Chiefs Fix: Bye Week Blues
This is agonizing, isn’t it? Well, here’s the best the Chiefs blogosphere and MSM can muster for us during the bye week…
Chris over at Arrowhead Pride does a fantastic job breaking down both the defense and the offense and assigning grades. Yep, the defense flunked. He also mentions how 1/3 of people believe in ghosts in his link dump. Seriously, people? And, yes, we have nothing to write about this week. - Arrowhead Pride
Bob Gretz compares our own Herm Edwards to the other second-year coaches around the league. Herm ain’t doing so bad, folks. - Chiefs Official Site
Jason Whitlock is killing me. This guy always has to disagree with the general perception. Man, he’s stubborn. Sometimes J-Whit will go to ridiculous, almost laughable, lengths to prove himself right. This is one of those times. Priest Holmes hurt his freaking neck, dude. Anyone who witnessed what went down with Kevin Everett should know how serious that is. I walked away from college football back in the day because of my knees. Does that make me a quitter? No. Sorry, J, but very few of us love football so much that we would intentionally give up the ability to walk for the game. Unlike Jabba, I actually don’t have a problem with either Larry Johnson or Priest right now. Chalk this column up to bye week boredom. - The Kansas City Star
It’s good to see that Mike Solari is focusing on first-down improvement, but what about third down? I swear to God we have to be the worst third-down team in the history of the NFL. I guess one way to improve on third down, however, is to gain more yardage on both first and second down. - The Kansas City Star
Our buddy Chris and his family, who live near San Diego, have been affected by the fires out there. Please keep them and all of their neighbors in your thoughts and prayers. Yes, even the Chargers themselves. - K.C. Chiefs Fanatic
Three great sites — Acme Packing Company, Green Bay Railbird Central and our own Lombardi Ave –will get you caught up to speed on our next opponent — the Green Bay Packers. I’m actually hoping that they beat the Broncos. That would help us in the division. Plus, that way Favre and Co. would ride into Arrowhead maybe a little overconfident?
Speaking of Brett Favre, he’s never beaten the Chiefs. Ever. I know we all love him, but let’s make his going away present a standing ovation, not a victory. - ESPN
This is basically off topic, but hilarious anyway… Michael Vick is taking out his pain on horses now. Damn. - Our Book of Scrap
Last but not least, this is where I plug my weekly Epic Carnival feature The Main Attraction. This week I’m defining each NFL team’s season through the midway point with a movie. Here’s what I wrote about the Chiefs:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Kansas City Chiefs) - The Chiefs must have their collective memory wiped after each game. Any team that can get smeared by the Houston Texans and then go to San Diego and blow out the Chargers is schizo. Then again, it could have just been the return of Jared Allen. But he’s kind of schizo himself. Weird.
I think you’ll especially enjoy what I have to say about the Dolphins and Rams, and probably the Raiders, too. Anyway, check it out. - Epic Carnival
