Pitiful Playoff Performance

1/7 Update: In the aftermath of Kansas City’s 23-8 loss to the Colts, Coach Herm Edwards was asked to explain how one of the NFL’s worst defenses shut down an offense that had set records for five years under Coach Dick Vermeil.

“I have no idea,” Edwards said. “I’m puzzled, too, just like you. ... It’s the same plays. We didn’t change it.”

I guess I have to agree with Herm - He has no idea ... I hope he gets one before next season.
Well it happened and cynical KB is eating Humble Pie (what ever that is). Everything that needed to happen (see below) happened and the Chiefs are in the playoffs. All they have to do is beat the Colts - I would snicker and smurk but you see where that has got me :)

GO CHIEFS! SACK PEYTON! GO CHIEFS!



Here’s what must happen next week for the Chiefs to make the NFL playoffs: (1) Chiefs beat Jacksonville. (2) San Francisco beats Denver. (3) New England beats Tennessee. (4) Pittsburgh beats Cincinnati. The Chiefs would be one of the two wild-card teams because only Kansas City, Denver and the Jets would have a record of at least 9-7.


L.J. carries Chiefs past Raiders 20-9

OAKLAND, Calif. - Another victory over the Oakland Raiders took a little bit of the sting out of the Kansas City Chiefs' three-game losing streak. The Chiefs know they need a lot more help for that late-season skid not to derail their postseason chances.

Larry Johnson ran for 137 yards and a touchdown and the Chiefs kept their slim playoff hopes alive by becoming the first team to beat the Raiders eight straight times with a 20-9 victory Saturday night.

"All I care about is getting to 9-7," said defensive end Jared Allen, who recovered two fumbles. "Truthfully, do I think we're going to get in? No. A lot has to happen for us to get in at 9-7. If we do, it's a miracle." Read more here.

  1. KB,

    You forgot to mention the alignment of the stars. And the little skittle-faerie spreading pixie dust all over over the entire United States.

    Sorry, Bro', as a Bengal fan I couldn't resist.

    Here's to your faith.

    God Bless
