Weather forecast: http://a.espncdn.com/i/weather/mobile/85.png 62 degrees, sunny

Line: Chiefs -7.5, Over/Under: 39.5
The Browns are 3-4 ATS.
The Chiefs are 5-2 ATS.

Game Plans:
Chiefs:
If the Chiefs stick to the plan that's given them seven victories in seven games they should be able to make it eight in a row against the Browns. That formula has been led by a defense that allows very few touchdowns/points (eight touchdowns, 81 points), takes the ball away (19) and sacks the quarterback (35). The Chiefs rank No. 1 in the league over all three categories. Cleveland on the other hand is No. 25 in points scored (131), tied for No. 12 in giveaways (10) and tied for last in sacks allowed (27). With that defensive effort, they need at least one big contribution from their special teams and the Alex Smith-led offense must throw in a few scores, while maintaining ball security.

Browns:
It won't be easy, but the Browns would like to find a way to run successfully against the Chiefs. Leading rusher Willis McGahee is averaging only 2.9 yards a carry.

Chris Ogbonnaya carried four times for 15 yards in Green Bay and could get more opportunities Sunday.

The Chiefs are giving up an average of 4.8 yards a carry, but they have allowed only two rushing touchdowns.

The alternative to concentrating on the run is turning on the Kansas City sack machine. The Chiefs lead the NFL with 35 sacks.

Notable Quotables:
Chiefs:
"You don't worry about what people say. You don't worry about records. You prepare yourself, you respect the opponent, you study the opponent and then you get yourself right. If you stay with that, all the other stuff doesn't matter." -- Chiefs coach Andy Reid.

Browns:
"Obviously, you want consistency at your quarterback position every week, but from that standpoint, that's out of our control." -- Browns WR Davone Bess.

ESPN Game Preview (http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/nflpreview?gameId=331027012):

While staying relatively healthy, the Kansas City Chiefs have gotten the benefit of facing some quarterbacks who were thrust into a starting role because of injuries.

On Sunday, the Chiefs will take on a team that's making a change at that position for a different reason.

Jason Campbell is taking over for the ineffective Brandon Weeden as the visiting Browns face the arduous task of trying to end Kansas City's reign as the NFL's only unbeaten team.

The Chiefs (7-0) have faced opponents with a combined 15-33 record and two were without their starting quarterbacks -- Tennessee on Oct. 6 and Houston last week.

Along with starting rookie Case Keenum in place of Matt Schaub, the Texans also lost top running back Arian Foster and linebacker Brian Cushing to injuries as the Chiefs posted a 17-16 victory.

"The best thing about this team, we've had a lot of bad luck in the past; we're taking success the right way, being very humble about it," linebacker Derrick Johnson told the Chiefs' official website. "Character speaks after a win and we will still come back and grind like we're losing. We'll come back and try to get to 8-0. It's a great feeling. We're loving it."

The Chiefs, meanwhile, have only two rookies who are missing and both were likely to serve as backups, tight end Travis Kelce and safety Sanders Commings. That health has helped Kansas City get off to its best start since winning its first nine games in 2003.

"This is a rough business. Injuries do take place. I get it. But we've been fortunate," coach Andy Reid said. "That's really what it is."

The defense has played a significant role in the Chiefs' incredible turnaround from last year's franchise-worst 2-14 finish. Kansas City has given up a league-low 81 points and no more than 17 in any game.

The Chiefs are fifth in average yards given up (304.6) and third against the pass with 194.7 allowed per game. With a league-best 35 sacks, they're on pace to top the 1984 Chicago Bears' NFL record of 72.

That's helped them stay unbeaten with an offense that ranks in the middle of the pack with 24.1 points and 330.7 yards per game.

Kansas City's defense will try to keep rolling against a Browns team that's allowed its quarterbacks to get sacked 27 times, tied for second-most in the league.

Weeden was brought down 21 times in his five games this season. He endured three of those in last Sunday's 31-13 loss at Green Bay while completing just 17 of 42 passes (40.5 percent) for 149 yards.

That performance caused coach Rob Chudzinski to turn to Campbell, who has made 71 career starts and is the third starter this season for Cleveland (3-4) along with the injured Brian Hoyer.

"It's a tough decision," Chudzinski said. "I believe this is in the best interest of the team, and ultimately gives us the best chance to win. I'm excited to see what Jason will do with this opportunity."

Campbell made one start and played in six games for Chicago last season.

