Moeaki to IR Could Help KC's Offense
How could our offense possibly get better?! "Ryan in Nixa is an uninformed moron!" you're saying, "Ryan is already drunk" you scoff. Well hear (read?) me out. Tony Moeaki was a good rookie tight end last year in the mold of Dallas Clark, Jimmy Graham and Jason Witten (I refuse to put him in Tony Gonzalez territory yet). But one thing he is not and that's a great blocker; he's not bad, but he isn't Jason Dunn , nor did we need him to be. Well where have the Chiefs struggled the most at the end of last year and in this pre-season? I'll answer the rhetorical question after the jump.

Haley and the Chiefs are Sand-baggin'
The Chiefs have looked historically bad this pre-season. If you didn't know this team won the AFC West last year you would swear you were watching their minor league team.
I read a lot of posts on here, maybe too many, and I can tell you there is a real sense of "I hope we can turn it on for Buffalo" angst going on. Everyone take a deep breath and relax. I'll give you a few reasons why after the jump.

Cassel 27/7 TD/INT Ratio -Pro or One Year Wonder?
Thanks to tonight's open game thread and some arguments I decided to dig around and see just what this touted 27/7 TD/INT Ratio means historically. I believe Matt_Grbac asked me "to show him a QB with a similar ratio that led his team to the playoffs". So Matt_Grbac this is for you... Matt Cassel's 2010 TD/INT Ratio is 14th all-time...More after the Jump...

Matt Cassell Vs Eli Manning Vs Aaron Rodgers With Stats
I won't apologize for yet another Matt Cassel post because I'm trying to bring facts into the picture when looking at our "franchise" quarterback. I am not a Cassel hater, but I will admit to being very underwhelmed with his body language and overall performance on the field. Body language, pocket presence and all the coach speak in the world won't back up my case that Cassel is not great and more than that, he's Eli Manning (as a twenty four year old rookie) as far as his development.
