Me too. Excited to see what our new offense looks like.
I was just about to start the "official" game day thread but Matthew beat me to it! No problem.
I'm not expecting much out of the first preseason game on the road with a new coach, new offense, and a new QB. I am excited to see what Smith brings to the passing game and anxious to see if our o-line can protect him. The Saints offense isn't very good so if our first string can score and not turn the ball over, I'll be happy.
I do think the Chiefs can be pretty good this year and compete for a wild-card spot, but I won't panic if they aren't all on the same page this early in preseason. It may take a few more weeks for them to "gel" and they still have a month to get ready for opening day.
No one should The first preseason game tells you nothing it's more of a the team is back playing thing that gets the fans going more then anything else. If this team does come out and lay an egg in the first preseason game just remember how good they looked last season in the 1st preseason game. And how that season turned out. The time to be worried will be if they don't show any growth in the preseason or like last year take a step back during the preseason. But the 1st game shouldn't worry anyone it's just a shake the game rust off thing. But it will be fun to see the Chiefs playing again
Yes I can't freaking wait for this season never been so excited for a season to begin before
Andy Reid > Romeo Crennel
Alex Smith > Matt Cassel/Quinn/Stanzi/Palko
This team improved in the most important areas in my opinion. I do worry about the defense. Romeo definitely turned this defense around when he showed up. I hope they don't revert to the pre-Romeo defense.
please, no significant injuries in meaningless games
Don't care that it's only pre-season, GO CHIEFS!!!!
In my previous post, I meant to say that the Saints defense isn't that good. Obviously their starting offense is pretty decent. They will be a good test for our secondary.
As long as nobody gets hurt I'll be happy.
I am just glad it is Football season...Whew feels good
Ummm we will probably lose. And for any of you who doesn't think winning matters in the preseason pull your head out of the Sun don't shine
We have lost the last seven preseason games hmm funny how last couple seasons suck too
Alex Smith playing a full quarter will be a nice change and well needed, not a lot of time left to get this thing going. Simple execution is all I want to see, its been a couple years since we've had that.
It doesn't the year the Pats went 16-0 they were 0-4 in the preseason The year the lions went 0-16 they went 4-0 in the preseason. Last year the Eagles went 4-0 in the preseason and then had the worse record in the time that Andy Reid was there. The biggest thing to see in the preseason is seeing the team taking steps forward and not backwards
anybody who says pre season games do not matter is high. especially if they are a chief fan. do they not remember russel wilsons coming out party against us last year. do the wins losses mean much no. but you can get a very good feel on how the team is going to gel. and how much depth and talent is actually on the roster. we will learn some important stuff tonight and even more in games 2 &3
Preseason is important, will be watching Smith and Fisher closely tonight.
Preseason is important in a lot ways. It's where spots are won and loss on the team. From a win loss standpoint it's not important at all for just that reason. Coaches don't make choices that are going all out to win the game. They sometimes decided to do something they wouldn't in a real game to give a guy a look and see what he can do they are trying to give every one a chance to make the team. They also don't gameplan for the team they will be faceing they plan to do things that they want to see guys do. So preseason is Very important to a team. But wins and losses are no so much
The offense should look good tonight since we play the Saints, but we have Smith so who knows.
I'm so ticked off. I came to a bar to watch the Chiefs on TV because they have wi-fi and I can watch the Bears at the same time on my laptop. Now they didn't pay their bill, so no wi-fi and no tv. I'm tethered to my 3g cell phone right now but it's way to slow to stream both games at once on my laptop. :(
But the Bears starters aren't expected to play much (some not at all) so I will join the Chiefs game in progress. Keep me updated here on how they look.
Anyone know of a site i can watch the game on??
Here we go!

This is actualy the chiefs
Touchdown kansas city
Gotta tell ya we looked mighty good there!
Dick and dunk right to the 1 yd line punch in
Looking good so far
Nice run back
10 to nothing Dexter McCluster had 55 yard punt return did not get a first down. Got FG
First string is out and that is fine with me, I saw what I needed to see.
What worries me is they took Smith out should have them in for at least half the game