"It's an opportunity to go out there and just get back to the game and just having fun," Campbell said. "Obviously, we want to go win games and do the best we can. But at the same time we understand we're a growing football team and our goal and mission every week is to go out and win games."

Campbell helped lead Oakland to wins over Kansas City in 2010 and 2011. The Browns blew out the Chiefs 30-7 in the most recent matchup Dec. 9.

Kansas City's Jamaal Charles opened the scoring in that game with an 80-yard run and finished with 165 yards on 18 carries. He's third in the NFL this season with 561 rushing yards and is tied for second with six touchdowns on the ground.

Charles has a team-leading 36 receptions and Dwayne Bowe is next with 25, but he'll be a game-time decision due to a groin injury suffered in practice Thursday.

Cleveland, which has won three of four in this series, is making its first visit to Kansas City since a 41-34 victory Dec. 20, 2009.

Chiefs-Browns scouting report (http://www.kansascity.com/2013/10/26/4578270/chiefs-browns-scouting-report.html)
October 26

When the Chiefs run
EDGE >> BROWNS
The Chiefs continue to put a big workload on running back Jamaal Charles, and he’s continued to thrive. But he still hasn’t broken a long run yet, and the offensive line, while largely good in the running game, has also been a little hit-or-miss at times. The Browns are going make it tough to pound away with interior linemen John Hughes, Ahtyba Rubin and Ishmaa’ily Kitchen and linebacker Paul Kruger. Linebacker D’Qwell Jackson has been a cinch to rack up 100 tackles on a yearly basis when healthy. Safety T.J. Ward has long been a willing hitter.

When the Chiefs pass
EDGE >> BROWNS
Andy Reid has built an offense that plays to quarterback Alex Smith’s ability to make quick decisions and avoid turnovers, but the tradeoff has been an inability to consistently produce long passing plays. They’ve also allowed 18 sacks, which is about league average, but that could spell trouble against a Cleveland defense that is silently intimidating (20 sacks, tied for eighth-most in the league). Outside linebacker Jabaal Sheard (1 1/2 sacks) can bring it in the pass rush, as can rookie Barkevious Mingo (three sacks) and defensive end Desmond Bryant (3 1/2 sacks). In the secondary, cornerback Joe Haden is one of the league’s best while Ward is beginning to flourish in pass coverage.

When the Browns run
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Cleveland features one of the league’s worst running games, and its woes figure to continue against the Chiefs. Running back Willis McGahee’s 2.9 yards-per-carry average indicates the 32-year old may not have much juice left, which should be music to the ears of a front seven that features several strong run defenders, including the three interior linemen (Dontari Poe, Tyson Jackson and Mike DeVito).

When the Browns pass
EDGE >> CHIEFS
The Chiefs feature one of the most fearsome pass rushes in the league, but Cleveland could match up better in the trenches than most. Left tackle Joe Thomas is a stud, and center Alex Mack is sturdy. They’ll be tasked with blocking Tamba Hali and Poe, though Justin Houston could have a big day against right tackle Mitchell Schwartz. Quarterback Jason Campbell steps in for the ineffective Brandon Weeden and has some nice targets in receiver Josh Gordon and tight end Jordan Cameron. But the Chiefs’ secondary is a strength that works in tandem with the strong pass rush to form the league’s stingiest defense.

Special teams
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Browns kicker Billy Cundiff has made 11 of 13 field-goal attempts (84.6). But Chiefs kicker Ryan Succop has been even better (12 of 14, 85.7), while Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt has established himself as one of the best in the league. He gets the edge over the largely unproven Spencer Lanning. Cleveland features a dynamic punt returner in Travis Benjamin, who returned a punt for a touchdown against the Chiefs last season and also has a punt-return touchdown this year. But the Chiefs’ Dexter McCluster also has a punt-return touchdown. Slight edge, overall, goes to the Chiefs.

Coaching
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski, in his first year as coach, has coaxed a 3-4 record out of a team that is clearly looking toward the future (as evidenced by the Trent Richardson trade). He also has offensive coordinator Norv Turner and defensive coordinator Ray Horton, both respected play callers. Even still, it’s hard to give an edge to the Browns. Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton has orchestrated an imposing unit, while Reid has been a breath of fresh air for his players. It seems like everything he has done so far has worked.

