Chiefs: "We think the roster is good enough. We improved this team through free agency and did quite a bit of spending, whether it was contract extensions or the signing of other players. Time will tell if it was enough."

--Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli.

Saints: "The growing pains will pay off in the end. I believe in our players and coaches, and I believe in the scheme. Unless something out of the sky falls, I'm not going to change in that regard."

ESPN Preview
Kansas City Chiefs vs. New Orleans Saints - Preview - September 23, 2012 - ESPN (http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/nflpreview?gameId=320923018)

The New Orleans Saints are 0-2 for the first time since dropping their first four games of 2007, due in large part to a defense that's surprisingly been the worst in the NFL.

A home matchup Sunday with the winless Kansas City Chiefs, who also have struggled to stop opponents, could be just what New Orleans needs to get things turned around.

There seemed little doubt that the Saints would struggle at times with coach Sean Payton suspended for the year for his role in the team's bounty scandal, but most observers figured they would suffer more on offense considering that's his specialty. Instead, a defense led by highly regarded coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has been the biggest culprit in the slow start.

The Saints' 75 points allowed are tied -- with Kansas City -- for the highest total through two weeks. New Orleans was victimized for 320 yards passing and two touchdowns by Washington's Robert Griffin in his NFL debut in Week 1, then gave up 486 yards to Carolina in a 35-27 loss last Sunday.

Spagnuolo, the former St. Louis head coach and architect of the New York Giants defense that tormented Tom Brady and the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, insisted that New Orleans' defense is bound to improve.

"The growing pains will pay off in the end," said Spagnuolo, who joined the team in January. "I believe in our players and our coaches, and I believe in the scheme. And unless something out of the sky falls, I'm not going to change in that regard."

The Saints are last in the league in overall defense at 461.0 yards per game and rushing defense at 186.0. New Orleans had trouble with the mobility of Griffin and Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who combined to rush for 113 yards.

This week's matchup won't provide nearly the same challenge in that regard, as Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel doesn't boast that level of athleticism.

The gameplan for Cassel and the Chiefs could be heavy on running plays. Kansas City is averaging 151.0 yards on the ground, fifth in the league, and seems likely to try to take advantage of New Orleans' problems with stopping the run.

The Chiefs averaged 6.3 yards per carry in Week 2 --tops in the league -- in last Sunday's 35-17 defeat to Buffalo. Jamaal Charles dinged up his reconstructed left knee and had only six carries for three yards, but he's expected to play Sunday.

The Saints offense, meanwhile, will surely continue to rely on Drew Brees and the passing game. They've had 101 pass attempts compared to 37 rushing, though Pierre Thomas did run for 110 yards on nine carries last week.

"Unfortunately, we've done some things in these past two games that have set us back," said Brees, who has passed for 664 yards but thrown four interceptions to go with four touchdowns. "The important thing is recognizing what those things are. I feel like we have that.

"Now it's just a matter of getting the extra break, having things go your way, and getting on a win streak. We've done a great job of doing that here in the past."

While New Orleans has lost its games by eight points apiece, the Chiefs have been outscored by 34 overall. They didn't manage a touchdown last week until 6:26 remained in falling to 0-2 for the sixth time in seven years.

"I don't know if it's a must-win, but we'll look at it as a must-win because we want to win it," coach Romeo Crennel said of Sunday's matchup. "We won't fall off the Earth if we lose, but I won't tell them that because I want there to be a sense of urgency."

Cassel threw for 301 yards against Buffalo, but a good chunk of that came with Kansas City behind by a big margin.

"The good thing, if there is a good thing, is that there are 14 games left," Cassel said. "We're going to do everything that we can to be critical of ourselves, evaluate ourselves and get better as we move forward."

New Orleans has won the last two meetings in the series, taking the most recent one 30-20 at Kansas City on Nov. 16, 2008. The Chiefs' Dwayne Bowe had two touchdown receptions, but Brees passed foe 266 yards and Thomas ran for 88 and a score.

[AussieChiefsFan]

Well... this is one we need.

[tornadospotter]

:chiefs3::dt:CHIEFS! Go Chiefs! Win this one and all will be better in the nation.

