Notable Quotables:
Chiefs:
"I'm not into predictions. I know there are questions that are asked
a lot but I'm just into going out and doing our business and
making sure that we play good, solid football." -- Chiefs head
coach Andy Reid.


Cowboys:
"This is going to be a very difficult defense to go against in the
environment that we're going to be in. I think this might be our, of
our opening five, six games, this could be the toughest with the
environment and the problems what they do defensively and their
scheme. This will be a very difficult game to go in and execute at
a high level, we're trying to do things to make sure we give
ourselves the best chance to be able to do that." -- Quarterback
Tony Romo on the Chiefs.

ESPN Game Preview (http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/nflpreview?gameId=330915012):
With a season-opening victory, Andy Reid has solidified the optimism that surrounded his hire as coach of the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year.

Now they'll try to build on it against a team Reid knows well from his days in the NFC East.

Reid makes his home debut in Kansas City on Sunday as the Chiefs look to match their win total from last season against a Dallas Cowboys team that boasts an opportunistic defense and a pair of banged-up stars.

Kansas City's 28-2 road rout of lowly Jacksonville last Sunday was the franchise's most-lopsided season-opening victory since it beat Denver 59-7 in 1963, and quickly helped a hungry fan base forget about last season's 2-14 debacle.

"There's a lot of emphasis put on the first game within the league," Reid said. "I keep in perspective that it's one out of 16 games and hopefully more that you have an opportunity to play, so I understand that.

"On the other hand, I'll tell you that you work your tail off to win every game, and that's what you do. So every victory you get, you're going to cherish and enjoy it."

Alex Smith was 21 of 34 for 173 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in his Kansas City debut, and Jamaal Charles ran for 77 yards and a TD before leaving with a quad injury. Justin Houston recorded three of the team's six sacks and Tamba Hali returned an interception for a touchdown as the Chiefs scored more points than in any game last season.

"There are some things we need to work on as a team, but getting this win raises the morale for us," receiver Junior Hemingway said. "It'll help tremendously going into next week."

Reid believes looking forward is all that matters.

"It was neat to see the offense and the defense and the coaches, they were very excited," Reid said. "We also know that we enjoyed it and now we're moving on."

One immediate concern is the uncertain status of Charles, who rushed for a career-high 1,509 yards while playing all 16 games in 2012.

"He does have range of motion," Reid said. "We'll just see how he does over this week."

Including the playoffs, Reid went 17-12 against the Cowboys during his 14 seasons coaching the Eagles. Following Sunday's game, the Chiefs have a quick turnaround before Reid's homecoming in Philadelphia on Thursday night.

Kansas City certainly won't be looking ahead after Dallas forced six turnovers while holding on for a 36-31 win over the New York Giants in Week 1.

Guided by 73-year-old defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and line coach Rod Marinelli, Dallas intercepted Eli Manning three times -- taking one back for a TD -- and returned one of David Wilson's two fumbles for a score. The Cowboys also recovered a live ball that glanced off a Giant on a punt.

Dallas forced only 16 turnovers while going 8-8 last season.

"I think six was a lot, but we've been thinking about it," linebacker Sean Lee said. "We've been working at it non-stop."

Dallas, though, yielded 478 total yards -- all but 50 in the air -- and allowed the Giants to hang around despite all their mistakes.

"We have a lot of room to improve defensively," Lee added. "We gave up a lot of yards. We have to improve that."

Offensively, DeMarco Murray had 125 total yards and Jason Witten made eight catches for 70 with two TDs to become the third tight end in NFL history with 9,000 yards receiving.

Tony Romo was 36 of 49 for 263 yards with those two TDs and an interception. He also avoided a serious injury despite taking a shot to the ribs.

Receiver Dez Bryant was targeted eight times but caught just four passes for 22 yards while dealing with a mild foot sprain that is unlikely to keep him out of this contest.

Dallas has won two straight against the Chiefs, most recently 26-20 at Kansas City in 2009.