X-factor
EDGE >> CHIEFS
To win this game, Cleveland has to perform well defensively, but the unit does have a kryptonite the Chiefs and the coach Andy Reid might be able to exploit: the Browns’ opponents have converted 45 percent of their third-down attempts, a number that ranks 29th in the league. Unfortunately, the Chiefs aren’t very good at converting third downs (36 percent, 27th in the league), so this is a bit of a toss up, one that tentatively goes to Reid becausse of his pedigree as a play caller.

Bottom line: Chiefs 24-13

Cleveland’s defense is a little better than you might think, and the Browns have a few pieces along the offensive line to counter the Chiefs’ pass rush. But at the end of the day, it’s going to come down to whether or not Campbell can make enough plays in the passing game to keep the Chiefs honest. He’s a veteran who has had moments of competency in the league, but the chances of him leading to the Browns to victory in front of a raucous Arrowhead Stadium crowd seems far-fetched.

[nigeriannightmare]

Taking my kiddos to their first CHIEFS game!!!! Woohoo! Getting all emotional already. Memories folks! Go Chiefs!!!!

[kcvet]

time for a Brown out by our D. let's see if they can do some more 3rd down and 48

How the Chiefs forced a 3rd-and-48

The Chiefs defense had their signature moment of the season today against the Raiders: forcing Oakland into a ridiculous 3rd down and 48.

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/10/13/4835020/3rd-and-48

don't think i ever heard of 3-48. is that a record???

[SloJimFizz]

GO CHIEFS!!!!
Hope they finish the first half of the season in style.
8-0 > Our 2nd pick next year.

[Eydugstr]

Go Chiefs! Send the dawgs back to the pound with an L.

[brdempsey69]

The Chiefs are due to lay a major-league clobbering on the Browns. Let today be the day for that happen.

[ctchiefsfan]

YUP!!!! I have to leave for work promptly at 4:00 pm (eastern) today, so it would be nice if the game was not still in doubt then. Not to mention a game that was not still in doubt with 5 minutes left to play would be a whole lot easier on my ulcer.

GO CHIEFS!!!!!!! BEAT THEM BROWNIES!!!!!!

[kcvet]

The Chiefs are due to lay a major-league clobbering on the Browns. Let today be the day for that happen.

this. we got our walking wounded back and Smith got good protection last week. gotta go for the throat

[ctchiefsfan]

I just really want to see us get a good solid early lead and really strangle an opponent from the very start.

[brdempsey69]

Kickoff less than 10 minutes away.

Let's go Chiefs!! Go out and lay a major league whooping on the Browns.

[matthewschiefs]

Want to see the D do there thing and the offense show some growth Lets get this done don't take the Browns lightly that's how you end up getting beat

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

[matthewschiefs]

CHARLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And did I here Mccluster threw a block LOL WOW don't think I've heard that before

[matthewschiefs]

And have to settle for 3 BLAH

[brdempsey69]

Fisher missed his block & Davis got stuffed on 2nd and short. Had to settle for FG. Not a bad drive, though. Hope they can keep it going.

[matthewschiefs]

Lets get a td this time come on Offense get a 2 score lead lets put this one away early

[brdempsey69]

Moving the ball systematically and moving the sticks. That's all they need to do.

McGrath getting into the mix again.

C'Mon Offense. Take it in this time.

[matthewschiefs]

O line is giving Smith time today good to see

[matthewschiefs]

JUST missed Fasno on that one Damn

[matthewschiefs]

Damnit Smith missing Fasno kept us out of the endzone he has got to hit guys in the endzone

[Lewis_Chiefs]

That's a throw Smith has got to make, should be 10-0 but the offence is moving down the field well.

[ctchiefsfan]

What is up with Smith? At the start of the season he was so good in the red zone?

[brdempsey69]

Damn it. Missed a wide-open Fasano on 2nd down & Fisher allowed a sack on 3rd down. Fisher has got to step up his game, as that's twice that missed blocks have cost them chances at TD's. Fisher will be facing Mario Williams next week and Williams will beat him senseless if he doesn't step his game up.

[iratefan]

Damnit Smith missing Fasno kept us out of the endzone he has got to hit guys in the endzone

looked to me like he threw that ball to fasano back pedaling and off his back foot. no ability to step into the throw for a more accurate pass. I still think he needs to desperately make it a catchable ball, but the moment he threw it i dont think fasano was AS open as after he made his cut. so thats probably alex being conservative making sure he doesnt throw a pick.

fisher got owned on that 3rd and 8 and killed that td drive.

both situations looked like fast pressure. both times looked like he was holding the ball long enough to shoot for the endzone.

