I was going to wait till later to drop this, but with the Browns going real hard after Pioli and other teams looking for a GM, we may have to move faster than we had hoped. Five names have been linked to the Chief’s GM job. They are: Scott Pioli (Pats VP of Personnel), George [...]

OK Addicts, the Bengals game was a stink bomb for the ages. Now, on to the fun part. We have a golden opportunity in front of us. It is not often that there is a chance to put a stamp on an organization. Clark Hunt has that chance. This is his defining moment. The GM [...]

Well Addicts, same old same old with the Miami game. Not much to discuss on that topic. We have seen that act before. A gritty performance and a second half collapse. Thigpen seems stuck in his development. He needs to stop locking in on a receiver (Tony G usually) and start spreading the ball around. [...]

We played last Sunday. Doesn’t that seem like ages ago? Well Addicts the King is dead and I am still in a state of shock. We all knew this was coming in the next year plus, but the timing is shocking. Carl had a good run in the 90’s. We should celebrate his accomplishments and [...]

It seems to be a story that is getting long in the tooth. Decent start, not a good second half and a close loss. The lack of effective half-time adjustments is a damning indictment of the current coaching regime. Right now, Thigpen has hit a plateau in his development. I am still waiting for him [...]

It was nice to see the Chiefs pull a win out against the Raiders. Thigpen bounced back and showed some poise. Tony G was the ultimate pro, the defense showed some heart and LJ drove the final nail in the coffin. It was a very positive development to see us take the ball with under [...]

I want to tell you the tale of two quarterbacks. Quarterback A and Quarterback B. Quarterback A was a pocket passer with a big arm, but a fragile body. Quarterback B has a sturdier body, a good arm and good running ability.
Last year, Quarterback A was 0-6 as a starting quarterback guiding a poor team [...]

Well Addicts, you can’t polish that turd of a performance. For this to happen in a winnable game is disgusting. The only positive part is that Thigpen finally had a bad game. I do not think you can really find out what you have in a quarterback until he has some success then has a bad game. Now, we [...]

This is a good time to take a look at where our needs appear to be looking towards the 2009 Draft. For this exercise, I am going to set some ground rules for the discussion. A change in any of these ground rules wold force a reevaluation of the draft. 1. The current regime stays [...]
