PO’ed About Chiefs
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 4.
Kansas City Chiefs (1-3):
Looking Back: The Chiefs must have talked to the Miami Dolphins last week after they stunned New England because the Chiefs came into the game with the right mindset. It appears that they found their answer at QB for now. They went back to Damon Huard (21-28, 160 yards, 1 TD), and it paid dividends for them. He didn’t have the most impressive game, but they got the win, and Herm Edwards gets to keep his job for now. Larry Johnson was like a little kid on Christmas, and Derrick Johnson was like a bear raiding a large campsite with 5 tackles, a forced fumble, and an interception. I’m sure that Jay Cutler was having nightmares about him last night. The Broncos had nearly 70 more total yards than the Chiefs, but the Chiefs managed to keep them out of the endzone, and that was the difference maker. That put an end to their 12-game losing streak and it makes them the best team in Missouri. There’s a reason to crack open a cold one!
Looking Forward: They head east next week to play the Carolina Panthers (3-1). A boost in confidence may help keep the game close, but the Panthers should come out victorious in this one. Jake Delhomme is a good QB, but sometimes he can let his emotions get the best of him. Earlier this season, he was sacked five times and had three forced fumbles against the Vikings. If the Chiefs can frustrate Delhomme like they did Cutler, then they’ve got a shot at winning. Major questions will come up over the next couple of weeks as to who will finish the season as the Chiefs QB. Will it be Huard if he continues to play well, or will Brodie Croyle get his job back when he returns from injury? Either way, I’m sure the Chiefs don’t want to fall to far down in the draft. After all, they’re not playoff contenders this year.
Head over there to get the full AFC West scoop.
Meanwhile, in my article I muster the courage to give Herm Edwards a compliment. OK, well, at least a left-handed compliment. King Carl was not so lucky. From FOX:
Herm Edwards actually called a decent game Sunday. The problem is that it took the Preacher 12 consecutive NFL Sundays to give his Red and Gold congregation a service worth showing up for. I’m surprised notoriously cheap Chiefs GM Carl Peterson wasn’t stalking the Arrowhead aisles with a donations basket.
The rest is about the two completely worthless NFL teams in Ohio. Check it out, as you might actually enjoy me bagging on a state other than our own (well, at least for Missourians) for once.