[ctchiefsfan]

Our D is SMOTHERING THEM!

[matthewschiefs]

Fasano was open enough and that's a throw Smith is going to have to make. If he makes that throw the 3rd down play never happens. That's one I'm going to have to put on Smith

But now he gets the Chance to make up for it. He has done a good job today so far outside of that throw that he would like to have back. Just clean that up and this team should be able to put up a lot of points today. They've moved the ball pretty well.

youre going to put that squarely on smith when he made the throw back pedalling off the backfoot avoiding pressure coming up the middle? dont put any responsibility on the up front blocking there? I dont know if thats really fair...

[brdempsey69]

Browns are blitzing constantly. A quick slant should be open somewhere.

[matthewschiefs]

Sometimes a QB is going to have to throw while under pressure. When you have a open guy in the endzone you have to hit him.

Like I said Alex is doing a very good overall job today that was just one he would like to have back I think he would tell you that

[matthewschiefs]

They should use Mccluster more on those runs he does really well on them

[brdempsey69]

That's it. Keep moving the chains and keep the Chiefs Defense off the field and fresh and rested. Cleveland can't win if they can't score.

[ctchiefsfan]

Offense looking much better except in the red zone.

[iratefan]

I think youre right in that of all the passes he remebers today, that will be at the top of the list.

I read an article this week that indicated that the wide open mcgrath pass he missed against the titans was something that weighted heavily on him post game even though they won the game. I like to hear that as it shows he is internalizing and learning.

[matthewschiefs]

And Alex again makes it happen with his legs something he doesn't get enough credit for

[ctchiefsfan]

Gotta love Smith! BIG BRASS BALLS!

[brdempsey69]

NICE !! TD pass to Sherman.

Browns Defense has not really stopped the Chiefs Offense thus far and the Browns Defense isn't that bad, except on 3rd down.

Nice 12-play 84-yard drive. Keep it up.

[matthewschiefs]

TOUCHDOWN KANSAS CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Sherman anther talked about move by Dorsey that has turned out well so far

DORSEY FOR GM OF THE YEAR it has to happen he did an AMAZING job

[iratefan]

that screen to sherman was really well done, and not really by alex smith... but the receiver corps blocking up field execution was perfect.

[ctchiefsfan]

Td td td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rodu]

I like that we have a FB that the defense has to pay attention to

[iratefan]

Gotta love Smith! BIG BRASS BALLS!


Ill take dink and dunk screens that go to the endzone all day against the middle blitz and man covg.

[ctchiefsfan]

Keep this up! D getting plenty of rest. O scoring on every possession!!!

[ctchiefsfan]

I REALLY LIKE Smith! Lots of things I would like him to do better, but I think he is going to be GREAT for us!

[matthewschiefs]

Keep this up! D getting plenty of rest. O scoring on every possession!!!

Yep

This is the offense we will need to beat Denver keep control of the ball score and keep Manning on the sidelines This is the offense we will need to win against the better teams I like it

[matthewschiefs]

Mccluster got lucky there that we didn't lose the ball that can't happen

[brdempsey69]

Three and out for the 3rd time. C'mon Chiefs. Take Cleveland and run them off the field. Let's get the running game going and maybe get a play-action pass for a big play.

[ctchiefsfan]

Thank God that muff was recovered!

[rodu]

be like a pitbull, grab this game by the neck, shake it till the Browns go limp and don't let go till the final whistle blows

[brdempsey69]

I REALLY LIKE Smith! Lots of things I would like him to do better, but I think he is going to be GREAT for us!

This what they need from Alex Smith -- to move the ball consistently and put points on the scoreboard, because like I've said before, nobody is going to score much against the Chiefs Defense.

[matthewschiefs]

Mccluster keeps proving me right about him he is a weapon folks when used right

[iratefan]

I REALLY LIKE Smith! Lots of things I would like him to do better, but I think he is going to be GREAT for us!

I would like to say that I completely agree. Of course there should be some understanding of his limitations as a qb - but the things that he can do and can do well are doing very good things for this offense. And its not like every other qb in the league dont also have those same , or other limitations. Not everyone is a Peyton Manning. But the way he plays in this system when things are going well are very fun to watch.

I am hoping that this offensive unit just gets stronger as time goes on. For instance I see new targets rising through this season like mcgrath and sherman that have been getting increasingly more attention into the gameplan that adds new dimensions to the offense. getting DMC doing some things out of the back field. Lots of encouraging things happening.

