Game Preview from ESPN.com (http://espn.go.com/nfl/preview?gameId=400791488):

The fourth game of the season brought opposite feelings for the Chicago Bears (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/chi/chicago-bears)and Kansas City Chiefs (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/kc/kansas-city-chiefs).
Panic started to settle in for the Chiefs, who have lost three straight after a season-opening win. Relief finally came for the Bears, who avoided setting the longest losing streak in franchise history.

Kansas City will try to keep the sky from falling Sunday against a Chicago team looking for its first road win since last October.

The Bears (1-3) didn't have any victories since November until a 22-20 win over Oakland last Sunday. It was the first win in the John Fox era, and he was happy to see his players enjoy it after getting outscored 74-23 in their previous two games.

"I was really happy to see smiles in there," Fox said. "I'm really happy for our fans because we haven't exactly lit it up here at home in the first two opportunities."

After snapping a team-record-tying eight-game losing streak, Chicago will now try to end a five-game skid on the road. The Bears lost 26-0 to Seattle in their only game away from home this season in Week 3.

In place of the injured Jay Cutler (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/9597/jay-cutler), backup Jimmy Clausen (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13198/jimmy-clausen) failed to move the offense against the Seahawks. Cutler returned against the Raiders and finished 28 of 43 for 281 yards and a pair of touchdowns with an interception.

Cutler threw another fourth-quarter pick, his second in two full games and third overall, but he completed 5 of 8 passes for 41 yards during a game-winning drive that ended with Robbie Gould (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/9354/robbie-gould)'s 49-yard field goal with 2 seconds left.

Cutler returned from a hamstring injury suffered during a 48-23 loss to Arizona on Sept. 20, and top receiver Alshon Jeffery (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14912/alshon-jeffery) hopes to return this week from the same injury that has kept him out three games.

The question now is the health of the offensive line, which lost center Will Montgomery (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/9820/will-montgomery) for the season when he broke his left leg early against the Raiders. The Bears, already without tackle Jermon Bushrod (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/10568/jermon-bushrod) (concussion/shoulder), shifted Matt Slauson (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/12728/matt-slauson) from guard to center and moved the newly acquired Patrick Omameh (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/16327/patrick-omameh) into Slauson's regular spot.

"It happens at a lot of positions in a lot of football games in the National Football League," Fox said. "All your backups have to be ready to play in a moment's notice, particularly in the O-line because it is such a group dynamic."

The offensive line was one of several problems for the Chiefs in their latest ugly loss. Kansas City (1-3) allowed five sacks during a 36-21 loss at Cincinnati, upping its NFL-leading total to 19. The Bears have just six sacks.

After committing five turnovers and fumbling away a 31-24 home loss to Denver on Sept. 17, the Chiefs surrendered 893 yards combined in a 38-28 defeat in Green Bay and last week against the Bengals -- a statistic they ranked seventh-best in the NFL in last year.

Cincinnati's Andy Dalton (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14012/andy-dalton) threw for 321 yards last week as Jeremy Hill (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/16803/jeremy-hill) andGiovani Bernard (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15826/giovani-bernard) combined for four rushing touchdowns.

The Chiefs have allowed 30 points or more in three straight games for the first time since the final game of the 2010 season and the first two of 2011. Coach Andy Reid hardly spoke with the media following the loss in Green Bay, but he seemed more optimistic Monday.

"I had a chance to talk to them on the plane ride back, and they take accountability for things, too," Reid said. "It's one of the reasons I like this team. We have a bunch of young guys. We just have to eliminate some stuff. If we do, we can be a pretty good football team."

Kansas City has an opportunity to improve its record during a stretch of three of four games at home prior to its bye week. After Chicago, the Chiefs head on the road to play 2-2 Minnesota before hosting a Pittsburgh team that will likely still be without Ben Roethlisberger (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/5536/ben-roethlisberger) and winless Detroit.

Chicago plays in Detroit and, after its bye, hosts the Vikings. The Bears then face a challenging stretch against San Diego, St. Louis, Denver and Green Bay.

