Mayock, Field Yates, and now Schefter. I know it's been posted everywhere in the comments, yet this close to the draft the Mark Barron talk is really heating up. If we do land him at #11, adding Barron to this secondary after losing Carr would be a major score on Pioli's part.

Phil Emery's Start In Chicago

Just wanted to comment I like the work Emery's done this off-season in free agency. Though certainly troubled, Brandon Marshall is still quite talented and re-uniting him with Cutler was a great decision. Another was pairing Michael Bush with Matt Forte. I even liked the pickup of Devin Thomas, I still see a lot upside there. I'll be keeping my eyes on what the Bears do in the draft. I think Emery is going make a great GM and appears Chicago stole one from us

Buffalo Rumblings An Appetizer Before Your Entree



Hello Bills fans,

Keep this quiet because I shouldn't be over here and if word gets out I secretly have a crush on your Bills that won't bode well for me and mine. At any rate, I wanted to share with some of you a taste what Chan has cooking up. I personally have loved this off-season's signings between Thigpen (we called him 'Bones' back at Arrowhead Pride) and Brad Smith. (And to prove my Bills partilaity I even liked the Buster Davis signing [Chad Jackson 2.0]). Here's a sampler of what I believe is to come:

http://www.blinkx.com/watch-video/wk-9-can-miss-play-wildcat-copycats/_V06vT__g9iwAVf3OFerSg

I searched specifically for this TD pass and it was the only place I found it available online, NFL has took it down. I believe this single play highlights the creativity and flexibility Chan is going to have with Brad Smith on the field. I understand 'Bones' will be the backup here (which candidly I think will be the best backup QB this franchise has had in years). It's important to note the QB in this clip was WR Mark Bradley who if I remember correctly only had experience playing QB in high school. Brad Smith is a far better, and far more talented QB prospect who played locally. I've seen what Smith can do at Missouri, I saw what he did for the Jets. I've seen Chan's work with Thigpen in KC and it's my perogative to inform you guys are in for a fun ride this season.

I look forward to our Week 1 matchup and fully anticipate Chan giving us a good ride for our money. Continue to keep the faith Bills fans!

I have developed a particular distaste for mock draft's over the past few years and it's for particular selections like this: Jonathan Baldwin. Yes, I realize KC is a WR needy team but there is no way on Jah's green Earth that Scott Pioli drafts Baldwin. The kid has character issue's and a rap sheet a mile long. It ain't gonna happen, Galliford!

FanShot Poll: Is Dwayne Bowe a #1 caliber WR in the NFL?

Yay or Nay?

May seem like a silly poll after his soon come record-breaking season, but I'm interested in the AP general consensus now as opposed to Week 5 after the Colts game.

Hardly Chiefs related, but there are few things I love listening to more than tongue-lashings & on air meltdowns. In this jewel we're treated to both. Radio host Chad Dukes & former player LaVar Arrington lament after Washington's embarassing loss at home to Philly. God how I would have loved it if some KC sports personality did in Peterson's last years.

Arrowhead Pride What to do with DJ?

via cdn1.sbnation.com

Admittedly, I didn't watch yesterday's game but was pleasantly surprised upon reading the box score and the INT column tallying 2 for the Chiefs. I think the only thing sweeter than a DJ pick 6 is possibly Uric Berry's first career interception. It couldn't have came off a better QB either than the Bo-man, St. Cloud State's finest

Roster move made to make room for a returning Santonio Holmes who served a 4 game suspension.

over 1 year ago Dbowe_tiny KansasCityShuffle 3 comments

Mike Mayock repeatedly ranked Earl Thomas ahead of "Uric Berry" as the top safety coming out of the 2010 draft. Thru 4 weeks of play Earl Thomas has 3 INT's to Berry's 0. Thomas also leads in tackles recording 21 to Berry's 17 in 3 weeks of play. If this trends continue the early returns appear Mayock was right.

Arrowhead Pride October 31st, Day of Reckoning


7 weeks into this season of football we will be playing the Buffalo Bills, which if memory serves me correctly this will be the 3rd consecutive year we've faced off against the inferior form of Canadian Bison. The last two years we've met the same fate losing to them each time and judging by last night's preseason game we have no reason to expect different results this year. 