[ctchiefsfan]

Dex having a great day catching the ball! Smith spreading the ball around!

[matthewschiefs]

That's a horrible spot

[matthewschiefs]

Go for it

[brdempsey69]

I think it's time to start feeding Knile Davis the football at least 15-20 times the rest of this game & give him some work. Never know, he might pop a big one.

Andy Reid showing his coaching savvy by challenging where the ball was spotted.

[matthewschiefs]

Good Challange

[iratefan]

how the hell did smith escape that sack? smith had a very bad spot there i think that should be challenged

[ctchiefsfan]

i would like to say that i completely agree. Of course there should be some understanding of his limitations as a qb - but the things that he can do and can do well are doing very good things for this offense. And its not like every other qb in the league dont also have those same , or other limitations. Not everyone is a peyton manning. But the way he plays in this system when things are going well are very fun to watch.

I am hoping that this offensive unit just gets stronger as time goes on. For instance i see new targets rising through this season like mcgrath and sherman that have been getting increasingly more attention into the gameplan that adds new dimensions to the offense. Getting dmc doing some things out of the back field. Lots of encouraging things happening.

great post!!!!!!!!!!!!

what did i tell you !!

[ctchiefsfan]

Yes yes yes!!!!!! Great challenge!!!!!!! First down!!!!!!

[ctchiefsfan]

what did i tell you !!

That's why I gave the thums up!

[ctchiefsfan]

CRAP! Dex hurt.......

[matthewschiefs]

First drive we don't score on damn

[iratefan]

if youre going to go for a fg there why not go for the first down? thats a little out of succop's usual range.

[ctchiefsfan]

DAMN! Wind caught it!

[rodu]

that little breeze got it at there end, damn

[matthewschiefs]

That was to easy

This defense seems to look really bad 1 drive a game

[brdempsey69]

Defense is not getting pressure on the QB. And now they score in two plays.

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta get some more points now!

[iratefan]

so apparently the chiefs are prone to flea-flickers. is this really the tape turner was watching from the oakland raiders?

[brdempsey69]

Let's go Offense. Get it back.

[iratefan]

uhh i dont qualify flea-flicker plays as an indication of a defense's effectiveness. Theyre a 'trick play' designed solely to open up the coverage down field. theyre one-off plays from the chiefs otherwise shutting the browns offense down.

[ctchiefsfan]

Jc jc jc!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Come on offense get 7 not 3

[matthewschiefs]

MCCUSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love having Mccluster on this team

[2010chiefs]

Touchdown Kansas City !!!!!!!

[iratefan]

great block execution on that jc 1st down conversion

[Lord-Chiefy]

Td JC

[brdempsey69]

THERE!! Alex put that one where it needed to be and it's SIX POINTS !!

[ctchiefsfan]

DEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take that Brownies!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Booya... tats called answering!!

[iratefan]

OMG CHECK OUT THAT STRIKE BY SMITH/MCCLUSTER!!!!

McCluster finally makes a jumping dive catch on one that he really doesnt typically make!

[2010chiefs]

What a pass. I thought it was too long but mcclustrer hauled it in! Great job .

[matthewschiefs]

Alex Smith haters everywhere are upset today LOL

[iratefan]

Anyone else noticed Alex Smith this first half has pump faked several times passing to his right, where in previous games the pass would be released and batted down at the line? hes learning not to make that throw which is very encouraging.

[brdempsey69]

Alex Smith haters everywhere are upset today LOL

Let them hate and continue to be stupid. We all know his worth, here.

Nice tackle, Eric Berry.

But, please get Josh Gordon covered.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Come on prevent d b.s.

[iratefan]

What a pass. I thought it was too long but mcclustrer hauled it in! Great job .

mccluster is a short guy for a receiver, so its a bit difficult putting a line pass on a guy that height where he doesnt have to make a bit of an extension to catch it. smith has had a habit earlier in the season of way over throwing for mccluster's height, where it would have otherwise been very catchable balls for a guy of bowe's height.

[matthewschiefs]

And the defense is trying to give it right back :(

[ctchiefsfan]

Cmon D shut em down!

[Lord-Chiefy]

No qb pressure all day

[brdempsey69]

Got to make some Defensive adjustments at halftime.

Good, they have to settle for a FG try.

