The Chiefs probably thought I forgot about blogging about them and/or that I was letting them off the hook. Yeah, because I'm sure that the folks in the Chiefs organization were just hanging on the every word of an online "journalist" in Iowa with a dozen or so readers. Well you never know. Stranger things have happened. And of course I hadn't forgotten about them. Just been sitting back watching the crazy rollercoaster ride.
It's just entirely too difficult to tell exactly what direction they are going in this year. I thought for sure they understood that if they kept losing that they would be in the running for that first round draft pick. Then they blew that when they started winning. Okay...fine...whatever. But how do you lose to the Broncos being led by Mr. Preacher Man? As if it wasn't bad enough that we already have "alleged" Chiefs' fans jumping on his bandwagon (I won't mention any names because he already knows he's wrong for that) KC had to add fuel to the fire by losing to him.
Then there was that game against the Steelers where they gave us false hope. Were they really going to take the former Super Bowl champs down to the wire? Just the fact that they held them to 13 points should be somewhat of an accomplishment. Just think...if Kansas City would have had a healthy Jamal Charles and Tony Moeaki then they probably could have pulled it out. Coulda woulda shoulda...
The game that got me was playing the Bears in Chicago. KC only mustered 10 points and yet that was good enough to be Chicago in Chicago. Of course the only reason being that the Bears have a back-up quarterback that's actually worse than the Chiefs' back-up QB. At least our fanbase has a reason not to expect much from our team this season with all the injuries that have decimated our roster. The Bears really have it bad when it's just a quarterback that goes down to make them play terrible. You would think they were the Colts from this year or something.
I guess there was a game today? Apparently the Chiefs had to go up against the Jets in New York? Yeah...that went pretty well. A 37-10 drubbing. I'm just wondering how long it will be before Coach Haley finally decides that the Palko kid isn't the answer either then go ahead and give Rick Stanzi the rock. It sucks that he's an U of Iowa product, but the other one on that squad seemed to be doing quite alright. Might as well give Stanzi a go. Got nothing else to lose.
I just noticed that the next game on the schedule is Green Bay at Kansas City. We can pretty much already chalk that one up for another blowout. How sweet would it be if the Chiefs were the one team that thwarted the Packers chance at a perfect season though? Yeah...because that'll happen. I'll just plan on another Sunday relaxing rather than getting my blood pressure worked up for nothing even if the game is televised. At this point, I just wish next season would hurry up and get here...