When the Chiefs run

EDGE >> CHIEFS
The Bears have been young up the middle without nose tackle Jeremiah Ratliff, who said he will play this week (http://chicago.suntimes.com/bears-football/7/71/1020058/bears-dl-jeremiah-ratliff-ill-play-sunday) after dealing with an ankle injury and serving a three-game suspension. The return of Ratliff (6-4, 303) and the continued improvement of talented rookie second-round pick Eddie Goldman (6-4, 336) will help a unit that has some questions at inside linebacker, where the Bears’ starters are either young (second-year pro Christian Jones) or fairly inexperienced at the position (Shea McClellin). McClellin (6-3, 245) is a former outside linebacker and defensive end who is calling defensive plays for the first time (http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/885179/shea-mcclellin-feels-comfortable-calling-plays-linebacker) in his four-year career and and leads the team in tackles with 37. That said, Chiefs might be wise to test the interior of the Bears’ defense by giving some early carries to star running back Jamaal Charles, who is as explosive as ever.

When the Chiefs pass

EDGE >> CHIEFS
After years as a 4-3 team,the Bears are adjusting to a new 3-4 defense under head coach John Fox. The Bears signed former Baltimore outside linebacker Pernell McPhee (6-3, 275) to lead the transition. He uses his size, power and technique to win at the point and is good vs. the run and pass. He has six quarterback pressures, two sacks and an interception. He will line up on both sides of the formation, but defensive end Jarvis Jenkins (6-4, 315) actually leads the team in sacks with three. He’s got enough power to push the pocket. Safety Antrel Rolle (6-0, 206) is the leader of the secondary; he is tough, experienced and is a Super Bowl champion. He is also doubtful with an ankle injury. If he can’t play, the Bears could start rookie Harold Jones-Quartey next to another rookie safety, Adrian Amos. The Chiefs could exploit that, especially with Alex Smith and Jeremy Maclin finding a groove the last two weeks. Speaking of Maclin, he could see plenty of cornerback Tracy Porter (5-11, 190), who shadowed Raiders rookie Amari Cooper and limited him to 49 yards on four catches a week ago. The Chiefs could also have some success throwing to their backs and tight ends, as the Bears’ linebackers occasionally struggled to tackle in space against the Raiders.

When the Bears run

EDGE >> BEARS
Running back Matt Forte (http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-top100-2015/0ap3000000496420/Top-100-Players-of-2015-No-48-Matt-Forte) (6-2, 218) is a shifty, tough and versatile workhorse who has earned the Chiefs’ respect (http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article38238783.html). He rushed for over 1,000 yards last year and set the NFL single-season record for most receptions by a running back (102). The Bears are not throwing it to him as much this year but he makes the offense go. The Bears will even use a little Wildcat with him here and there. This is a team that will line up in power sets and run the ball at you — the line provides a little push, too — so the Chiefs’ defensive front will need to match their physicality. Nose tackle Jaye Howard (6-3, 301) is in the midst of a career year; he leads the team with four tackles for loss and also has 23 tackles, the second most on the team. That’s absurd for an interior lineman. The Bears’ starting center, Will Montgomery, is out for the season with an injury, and his replacement, rookie Hroniss Grasu (6-3, 297), is set to make his first career start (http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago-bears/post/_/id/4700316/center-hroniss-grasu-moves-closer-to-making-first-career-nfl-start). Grasu, a third-round pick, was highly thought of coming out of college because of his smarts, toughness and collegiate production, but Howard needs to take advantage of this matchup. It will be interesting to see if the Bears, who seem to prefer two-tight looks, will mimic the Packers and Bengals and try to use three-wide personnel to run on the Chiefs’ nickel subpackage, which has been leaky against the run.

When the Bears pass

EDGE >> CHIEFS
Jay Cutler (6-3, 220) was back last week after missing the Bears’ week three game against Seattle with a hamstring injury. He led the Bears to their first touchdown in seven quarters last week and threw for nearly 300 yards. Cutler has outstanding arm talent but his accuracy wavers at times and he has a reputation for turning the ball over under pressure. He also throws with a low trajectory, which leads to tipped passes at the line of scrimmage. Tight end Martellus Bennett (6-6, 273) is a big, athletic target who is in the midst of a career season. He is Cutler’s security blanket, along with Forte. Alshon Jeffery (6-3, 216) and Eddie Royal (5-10, 185) are good receivers, but they’ve been injured recently. Royal, a former San Diego Charger, has hurt the Chiefs with his quickness in the past. Third-year pro Marquess Wilson (6-4, 199) is a big receiver who has also emerged as a bit of a revelation. Left tackle Jermon Bushrod (concussion) cannot play, so Tamba Hali needs to go at his replacement, Charles Leno, Jr. (6-3, 302). The Bears surrendered some pressure off the edge against the Raiders, so the Chiefs need to try to duplicate that.