[Chiefster]

Well... this is one we need.
Yup we need a number in the "win" column. :bananen_smilies046:

[dl89]

Expect less pressure on Cassel on this game, which may give us a chance. Brees is bound to bounce back though. Thanks for making that sentence weird, alliteration.

[Eydugstr]

Yup we need a number in the "win" column. :bananen_smilies046:

If the Chiefs' D show up today and disrupt Brees, we got a shot. If we won today, and handed NO an 0-3 start...

[matthewschiefs]

Go Chiefs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bike]

Go Chiefs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with this! I hope they begin the turn-around today.

[NKChiefs]

Go' Chiefs!! Let's get that W!

[bricooper78]

This is the shot at winning we need, you HAVE to beat teams that are ailing ducks, and the Aint's are having a hard time quacking!!!



C'mon Chiefs :chiefs: Lets GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Lets see if the D decides to play today

[matthewschiefs]

once again can't get a 3rd down stop

[bricooper78]

That is why I'm so glad to see Sproles not in SD. dang that guy is quick

[matthewschiefs]

guess the d doesn't want to play today either anther long day ahead

[brdempsey69]

Sorry Chiefs fans.....but it DON'T look good.

[bricooper78]

and I knew to keep Brees my starter in fantasy.... yipes.
I have this pegged as a high scoring game tho, I said i have most everyone on offense on both teams on fantasy today.. this is what we should expect, but we need to throw the ball, and keep pace with them, their defense is reeling, we can do it

[loyalchief91]

Speechless.

[KCraised]

[QUOTE=loyalchief91;265797]Speechless.[/QUOTE

They are pathetic

[matthewschiefs]

Offense looks good so far now FINISH this drive

[brdempsey69]

It's not over, yet. But they better get it turned around...RIGHT NOW!!!

[bricooper78]

yep! we need to keep pace, this is going to be a long and high scoring game

[brdempsey69]

Charles is start to look to be getting into the groove.

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

My Boy Dex!:chiefs:

[matthewschiefs]

Just can't finish drives

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

Hey a Baldwin sighting

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

Should of just dumped it down to Hillis, No one was on him after he came out the backfield

[bricooper78]

My Boy Dex!:chiefs:

Yea, the questionable, i sat him.... aaaaargh :whipping1: bad me, bad me :lol:

Hey guys, at least we got points on an opening drive! That is an improvement! :punk:
Maybe this dog CAN hunt...

[Bike]

Should of just dumped it down to Hillis, No one was on him after he came out the backfield
I saw the same thing. Cassel just can't read.

[DLB45424]

yea seemed like they were pressing for the TD, but the D needs to step up now.

[matthewschiefs]

lets see how long the d can make them take to score again

[brdempsey69]

lets see how long the d can make them take to score again

As Vince Lombardi once said "If some guy is running down the street with everything you own, you'd better STOP him".

The Chiefs D needs to stop them, now.

[matthewschiefs]

Ok 3rd down GET THEM OFF THE FIELD D

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

Finally getting a little pressure.

[matthewschiefs]

Just can't finish on offense or defense right now

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

Jesus....

[brdempsey69]

Here we go, again. Can't stop them on 3rd and long. Inexcusable.

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

Come The **** On

[matthewschiefs]

How many 3rd downs can we give up JEEZE

[matthewschiefs]

We might win this one

[bricooper78]

that should be a 3rd down stop *crosses fingers*

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

If I was a terrorist all they would have to do to get me crack is make me watch KC play defense, This is the new waterboarding

[bricooper78]

Oh thank God they didn't move

[brdempsey69]

Good tackle by Berry to stop Graham short of the 1st.

[Lord-Chiefy]

well if we dont score here..it means trouble.

[Lord-Chiefy]

get wylie in there...arenas is too slow.

[brdempsey69]

Now it's up to the Offense to take advantage of their good fortune, while it's still a ball game.

[brdempsey69]

3 and out. NOT GOOD!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg cassell.. can u telegraph that pass anymore?

[matthewschiefs]

great now a 3 and out that might be ball game unless the d actualy makes a play

[Bike]

Cassel overthrows - again.

[DLB45424]

he didn't even look anywhere else

[loyalchief91]

Idk what to say.

[Bike]

he didn't even look anywhere else
He didn't on the Baldwin TD attempt either. Just not a very good QB.

