First Chiefs Game!

KCchi — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 05:00:55 -0000

Hi AP,

So this week my dad and I are flying down from Canada so we can see our first ever Chiefs game live! We get in on Saturday afternoon and I was wondering if there was anything in town worth going on that weekend (sat/sun night and monday day) that any resident Kansas Cityers would know about. Keep in mind though Im not of legal drinking age in the States which limits a lot of possibilities but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Our hotel is close to the stadium as well. Thanks guys, hard loss today but I'm feeling next game will be good.

Pro-Line

KCchi — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:48:29 -0000

Today was the first day I had bought a pro line ticket and I'm pretty pumped for the results. I used to bet against my dad to see who could guess the most winners in a given week and we usually got around 13-3 type records per week. Obviously I had to get the chiefs in there not only for the pride but for the odds. Here is my ticket:

KC and SD tie(+/-3pts) at 3.60

GB win at 1.45

NWO win at 1.55

ATL win at 3.20

HOU win at 1.80

I bet 2$ and if this works out ill win 93.20$

Want to know what you guys think about the picks and if you have any sports betting memories to share.

Madden Cover

KCchi — Fri, 01 May 2009 07:48:04 -0000

What do you guys think of the new Madden cover? If you haven't already checked it out it features for the first time ever two cover athletes Polamalu and Fitzgerald. I for one was upset that they strayed from the classic one cover guy. Im pretty pumped for it to eventually come out so i can play with the new Pioli chiefs and its not like this cover will affect my love of this game but it just doesnt feel the same. Do you also think the madden curse will continue now??

Crowded front seven?

KCchi — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 07:03:15 -0000

So obviously everyone here knows about Tyson Jackson and Im praying pioli has seen enough good things in him to take him at three but thats not what Im here to dicuss.

If we list off all of the chiefs potential projected starters for the front seven we'd come up with something like this:

Tank Tyler (essentially was openly guarunteed that nose tackle spot)
Tyson Jackson
Tamba Hali
Glenn Dorsey
Derrick Johnson
Mike Vrabel
Zach Thomas

And if you want, you can include names like:

Turk McBride
Alfonso Boone
Monty Beisel

Now if you were trying to fit these guys into a starting lineup, there would be some difficulty (assuming that we dont trade any of these guys). Obviously we want Jackson to be starting immediately and we cant have the 5th overall pick (dorsey) from last year on the bench. so if we include Tank we have a front 3. But we cant forget about Tamba Hali. There were rumors about him moving to that standup OLB spot but i seriously doubt if he could flourish there. So if we were to include all those names above into the equation, we have a solid group to derive some starters from on the line.

Going into the third round in the draft tomorrow there are still some good talent at I believe would be the 4-3 DE spot in Micheal Johnson and Gilbert (but I have heard that some people think he has good scheme versatility). They both have arguably round one talent so one of these guys may go to the Lions or Rams. So Don Pioli now has some decision making to do. I want to hear your take on some of the moves he needs to make in the next month or so. And if I have completely got one of my facts wrong then feel free to let me know so that im up to date on everything chiefs. Cheers from the Canadian Prairies.

Get Pumped

We can spend months reading different peoples opinions and argue about why they're crap or why they're valid but fact of the matter is the draft is SATURDAY, three days from now! Ive been counting down since three months ago. I don't know about you guys but its pretty exciting. I pretty sure they are gonna make a couple trades to fill out our lack of early picks and I know that our depth chart is gonna look pretty different. Here's hoping for an NFL draft that has all the drama we're hoping for.

Chiefs vs. Broncos

KCchi — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 06:16:58 -0000

Here's a little prediction of the game for all you faithful chiefs:

1st quarter: Opening drive for the chiefs Huard throws 6 for 6 and 10 yards, while johnson gets 5 carries for 5 yards and claims he needs more carries to get on a roll. (15 yards cant make 11 plays you say? Not for the CHIEFS!) We punt is away and coffin corner them at their two yard line. Donkeys line up but there are too many running backs, they all claim to be equally good. This causes confusion and a few delay of game penalties. Shanahan takes out all the backs and receivers except marshall but cutler still throws a 98 yard touchdown on the first play. The cheifs get it back and somehow manage to make it down the field with the same running play in varying directions with 4 different runnning backs. We kick a field goal and its 7-3.

2nd quarter: Broncos get the ball back but cutlers diabetes kicks in and leaves the game have some sugar and take a piss. Patrick Ramsey comes in and the offense is confused once more. They stall and give it back to the chiefs. Since there was marginal success from last drive we decide to run the same play as before over and over again, finally at midfield, they catch on and stuff us. Colquitt boots it all the way into the stands and the refs feel bad for having this guy kick so much everygame they give him a point just to make him feel like hes an important part of the team. The rest of the half is pretty boring, consisting of short pass then run then short pass then run then failed deep pass then run. We manage to score an extra field goal and tie it up to end the half 7-7.

3rd quarter: Cutler is back in but as soon as hes steps onto the field he runs back off for more treatment. After a couple plays hes back on but his vision is a bit blurry and brandon flowers picks it off for six. Hes so unprepared for this touchdown and the ref mixes up his confusion with an inappropriate victory dance and fines and penalizes him on the spot. Broncos get the ball back and storm down the field for a touchdown to scheffler. When the chiefs get the ball back herm switches up the quarterbacks and puts in thigpen but the crowd boos him off, so he then puts in hagans which results in more boos so he invites anyone from the stands to come play. A 5'10 250 lbs security guard jumps onto the field and takes control. Amazingly he hands off the ball nicely and LJ gets another 10 carries to end the quarter 14-14.

4th quarter: Herm finally sees that he needs to put huard back in which results in a soft lob into the endzone to Bowe. It goes of the heads of three defenders and then onto Bowes sure hands. We're winning!! But as soon as we kickoff, another cutler drive results in a touchdown. Herm starts to get angry and throws in another pass play to our six play repatoire to mix it up a bit. It works and we make it down to the redzone but stall and a field goal puts us up by three. Twominute drill for the donkey offense and with a few plays manage to our red zone. That NEVER happens but they cant seem to put it in for the score. all ready to tie it up shanahan actually ices his own kicker by accident. As the elam kicks for the tie, carl peterson flies out of nowhere to sacrifice his body for the win. It seems that he catapulted himself in front of the kick from the press box and blocks the kick! Mike Carey is not that easily confounded so he ejects peterson from the game but says that the clock has run out and the chiefs have won!!! 24-21

Upcoming week

KCchi — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 04:29:18 -0000

Is it too early to say there is no chance for the chiefs to 1-2 by beating the impressive Broncos even tho its in Arrowhead. Even with the ever boring Huard in and he gets us a td or two, our secondary is gonna get lit up by Cutler and company including an impressive Marshall. If there is any possible way to pull out a win this week I would certainly like to hear it.....
