Some players are just amazing to watch. Some display a mixture of athletic ability, knowledge, and instincts that leave us saying or thinking "Did I really just see that?" or "How did he do that?" The Chiefs have a pair of offensive players that, as Scott Pioli would say, are truly special in Jamaal Charles and Dexter McCluster. The electricity and... Read More

The Chief's Stock Report (Preseason Game 3 Edition)
By Rob Gerster
For me, this preseason game was a good one because my son was visiting from Minneapolis and watched the game with me. He is a youth pastor so his Sundays are typically reserved for activities in the twin cities. Tonight we were able to re live his high school... Read More

The Chief's Stock Report (Preseason Game 2 Edition)
By Rob Gerster
Assessing preseason game 2 in Tampa Bay is a tricky task. The Chiefs lost. That is bad. The offense showed signs of life. That is good. The Chiefs were -3 on the turnover battle. That is bad. The special teams were excellent. That is good. I could do this all day. Overall, I... Read More

It's the same – only different. My best friend used to say that all the time as we traversed our teen years. It was one of the many funny, odd, and yet poignant things he used to say. I was reminded of this saying Monday when I heard Romeo Crennel talking about playing "a different defense than before" when the subject of his defensive line... Read More

The Kansas City Chiefs travel to the Sunshine State to face Tampa Bay this Saturday, the second straight preseason game against an NFC South opponent. Both teams lost their first preseason game, the Buccaneers lost to the Miami Dolphins by a score of 10-7.
This is the first preseason road game against the Buccaneers in 2000 for Kansas City.... Read More

By now you've had a week to reflect and discuss the Kansas City Chiefs first preseason game. The loss last Friday against the Atlanta Falcons left many with a sense of deja vu. The initial stand of the defense to the first three and out by Matt Cassel and the offense was eerily similar to last year.
Like the 1966 spaghetti western film... Read More

Sounds good to me. Wait...a what?
It didn't quite sink in until I hit I-29 headed back to Blue Springs. A movie? Huh, did I hear Todd Haley right? He said the team went to a movie. As in popcorn and soda instead of pads and sweat?
I'd get something like "Remember the Titans" where coach Herman Boone took his players to... Read More

Was it worth it, or did you turn off the TV? It started rough, but I wasn't totally disappointed. It's the first preseason game, and not every question will be answered, but be thankful for Dexter... Read More

Have you ever been watching your favorite team and caught yourself wondering why you even like this team? The uniforms are still familiar, but the performance of the men wearing them nears the point of turning your stomach, or the coach plays a style that is counter to the way you believe the game should be played. This happened to me earlier this summer.... Read More

As you slowly get to your feet to head to the phone to call the boss, you think it's only August and I only have two sick days left - I guess I don't feel that bad. Or maybe the last time you were...

Preseason is in full swing and, with it, the hope that this year's crop of rookies will make a meaningful impact their first year. The truth is, rookies rarely make much of an impact, let alone start. That's just part of the development and maturation process of turning a former college player into a professional. The Chiefs, however,could have... Read More

Historically, unconventional thinking has often led to some of the greatest outcomes in the history of the NFL. When Todd Haley benched Matt Leinhart for an aging Kurt Warner, this was an unconventional move. When the Dolphins introduced the Wildcat offense, this was an unconventional move. In 1992, the Colts selection of linebacker Quentin Coryatt was an... Read More

Though the season wasn't everything I expected it couldn't have ended any better. It was a huge exclamation mark for Todd Haley and his team. My first thought was obvious, and something I was glad to see. The Kansas City Chiefs didn't quit, this game was still relevant to them. No white flag or halfhearted play. It could have been one of those... Read More

The Finger...
Accused of making an obscene gesture to a fan, Todd Haley said he appreciates Chiefs fans and wouldn't disrespect them. He says because of his five children he has to be a role model and flipping a fan off on his way to the tunnel is not the way he behaves.
That's nice, but Haley...do your kids read... Read More

Wow?! Strapped in? If the Kansas City Chiefs were a roller coaster they'd probably be the world's scariest. The Chiefs manage to flirt with consistent then drop, drop, drop back to appalling. Believe me, it's enough to make anyone run for the chicken exit.
What an awful game. I'm stupefied by this year's Chiefs team. They... Read More

Huh!? Okay, so I forgot what it was like - expectations. You know...hope! When was the last time the Kansas City Chiefs turned a corner? Oh, I'd say the ninth game of the 2001 season. The Chiefs have won two in a row, and beating the San Diego Chargers would be huge, but a light came on where there wasn't one before. The Chiefs grew a spine and... Read More

When the euphoria began to die down, following the Chiefs' 27-24 OT upset of the Steelers, the Chiefs and their fans began to realize how important this win was.
It has been a tough two and a half seasons to be a Chiefs fan. After the loss to Jacksonville, which marked the halfway point of the 2009 season, the Chiefs were 7-33 dating back... Read More

Running Back Larry Johnson officially gone. Old news, but some day some way he'd like to return. Yeah! Clark Hunt will leave the light on. What a wonderful country we live in. Run for a smidgen of yards good for a 2.7 yard average, get fired, and you're still guaranteed $2.1M for the rest of the season.
Football has been very, very... Read More

The Kansas City Chiefs have a new head coach, a new quarterback, have alienated, benched or released what seem to be some of their best players and sit at 1-6. It sounds like this season, right? It's not. I am actually speaking of Dick Vermeil's first season as head coach of the Chiefs in 2001.
Although, most look back on Vermeil's... Read More

When asked about the "right 53" Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel said things like hard work, consistency, smarts, and just doing your job. That was just opinion, because Cassel really doesn't know.

Sometimes it is hard to see improvement because the results look the same. However, six games into the Chiefs 2009 season, one thing is becoming apparent: the Chiefs defense is steadily improving and is already substantially better than the 2008 Chiefs defense.

At first glance, it might appear that the Kansas City Chiefs and the Washington Redskins are vastly different teams. The Chiefs sit winless at 0-5, while the Skins are 2-3, which hardly respectable, is certainly a place that the Chiefs would love to be at. However, the reason why doesn't have much to do with who the Chiefs and Redskins are as much as... Read More