[iratefan]

Come on prevent d b.s.

ehhh - looks like they brought he house on the blitz, they kinda relied on the cb's to keep the covg but sean smith was almost picked.
that gordon dude is one fast guy!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Pls miss

[ctchiefsfan]

Cmon D FINISH THEM!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need to get our chit together!!! We are relaxing and it's b.s.

[Eydugstr]

Kick A$$. First a TD by Sherman, now a TD by McCluster.

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Great half for the offense the D was great outside a couple of big plays that they will have to clean up lets hope for even better in the 2nd half

[ctchiefsfan]

YUP!!!!!! Need Sutton to make some adjustments for the long ball and shut these people down!

[Lord-Chiefy]

282 yds offense 1st half awesome. 2fg and a missed one not good. Our d is getting ll azyyyy!!!!!!!!

[brdempsey69]

Those last two possessions by the Browns Offense were too easy for them. Defense has got to step it up in the 2nd half. Let's hope the Offense can score 20 more points in the 2nd half.

[Chiefster]

Horrible decision by Reid to attempt the 52 yard field goal. That was a 10 point swing.

Absolutely, we need to continue that trend of solid second half adjustments.

[Eydugstr]

If Sean Smith can't get his head in the game better, I say give Cooper another shot. Defensively DJ has been the story so far, but if Sutton follows his own trend, he'll be bringing the house in the second half. The defense really didn't bite on the flea flicker as bad as other teams might've, it's just that Sean S. let the reciever get behind him enough to execute.

[brdempsey69]

Horrible decision by Reid to attempt the 52 yard field goal. That was a 10 point swing.

Agreed. Might as well have done a pooch-punt & the worst that can happen is it goes into the end zone and they start at their own 20-yard line.

You notice that Joe Thomas is showing the value of a stud Tackle as Hali has made no headway against him thus far. Let's hope Fisher rises to that level very quickly. Fisher did give Alex good protection on his TD throw to Dex.

[kcvet]

great call for that screen TD

[Lord-Chiefy]

Flat out we need to pressure the frikin qb

[Chiefster]

Agreed! Fisher needs to continue to improve his game and the defense needs to start giving them different "looks" and get to the QB.

[Eydugstr]

great call for that screen TD

Agreed. It hasn't been mentioned a whole lot, but the Chiefs have been really good at running screen plays all game.

[Chiefster]

great call for that screen TD


...And executed to perfection!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We have I've 100 yds rushing and they have -1 yds..

[Lord-Chiefy]

Cleveland has nothing to lose they are gonna sling it!!@

[kcvet]

2nd half T'd up and ready ta go

[brdempsey69]

Need a stop by the Defense on this first Browns Offensive series in the 2nd half.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Lazy d c'mon

[Lord-Chiefy]

They are -1 yds rushing. Tg eyes are Ggonna throw it!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Gone over!!@ cuts a shoot out our d are veibg dumb assets

[Lewis_Chiefs]

The defense has been off today so far. They need to step it up.

[brdempsey69]

No pressure on the Browns QB and they are moving the ball at will.

[ctchiefsfan]

Need the D to step up!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Missed a sack this might be a game the offense is going to have to win

[Lord-Chiefy]

Can't get ax sack to save our lives!!

[ctchiefsfan]

DAMMIT! Almost had a sach there!

[brdempsey69]

Really could use a turnover. The Chiefs Offense is going to have to carry the day in this game, it looks like.

[Lord-Chiefy]

We are playing like we have a 3 score lead with 2 min left!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Din t go fir it

[iratefan]

this is really the josh gordon show... and jason campbell is doing a good job if getting the ball out before the pocket collapses. hes got about 3 seconds to do it, if that, on any given play. I wouldnt really call this defensive effort lazy - i think we need serious help covering josh gordon to shut that threat down.

[ctchiefsfan]

Stop the FG!!!!

[brdempsey69]

C'mon Defense. Get back in the game.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Crap!!@ no pressure

[Lord-Chiefy]

We deserve to lose the way were playing

[ctchiefsfan]

Stop em!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

D is just not doing the job right now

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Lazy az d we will lose.

[brdempsey69]

F#$K !! The Chiefs pass-defense looked like crap on that series.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Complacent pos D

[ctchiefsfan]

This one is going to be up to the O. GO ALEX!!!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

F#$K !! The Chiefs pass-defense looked like crap on that series.
You mean the last 3 series?? B.s. were giving them the game

[Lewis_Chiefs]

What has happened to the defense !?! Not getting the usual pass rush and they look like getting burned on every play.