Romo was 20 of 34 for 351 yards with two TDs in that contest. He completed 10 and both scores to Miles Austin, who posted a career-high 250 receiving yards.

Chiefs-Cowboys Scouting Report from the Kansas City Star (http://www.kansascity.com/2013/09/14/4479896/chiefs-cowboys-scouting-report.html)


When the Chiefs run

EDGE >> COWBOYS

The Chiefs moved the ball fairly well on the ground last week against the Jaguars, but the Cowboys’ front seven is coming off a strong effort against the Giants, whom they held to 50 total yards in 14 rushes Sunday. New York did that against defensive end Anthony Spencer, who was stout against the run last season. But in defensive tackle Jason Spencer and linebackers Sean Lee and Bruce Carter, the Cowboys have enough up front to make life difficult for the Chiefs.

When the Chiefs pass

EDGE >> CHIEFS

The Chiefs obviously need to keep an eye on star defensive end DeMarcus Ware, who teams up with tackle Jason Hatcher and end George Selvie to form an effective pass rush. The Cowboys racked up six turnovers last week, but if the Chiefs can contain those guys and take care of he ball, there are plays to be made. The Giants racked up 450 passing yards against the Cowboys, a total that includes seven passing plays of 20 yards or more. The Chiefs didn’t stretch the field like that last week, but expect coach Andy Reid to pull out all of the stops in the passing game.

When the Cowboys run

EDGE >> CHIEFS

DeMarco Murray is a solid back, but the Cowboys didn’t get a ton of push up front last week against the Giants. Veteran Brian Waters will give a boost to Dallas’ guards, but the Chiefs have the makings of a solid run-stuffing defense with nose tackle Dontari Poe, defensive end Mike DeVito and linebacker Derrick Johnson. The Chiefs gobbled up Jacksonville’s running game last week and can prove they are for real by doing the same against the Cowboys.

When the Cowboys pass

EDGE >> COWBOYS

Jacksonville had a devil of a time stopping the Chiefs’ pass rush, led by outside linebacker Justin Houston, who had three sacks. Poe and outside linebacker Tamba Hali were also disruptive, which could be a problem for quarterback Tony Romo, who is dealing with injured ribs. Even still, Romo directs a potent attack and has the weapons in the passing game with tight end Jason Witten and receivers Dez Bryant and Miles Austin to exploit weaknesses. The Chiefs’ defense may be a lot better, but Romo still threw for 4,900 yards last year.

Special teams

EDGE >> COWBOYS

The Chiefs have the edge at punter, where Dustin Colquitt reigns as one of the league’s best. But Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey is a little more consistent than his Chiefs counterpart, Ryan Succop, while Cowboys receiver Dwayne Harris was chosen NFC special-teams player of the week for his work on coverage units and returning punts.

Coaching

EDGE >> CHIEFS

Andy Reid is a proven winner with multiple playoff berths and a Super Bowl appearance. He’s also 17-12 for his career against Dallas, whose coach — Jason Garrett — may be on the hot seat. Garrett may need to take the Cowboys on a deep playoff run to save his job.

X-factor

EDGE >> CHIEFS

It’s the home opener in Kansas City, and after the Chiefs’ big victory in week one, excitement is high. The fans are back after the soul-crushing Pioli era, which means Arrowhead is going to be rocking. The fans can make the game very difficult for the Cowboys, particularly if the Chiefs jump out to an early lead.

Bottom line

Dallas is a good team, one that will give the Chiefs a real test after they dominated Jacksonville. But the Chiefs will be on a mission to prove they’re for real, and that — not to mention a potentially old-school crowd at Arrowhead — should give the home team the boost they need to pull out the win.

Prediction: Chiefs 28, Cowboys 24.

[kcvet]

I think "Romeo" is gonna need ear plugs today :biggrin:

[brdempsey69]

Here's to hoping the Chiefs go out there today and kick the Cowboys a$$es all over the field -- especially after seeing Cowboys fans having the audacity to go to Chiefs fans sites and talking the trash that they have been all week long. I never harbored any ill-will towards Dallas -- until now.