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

Where was Breaston, Bowe? Trying to throw a high ball to a 5'8 McCluster nice Cassel

[matthewschiefs]

Sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

DJ.. nice sack

[bricooper78]

Yyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

COME ON D FINISH it

[Lord-Chiefy]

yes..a defensive stop.....come on matt get er done.

[bricooper78]

The group to the ball tackling is coming along. That looks better. Glad to see that.

#SignsOfLife lol

[brdempsey69]

Finally, a 3rd down stop. FINALLY!!

[matthewschiefs]

A stop OMG a stop ummmmmm what happens when you stop someone I forgot LOL

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

Yes!!

[Bike]

Now just pound the ball.

[bricooper78]

The Sabol commercial was cool.

[brdempsey69]

Jon Baldwin. Get him on the field, keep him on the field and throw him the ball.

[bricooper78]

Baldwin, and now a Hillis sighting!!

[brdempsey69]

Nice hold, Lilja. Thanks, they needed that.

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg 1st and 20 and they run..frikin stupid

[bricooper78]

wonder if they've thought about not throwing directly at the sideline, give them some room to work.. dangit

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg bowe..wth

[matthewschiefs]

Bowe has to catch that ball

[bricooper78]

"Hello. My name is Dwayne Bowe. And I have a case of the dropsies."

I know, good coverage, but still lol

[Lord-Chiefy]

atleast its not a blow out......yet

[loyalchief91]

Well we can move the ball on them. We just need to turn that into points.

[loyalchief91]

Bowe didn't drop the ball, defender removed it from his hands. It was a good defensive play on the ball.

[matthewschiefs]

"Hello. My name is Dwayne Bowe. And I have a case of the dropsies."

I know, good coverage, but still lol

For a guy that held out of camp because he wanted to be paid top dollar he has to make that catch

[matthewschiefs]

2 stops in a row did we get a new defense??????????????????

[Lord-Chiefy]

i like the qb pressure...just a sec late several times...but much better

[matthewschiefs]

Nice return good field position

[brdempsey69]

The D is playing better, but the O keeps shooting themselves in the foot. Try shooting the Saints D instead.

[loyalchief91]

Nice return Arenas

[bricooper78]

The D is playing better, but the O keeps shooting themselves in the foot. Try shooting the Saints D instead.

Which was the norm last year, at least the D is waking up..
There may be official reason for a sliver of hope folks :bananen_smilies046:

[Lord-Chiefy]

that is the plays we need to do..every crossing route has been for good yardage..

[matthewschiefs]

Once again we have to settle for 3

[Bike]

We can run on these guys. Why are we throwing?

[Lord-Chiefy]

man bowe did go for that ball...matt needs to get it together.

[matthewschiefs]

Cassel has to make a better throw on that 3rd down that is just going to get a guy hurt

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

UHHHHHHHHHHH Women making me go to Publix, Not wearing my Cassel Jersey out better change lol

[loyalchief91]

We are scoring, but we need touchdowns. Cassell is throwing the ball too high.

[brdempsey69]

Which was the norm last year, at least the D is waking up..
There may be official reason for a sliver of hope folks :bananen_smilies046:

At least they showing some fight, today. It's goes back to what I was saying in the preseason ....DON'T EVER QUIT.....especially in the early part of the season and that was the problem in the first 2 games. :bananen_smilies046:

[Ryfo18]

Cassel is going to get the receivers killed.

Thought this tweet was telling:

@TheFilmRoom
#Chiefs the funny thing is...if Bowe short arms that and doesn't get up-ended...his heart would have been questioned."

[Lord-Chiefy]

drew will start dinking and dunking us..we are playing way off.

[Bike]

Another half without a td.

[Eydugstr]

Huston, Hali and Johnson are working their butts off...Everyone just is piddling around watching the )&*%! game! There's no way Brees should've gotten that ball handed off to the RB.

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg wide open..fell down and still got up and walked in...omg..

[brdempsey69]

Well, the Saints score before the half, it's going to be an uphill climb in the 2nd half.

[matthewschiefs]

HOW DOES A FREAKING GUY GET UP AND GO UNTOUCHED INTO THE ENDZONE

That's a freaking joke good lord

[Lord-Chiefy]

the ball hit the ground and his face mask held it there...i say inc..but im sure they want the saints to win.. the ref is being told by the nfl its a TD.

