, Kansas City fans remember fondly the seasons past, given their success through the nineties, haunted by the season present, but fighting to show fans hope for seasons yet to come.á Looking to the future, there are three key notes regarding the Week 16 matchup against ...

I like the 3-4 defense. I like how creative a team can be with its blitzes. á I like having more playmakers on the field at the linebacker spot. á I like rangy, athletic linebackers who can lay a hit or make a pick with soft hands. á I like the zone-blitz packages that rattle young quarterbacks. á I like the 3-4 defense when it's done well. Kansas City does not play the 3-4 well. á When ...

When a team comes off a loss like the Kansas City Chiefs suffered in week 13, it may appear odd to point out one position as a problem area.  This is especially true because this is not a (soon to be popular) criticism of Matt Cassel and the quarterback situation. Rather, this is a small area of concern for a team that has a large number of problems, but the absurdity of ...

Fallen from the early glory of a 6-0 start, the Denver Broncos are looking to right the ship after losing four of their last five. Despite a wretched performance against the San Diego Chargers in Week 12, the Kansas City Chiefs have won two of their last three and look to build on what theyÆve done right. The two teams square off in Week 13, with a number of intriguing matchups taking ...

á Surprise!á Kansas City is here to contend.á It is only one win.á No, wait, itÆs two wins in a rowàisnÆt that, dare I say it?á A winning streak!?á While the Pittsburgh Steelers were hampered as the heart of their defense, safety Troy Polomalu sat out due to injury, it was still clear that no one believed the Chiefs had a chance to win against the reigning Super Bowl Champions. With a large ...

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off of very different 2008 seasons.á The Steelers, of course, were the Super Bowl Champions, whereas Kansas City finished with only two wins and their second consecutive top-five pick in the draft.á A dichotomous matchup between these two teams takes place in week 11 of the NFL season.á The Steelers have ôstruggledö to a mark of 6-3, in a relative downward spiral ...

What happened? Unpopular, egomaniacal, and talented, such are the thoughts and perceptions of Larry Johnson as he departs Kansas City.á To most Chiefs fans it appeared that Johnson never quite enjoyed playing in Kansas City.á Perhaps Kansas City was not the problem, as one can question if LJ truly enjoys the game of football.á Even when the media lauded LJ as being ôgood,ö or, ôquiet,ö all this meant was a ...

Kansas City had a winnable matchup in week nine as they faced a struggling Jacksonville team that has been largely one-dimensional on offense and has uncharacteristically struggled on defense.á The Jaguars have lacked pass rush, accumulating only five sacks on the year going into the matchup with KC, and ranked 26th in team pass defense.á So it was disappointing to see Kansas City behind 17-6 entering the fourth quarter.á When the Jaguars ...

2+2=5? That is inaccurate. Unfortunately, so is quarterback Matt Cassel. It has been hard to criticize Cassel, who came into the season under scrutiny for being the beneficiary of a strong team and facing unrealistic expectations. á He has played behind arguably the worst pass protection in the NFL. Prior to Week Seven, he had shown great improvisational ability when the pocket collapsed and thrown a fair number of touchdowns while keeping the ...