Interesting how I can have a mutual respect with Seahawks, Niners, Packers, and Redskins fans, but it's quite apparent that Cowboys fans are along the same vein as Donkeys fans -- full of arrogance.

Get out there, Chiefs and get the first home game win of the Dorsey/Reid era.

[nigeriannightmare]

First home opener I have missed since 2003. Booooo! But listening to my daughter and her friends after their slumber party is pretty cool, its my daughters sixth birthday today. I am there in spirit. GO CHIEFS!!!

[matthewschiefs]

GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In 09 the Chiefs had the boys down big and let one go. Lets get revenge for that

[Eydugstr]

First home opener I have missed since 2003. Booooo! But listening to my daughter and her friends after their slumber party is pretty cool, its my daughters sixth birthday today. I am there in spirit. GO CHIEFS!!!

Happy B-day to the little one, nigeriannightmare!

My hope is that Arrowhead is climbing into Tony Romo's headset every play. We're talking so much noise that guys have to read lips until they go back to the benches.

[brdempsey69]

Happy B-day to the little one, nigeriannightmare!

My hope is that Arrowhead is climbing into Tony Romo's headset every play. We're talking so much noise that guys have to read lips until they go back to the benches.

Chiefs DC Bob Sutton said that he has a job for Chiefs fans today -- make it unbearably loud for the Cowboys Offense when the Chiefs Defense is on the field.

ive read their forums to. they are worried big time about a trap game here

[Eydugstr]

Chiefs DC Bob Sutton said that he has a job for Chiefs fans today -- make it unbearably loud for the Cowboys Offense when the Chiefs Defense is on the field.

Arrowhead is a weapon when motivated. Two years ago was there and watched Arrowhead's crowd noise creep into Donovan McNabb's helmet, and he never came back from it, either. Sutton telling Arrowhead to make things loud...It's like asking a Grizzly Bear in a cardboard cage if he wants to go out and play. GO CHIEFS.

[kcvet]

Romo will wear a flack jacket so protection is crucial

[brdempsey69]

Romo will wear a flack jacket so protection is crucial

That to me is one of the biggest factors right there. As good as the Chiefs pass-rush was last week, they have to be better this week.

They have to put a LOT more pressure on Romo than the Giants did last week.

[Chiefster]

Here we go!

Red on red!

[matthewschiefs]

All red jerseys nice

[2010chiefs]

And here we go! Go chiefs!!!

[Chiefster]

[matthewschiefs]

some intresting play calls so far

[matthewschiefs]

Bad throw by Alex should have been picked VERY lucky

[Lord-Chiefy]

Is Albert still hurt?

[iratefan]

oh my god that was ****ing AWFUL!. hand that off and thats a ton of room.

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg grey screwed that up..

[2010chiefs]

Smith not having enough time. Need better protection.

[brdempsey69]

They've got to try running the ball some more, even if it doesn't work. They can't keep squandering these chances by giving up sacks.

[Chiefster]

Our defense is going to wear down if we can't get something going on offense.

[matthewschiefs]

UGGGGG this isn't looking good right now

[iratefan]

not happy with this offensive effort. havent gotten enough open options to keep drives alive. forcing too much scrambling by alex.

[Lord-Chiefy]

alex smith out of game??

[Lord-Chiefy]

up to our D...that was out of bounds

[iratefan]

ooops. didnt get away with that arm holding this time.

[Lord-Chiefy]

smith is hurt...come on daniels

[Lord-Chiefy]

[Chiefster]

The offense has to get going!

[2010chiefs]

Need at least a field goal this drive. Lets go chiefs!

[iratefan]

lets try this one more time with a little less embarrassment?

[Lord-Chiefy]

they sais smith may not return

[matthewschiefs]

If they keep giving Mccluster chances he might break one

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg we need to pass to set up run

[Lord-Chiefy]

smith..our best RB

[Lord-Chiefy]

nice play..i liked it..just bad blocking

[brdempsey69]

Alex is back, but he's got to get some help from his teammates.