[loyalchief91]

What is up with all these wide open people.

[loyalchief91]

They keep blowing coverages. That's my problem with this defense.

[Lord-Chiefy]

told ya..im just surprised they actually over turned it.

[matthewschiefs]

We got lucky there I don't even agree with that reversed call

[matthewschiefs]

Well it will still be a 1 score game still in it

[Lord-Chiefy]

DJ is hurt..rut row

[matthewschiefs]

WOW that helps to the saints are helping keeping us in it

[Lord-Chiefy]

lol he missed it..there is still hope.

[brdempsey69]

Man, the Chiefs got lucky.

[bricooper78]

Some good breaks, or some luck.... can REALLY help out momentum

[bricooper78]

man another FG before the half would be okay with me

we get the ball right back after all

[Eydugstr]

Okay...we need to score.
:chiefs:

[matthewschiefs]

GO DOWN FIELD see what you can get LETS GO

[HAIL2DaChiefs!]

wow we caught a break there

[bricooper78]

Sack with a flag... woopie doo.

Kneel down, screw it.

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg..just take a frikin knee before matt gives em a td

[brdempsey69]

I wish they'd take that undersized relic, Lilja, out of the lineup and give Allen a chance. Allen can't do any worse.

[Lord-Chiefy]

throw a crossing route over middle!!!!

[bricooper78]

We weren't blown out first half..hopefully we stay close the 2nd half

[Lord-Chiefy]

hail mary

[matthewschiefs]

What was that????????????????

[Lord-Chiefy]

well we get the ball first in the second half....hope DJ is ok.

[matthewschiefs]

Guess it wasn't to bad of a half we have a shot to grab the lead to start the 2nd half LETS GET IT DONE

[marloweopatchiefs]

come on chiefs we want td's the 2nd half. i want a w

[Bike]

What was that????????????????
Dunno. Maybe trying to get Succup closer? Not sure if you can run a pass play in 8 seconds and get a time out called.

[deerhunter2]

We are still playing horrible, just looks better because the Saints are also a mess. But, our players are showing a little more effort.

[brdempsey69]

Do or die in this 2nd half.

[bricooper78]

_______ it!

[bricooper78]

Well tv, be sure and show everyone he's got a good elbow injury

[Bike]

Terrible throw to Dex.

[matthewschiefs]

Oh great Mccluster is hurt great

[bricooper78]

Who said "cassel's going to get the WR killed"??? you were just about right.

F word.

[Ryfo18]

Told you Cassel was going to get a receiver hurt.

[brdempsey69]

Are they reviewing this play? If they do, Mitch and Lenny say it should be a Saints TD.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

That was cassel, made him stretch despite the receiver being wide open.

[bricooper78]

I'm starting a tag on Twitter. #TooHighCassel

omg, open field. rediculous.

[bricooper78]

WHAT IN THE HELL is this????????????

omg, just give them the damned 6 and be done with it!

[brdempsey69]

Saints get the ball.

[KCraised]

These high circus ctach passes are gonna get all of our recievers hurt. 1 down, how many to go, cassell?!?

[matthewschiefs]

Well this one looks like it might get ugly to

[bricooper78]

And our game is going to be the "test the replacements" to the Nth degree game, and this could very well lose us a game due to poor officiating... omg this is frustrating

[matthewschiefs]

Well if we can stop them and force a field goal we still have a shot COME ON DEFENSE

[Lord-Chiefy]

how the &^%&^%$&^%$ didnt DMC not give himself up?? these refs are frikin retards!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

game over/....let another blow out begin

[bricooper78]

how the &^%&^%$&^%$ didnt DMC not give himself up?? these refs are frikin retards!!!!!!!!!!

That's what I'm sayin'!!!! it's time to bust it out... :toast2: start chugging, only way to make it through the 2nd half

[brdempsey69]

Sigh....they are letting it get away from them again.

[Bike]

Bench Cassel. We need a change-up.

[bricooper78]

Where's Hillis? why aren't he and Charles doubling up?

[bricooper78]

aaaaaaaaand he's hurt... holy hell.