[2010chiefs]

Looks like they figured out our defense. Our secondary is getting beat .

[Lord-Chiefy]

7-1..ty d

[matthewschiefs]

What has happened to the defense !?! Not getting the usual pass rush and they look like getting burned on every play.

Every D has a bad game or 2 this seems to be ours

[brdempsey69]

The Browns have scored the last 3 times they've had the ball. That has got to stop.

[2010chiefs]

Lucky for us Alex Smith is making plays. If he keeps it up we'll win. C'mon offense!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Given them the game... disgusting

[iratefan]

that was a sorry looking series...

[brdempsey69]

Why is this Chad Hall guy even on the roster, let alone in the game? He brings nothing to the Chiefs receiver core.

Charles is out for the rest of the game, it appears.

[Lord-Chiefy]

I wAnna kill myself!!!! They gave up at 13-0

[kcvet]

oh gawd charles out with a knee injury

[Lord-Chiefy]

Well we will drop to ranked 15th with this loss

[Lewis_Chiefs]

This is not looking good and I'm usually an optimist.

[ctchiefsfan]

Our offense needs to dig deep and show how much they want to win this game. D needs to stop coasting!

[ctchiefsfan]

That's better!

[brdempsey69]

The Chiefs pass-rush and overall pass-defense isn't there today.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Same old chiefs.. getting run over looks like 2012

[brdempsey69]

Really need a sack, fumble, or interception.

[2010chiefs]

With Charles out we're screwed. I hope I'm wrong and I hope he's ok.

[matthewschiefs]

Finally a stop

[ctchiefsfan]

STOP!!!!!!

[brdempsey69]

Let's go Offense. Take it down the field and score.

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need a TD not a FG not a punt!!! We need to turn the momentum

[iratefan]

that was a well designed blitz there by the chiefs - and notice that outside receiver was double covered at the marker. that whole play was designed to stop the browns short of the sticks there.

This D knows that Campbell is showing them way more than i think anyone would give him credit for. that kid is getting those throws out FAST!

[ctchiefsfan]

OK......Time for the long drive! Long drive and TD will kill their momentum!

[brdempsey69]

Three and out & nobody got open on 3rd down.

[ctchiefsfan]

Just need us to get to the last 6 minutes with a lead and our D will pull it together.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Loser o coordinator

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iratefan]

way too much time smith held on to that ball . sure they brought they house, but where is the dump option?!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We have called uncle

[brdempsey69]

I hate to see the scenario two weeks in a row where the Offense does very good in the 1st half and then does nothing in the 2nd half. They need to get more points on the scoreboard.

[ctchiefsfan]

Anybody see how he got hurt?

[ctchiefsfan]

Stop 'em here deep in their end!

[rodu]

they're winning the second half, need to pick things up

[Lord-Chiefy]

Wtf why the Hell aren't aggressive

[ctchiefsfan]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rodu]

they're made the better half time adjustments that's for sure

[ctchiefsfan]

D looks lost.

[2010chiefs]

Defense is getting it handed to them , we need a turnover bad , c'mon defense.

[rodu]

someone needs to make a play

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need a frikin TD

[2010chiefs]

Good stop defense! Let's go offense!

[brdempsey69]

NOW !! The Chiefs Offense needs to put together a time consuming drive to a TD to re-establish control of this game.

[ctchiefsfan]

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

What happened to 281 yds 1st half offense??? We are giving the frikin game to them

[rodu]

we almost look like last years defense at the moment

[iratefan]

no one even came close to lining up on the line there on that 3rd and 3. they knew the dump was coming. they see they cant get to campbell fast enough. His WR's are too quick to get down field and the ball is out of his hands by the 4th step back.

please note that 3rd and 3 to be a defensive adjustment. and it very much payed off.

[kcvet]

we need that 4 qtr magic big time !!!

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit!

[matthewschiefs]

we almost look like last years defense at the moment

Yep I keep looking for Romeo he had to have found his way into the building

[ctchiefsfan]

Jeez louis!!!!!!

[iratefan]

how the hell does the center false-start?

meanwhile, nice strike to avery!

[Lord-Chiefy]

I cant watch this train wreck

[ctchiefsfan]

Smith to Avery!!!!!!!

[iratefan]

our line is getting owned up front this half. wtf?!

[ctchiefsfan]

Got to have a 1st down here!

