Anyone catch the Chiefs/Raiders game? If not, I've got great news! The team we just beat 41-14, is in fact, not the worst team in our division!

If Kansas City loses to Atlanta next week, we may start hearing 0-16 whispers.

They really are one of the worst football teams I've had the displeasure of seeing with my own eyes.

I say we pool some money together to get Herm and Carl resigned to a mega-extension.

Also, who do you think is more fragile, Huard or Croyle? If a defensive lineman farts on Huard in the pocket, he falls down, and ends up sulking on the sidelines with a "concussion". On the other hand, Croyle would probably last three weeks in a pee wee league before an eight year old would end up breaking his leg. What say you?

Kaylore · 09-14-2008, 07:59 PM

They were terrible. I don't know how anyone can say they're going to do anything more than four wins.

AND WHERE ARE YOU, SOCAL?!? Every year you tell me how scared of the Chiefs you are and every year I laugh as they get worse and suck more and more!

I love the 6 QB strategy. Its like they substitute QB's like they substitute WR's.

TheDave · 09-14-2008, 08:01 PM

The race for the #1 pick is between, TheFaid, Chefs, and Lambs.

Nice thing is we are almost gauranteed to go at least 5-1 in the division.

Easily.

My brother is a hardcore fan and he's ready for 0-16. They got smashed by the Cardinals today.

The Chiefs had some guy in named Hagans for a while. It's truly a mess, there. However, the funniest thing is that JaMarcus played like crapola and the Raiders STILL handled the Chiefs...

Dude, 4 wins seems like a stretch right now. Hell the Dolphins of last year could kick this teams ass and they only won 1 game last year.

They should have done that a decade ago.

But doing anything based on today's result would be stupid. No one should be shocked that they're probably going to be picking in the top five next year and maybe even number one.

KC needs to stick with keeping things stable and finish the rebuilding thing.

Fittingly, they play each other in week 16. How unreal would it be if they were both winless for that one?

Whitlock: Someone should pay for Chiefs’ sorry showing

By JASON WHITLOCK
The Kansas City Star

Pregame reports suggested Oakland coach Lane Kiffin would be fired for losing to the Chiefs.

After Sunday’s debacle, a similar win-or-else mandate might await the remaining coaches on Kansas City’s schedule. Which begs an obvious question:

If losing to the Chiefs is a fireable offense, what should the penalty be for assembling the worst team in football?

The worst-team-in-football distinction is no longer debatable. Not after the three-hour comedy routine the Chiefs performed Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. The NFL should consider moving the rest of the Chiefs’ games to the evening and calling their contests “Sunday Night Live.”

The whole country needs to be treated to practice-squad receiver Marques Hagans running the option. Yeah, the Chiefs ran the option on Sunday with Hagans at quarterback and Jamaal Charles as the pitch man. I swear on Barry Switzer’s beloved wishbone!

Of course it didn’t work. Nothing the Chiefs tried worked. Not Hagans. Not Tyler Thigpen. Not Damon Huard.

Demolished 23-8 by an Oakland squad in chaos, it’s clear now the Chiefs have returned to their 1970s gory era. Which begs another obvious question:

What is Clark Hunt going to do about it?

What we witnessed and experienced Sunday calls for immediate action. From start to finish, game day was a miserable ordeal. Getting to a parking space was a major hassle. Getting inside the stadium was an obstacle-course adventure. The timing of Arrowhead’s rebuilding couldn’t be worse.

Once inside and seated, the day turned even uglier. The Raiders, with a coaching staff in conflict and a quarterback incapable of operating a passing game, outclassed the Chiefs from kickoff until the final whistle.

Despite the final score, this was Missouri vs. Nevada. Don’t be fooled by the fact that Kansas City was within one score late in the fourth quarter. The scoreboard never told the story of this game. The stat sheet did.

With no threat of a passing attack, the Raiders rushed for 300 yards, and most of the ground damage was done by Oakland’s second- and third-team backs, Darren McFadden (164) and Michael Bush (90).

The Chiefs were outmanned and out-toughed. Herm Edwards, Chan Gailey and Gunther Cunningham, who pride themselves on their ability to coach tough football teams, will be on “Vince Young” watch this week.

Toss out Damon Huard’s 15-yard scramble, and the Chiefs answered Oakland’s running game with 40 yards in 18 carries. Huard, filling in for Brodie Croyle, left the game in the first quarter after suffering slight head trauma.

The Raiders beat the Chiefs with Kansas City’s game plan.

Yeah, the Chiefs wanted to run the ball, stop the run, play field-position football and wait on JaMarcus Russell to hand them the game.

“We didn’t get any of those things accomplished,” Edwards acknowledged. “They came out and knocked us off the ball and ran the ball down our throat. We got embarrassed at home in our home opener.

“We’re a much better team than that.”

I’m not so sure. The Raiders are the worst team on Kansas City’s home schedule. The Falcons and the Bengals are terrible, but they get the Chiefs at home. It’ll be a miracle if the Chiefs win four games. Losing 16 is a possibility.

Kansas City doesn’t have a quarterback, a reliable offensive line or a defensive unit capable of slowing a telegraphed running game.

JaMarcus Russell never batted an eye at a second receiver on Sunday. He probably couldn’t identify an Oakland secondary receiver in a police lineup. The few times Kiffin asked Russell to throw the ball, Russell instantly locked on to his primary receiver and then threw wildly. He completed six of his 17 attempts for 55 yards.

Defensive coordinators dream of facing a one-dimensional offense. The Chiefs had the freedom to man up on the perimeter and send nine men to stop the run. It’s inexcusable and a sign of poor front-seven personnel that McFadden, Bush and starter Justin Fargas averaged 7.8, 5.6, and 4.8 yards per carry, respectively.

Why would a sane person pay $22 to park, $75 a ticket and fight the construction traffic to watch Carl Peterson and his flunkies build a football bridge to nowhere? You can put lipstick on a pig, and it’s still a five-year Super Bowl plan that’s 20 years past due.

There’s no reason to wait. Clark Hunt should announce this week that this is Peterson’s final season. There are no lifetime contracts in professional sports, and Peterson sure as hell hasn’t earned one.

More than loyalty to Herm Edwards, the Hunts owe loyalty to the fans who have filled Arrowhead Stadium for two decades. If a new general manager/president is uninterested in working with Edwards, that is Herm’s problem. Not ours. We deserve a fresh start.

Worst showing I have ever seen.

I would say by the far the worst.

It was nuts.
