First I'll be the first to apologize to the Kansas City Chiefs football team. I was one of many that wrote them off when they were 1-5. They have gotten back in the run for it and proved that was way premature. They are still alive for the AFC west. Denver has the pats and Cincy left to play that's very well 2 losses. That leaves them 1 more loss for the Chiefs to catch up assuming the Chiefs keep winning. There's a lot of football left. The Chiefs can still win the west.
A big tip of the cap to the Chiefs FO. FINALLY after years of me BEGGING they have finally improved the talent on the offensive side of the ball. This has been something I have been VERY vocal off for the past few years. Albert Wilson has gotten better and better. He made a hell of a catch today. And has made some good catches. Conley is still a work in progress but that's to be expected for a rookie. The O line is WAY better then they were week 1. And it's a young O line. Given more time with anther peace or two they could become a DOMINANTE line.
^^^^speaking of this I've taken some heat over the years for defending the QBs this team has had. While watching Rivers today there was a VERY SMALL part of me that felt for him like I have for our QBs over the years. His line was garbage today his guys droped a few passes all that helped the Chiefs get the lopsided result that they got today. I felt for him a bit then I remembered he's Philip Rivers :)
There's been some talk about the Chiefs having an easy road the rest of the way. Today it just got a tad easier. Joe Flacco is out for the year with a tore ACL. That means the Chiefs will be facing an already banged up Ravens team with Matt Schaub at the QB spot. They had already taken a hit with there number 1 WR out for the rest of the year. Now they are without there number 1 QB. They have had a tough year. The Chiefs might get them at the right time.
While watching todays game seeing Ware running through the Bolts defense it became clear to me that we don't give the RB coach enough credit. I mean Ware is what the 3rd or 4th string guy and he came in and ran like a top guy. Now sure some of that was the Chargers. But for a number 3 or 4 guy doing it against anyone you have to give mad props to the RB coach. He's clearly doing a great job.
The Chiefs have a tough game next week against a Bills team that over the years has given the Chiefs trouble. The Bills will be coming off a short week as they play the Pats on MNF. And regardless of the outcome will be a team that the Chiefs are fighting for a wildcard spot with. That makes next week game a MUST WIN. We are at home. LETS GET IT DONE
GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
