I'm looking to buy this. Like or dislike?

Herm on the running backs: "We’re kind of looking at a guy or two, maybe to put on the practice squad."
For those of you that said Quinn Gray couldn't step in and start right away because he didn't know the system: Culpepper possibly to start Sunday for Lions.
Very nice - the TV ratings are starting to rise after hitting a 7 year low against Tennessee.
Bob Gretz with an excellent rundown on the importance of stability at the quarterback position.
Adam over at AA picks his mid-season MVP: Dwayne Bowe
Stop, stop, stop! Jeffrey Flanagan says we are a couple plays away from talking playoffs. We've fallen into that trap once. Let's not do it again.
Our turnover margin is not indicative of our won/loss record.
A starting quarterback goes down and the backup outperforms him. We know how that feels (but our starting quarterback didn't have a $100 million contract).

Thursday night game

I’ve heard that they’re airing the Thursday night game on NFL.com but can’t find much about it. Anyone else hear that?

That would be the worst possible thing that could happen to this team this year. We’d make it there with a crappy record because we’re in a joke of a division, get stomped in the first round, and get a lower draft pick than some other teams with better records. God, I hate the AFC West this year.

Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

Yeah, I know

I’ve heard people legitimately arguing that. We won’t make the playoffs with 4 wins (at best).

What do you think wins the West? 8 or 9 wins?

by Joel Thorman on Nov 5, 2008 8:13 AM CST up reply actions

10 wins

I think either Denver or SD will get hot and win 10 games this year. This seems to happen every year that we write off the west and then one team gets hot, lately SD.

A few seasons ago

Seattle won the NFC West at 8-8 and the rest of the NFC was so sucky that the Rams got a wild card at 7-9.

I think it’s quite possible that the winner of our division could be 8-8

Culpepper

He played in a similar style offense to the one that Detroit runs, so it’s not that much of a leap for him. Plus, Orlovsky’s hurt and the team apparently really hates Drew Stanton as their QB this year.

Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

As For Roethlisberger

He’s been banged up a lot this year. That line is giving him no protection.

Leftwich looked good

Very good. Let’s see what Tomlin does.

Go Chiefs!

by bigknoxy on Nov 5, 2008 8:26 AM CST reply actions

$65

Which is more than almost all my shirts. But I really like it – I usually wear polos so it’s perfect.

A bargain

I don’t understand pricing sometimes. Would you pay $275 for this:

Not a chance

I don’t ge it either – That’s WAY to much dough for that !!

by HankerChief on Nov 5, 2008 3:46 PM CST up reply actions

Save your money and get one of these instead...

Sure you could get 2 of your Chiefs shirts for the price of one of these, but I think it’s much more fashionable…

The guy in the pic needs to have his pants half way down and walking the streets in Florida...

…it would be more realistic and some could relate easier to the sell

Just keep matriculating the ball down the field boys.

Is that guy sleeved?

At least we can pick out Chiefs n Chopper at the next game.

by Joel Thorman on Nov 5, 2008 4:18 PM CST up reply actions

Not making any excuses, just wondering

Since the start of the first game, how many injuries has the Chiefs had?

I know Brodie counts twice, but looking back the injury bug has cut into our hopes and dreams.

For those of you that said Quinn Gray couldn't step in and start right away

To be fair the PARADE could start for the Lions next week.

by Official Arrowhead Pride Parade on Nov 5, 2008 8:59 AM CST reply actions

Possibly

I know you’ve got that fiery demeanor most coaches look for in a QB.

As long as he

Save Your $

I bought an almost identical shirt to that last year (white parts were black but same design) for $19 at TJ Maxx. TJ Maxx and Ross are always good for discounted Chiefs gear. You can get the Reebok immitation jerseys that cost $75 for $25 and you can sometimes find the same gear they sell at the NFL.com store at huge discounts. Inventory changes week to week and from location to location.
