Chiefs Get First Whack At Reinstated Vick
The Chiefs get the first look, er, whack at Vick.
The fallout from the Michael Vick ruling is pretty interesting. For the Chiefs, at least. From Intentional Foul (big thanks for the pic, too):
It’s been revealed that Roger Goodell will be allowing Michael Vick to reenter his National Football League in the third week of the regular season. The Philadelphia Eagles will be hosting the Kansas City Chiefs on Vick’s first game back since his incarceration, giving offensive coordinator-embattled Todd Haley with even more to worry about besides the ghost of Jim Johnson and his legacy of incredible blitzing defenses he kindly left behind.
The good news? The game isn’t Philly’s home opener. The bad news? I think the rowdy Philly crowd might be more psyched for Vick’s first game than the Eagles’ first one. Like that crowd needs to be any rowdier. I’m going to go ahead and hope that this won’t be Matt Cassel’s first game bac. Man, that would be rough. Then again, maybe PETA will buy a bunch of tickets and root for our Chiefs?
As far as stopping Vick goes, that’s an interesting proposition. For starters, we have no clue how they are going to use him in the regular season. OK, so we sorta have a clue, but not much of one. On the other hand, Vick promises to be rusty. It’s hard to say what we’ll see from Vick, and whether or not we’ll be able to keep him in check.
This gives us another thing to watch tonight, because when Vick takes the field against the Jets tonight it will be the last game action he sees until we visit town. So, let’s keep an eye on Vick and go out there and beat the Rams (even though it doesn’t really matter).
By GOD I cant take it anymore. Preseason or no the Chiefs SUCK! The only way we can score a touchdown is if the defense does it for us. I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE!
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:39 pmwould someone please tell me why I should be optimistic about these bozo’s?
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:49 pmRebuilding year but it does seem like the rebuilders know what the hell they are doing so I guess I should just enjoy the season with that in mind but man its tough.
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:04 pmLooks like Todd did the same thing I did during the Rams game. Scooped his eyes out with a spoon. Wonder who he’ll fire this week?
Pathetic
September 4th, 2009 at 10:08 amWhen Vick is in the game, the one thing I hope I don’t see is our defense doggin’ it. I want to see us hounding the guy all day long.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:10 amIf I recall correctly our Chiefs shut Vick and the Falcons down big time.. Does anyone think we will see alot of Vick during the Philly game? I sure dont.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:29 amI don’t know how much Vick will play but I could see where he might be brought in to run a flea flicker.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:34 amWithout cassel or flowers we still completely dominated the first have against rams starters especially on defense. How is this not good news? Oh to bad our third and second string suck? Oh wait its because they are third and second string!
September 4th, 2009 at 1:48 pmhalf* damn auto correction.
September 4th, 2009 at 1:49 pmbecause…Haley took over the play calling and, 4 quarters, 3 FGs. And the Rams pulled their starters a lot earlier than we did.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:29 pmyeh i guess two penalties keeping us from a touchdown had nothing to do with it either in the first half?
September 4th, 2009 at 4:44 pmhey at least we are consistent. oh wait, consistently bad is a BAD thing huh…