Special teams

EDGE >> CHIEFS
Kicker Robbie Gould had an extra point blocked last week, but is a perfect 9-for-9 on field goals. He also made the game-winner against the Raiders. The Chiefs’ Cairo Santos is perfect on extra points and 10-for-11 on the field goals, but he gets the slight edge this week because he boasts a superior touchback percentage. Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt has the edge over Pat O’Donnell on punts inside the 20, and the Chiefs’ coverage units have a big edge, as kick returner Knile Davis and punt return De’Anthony Thomas should have room to work. The Bears have surrendered two kick returns for touchdowns.

Coaching

EDGE >> BEARS
Bears coach John Fox is 5-4 all-time against Chiefs coach Andy Reid. Reid has the edge in career winning percentage (.583 to .566), but Fox has the edge in Super Bowl appearances (two to Reid’s one). Offensive coordinator Adam Gase guided a prolific offense under Fox in Denver from 2013 to 2014, while defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is one of the best in the business — his defenses in San Francisco from 2011 to 2014 were tough, physical, well-coached and aggressive. Meanwhile, the Chiefs’ 1-3 start has rightfully opened the playcalling on both sides of the ball to criticism.

X-factor

EDGE >> CHIEFS
While the Bears recently dealt Jared Allen and Jon Bostic, two solid contributors, to accelerate their rebuild, the Chiefs’ season hangs in the balance here. Whatever playoff hopes they harbored before the season could go up in smoke with their fourth straight loss. The Royals play Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Sunday, but that game doesn’t start until 3 p.m. central, and the Chiefs game should be over by then. Nevertheless, it will be particularly interesting to see what kind of crowd this game attracts.

Bottom line: Chiefs 30-16

The Chiefs’ last three opponents are a combined 12-0, so there’s a pretty good chance the Chiefs aren’t as bad as their record. And while it must be considered a disappointment that they did not compete better against the league’s best, though doesn’t mean the season is already a wash. The Bears are coming off their first win of the season, but expect the Chiefs to get back on the right track here and set up a big road test against a frisky Minnesota team next week.

[TopekaRoy]

Many of you know that the Bears are my favorite team and the only time I ever root against the Chiefs is that one game every four years when they play each other.

Well, not today.

It's clear that the Bears are not going anywhere this year. They have already started trading away whoever they can for whatever draft pick another team is willing to part with. The best thing the Bears can do is lose every game and make sure that those picks are as high as possible. On the other hand, I believe that the Chiefs still have a chance of making the playoffs this year despite their slow start. But I would like to see both teams play better and give us a good game to watch. So today I'm rooting for the Bears to cover the point spread (-9) but I'm rooting for the Chiefs to win.

Go Chiefs!

[kcvet]

as usual a first rate job TR. let's see if we can grin and "Bear" it today :sign0087:

[Chiefs4life24]

Best news all weekend Marcus Cooper inactive today, that means 3rd round CB Steven Nelson will start today

[brdempsey69]

Best news all weekend Marcus Cooper inactive today, that means 3rd round CB Steven Nelson will start today

I'm hoping Nelson is up to the challenge. I've wondering about him, since we haven't seen him in uniform since the regular season began. The Chiefs desperately need him to become a viable slot CB, because if he doesn't, then the Defense is never going to be very good this year.

[Chiefs4life24]

Bears are without Alshon Jeffrey and Eddie Royal at WR, Josh Bellamy and Marquess Wilson to start at WR. Bears also starting 2 rookie Safeties as S Antrel Rolls injured

[kcvet]

Bears run D pretty bad so hopefully #25 runs wild

[brdempsey69]

Bears run D pretty bad so hopefully #25 runs wild

Yes, I hope the fancy-schmancy BS that has repeatedly negated scoring drives gets thrown out and today they go back to basic football.

[Chiefs4life24]

And stop the stupid drive killing penalties

[TopekaRoy]

Bears are without Alshon Jeffrey and Eddie Royal at WR, Josh Bellamy and Marquess Wilson to start at WR. Bears also starting 2 rookie Safeties as S Antrel Rolls injured

Yeah, half their roster is either out or playing hurt. This should be an easy win for the Chiefs. https://d30y9cdsu7xlg0.cloudfront.net/png/115782-200.png

[Eydugstr]

Here's what I'd like to see today...If we get into another situation where we're on 4th down, and around with 2-3 yards to go and inside their 30 yd line....we go for it.

