AADQ: Brodie Or Damon?

Tough question. I think you go with Brodie Croyle when he returns, because theoretically he gives the Chiefs the best chance to win long term. Damon Huard gives us the better chance right now, but a 35-year-old career clipboard holder shouldn’t be anything more than a stop-gap option at this point. Well, that and Tyler [...]

The Long Road To Respectability

Last Sunday, a momentous event took place at Arrowhead Stadium.
No, it wasn’t Tony Gonzalez and his amazing pursuit of tight end greatness that came oh so close to fruition. And no it wasn’t Herm Edwards deciding to take the chains off of Chan Gailey and allowing him to coach for a change. Those events obviously [...]

As I mentioned last week, I have a new feature over at FOX Sports which will appear every Tuesday and link out to breakdowns for each division. Here is what Broncos blogger Kim from Predominantly Orange had to say about the Chiefs in her in-depth look at the state of the AFC West after Week [...]

Hey, Denver, How Do You Like Our Johnsons?

Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.

A.A.D.Q.: Gonzo Stiffed By Cherm?

So, it appears Tony Gonzalez is a little upset over coming up three yards short of breaking the all-time tight end receiving yards record yesterday. If you ask me, I think Chan Gailey and Herm Edwards should have done a short little TE screen or something late in the game–a safe play that would have [...]

Win #1 – Denver

Well let me just say it is good to get the monkey off the backs of not only the Chiefs but their very loyal fans as well.
Just a couple of points.
If the Chiefs are serious about winning the rest of the year then Damon Huard (for better or worse) is the obvious choice at quarterback even [...]

Branden Albert Injury Update: Hyperextended Elbow

According to the Kansas City Star, Branden Albert has a hyperextended elbow and will likely be out when the Chiefs visit Carolina next Sunday. I’d guess that he’ll be back after the bye week, the same week Brodie Croyle is scheduled back. Until then, we’ll get a good look at Herb Taylor, who filled in [...]

Addict Angles: Just Saying, Jared

WE HAVE THE SAME RECORD AS THE VIKINGS NOW WAS ALL THAT MONEY FOR JARED WORTH IT? – long-time commenter randy5k
Great point, Rando. The Vikings spent a bajillion bucks on Jared Allen, yet they have the same crippling weakness the Chiefs have–shaky quarterback play. Honestly, the One Man Gang hasn’t really been any better than [...]