[matthewschiefs]

This is horrible think it's time to give Quinn a shot this horrible D and Cassel can't get the job done

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg why try to make a move?? just fall forward and get the first down!!!! we just lost dmc, dj, hillis and our frikin center.. dropping like flies.

[Bike]

3 injuries in less than 2 minutes.

[brdempsey69]

And now Hudson may be hurt. Totally rotten trick of fate.

[matthewschiefs]

Has the lookings of a 08 like season right now

[#58ChiefsFan]

Too late to get Haley back?

[Bike]

Too late to get Haley back?
I hope so.

[#58ChiefsFan]

I hope so.

:lol:

Imma go pumpkin picking

[bricooper78]

Yea, think I'm hanging til end of 3, I like punishment, then I'm gonna go investigate how to make chili...

lets cross our fingers tho guys, it's still close, for a regular offense anyway

[Bike]

:lol:

Imma go pumpkin picking
I hear ya. I'll stick out every painful second...

[2010chiefs]

i dont blame the defense this game so much. Theyve held this offense pretty well considering that mcluster turnover. Charles has done a great job as well. Its cassel. He makes easy passes look difficult. Get him out of there. Cant even fake the hand off right.

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg hike the frikin ball you moron

[matthewschiefs]

Ok Bench Cassel

[bricooper78]

And that's game folks.

Ttyl. Ima go learn how to make chili

[Lord-Chiefy]

and thats what happends when you telegraph every frikin pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KCraised]

Well, thats that. Thanks, Cassell, ya f***!

[Bike]

Again - bench Cassel.

[Ryla02]

I'm done.....

[Sick Dog]

Oh god I am so pissed I bought NFL ticket this year for this **** I could have just streamed it for this garbage....

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Bench Cassel please. Quinn at least deserves a chance, it cant get much worse than this.

[Ryla02]

It's so freaking frustrating, I'm done and over ahhhhhh......

[70 chiefsfan70]

Cassel has got to be the worst starting qb in the league. I've said for years that he is without a doubt the weakest link on this team.

[reded]

Can't wait to see how the media shreds them after today.

[Bike]

This team is playing hard. We just don't have a QB to lead the offense.

[DLB45424]

Cassel just can't seem to get it done, time for someone else to go in.

[Ryfo18]

The best part about this is there will still be Cassel homers all of the board defending him.

[70 chiefsfan70]

This team is playing hard. We just don't have a QB to lead the offense.


THIS!

[iratefan]

yeah it sounds like its a good thing im not watching this game... nothings changed because the usual suspects are drunk behind the steering wheel.

we keep hoping for some miracle performance on game time without making any significant changes. i think we should have proven to ourselves that our ineptitude is no fluke. we're really just _that_ bad.

[Lord-Chiefy]

charles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!woke the hell up

[matthewschiefs]

Charles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reded]

Quinn sucks harder than Cassel. So what's the backup plan there?

[Bike]

That's the Charles I know!

[Sick Dog]

Wow that was nice Charles looked like days of old...he is playing well today at least...wonder if he can throw?

[Eydugstr]

This sucks. They must be serving some really good food in the medical examiner's office, seeing as how quickly we just lost Hillis, McCluster, and Hudson. Lilja is getting a crash course in being a center, which would've been just dandy in the middle of a high school scrimmage, but not in a regular season game against the frickin' Saints. And yes, Cassel has been telegraphing his passes all game.

[Bike]

Quinn sucks harder than Cassel. So what's the backup plan there?
Just put him in and let's see.

[Eydugstr]

WTG Charles!!!

Can he play center?

[Bike]

This game aint over yet...

[DLB45424]

welcome back Charles!!!

[2010chiefs]

Great run charles. They need to get you a real quarterback. Great job.

[reded]

Just put him in and let's see.

Saw what I needed to see in 4 preseason games.

[brdempsey69]

The best part about this is there will still be Cassel homers all of the board defending him.

Not here, brother. The Cassel expiriment is over & it's now beyond the shadow of a doubt that he's not the guy. And I don't want them to draft Barkley and I don't want another USC QB.

The guy to keep an eye on is Geno Smith from West Virginia. He's been a steady performer & he lit Clemson up with 6 TD's in the Orange Bowl last January...big time performance in a big time game.

Nice run by Charles. Good to see he still has gamebreaking speed.

[Bike]

Saw what I needed to see in 4 preseason games.
Pre season is over.