[kcvet]

Yes, I hope the fancy-schmancy BS that has repeatedly negated scoring drives gets thrown out and today they go back to basic football.

well we'll see what bag a tricks Reid comes up with

[matthewschiefs]

If we can't get this one there is no hope at all

GET IT DONE CHIEFS

[slc chief]

I see a big game from Alex smith coming up

[slc chief]

Chicago center is out both starting wr's if we can't get this done we suck bad

[Chiefs4life24]

So far defence getting destroyed

[jason1981]

Defense needs a big game to gain some confidence back.

[kcvet]

now we'll see about this O line. alive or dead ??

[TopekaRoy]

So far defence getting destroyed

That's a bit of an exaggeration. The Bears never even made it across the 50 yd line.

[matthewschiefs]

oh great 3 and out from the offense

[brdempsey69]

3 and out, of course. No guts to go with power on that 3rd and 1 and just try to blast for that 1 yard.

[Chiefs4life24]

That's a bit of an exaggeration. The Bears never even made it across the 50 yd line.

Good to see the Secondary continues to have struggles not

[Chiefs4life24]

Safety and maybe Touchdown

[TopekaRoy]

Last week the Chiefs kicked 7 FGs. Maybe this week they will get a bunch of Safeties.

Defense getting "destroyed?"

[matthewschiefs]

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


D puts points on the board

[Chiefs4life24]

Sack and Fumble and Touchdown KC

[kcvet]

D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6

[TopekaRoy]

Nevermind. If the offense can't score TDs, the defense will just have to do it!

[brdempsey69]

It is a TD. Recovery by Ramik Wilson. Keep Wilson as the starting ILB, as Mauga is not an impact player on this Defense.

[matthewschiefs]

Ball was out has to stand

[ctchiefsfan]

Anybody got a stream they can suggest? None of the ones Roy posted seem to be working for me.

Bears are ranked 5th against the pass and 25th against the run.

False alarm. I got one of them to work.

[Chiefs4life24]

Think god the d decided to show up today

[ctchiefsfan]

All these penalties suggest the crowd is having an effect on the Bears.

[kcvet]

3rd and 18 gotta get off the field

[matthewschiefs]

3rd and 18 and they can't get them off the field SMH

[Chiefs4life24]

WOW gave up 3rd and 18

[brdempsey69]

The Chiefs 3rd down Defense just flat out SUCKS this season. No two ways about it.

[kcvet]

what's new??

[kcvet]

Bears rollin now

What? He kicked a FG? Confused.

Shanked the kickoff.

[Eydugstr]

Horrible throw

[brdempsey69]

Horrible throw

But of course, and let's all blame Eric Fisher for the Offensive ineptitude. Fisher's being a bust is causing all this [sarcasm].

[kcvet]

let's see if they can put a drive together and actually SCORE !!!

[ctchiefsfan]

Shanked the kickoff.

Ah...OK. My stream was lagging.

[kcvet]

ah forget that

[TopekaRoy]

Great punt!

[kcvet]

great kick !!!

[matthewschiefs]

Maclin drop UGH

[brdempsey69]

let's see if they can put a drive together and actually SCORE !!!

Nope. 3 and out because of the usual pass-happy crap & not feeding Charles the rock or trying play-action.

[jason1981]

Told you nothing will change with reid calling the plays. Reid sucks.

[N TX Dave]

Where is the run? Six plays 5 passes with only 2 completions for 10 yards, 1 run for 5 yards.

[matthewschiefs]

There you go defense

[TopekaRoy]

Good defensive stand there for the Chiefs. Now RUN the football!

[Eydugstr]

But of course, and let's all blame Eric Fisher for the Offensive ineptitude. Fisher's being a bust is causing all this [sarcasm].
You mean there's another person to blame??? lol

[matthewschiefs]

Good field position can the offense actually take advantage of it

[NickheadKCAU]

But of course, and let's all blame Eric Fisher for the Offensive ineptitude. Fisher's being a bust is causing all this [sarcasm].
you need to let this fisher business go dude... seriously.

[brdempsey69]

Told you nothing will change with reid calling the plays. Reid sucks.

And the problem with this passy-happy crap is the O-Line doesn't get opportunities to drive defenders back and establish any type of foothold & no play-action passing to attempt to get big plays downfield.

