I have been a faithful Chiefs fan since 1990, I was ten years old when I went to that game. I will never stray from the Chiefs 2-14 or not.
I will say I hated Herm, I loved Joe Montana, Priest Holmes, TG, DT, Neil Smith. Too many other Chiefs to mention.
The Chiefs will make the playoffs this year, and win it all in 2010. Mark my words.
Well apparently I was wrong, but it is Feb 1 2011. The Kansas City Chiefs have a crazy hard schedule next year, and as long as there is football(CBA) the Chiefs will win the Super Bowl.

Rookie Minicamp Notebook: Closing Thoughts
Highlights:
DeQuan Menzie: Fifth-round draft pick DeQuan Menzie sat out of Sunday’s final practice to rest a sore hamstring.
"I had kind of a strain on my hamstring, but I’m good now," Menzie said. "It’s something that I’ve been playing with for awhile."
Comments from RAC
Devon Wylie: "Wylie showed he has some quickness and has ability to make some plays. I think that’s the case."
Donald Stephenson: "I think he’s a good athlete. I think he’s going to do well for us."
Dontari Poe: "I know everybody wants to know about Poe a little bit. I thought he made some progress from day one until today. He still has work to do."
How many of these Chiefs Rookies make the 53? The PS?

The Eighth Round ~ Best UDFA's
Kansas City Chiefs: Dexter Heyman, ILB, Louisville -- If veterans Brandon Siler and Jovan Belcher don't watch out, the second-team All-Big East pick will find a way on the field to take on blocks and play the run next to Derrick Johnson. ~ CR
Interesting choice. Who is your favorite UDFA?

2012 NFL Mock Draft: Philadelphia Eagles Select...

in 2012 NFL Mock Draft
on Arrowhead Pride
Representing the Philadelphia Eagles, chief-blinders-on with the 51st pick in Arrowhead Pride's 2012 NFL mock draft...
15th Pick ~ Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi
46th Pick ~ Zach Brown, LB, North Carolina
After making the two above selections for the Philadelphia Eagles... Their defense should improve immensely. Though, was it enough improvement on the defensive side of the ball to go offense with this pick?
Reportedly, the Eagles are shopping CB Asante Samuel, so there could be a sudden need for a quality cornerback high in the draft with starting potential for the team. Philadelphia has occasionally traded players around draft time (John Welbourn anyone...) and this could potentially be a huge need for the team.
However, on the offensive side of the ball, this team is not completely without needs. Their starting left tackle Jason Peters went down with a ruptured right Achilles tendon and will likely miss a lot of time in 2012, if not the entire season. Despite Eagles fans encouraging me at Bleeding Green Nation that their team is comfortable with OT, King Dunlap in the short term and that they are not overly impressed with any of the options at OT in the draft... I'm still pondering the possibility of taking offensive tackles such as: Bobby Massie, Ole Miss, Zebrie Sanders, Florida State, Nate Potter, Boise State, Jeff Allen, Illinois, Brandon Mosley, Auburn or Mitchell Schwartz, California (no particular order.)
Everyone of those tackles has a chance to be a decent player in the NFL, but will any of them help the Eagles in their current situation? After all, the Eagles fans have a point, Jason Peters will be back as the starter eventually, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to try and find his long term replacement in the draft. It seems much more likely that they will use free agency to fix their holes in the offensive line to keep Michael Vick upright.
If you are using the BPA approach, there are still guys like Andre Branch, Dwayne Allen, Juron Criner and David Wilson just sitting there on their mock draft couches, staring at the TV with blank eyes as their pay checks keep getting smaller and smaller. What to do?

on Arrowhead Pride
Representing the Philadelphia Eagles, Chief-Blinders-On with the 46th pick in Arrowhead Pride's 2012 NFL mock draft...
The Philadelphia Eagles already received a huge addition up front with the selection of former Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox with the 15th overall pick. At pick 46, the team has a lot of good choices left on the board with how this draft has fallen.
First round quality names like Clemson's Andre Branch are still on the board and I'm sure Eagles fans would absolutely love to have him. However, there was one name on the board that just stood out to me as a perfect pick for the Eagles and their current team needs. Sure, they could use an running back like David Wilson or another weapon at wide receiver such as Juron Criner... but, when you find a player that is an excellent fit at a position of need, you take it.
So for the Philadelphia Eagles, that is exactly what I did...

Hello from Arrowhead Pride again.

on Arrowhead Pride
As a last minute replacement GM (H/T AP user NOLACHIEF), I was put to the task of coming up with something very quickly for Arrowhead Pride's Mock Draft extravaganza. It was obvious to me that I needed some help in order to get this pick right for the Philadelphia Eagles.
So I scoured SB Nation for someplace, any place where they may know a little something about the Philadelphia Eagles... My first thought brought me to Cageside Seats, but they were all too busy talking about a little event known as Wrestlemania to even notice that I had arrived. No, that obviously wasn't going to cut it. I had to think NFL, and the only NFL blog on SB Nation that I'd ever even heard of was Arrowhead Pride... In fact, I had barely noticed there was even any other websites on the internet in all my hours debating with AP Talk Radio host Upamtn about whether or not Vontaze Burfict can actually play football in the NFL.
After doing a little research, I discovered that SB Nation has upwards of 323 sports blogs. Including one for every single NFL team. This was an amazing revelation, and I strongly urge each one of you to check out every single one of them. That includes the amazing football blog: Bleeding Green Nation.
How much did they help me? Find out... after the jump of course.