[matthewschiefs]

Pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[N TX Dave]

The best part about this is there will still be Cassel homers all of the board defending him.

I have given up on him he has proven he is not a top flight NFL QB, I had hoped he was but craap in one hand and hope in the other and see which one gets filled first.

:whipping1:

[Eydugstr]

WTG Routt!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

routt might have just gave us hope.

[Bike]

Finally a takeaway. A td here turns the game around.

[Lord-Chiefy]

lol..they just calles bowe a reliable wr...omg

[Lord-Chiefy]

why did charles cut back...he had it.

[matthewschiefs]

Signs of LIFE LETS GO

[N TX Dave]

What woke up Charles 199 yards already!

[DLB45424]

I think Charles is gassed atm, give the man some Oxygen and get him back in there!!!!

[reded]

First game this year in which we've had a momentum change. A score here will help their psyche immensely.

[Eydugstr]

C'mon guys! Score!!!!
:chiefs:

[Lord-Chiefy]

cassell you are a frikin cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eydugstr]

Well, it wasn't in vain. Got a field goal.

[matthewschiefs]

Settleing for WAY to many field goals

[N TX Dave]

When you are down 24-13 FG are not going to help much. That's 3 FG 9 points instead of 21.

[matthewschiefs]

Come on D keep us in it

[Sick Dog]

That is just it with Cassel you need him to get that and he can never get it done....ever

[matthewschiefs]

When you are down 24-13 FG are not going to help much. That's 3 FG 9 points instead of 21.

A field goal made it to where a td and 2pointer ties the game

[Lord-Chiefy]

nice stop for the d..

[matthewschiefs]

STILL IN THIS somehow someway

[Bike]

Good D. Need some good O.

[Sick Dog]

D got it done....where is Charles

[matthewschiefs]

THe seasons on the line this drive we need a score to tie this game up with a 2 point conversion

[matthewschiefs]

NICE catch baldwin

[Lord-Chiefy]

nice catch baldwin....very nice grab

[Lord-Chiefy]

frikin heck..bowe wide open..matt cannot throw the long ball for crap

[Lord-Chiefy]

finnaly a PI call!!! that was late.. i was like wth!!!!!!

[brdempsey69]

Gotta score here. Gotta get a TD.

[Lord-Chiefy]

i see a fg in future.. probably come out and run middle..lol

[Lord-Chiefy]

thank god for the flag cause it was a pos play

[#58ChiefsFan]

No matter how this ends I'm proud of these guys today

[brdempsey69]

No matter how this ends I'm proud of these guys today


Yes, I'm glad to see them go down swinging. IF they go down....they still have a chance.

[Lord-Chiefy]

lmao throw into quad coverage...

[Bike]

What was that? A hope and a prayer?

[Eydugstr]

Good job Succop...

[2010chiefs]

Terrible read by cassel. Evryone doing there job but the qb.

[Bike]

No matter how this ends I'm proud of these guys today
They playing hard. It's not their fault Cassel sucks.

[Eydugstr]

lmao throw into quad coverage...

My thoughts exactly....

[loyalchief91]

Lucky that wasn't intercepted. But we did kick a FG. But we need TOUCHDOWNS

[reded]

Give us an above average QB and we blow the Saints out in their own dome today.

[brdempsey69]

Hey, Jerrell Powe, nice play.

[Lord-Chiefy]

sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!perfect timing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nice

[matthewschiefs]

Where has this d been all season??????

[Eydugstr]

Yeeeeahhh!!!! Wtg D!!!

[brdempsey69]

The Defense has woke up, FINALLY!!!

[N TX Dave]

How many false starts by the OL today and why?

[reded]

Could this 2nd half be a turning point for KC?

[Lord-Chiefy]

nice run back for naught though....sucks...

[Bike]

D-in' up. But Cassel comin' back out.

[Lord-Chiefy]

running out of time...

[Bike]

Another bad throw.

[Lord-Chiefy]

matt couldnt see that defender on his ars?? matt u suck!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE YOU

[brdempsey69]

Blew another opportunity.

[loyalchief91]

Didn't like that offensive series at all.

[KCraised]

Whatta horrible series of playcalling!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Safety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[Bike]

Houston safety! A FG ties it up.