[jason1981]

Reid is taking charles out of the game knce again with this pass happy crap.

[Chiefs4life24]

Former Chief LS Thomas Gafford Credited with tackling DAT

[matthewschiefs]

We got a 1st down begin the celebrations

[Eydugstr]

First down!!!

[brdempsey69]

you need to let this fisher business go dude... seriously.

Why should I? The media certainly hasn't with all their negative crap.

Just simply pass it on by, if it doesn't interest you, and I was talking directly to eydugstr, anyways.

[TopekaRoy]

Charles should have caught that one. Actually, they should be handing him the ball.

[matthewschiefs]

GEE

Ummm Alex Charles is not 7 feet tall

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown! DAT!

[matthewschiefs]

TOUCHDOWN KANSAS CITY

FINALLY finishing a drive

[kcvet]

TD !!!!!!!!

[Eydugstr]

Td!!!!!!!

[kcvet]

that's another WR TD

[brdempsey69]

What do you know? A horizontal pass actually worked for a TD.

[kcvet]

What do you know? A horizontal pass actually worked for a TD.

call ESPN

[Chiefs4life24]

What do you know? A horizontal pass actually worked for a TD.

You know what that means Reid's gonna be like oh yeah more more more now. That's DAT's first Receiving touchdown

[brdempsey69]

You know what that means Reid's gonna be like oh yeah more more more now. That's DAT's first Receiving touchdown

That's my biggest fear. And sooner or later it's going to backfire.

[Chiefs4life24]

Aaron Rogers threw his first INT at Lambaue

[jason1981]

You know what that means Reid's gonna be like oh yeah more more more now. That's DAT's first Receiving touchdown

Thats what im afraid of. Im really starting to hate ried as a play caller.

[matthewschiefs]

STUFFED HIM

Great job by Howard

[kcvet]

D stop on 3rd YES

[brdempsey69]

Jaye Howard is establishing himself as a keeper.

[Eydugstr]

Good job D

[Chiefs4life24]

Abdullah block in the back

[matthewschiefs]

That was just stupid cant do that

[TopekaRoy]

Flag.

Bullet, meet foot.

[Chiefs4life24]

Yep another horizontal pass

[TopekaRoy]

There's that horizontal pass to DAT again.

[ctchiefsfan]

First down.

[matthewschiefs]

Alex has had a number of overthrows today

[Chiefs4life24]

Great Patients Alex

[matthewschiefs]

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

[Eydugstr]

Yep another horizontal pass

lol here we go

[ctchiefsfan]

Charles!!!

[TopekaRoy]

Too many passes. They need a better mix of run and pass.

[brdempsey69]

Getting pass-happy.

[ctchiefsfan]

Need to be pounding the ball with Charles.

[Chiefs4life24]

See that's what I don't understand great coverage by the bears but how can you beat them on one pass play and the next nobody can get open

[kcvet]

another 3rd

[Chiefs4life24]

Fisher got destroyed by Mcphee

[kcvet]

sacko city

[brdempsey69]

And a sack on 3rd down of course.

[ctchiefsfan]

Too many passes. They need a better mix of run and pass.


Getting pass-happy.

Just so.

[NickheadKCAU]

Why should I? The media certainly hasn't with all their negative crap.

Just simply pass it on by, if it doesn't interest you, and I was talking directly to eydugstr, anyways.
dare i say you spend more time defending fisher than opposing defenses.

[kcvet]

we should be digging Chicago's grave

[Eydugstr]

Why do we keep giving them chances....

[TopekaRoy]

Another promising drive stalled by bad pass happy play calling.

You have one of the all-time best running backs and you're playing the 25th ranked rushing defense. I don't get it.

[jason1981]

Fisher got destroyed by Mcphee

If fisher would have stuck with the block be would have been fine.

[kcvet]

over all the O line is working

[brdempsey69]

dare i say you spend more time defending fisher than opposing defenses.

Nobody is defending him on the sack given up. And dare I say again that I was talking directly to eydugstr and not making a general statement to everyone.

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs defense looking better today, but they should look better against the Bears mostly 2nd string offense.

[ctchiefsfan]

Another promising drive stalled by bad pass happy play calling.

YUP. Makes no sense.

[Chiefs4life24]

Jesus Christ Reid enough please your killing me

[TopekaRoy]

And now the Bears lose their 2ND STRING nose tackle. This is ridiculous.

