Chiefs Top Three In Attendance

AUTHOR: Blog Z | IN: Fanzone/Tailgating | COMMENTS: 11 Comments

I was happy to see that us Chiefs fans stay loyal to a team that went 4-12. The two other teams in the top three were the Redskins (have the largest stadium in the league) and the Giants (Super Bowl Champs). The team in fourth place was the New York Jets. Either we are die-hards or delusional lunatics, but I don’t care because I LOVE GOING TO ARROWHEAD STADIUM!

Rank
Team
Attendance

1
Washington Redskins
711,471

2
New York Giants

3
Kansas City Chiefs

The Redskins, who have the league’s largest stadium, FedEx Field, led in regular-season home paid attendance for the eighth consecutive season. The Redskins drew 711,471, an NFL [...]

A Case Of The "What Ifs"

AUTHOR: stevenh | IN: Chiefs | COMMENTS: 19 Comments

I was thinking the other day during lunch-what if Jake Long does fall to the Chiefs at number 5? I smiled, took another bite of my sandwich and swallowed knowing that after Long’s name was announced on April 26th the Chiefs offensive line woes would be well on its way to being fixed. Then, just as I was going in for another scrumptious piece of ham and cheese on white, another thought dare entered my mind. What if the Chiefs don’t get Jake Long? My stomach turned sour, I couldn’t finish the sandwich, [...]

Say Hello, D-Bo

90 catches, 1,300 yards, Super Bowl, and the Pro Bowl! I think three of those things could easily happen.

The Blueprint 3: The Hard Call

AUTHOR: Adam Best | IN: Draft, Rumors | COMMENTS: 69 Comments

After two previous editions of “The Blueprint,” here is the scenario I laid out for “The Blueprint 3.” Keep in mind that trades are very hard to pull off in the top five, so a no-trade stipulation is also part of the scenario:

Team
1st Round

1. Miami Dolphins – OT Jake Long, Michigan

2. St. Louis Rams – DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU

3. Atlanta Falcons – QB Matt Ryan, Boston College

4. Oakland Raiders – DT Sedrick Ellis, USC

5. Kansas City Chiefs – RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas

Now, some of you have suggested that this scenario is simply an exercise and is all but impossible. [...]

McShay Must Read A.A.

AUTHOR: Adam Best | IN: Draft | COMMENTS: 28 Comments

Here’s something from Todd McShay backing up my latest mock that I chatjacked. Jake Long ain’t gonna make it to the Chiefs, folks. From ESPN:
 matt, philly, pa: Since nobody thinks Jake Long is a true Left Tackle, do you think the Chiefs would be better off drafting Dorsey, Ryan, or even Clady if they were available at No. 5?
 Todd McShay: I think he is, some maybe I am nobody. I know some people have mentioned concerns, but I do not share them. In fact, the closer we gert to Draft day, the more it makes sense to me that the [...]

Reader Request: Brian Brohm

AUTHOR: Adam Best | IN: Draft, Fanzone/Tailgating | COMMENTS: 37 Comments

At the request of one of our favorite readers, Dave, here is the scoop on ex-Lousiville signal caller Brian Brohm (I really hate Louisville today, by the way…destroyed my bracket last night…not happy). Dave prefers Brohm to the other quarterbacks in this draft class, most notably Matt Ryan, and wanted us to take a look. Trying to be objective as we can, we are doing just that. Take a long hard look, Chiefs fans, he could end up being a Chief.
(By the way, if there is a player you want featured like this, or if you have something to say, [...]

Arrowhead Addict's Pre-TB3 Mock

AUTHOR: Adam Best | IN: Draft | COMMENTS: 85 Comments

I’ve already gotten a lot of flak on this mock, so I wanted to make an introductory statement. (By the way, both flak or smack are totally cool. But, remember, if you fire at us over here at A.A., you better duck and yell “incoming.” )
Yes, this is an exercise of some sorts, leading up to “The Blueprint 3.” But who’s to say that it couldn’t happen. I want to give Chiefs fans different looks and prepare them for every scenario, that way they aren’t shocked on draft day.
Listen people, there are seven elite players in this draft. Any [...]
