Chiefs Fix: Just Another Hump Day

AUTHOR: Adam Best | IN: Chiefs | COMMENTS: 7 Comments

  • Our sister site Predominantly Orange has a list of the greatest Chiefs-Broncos games of all time. How many of those games did you go to? How many of those games do you remember? Unfortunately, this upcoming weekend’s clash is about as meaningless of a game as there’s been between the two teams. At least we have our pride at stake, or what’s left of it. Anyway, the list is a must read for all Chiefs and Broncos fans.
  • Arrowhead Pride examines the recent history of the Chiefs-Broncos rivalry, focusing on our last five trips to Investco at Mile High. Man, that game last year was aggravating. It was like the object of the game was to stay out of the endzone at all costs. Yet, we still easily could have won. This year, I’m not sure what our chances are. Recent history is not on our side, and even though Kolby Smith has been pretty steady, he’s still no Larry Johnson.
  • You can also catch A.P.’s Chris over at Warpaint Illustrated now. Not sure this is the Chiefs’ worst offense ever, even though it is pretty bad. Worst offensive coordinator? You won’t find many arguments with that opinion. According to Randy Cross, our offense’s biggest problem is that we don’t play the Chargers every week (that guy acted like 10 points was and offensive explosion for us… put down the crack pipe). Maybe we can get him out of the booth and into Mike Solari’s headset (for those of you who are sarcasm intolerant, that was a joke).
  • It’s a celebration, bitches (calm down, it’s just a Kanye West reference)… the Chiefs and Chiefs fans have the fourth best post-touchdown ritual in the NFL. According to ESPN, anyway. Nothing tops “we’re gonna beat the hell outta YOU… YOU… YOU… YOU, YOU, YOU!” Especially when you throw in the finger pointing at rival fans.
  • Since everybody seems to be talking Chad Pennington, here’s a link to The Jets Blog, our personal favorite J-E-T-S site, with the scoop. Even though many Chiefs fans are already anti-Pennington, I’m all for it. Someone needs to push Brodie Croyle, and it ain’t going to be Damon Huard.
  • Speaking of Brodie Croyle, he is iffy for Sunday. Great. You mean we have to endure Damon Huard yet again? That guy is simply intolerable. As a player I absolutely hate him. Worse than Samie Parker. Worse than Ryan Sims. I don’t hate him as a person, mind you, but as a player I absolutely loathe him. He’s like Elvis Grbac with less upside, not to mention a demeanor and presence that’s even more depressing. More depressing than Leaving Las Vegas, a bad break-up or anything else I can think of, really. If Brodie can’t go, then hopefully we’ll have another Tyler Thigpen audition before the game is all said and done. – Rotowire

    Heh, I saw you said you were leaving as Stoyo's field goal went through the uprights. I told my dad we might as well leave after Elam nailed his kick. He convinced me to stay, Stoyo hits his bomb, and I swear every year he manages to bring this up and rag me about wanting to leave early.That's a great list, I'll never forget my boy Willie Davis running parallel to the goal line and just barely sneaking over before going out of bounds.

    Our Poor Chiefs!!  Tyler Thigpen is injured, so he won't go.  Damn!  I bet hope Croyle plays so we can evaluate him for next year.  He seems so so, so far.  I love our Chiefs rain or shine!!!!!!!  Go Chiefs!!!  Keep up the good work Adam!  What the hell are you going to write about for the rest of the season?  Good Luck!

    Pete, man, that was crazy. We barely were able to see it go through, though, and because there were so many of us leaving and so much space we ran around celebrating like crazy people. That was a great day. I also remember that Willie Davis catch very well.

    Jeremy, I just saw that about Thigpen. Anyway, there will be plenty to write about! I honestly think it is easier when the team isn't playing well and changes are needed. Let's us play mad scientist, like with this DeAngelo Hall thing. We had a ton of fun last year during the draft and free agency, so expect that be the case once again.

    Thanks for reading, fellas

    *Confused* Thigpen's injured? Croyle's playing? I feel like I am entering another dimension… a dimension not only of sight
    and sound but of mind… A journey into a wondrous land of imagination.
    Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

    The link for the best Chiefs-Broncos games has a space in between Predominantly and Orange in its URL.  Could you fix this?

  6. Adam says:

    Fixed. Even our monster staff of three misses stuff sometimes :) Thanks for catching that.

    allot of people need to stop blaming the coaches…lol I remember not long ago that fans were crying about the deff. and blaming the coaches…and low and behold when we actually have tallent on that side of the ball… for some strange reason the coaches are ok again…lol the chiefs need talent people, on the o-line… the old o-line made it possable to throw to lesser rec. and also run the ball…the problem on offense isnt the coaches get it straight… the calls have been changed to allow for a lack of talent on the o-line.