[NickheadKCAU]

Nobody is defending him on the sack given up. And dare I say again that I was talking directly to eydugstr and not making a general statement to everyone.
sorry to burst your bubble but you are talking on a public forum.

its not like i hacked your personal message folder.

look, ive agreed with you fisher is not the problem. im just saying you sound like a broken record at this point.

[ctchiefsfan]

Chiefs defense looking better today, but they should look better against the Bears mostly 2nd string offense.

That's the problem....we are not looking as good as we should against a beat-up 3-1 team. I'll take any win we can get, but we should have put them away by now.

[Eydugstr]

Nice throw nice catch

[kcvet]

Mackin double play

[TopekaRoy]

Run ... the ... ball!

[brdempsey69]

sorry to burst your bubble but you are talking on a public forum.

its not like i hacked your personal message folder.

look, ive agreed with you fisher is not the problem. im just saying you sound like a broken record at this point.

And you sound like a mother-hen chicken that just had its head cut off and can't read. I will tell for the 3rd time, I was talking directly to eydugstr, and nobody was rattling your cage, so if it doesn't interest you, then pass it on by, as what's being said isn't bashing a player and isn't directed at you.

[ctchiefsfan]

Where in hell is the running game?

[kcvet]

Kelse

[ctchiefsfan]

Finally!

[kcvet]

sack jez

[TopekaRoy]

Sack. Too many passes.

[kcvet]

AS11 hanging on to it to long

[ctchiefsfan]

Oh jeez! Not again!

[brdempsey69]

Kendall Gammon is calling out Grubbs for making mistakes.

[kcvet]

Mackins' a tool

[ctchiefsfan]

sack. Too many passes.

exactly!

[ctchiefsfan]

Maclin having an amazing game.

[Chiefs4life24]

Kendall Gammon is calling out Grubbs for making mistakes.

The TV announcers said Grubbs and Stevenson gave up that last sack

[Chiefster]

Take a shot to the endzone before kicki g the field goal.

[Chiefster]

Playing for 3.

[kcvet]

17-3 not bad

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Good half overall but we should be hammering this Bears team, they are dreadful.

[Chiefs4life24]

Very good lead nothing wrong with the field goal their

[ctchiefsfan]

What in hell is the FG team coming out for? 12 seconds left there is plenty of time to throw one more into the end zone and if it's incomplete you still have time to kick the FG.

[Chiefster]

Defense ha e played well today.

[matthewschiefs]

Playing for 3.

Pretty much not sure what the point of running that play was Oh well

[ctchiefsfan]

Take a shot to the endzone before kicki g the field goal.

Agreed.


Playing for 3.

Yup. And it sucks.

[Chiefster]

Man Santos has a big leg!

[brdempsey69]

The TV announcers said Grubbs and Stevenson gave up that last sack

Too pass-happy when they really don't need to be, although I can understand putting it in the air on a two-minute drill.

[Chiefs4life24]

What in hell is the FG team coming out for? 12 seconds left there is plenty of time to throw one more into the end zone and if it's incomplete you still have time to kick the FG.

It was 4th down CT so if we didn't get it turnover on down

[ctchiefsfan]

Too pass-happy when they really don't need to be,

Yup.


although I can understand putting it in the air on a two-minute drill.

Agreed, But why didn't they try at least one throw into the end zone?

[TopekaRoy]

Good half overall but we should be hammering this Bears team, they are dreadful.
The Bears defense isn't as bad as you might think. They are ranked 8th overall and 5th against the pass.

But they are pretty banged up.

[Chiefster]

Agreed.



Yup. And it sucks.

That it does. The good news is that we get the ball first in the second half.

[Eydugstr]

What in hell is the FG team coming out for? 12 seconds left there is plenty of time to throw one more into the end zone and if it's incomplete you still have time to kick the FG.

My thoughts exactly. At least let them try, send a message to your offense that they're doing a good job.

[Chiefs4life24]

My thoughts exactly. At least let them try, send a message to your offense that they're doing a good job.

It was 4th down if they didn't get it they wouldn't gotten any points

[brdempsey69]

Agreed, But why didn't they try at least one throw into the end zone?

Not sure why, but I hope they start running the ball a bit more in the 2nd half and get JC rolling, because I really believe the O-Line is really getting weary of the pass-happy play calling that is always keeping them on their heels. There has already been 20+ pass plays called as opposed to only 8 rushing plays and that's not good balance.