Now I know it's foolish to overreact to scrimmages against two teams practiced by 2nd & 3rd stringers, but this Buffalo game is an important date to look forward to because essentially it will be midway point of the season. It will be a time we should then know the identity of our ballclub and against a familiar opponent that for all intents & purposes is no better or greater a team than we are.  If you've paid attention to the league over the course of the last 4 years I think it's safe to state their roster is just as depleted of talent as ours (if not more), they've drafted for the most part poorly during this time, and their Head Coach was unearthed from our scrap heap on Arrowhead Drive.

It was rumored at one time Gailey was in consideration for HC promotion when Pioli was initially hired here, but wanting to reflect a change in culture to the fanbase he went with the outside hire. It's my determination that if Haley cannot pull out the win from the guy he had fired, with a team Scott and he have been building for over two years, then my perspective will be Scott Pioli fucked up.

I really think it boils down to being as simple as this one ballgame. Last year Todd lost to an interim rookie HC (promoted DC Perry Fewell) and this year he will go against his former OC. Judging by last night's dismantling of the Buff's by Shannahan, Todd shouldn't have too much to worry about. However, whatever team pulls out the victory on this fateful day will be lead by the Coach that is the better man. If we just so happen to be on the losing side, it's going to be a Day of Reckoning of sorts for this new administration in that we will have had enough sample size to assess their body of work. Primarily we'll able to gauge if Pioli's two biggest moves as acting GM (hiring Haley & trading 2nd rounder to Patriots) were either successes or failure's. Some of you may believe it'll still be too premature to determine, but after 23 games of "Chiefs Will" we should have a pretty solid idea as to what sinks or swims. 

Mark your calendar's Chiefs fans.

Arrowhead Pride Pooping & Tailgating?


A group of three of my buddies and I decided to take the step up this year and become regular season ticket holders. Obviously we love tailgating before the games but we happen into run into the same problem before every game. After several wienerschnitzel's & BBQ beef sandwhiches we have turtle heads popping out. The lines are always too long at the porta-potties and I hating missing out on tailgating. Anyone have a solution to this conundrum? Any secrets you could divulge? Anything at all - maybe even a sneaky place to park? Thanks in advance.

Although Page was not available Monday, there something obvious in his absence – he or the Chiefs want him to be somewhere else for the 2010 season

Pat Kirwan just put up this article at NFL.com (peep the link). Check the second table in the middle of the article. I've seen a lot of numbers trying to put Glenn's rookie season into perspective but none as impressive (in my opinion) as that. That's the type of player you build defenses AROUND. Thinking how those numbers could have multiplied if we kept him in the same position, it's almost a damn shame we didn't keep the 4-3. A shame to Glenn's career and a shame as a Chiefs fan to miss out on such greatness.

After posting yesterday's Worst Mock Draft I've seen this season, here is the best I've read so far. While I hate the thought of us personally taking Bulaga out of this class, and the idea of Berry becoming a Raider, (by no means is this a freakin' endorsement to draft Berry either), I think overall Davis is pretty accurate. Guy used to annoy the hell out of me but I think he's more grounded than a lot of the other NFL Network's analysts

He also carries two big strikes in the minds of some NFL people, though no one would ever admit it publicly: He is smarter than most of the coaches and he has other serious interests outside of football. That may seem laughable, but neither one of those is a particularly valued quality in the NFL.

Arrowhead Pride Freaks & Fools

It's not often I make a FanShot so gather round losers. All these fans up in arms about our activeness or lack thereof in Free Agency is absolutely ludicrous. Chill the eff out, folks. I'm even surprised to hear our name attached to players like Boldin, TJ, Walter, etc. I fully expected Pioli to build the middle and bottom parts of our roster in FA and address our needs thru the draft. Folks moaning and complaining about how cheap Hunt & Pioli are simply off base. If Hunt was a cheap ass he would have pulled a Ralph Wilson on Herm(and his staff)and let them finish out their contracts. Instead he went after the biggest FA of all in Pioli and landed the sumabitch! To top it off we started this off-season bringing in Weiss & Crennel. Clark has no problem spending money, people, he'd rather just do it where it's necessary and not make it rain like his last name is Snyder. We're far from being a Super Bowl contending team and just because we now have a high profile coaching staff in place everyone's acting like we're just a few pieces away.

Reality check!

It's a big league out there. Just because we're not the first one's showing up to the dance doesn't mean we have to go home empty-handed. Prom Queen's are nice trophies but come next class reunion we're all thinking differently about who we wish we would have taken home that night.

Slow your rolls until after April 24th. If our draft plays out anything like last years, then we all have something we can bitch about it.