[Lord-Chiefy]

ty time out..smith trying to be peyton..lol...sounded good,,

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg..no protection...

[2010chiefs]

Smith is running for his life! No protection!

[Lord-Chiefy]

[Lord-Chiefy]

[iratefan]

[Lord-Chiefy]

[nigeriannightmare]

Great play kendrinck!!!

bad thing is we don't have a deep threat reciever on the team..

[iratefan]

wow alex - that one got away from you, huh?

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg....can we suck any worse?? 6 wins max like I said..

[matthewschiefs]

Can't even get a kick off SMH

[2010chiefs]

Wow just wow! McGrath was wasted space on that play!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

lucky only down by 3 at half.. we need a 0-coordinator.. what happened to our top 5 o-line?

[matthewschiefs]

The difference in the game so far is Romeo has had an o line Smith has not

[Lord-Chiefy]

I played golf with a a-hole dallas fan this mornig and my brother inlaw is a banwaganer dallas fan..we need to win.

[Bike]

I hope this new regime can find a way to win at the line of scrimmage...

[brdempsey69]

The offensive solution is a simple one -- BLOCK SOMEBODY, FOR FFS !! Charles is being giving no opportunity to get anything going in the running game. You can't be one-dimensional. If they could spring him for one good run, it could make a world of difference.

[Eydugstr]

Offense needs to do something, get the crowd back in the game. D is doing a good job, but needs to come up with an answer for Dez Bryant. It's far from over, though.

[Lord-Chiefy]

chargers winning. this is a must win agme. I know its early in season, but we need this bad!!

[Chiefster]

The entire offense has to start doing their job!

1. They have to get their running game going.

2. At some point we have to try and pass the ball down field, they are defending the short to intermediate routs.

3. O-Line has to do a better job up front.

4. QB has to do a better job reading the defense.

5. WRs have to get open.

Can you tell I'm frustrated?

If that one play earlier where they faked to JC had been an actual handoff to JC, that'd been a 40 yard scramble. Our recievers just don't match up against the cowboys' secondary, outside of Dwaye Bowe. I'd wager a beer that we see some handoffs go the other way to JC in the second half.

[2010chiefs]

If smith can get protection he can make something happen.

[Lord-Chiefy]

agreed chiefster, our o-line is struggling. quick out, deep pass something to get the D from just teeing off on us..

[Chiefster]

exactly!

[tornadospotter]

Well we see what kind of adjustments we make for the second half.

[Lord-Chiefy]

they have carr, the guy we shouldn't have let go..come back to bite us in arse

Sorry Chiefster - I meant to give you a thumbs UP!!! But yeah, the offense definetely looks rattled and Dallas has the momentum and the ball to open the 2nd half. We need to do some serious adjustments during halftime.

Not a problem buddy! :smile

[jap1]

I disagree. For the amount of money he wanted, we wouldnt have been able to do anything this offseason.

[Lord-Chiefy]

the issue is adjusting 0-line isn't like adjusting coverage.. we have done descent on coverage..gave D a rest but, smith has no time and no open recievers.

[Chiefster]

Was that Canada yelling Go Chiefs!??

[brdempsey69]

Too many wasted opportunities in the 1st half by the Offense. They cannot waste them in the 2nd half.

[Lord-Chiefy]

1st down at the 20..lets go D

[Chiefster]

Let's go CHIEFS!

[Lord-Chiefy]

no QB pressure,,, same old story for the last 8 years

[iratefan]

hope there were many words of encouragement and some roids passed around at halftime.

[matthewschiefs]

I disagree. For the amount of money he wanted, we wouldnt have been able to do anything this offseason.


I don't think he was coming back to KC anyway. He wanted to be a Cowboy and now he is

[Lord-Chiefy]

room has all day...

[Lord-Chiefy]

not a good start

[Lord-Chiefy]

even on blitz no pressure

[2010chiefs]

Bryant still punking our best corner Flowers! We know there going to him and can't stop him. WTH!

[Lord-Chiefy]

we need a miracle..this is gonna get ugly

[iratefan]

this blitzing just looks desperate at this point.