[Lord-Chiefy]

I'm sorry but I'm goNna give up just like they have!! Were playin like we're 0-7

[2010chiefs]

Throw the frickin ball smith. Wtf oline!

[ctchiefsfan]

WTF??????????????????????

[iratefan]

the play calling has regressed. we were countering the 3rd down pressure brilliantly during the 1st half with well executed and designed screen options. where did the option go?

[Lord-Chiefy]

Wtf declined?? Gtfo Reid

[rodu]

Wtf declined?? Gtfo Reid

Colquit just got nailed, and our coverage men just sprinted downfield

[iratefan]

pretty sad when a 10 yard kicker obstruction penalty still wont get you the first down -_-

[ctchiefsfan]

Wtf declined?? Gtfo Reid

It was running into the kicker. Not roughing. Wouldn't have been a 1st down. Colquitt looked hurt. Reid picked the best of 2 bad options.

[Lord-Chiefy]

I really don't think we stand a chance of winning.. but if we do I hope it wakes us the puck up

[brdempsey69]

the play calling has regressed. we were countering the 3rd down pressure brilliantly during the 1st half with well executed and designed screen options. where did the option go?

Good question. Can't figure out why this Offense is going to sleep in the 2nd half two weeks in a row.

[Lord-Chiefy]

It was running into the kicker. Not roughing. Wouldn't have been a
1st down. Colquitt looked hurt. Reid picked the best of 2 bad options.

We are who everyone thought we here

[rodu]

what's coverage?

[matthewschiefs]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit!!!! Stop these bastids!!!!!!!!!!

[2010chiefs]

Finally a SACK!!!'

[iratefan]

that was actually kindof a bad throw by campbell - that was just a really good catch by the tight end. looked short and to the left. still that separation was too much, but thats what you get when you have to adjust the coverage to account for the shorter dumps.

[matthewschiefs]

Where has this D been they must have found Romeo and kicked him out of the building

[rodu]

finally

[Lord-Chiefy]

Coverage sack. We are rushing no stunts!!!! We need to mix it up!!! Pathetic

[iratefan]

i want to see another 4th and 48!

[ctchiefsfan]

Sack!!sack!!!!!!!! Sack!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we want 4th and 60!!!!!!!!!!!

[2010chiefs]

Berry was a beast on that series!

[brdempsey69]

Nice job, Eric Berry on those two consecutive plays.

[Lord-Chiefy]

No 99 yds TD win

[rodu]

so glad this isn't a night game, I'm up at 5

[rodu]

ugh, no room for error here

[Lord-Chiefy]

No TD no win

[iratefan]

so a 0.6 yard holding penalty. Ok Alex yuove got some work to do. OL try not to fold like a lawnchair.

[ctchiefsfan]

My ulcer is doing jumping jacks. Need a long drive for TD SOOOOOOOOO bad here! Brownies moving to well to try to hold onto a 3 point lead. GOTTA SCORE!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Omg stupid had throw..

[rodu]

phew, I'll take it

[matthewschiefs]

O line back to junk

[Lord-Chiefy]

We suck!!! 2012 all over again

[matthewschiefs]

That helps

[Lord-Chiefy]

Lucky turn over

[rodu]

sometimes you just deserve to loose

[ctchiefsfan]

Oh god I am getting sick.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Eric fisher got completely beaten on that 3rd down play.

[2010chiefs]

Fumble yeahhhh!!!!! So lucky!

[iratefan]

wtf was that playclock fiasco? it was like a timeout but it wasnt....

also i do NOT AGREE WITH a 2nd and 10 run call deep in our own endzone. this is some really **** offensive play design here in the second half so far. fisher is getting ****ed all day long and the OL has completely imploded. this is so disappointing to watch

[ctchiefsfan]

Colquitt is hurt

[rodu]

phew

[2010chiefs]

What was that crap?

[Lord-Chiefy]

Wtf was that???, dumb ***

[matthewschiefs]

Our "top 5" Lt ladies and gentelmen

[rodu]

I'll settle for a fg here if the drive takes around 7:02

[iratefan]

no no no NO!!!!!

a 1st and 10 in mid field charles needs to RUN THAT BALL - none of this raiders fleaflicker bull**** that was just an awful call!!!!

[2010chiefs]

Thank you Charles thank you thank you.

[ctchiefsfan]

FIRST DOWN!!!! FIRST DOWN!!!!!!!! fIRST DOWN!!!!!!!!!