[ctchiefsfan]

It was 4th down CT so if we didn't get it turnover on down

Thanks. My screw up for not keeping track of the downs.

[TopekaRoy]

The Chiefs threw 20 passes and only rushed 7 times, not counting an unintentional 8 yd scramble from Alex. They need more of a 50-50 balance or at least 40% rush-60% pass. keep the Bears defense guessing.

They are lucky to be ahead 17-3 at this point. that is only thanks to the Chiefs defense.

[ctchiefsfan]

Not sure why, but I hope they start running the ball a bit more in the 2nd half and get JC rolling, because I really believe the O-Line is really getting weary of the pass-happy play calling that is always keeping them on their heels.

JC should never get less than 20-25 carries in a game.

Got a feeling that's what's on the adjenda.

I'm not sure if people have noticed this but good things happen when that guy wearing number 25 gets the ball

There you have it. They really need to start establishing the run at least to some degree.

[TopekaRoy]

NO! Not Shea, too!

[TopekaRoy]

There you have it. They really need to start establishing the run at least to some degree.

Especially with a decent lead. Ball control, clock eating offense.

[brdempsey69]

NO! Not Shea, too!

Can't ignore the fact that Chiefs are winning, because a lot of it has to do with the rash of injuries the Bears have suffered. Bears have the biggest MASH unit in the NFL right now.

[matthewschiefs]

BACK TO BACK RUNS?


Ummm i fear something horrible happened to Reid at halftime

[matthewschiefs]

Now 3 runs in a row

RIP Andy Reid

[brdempsey69]

There you go. Pound the rock a bit.

[matthewschiefs]

What happened to the Chiefs game?

[matthewschiefs]

LMAO now even Alex is getting runing calls This is funny

[Chiefster]

Run game finally has come alive.

[Chiefs4life24]

Maybe Reid only likes to run with a lead??

[matthewschiefs]

See what running the ball can do for your passing game

[Chiefster]

They were ripe for play action.

[Chiefs4life24]

Charles down holding his right leg

[Chiefster]

Charles is down.

[matthewschiefs]

CRAP CRAP CRAP

THERE GOES ANY HOPE


I want to cry now

[Chiefs4life24]

Charles holding his knee

[brdempsey69]

They were ripe for play action.


They might also be ripe for a trap-type running play, as well.

Charles may be hurt, though. Put Knile Davis in here, as he has a knack for finding the end zone.

[Chiefster]

This does not look good.

[matthewschiefs]

Time to say some prayers and maybe sell your soul

[Chiefs4life24]

His right knee buckled when he made his cut

[Chiefs4life24]

Kelce turned to late

[Chiefster]

I am sensing another field goal.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Reminds me somewhat of when Derrick Rose hurt his knee a few years ago, hopefully it's nowhere near as serious.

[matthewschiefs]

UGH this day suddenly isnt so good

[Chiefs4life24]

Terez Paylor says he cannot put y weight on his knee and a blocked field goal, can sence momentum shift come on d

[brdempsey69]

SIGH!! Another red zone failure and a blocked FG.

[Chiefster]

Well, another squandered opportunity.

[matthewschiefs]

There's also next year

[Chiefster]

SIGH!! Another red zone failure and a blocked FG.

Unfortunately.

[Chiefs4life24]

Paylor confirms Charles is being taken to the locker room cannot put any weight on his knee

[brdempsey69]

There's also next year

Most certainly and what this season is going to amount to is where they are going to picking in the draft in 2016 -- and not much else.

[Chiefs4life24]

Yeah looks like Charles injury took everything out of the defence

[Chiefster]

Looked like they gave up on the pass rush.

[Chiefs4life24]

PI Sean Smith

[Chiefs4life24]

Charles out for remainder of the game

[Chiefster]

Now suddenly the defense forgot how to tackle.

[brdempsey69]

Word is that Knile Davis isn't 100% and that's why we aren't seeing him.

[Chiefs4life24]

Word is that Knile Davis isn't 100% and that's why we aren't seeing him.

Paylor says team confirms its a knee injury and is done for the game, west is the only running back we have then

[Chiefster]

Held them to a field goal.

[TopekaRoy]

Defense buckled but didn't break. Unless the Bears kick 7 FGs we should be okay.

