If he was smart he'd float a rumor that the starting QB is Palko. :D
Unless of course the starting QB is Palko and what he said about Cassell is in fact a smoke screen.Quote:

We have the skill players to take the pressure off the QB and O line.
HA! Good point. Although I don't really see that particular smoke screen playing out in our favor too much. :lol:Quote:

I don't know about wouldn't win a single game. If we're in the tail end of the season maybe. But playing against Denver...really? Palko isn't the best QB but c'mon, surely we could put up a W against Denver with him behind the helm!Quote:

Chiefs First Injury Report Is Coming Today - Arrowhead Pride
Quote:
The Chiefs will go through practice this afternoon until about 3:30 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) and then the report will be out. Friday is the day we're really waiting for as the Chiefs will announce injured players as probable, questionable, doubtful or out.
I think you're right, I didn't think about that aspect, hahaha. I was thinking from a strategic planning point of view only, hahaha. ;)Quote:

I believe the starters only need to be named shortly before kickoff, to have the officials armed with accurate information.
But I can not verify that.
I just know that, as a fantasy owner, moments before gametime is when you get the real information on a starter's injury listing.
