But make no mistake, there was nothing cheap, flukey or fortunate about the Chiefs' 19-14 win. They dominated the defending Super Bowl champs in every facet of the game, and easily could have won in a rout if their red zone offense had not been forced to settle for so many chip-shot Ryan Succop field goals.

Just one question...

Who the heck is going to cover Gronkowski on Monday? In my mind, the only guy that has a chance to match up is DJ and we need him in run support. Should be a huge problem.

2. Kansas City's crowd. The Chiefs haven't hosted a playoff game in seven years. That's a long time to get every red garment in the area laundered. We'll see if the Chiefs fans are as legendarily loud as we remember.

Re: Playoff Tickets purchased through ticketmaster

I was following some comments on getting the cardstock tickets for the playoff game next week, but never saw a defined conclusion. I emailed the Chiefs marketing dept and they said that there is no way to get the commemorative tickets when purchasing through ticketmaster. What a bunch of crap, but understandable. Just in case anyone else wasn't sure. Go Chiefs!

Matt Cassel: The award is called Most Valuable Player. Cassel defines the word for the worst-to-first Kansas City Chiefs. Cassel has tossed 27 touchdowns against five picks. It's the most unpredictable stat line all year. In the one game he didn't play this year, Kansas City didn't score a single point against San Diego.

Is Shanahan really a good coach? Or is he a guy who built his legend via back-to-back Super Bowls won by an entrenched Hall of Fame quarterback and a roster largely built by Shanahan’s predecessors and held together by proven salary cap violations?

Just thought this was a good point by Florio. We've all wondered this aloud, but not many media pundits actually put it as concise and as strong as this statement.

The Chiefs are getting good before our eyes. I said this week I think they'll win the AFC West, and after watching the first six weeks of the season, I think it might not be close.

I haven't rewatched the game or compared it to any other this season, but does anyone think that missing Kendrick Lewis this game may have hurt more than anyone knows? He has played so well back on that 3rd level and even though not considered a "starter", he's been called out by several media pundits as being one of our more valuable rookies. Thoughts?

Just saying....

Florio's take: Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel are reunited for the first time since winning three Super Bowls in four years for a Chiefs team that has a long way to go in order to be competitive -- but that quietly is moving in the right direction. The Chargers have typically started slowly under Norv Turner, barely beating the Raiders in the second game of last year's Week One Monday night doubleheader. The fumes of some offseason contract issues (two of which persist) could make it even harder for San Diego to get the pull the lawnmower cord on the 2010 season. Though they'll likely eventually win the division, I think they'll have to dig out of an 0-1 hole to do it.

Florio's pick: Chiefs 17, Chargers 14.

Here’s one of those reasons: Berry impressed Kansas City’s coaches when they kept hearing that Berry didn’t just wear a Volunteers helmet — he helped shine them, too. Berry would creep into the equipment room on Friday nights to help managers polish helmets.

Charles’ big day almost didn’t happen. Before the trade deadline in October, Chiefs’ general manager Scott Pioli offered Charles to the Redskins for a paltry fifth-round pick. But Washington GM Vinny Cerrato felt that was too high a price to pay for a backup running back. That might be why Cerrato was fired last month

Tyson Jackson and Chiefs reach agreement!

Under-the-radar move: Kansas City signing ex-Chicago safety Mike Brown to a one-year contract. During his time in New England, new Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli saw the value in having veteran safeties like Rodney Harrison and Lawyer Milloy. Brown, 30, will add that same savvy provided he can avoid the injury problems that ended his nine-year stint with the Bears. At worst, Brown can provide quality depth behind Bernard Pollard and Jarrad Page while helping the development of both fourth-year safeties.

But by using the economy as an excuse, the most successful pro league in sports has set a poor example for others. They're throwing people out of work, not because they're losing money but because, at best, they fear the future -- although it won't stop the owners from staying in $500-a-night rooms at their meetings on the California coast later this month.

Amusing fake conversation between Pioli, Cassell and Haley

According to Albert Breer of SportingNews.com, both the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs are interested in free agent cornerback Travis Daniels.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/05/patriots-and-chiefs-interested-in-travis-daniels/

Among the teams believed to be interested in Scott: the New York Jets, the Cincinnati Bengals, the St. Louis Rams, the Kansas City Chiefs, the New York Giants and the Arizona Cardinals.

"Saints coach Sean Payton pretty much ruled out signing Vilma to a new contract prior to the launch of free agency on February 27. "