Greetings from Arrowhead Pride. In our on going community mock draft, I was lucky enough to be selected to represent the Philadelphia Eagles. That said... I wanted to get some thoughts from some true Eagles fans on who to select and I would love to use some of your quotes in the upcoming post. Click on the comments for more details. Thank you.

First and foremost, I want to welcome everyone to what will be the number one source for Kansas City Chiefs info and commentary. If you scour the web, you'll find very few sources of original commentary specifically on the Chiefs. Hopefully, this site will change that. ~ Chris Thorman
Talk about a prophecy. Hey Chris, you want to start choosing my lottery numbers?
That above passage, was the first paragraph of the introductory article written for Arrowhead Pride on July 26, 2006. It was a 248 word post (take notes MNchiefsfan) titled simply, "Welcome To Arrowhead Pride!"
Much like that above photo is welcoming absolutely no one to Arrowhead Stadium. Chris Thorman was kind of welcoming no one to Arrowhead Pride...
The days of users like: HIV 2 Elway, Craig in Calgary, Direckshun, DThomasReigns, Red N Gold Beast, Lanier 63, Average Gastby, KC Satchmo, Upamtn, Aiken_Drumm, Steve_Chiefs, Kalo Phoenix, Bewsaf, KC Porkchop, 808NaNz808, UCrawford, Krayfish and NJ Chiefs Fan (yes AP without Arrowheadlines... gasp...) weren't even around yet.
Even Joel Thorman and his 22,102 posts didn't grace the front page until around November of 2007, but we will discuss Primetime more in an upcoming Arrowhead Pride Vault post.
Today is all about really early Arrowhead Pride, so if you want to read more about what started it all... Then please, follow me.

AFC West, Todd McShay Mock Draft Breakdown
Bill Williamson gives his thoughts on McShay's two round mock draft.
Todd's Selections for the Kansas City Chiefs...
11th Overall - Luke Kuechly, ILB, Boston College
44th Overall - Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin
That would be an outstanding April day.
Congratz from Arrowhead Pride...
Bold move Denver Broncos... bringing in Peyton Manning. Here is to a healthy season and a rise back to competitive football for the entire AFC West. May the best team win.
Adam Caplan
For those who have asked, after all of the signings, Bowe franchise tag, source said the Chiefs still have around $15 M of cap space.
@caplannfl
Will we see some more signings soon?
2012 Kansas City Chiefs Free Agency
- Stanford Routt
- Peyton Hillis
- Kevin Boss
- Eric Winston (pure win)
- Brady Quinn
Signed RB Brian Daboll to a one-year contract.
Gotta love ESPN... come on, four letter network.
Wayne Frazier passes away.
@JoshLooney
#Chiefs Super Bowl I alum Wayne Frazier passes away (1st player introduced at SB1)
RIP to a important part of Chiefs history.
Brandon Jacobs to be released...
Pro Football Weekly @MikeGarafolo: BREAKING: #Giants will release RB Brandon Jacobs today, per a source. Sides couldn't come to a financial agreement.
Demeco Ryans?
It seems that Demeco is coming off a brutal achilles injury from Oct 2010 and is owed a lot of money moving forward after struggling to return to full strength in 2011... Apparently he is owed 7.2 million this coming season. Here_ Does Battle Red Blog see Ryans as a cap causality soon or a integral part of the Texans defense moving forward? Kansas City is interested in the answer. Thank you for your time.
Coaches Corner with new KC Chiefs OC Brian Daboll
Do you want to spend five minutes getting to know the new Chiefs offensive coordinator?
Here is your chance from the mothership with Josh Looney.
Un-Bowe-lievable
The Kansas City Chiefs plan to use the franchise tag on wide receiver Dwayne Bowe if the two sides cannot reach a new deal, according to a league source.
197 Years old?
I thought this number was interesting. In learning that today (yesterday Feb 1) was Al Saunders birthday, I noticed that he just turned 65 years old... Happy Birthday belated Birthday Al Saunders! Anyway, I got to thinking (scary)... If the Chiefs do hire Al Saunders as the new OC and give Emmitt Thomas the placeholder title of DC while Romeo calls the defensive plays as the Head Coach/DC. That would potentially give the Chiefs one of the oldest coaching trio's ever assembled. In fact, by the time the season started it would actually hit 199... What do you think about that Kansas City fans? (No jokes about that still be younger than Bill Muir.)
Kansas City defensive backs coach Emmitt Thomas – Dennis Allen’s mentor – could be a possibility for defensive coordinator.
This is one thing that we haven't really discussed too much. What happens if the Kansas City Chiefs lose some successful pieces of the staff to other teams?
Would Emmitt Thomas go work for his former protege?
Are there any other current Chiefs coaches that would be of interest to any of these freshly hired NFL coaches?