[Lord-Chiefy]

omg.. smith you suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iratefan]

Bryant still punking our best corner Flowers! We know there going to him and can't stop him. WTH!

dont worry. well adjust. wont we? (wont we!!!?!?!?!)

[Lord-Chiefy]

game over.. 20 pt loss

[iratefan]

[Lord-Chiefy]

Thank you Poe!

[Lord-Chiefy]

[Lord-Chiefy]

[iratefan]

[Lord-Chiefy]

G dallas let the route begin.. if we don't score a TD here its over..dammit

[iratefan]

if we escape with only 3 on this drive i will consider us lucky.

[Chiefster]

Defense held to three, but man this is as frustrated as I have felt in a long time.

[Lord-Chiefy]

we are making Romo "over rated" look great!!!

[nigeriannightmare]

Defense on the field for over 1/2 the quarter. No bueno!

[Eydugstr]

Good job D & Arrowhead...turned a TD into a FG. Come on O get back in the game!

[brdempsey69]

The Chiefs Offense simply has to move the ball and put some points on the board -- it's as simple as that.

[iratefan]

the only thing i hate worse than the cowboys are these reject manly truck commercials.

[Chiefster]

Offense better come out firing on all cylinders.

[jap1]

G dallas let the route begin.. if we don't score a TD here its over..dammit

Rout? We are down by 6.

[Lord-Chiefy]

lets go o-line.......we need a TD bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no TD no win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iratefan]

Rout? We are down by 6.

yeah but we need to be able to get first downs to get touchdowns.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Rout? We are down by 6.
just watch

[Lord-Chiefy]

[Lord-Chiefy]

[Chiefster]

Did we make ANY half time adjustments?

[Lord-Chiefy]

step away from the darkside!

[Bike]

Got our MO back baby!!!

[brdempsey69]

Beautiful. That 3rd down throw to Avery was risky, but it worked and it sparked the Offense. Now, let's play some f@#king Defense and get the Dallas Offense off the field.

[Lord-Chiefy]

smith looked in charge that drive.... we need to keep hurry up O

[jason1981]

Yes finally. We need to keep this up. Finally they finally decide to help the oline with better play calling.

[iratefan]

step away from the darkside!

haha i mean can you really blame him? hes a chiefs fan, hes gotta expect the absolute worst. as to not feel the stinging lash of dissapointment and despair.

[Lord-Chiefy]

step away from the darkside!I did say we had to score here...

[brdempsey69]

Brother, if the Defense is ever going to force turnover, now is the time.

[Lord-Chiefy]

haha i mean can you really blame him? hes a chiefs fan, hes gotta expect the absolute worst. as to not feel the stinging lash of dissapointment and despair.
thank you... we need a stop and their rolling again..

[2010chiefs]

C'mon D! Lets get the offense the ball back. We need a stop!

[Lord-Chiefy]

chiefs ball and run back!!!!! just what we needed!!!!

[2010chiefs]

Fumble!!!!! Yeah!!!!

[jap1]

Brother, if the Defense is ever going to force turnover, now is the time.

I wouldnt mind seeing Hali or Houston getting a sack.

[iratefan]

very good leg tackle there by flowers for being a smaller corner.

[Chiefster]

That's a fumble!

[Lord-Chiefy]

knee was down no turn over...SOB!!!!!

[Frankenchief]

We need a Cowboy turn over to turn this thing our way. We are ahead but the Cowboys are still the better team in this game.

[tornadospotter]

Brother, if the Defense is ever going to force turnover, now is the time.
Ask and you shall recieve, maybe!

[matthewschiefs]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

[Eydugstr]

Great job D!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need a Cowboy turn over to turn this thing our way. We are ahead but the Cowboys are still the better team in this game.

[brdempsey69]

Brother, if the Defense is ever going to force turnover, now is the time.

Right on queue, Eric Berry. Great work.

[matthewschiefs]

Good a td to start the 4th would be HUGE COME ON OFFENSE GET IT DONE