[brdempsey69]

Paylor says team confirms its a knee injury and is done for the game, west is the only running back we have then

Davis can play if he has to, but I hope West can carry the load today and Davis can be ready to go full-tilt next week, because JC isn't going to be there, I suspect.

[Chiefster]

We need to find our way into the endzone.

[Chiefs4life24]

Davis can play if he has to, but I hope West can carry the load today and Davis can be ready to go full-tilt next week, because JC isn't going to be there, I suspect.

Yeah this injury looks bad, here's hoping he didn't blow out a knee or his career may be in trouble, cause that would be what 2-3 injuries to his legs

[Chiefster]

Defense buckled but didn't break. Unless the Bears kick 7 FGs we should be okay.
Yup.

[Chiefster]

Davis can play if he has to, but I hope West can carry the load today and Davis can be ready to go full-tilt next week, because JC isn't going to be there, I suspect.
I fear you are correct in your assessment.

[ctchiefsfan]

Charles hurt. Can things get any worse?

[Chiefster]

We are reverting to Marty ball...Holding.

[ctchiefsfan]

Penalty Chiefs. Guess things can get worse.

[TopekaRoy]

Another good punt, but I wish we weren't punting so much.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Not sure if Smith is overly nervy and hesitant or if this offensive line is just pathetic, probably a bit of both.

[Chiefster]

Defense needs to quit waiting for forte to come to them.

[ctchiefsfan]

Not liking the way this is looking.

[Chiefster]

Have we scored any points in the third quarter this year???

[matthewschiefs]

Not sure if Smith is overly nervy and hesitant or if this offensive line is just pathetic, probably a bit of both.

It's both

[ctchiefsfan]

What the hell else can go wrong? Reid will go 100% pass-happy if Charles is lost for the season.

[Chiefster]

Another good punt, but I wish we weren't punting so much.
Same here.

[Chiefster]

Nice defense right there.

[matthewschiefs]

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

[Chiefster]

We needed that!

[ctchiefsfan]

Very nice sack. They were all over him.

[Chiefs4life24]

WOW they are double teaming Maclin

[brdempsey69]

Seems like even when there is reasonably good pass-protection, the passing game is still anemic and ineffective.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Kelce won't thank Smith for that throw.

[ctchiefsfan]

WOW they are double teaming Maclin

Yup. With Charles down they know Maclin is the biggest weapon we have.

[slc chief]

Watching smith stare down one receiver and only one receiver is getting old quick

[Chiefster]

Obviously the offense has cashed out so the remainder of the day will be up to the defense.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Seems like even when there is reasonably good pass-protection, the passing game is still anemic and ineffective.

Seems to be a recurring theme since #11 arrived unfortunately.

[ctchiefsfan]

Obviously the offense has cashed out so the remainder of the day will be up to the defense.

Hope you are wrong. I doubt an 11 point lead will hold up. We MUST get more points.

[brdempsey69]

Seems to be a recurring theme since #11 arrived unfortunately.

And with an 0-5 record record against the Donkeys (soon to be 0-6) with Alex at the helm, it's becoming apparent that we need a challenger to #11, because we just aren't seeing enough of what we saw in the Indy playoff game.

[Chiefster]

Keep it up Hali.

[brdempsey69]

Good play by Berry on 3rd down. And good pressure by Ford on 4th down.

[Chiefster]

Yesssssss!!!!!

[Chiefs4life24]

Bad News Guys

The immediate fear is that #Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles tore his ACL, source says, based on initial tests. He'll have an MRI to learn more.

[Eydugstr]

Nice job Berry

[ctchiefsfan]

And with an 0-5 record record against the Donkeys (soon to be 0-6) with Alex at the helm, it's becoming apparent that we need a challenger to #11, because we just aren't seeing enough of what we saw in the Indy playoff game.

I have defended Alex all along, but my faith is starting to be shaken.

[TopekaRoy]

it's nice to see Berry making an impact again. I hope he gets better as the season progresses.

[brdempsey69]

Bad News Guys

The immediate fear is that #Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles tore his ACL, source says, based on initial tests. He'll have an MRI to learn more.

He's done for the year and forget any post-season aspirations.


I have defended Alex all along, but my faith is starting to be shaken.

I still have hopes for Murray. Maybe next year will be the year for him.

[Chiefster]

Hope you are wrong. I doubt an 11 point lead will hold up. We MUST get more points.
Absolutely!
