I have a confession- I would rather watch election returns than the Super Bowl. Yeah, I said it. This presidential stuff only comes around every four years. All media coverage today will be election related so make sure you check out AP throughout the day to escape. More on the Chiefs offensive explosion in a bit...

Quick injury notes- The Chiefs might have CB Brandon Flowers (hamstring) and P Dustin Colquitt (groin) but LB Derrick Johnson (hamstring) and CB Pat Surtain (quad) are less likely to play.

Rick Dean of the Topeka-Capital Journal talks about Tyler Thigpen starting again for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009.

The joys of rebuilding- Rookie CB Brandon Carr was the most experienced secondary player at one point last weekend.

For some reason, I like this mentality from WR Mark Bradley about his TD pass to Thigpen- "Actually, I didn’t think about nothing. I just went back and threw it. It just happened to drop in his arms."

Jon at MVN says don't blame Chan Gailey for Sunday's loss.

One more from MVN- Am I Talking Myself Into Tyler Thigpen?

A mock draft? Why not?

Cleveland Browns QB Brady Quinn will start this Thursday. Read more at Dawgs by Nature.

Geez...I know it's played out to criticize the traditional sports media but they can't see enough improvement in this team to write about it?

Rams WR Dante Hall will be put on injured reserve after suffering a high-ankle sprain.

Talking myself into Thigpen

I feel about the same as MVN in that I thought for sure that Thigpen would make things even worse and that we wouldn’t even be able to evaluate the talent on the team because he was so bad. But now the way he has played the last two games I find myself about to buy into him as our QBOTF. I would love it if he plays so well that he eliminates the need for a high draft pick of a QB in next years draft. Considering the huge need on the O-line, D-line, and LB core it would be nice to not have to also find a way to grab a top of the draft QB.

Has Surtain played "any" this season?

If not, it’s going to be a hard sell to keep him on the roster next year.

8 tackles, although I don't remember any of them.

Not a fan of the mock draft

I don’t mind the first round pick, but I think that we should go OL or QB in the 2nd and MLB in the 3rd. I think that the Chiefs need to still draft a QB in the 2nd just in case Thigpen doesn’t turn out to be the guy, even if he is the guy we still should take a qb every 4 years in the early rounds just to have somebody in the pipeline. That is why we got into this position in the first place.
