The Chiefs hire hot new offensive mind to his first head coaching job. This past offseason? No, the year was 1983 and the coach in question was John Mackovic. He lasted three years as head coach with one playoff appearance. Why did he fail? Well, the reasons were numerous, but a primary reason was hubris. [...]
We are officially at the half-way point of the Chiefs’ season. The last quarter did see us pull off a much needed win. The win against an imploding Redskins team was ugly, but we’ll take any win at this point. The Dallas game was a highlight, but the blowout loss to Jacksonville was a lowlight. [...]
This year is marked by the current regime trying to identify their core players. So, I thought I would give it my shot and toss it out to everyone for comments.
What is a core player? I am defining a core player as a player that will be a very good player that should be around [...]
Every time a Carl/Herm draft pick gets cut or traded, some Chief fans use that event to piss on the previous regime and/or laud Pioli. Every transaction is viewed through the Pioli good, Carl bad filter. Frankly, it gets a bit old, but is it fair? Were the Carl/Herm drafts that much worse than the [...]

As a fan, we have a right to grumble. It seems to be hard-wired into a fan DNA. However, there are fair and unfair [...]
Well the first brutal quarter of the Chiefs’ season has come to a close. The Giant’s game makes two consecutive games where the Chiefs were not competitive In reality, we were only truly competitive against a poor Raiders team. The Ravens game was only close due to a couple of big plays by the defense [...]
Well, it took an 0-3 start and an epic fail performance from our offensive line against Philly to start dissension in the fan base. Already the sniping and name calling has started. This is looking to be a very rough first half of the season. The danger of Haley losing the player’s respect and attention [...]
That pretty much summed up my reaction to the Raider game. It was a game we dominated but didn’t win. For a young team, this is an especially brutal result.
There were many missed opportunities. Flowers’ sure pick six that went right through his hands was a prime example. However, there was a major pair of [...]
