Theismann Picks the Chiefs Over His Former Team the Redskins

PrintI've noticed that former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann is a bit of a Kansas City Chiefs homer. Over the offseason, he weighed in on various Chiefs issues ranging from the Matt Cassel trade (he thought Bill Belichick gave Scott Pioli a sweetheart deal) to a lofty prediction (10-6 with a playoff berth).
In addition to that, he picked the Chiefs to beat the Cowboys last week, while all his colleagues opted to go with the odds.
Theismann appeared on the Morning Rush with Roger Twibell yesterday and talked Chiefs and Redskins. 'So you're picking the Chiefs this week?' Twibell asked.
"Yeah. Yeah, I am," Theismann responded. That makes the third time in six games Theismann has picked the Chiefs to win.
And the prediction comes against the team and the city in which he spent a decade. Imagine Len Dawson picking against the Chiefs facing a winless team.
"The Chiefs have to look at this game and say, 'This is a game we can win'," he continued. "And players aren't stupid, they know what was coming [with the early schedule]."
As for a final score prediction?
"It should be a close game. I don't think it'll be 6-3 but I'm not looking for a 35-45 game either."

I am thinking a 16-10
maybe 16-13 CHIEFS WIN!!!
We have to run the gauntlet over the next few weeks, we will be better for it. Pioli is not done with the roster, he will improve it. LJ is getting ready to start whining again.
I think we'll have to score more points then that to win.
If we don’t do a better job in coverage Santana Moss will eat our lunch. Over the last three games the other team’s #1 WR has averaged 9 catches for 178 yds and 2 TDs. You can make an argument that Moss is better then all three of those guys (D. Jackson, S. Smith, and M. Austin).
It's a good thing Pioli and Haley aren't running AP or a lot of you guys would of been traded or cut for cast offs from the Pats Pulpit.
AVERAGES? 3 football games is actally a pretty big sample size
Wow. Best young secondary in football, my foot.
Week 6 Prediction:
Kansas City Chiefs 77 - Washington Redskins 2

I'm telling you
Herm really went out of his way to protect the young secondary last year with his cover 2 scheme where no LBs ever blitzed and the safeties were always backing up the corners. This is really more like a rookie year for some of those guys in terms of actual one on one coverage.
It's a good thing Pioli and Haley aren't running AP or a lot of you guys would of been traded or cut for cast offs from the Pats Pulpit.
Hows this for scary
vs. Detroit earlier this year, Moss went for 10 catches, 178 yds, and a TD. Those numbers look pretty much spot on with those averages we’ve allowed the last three weeks.
It's a good thing Pioli and Haley aren't running AP or a lot of you guys would of been traded or cut for cast offs from the Pats Pulpit.
Of course Gun is their D Coordinator

Only one TD, we have them beat already!:)

wow good stat ...i didn't know that...hmm
I hate that they got their first win before we did…screw the Lions…
I miss the single bar facemasks.
Today’s QB’s are pussies.
Week 6 Prediction:

With the Redskins O Line almost as bad as ours
Could this be a breakout day for our Def Line?
Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!
I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.
Big day for Hali?

Chiefs get first win!!!!
I say 24 to 17 Chiefs. Redskins are imploding from the inside out.
I beleive Dorsey will have 2 sacks and Hali…2. If we had just won that Raider game…and then the Dallas game….
Think of the fracture of the Dallas Cowboys if the Chiefs had won last week. I hate the Cowboys and they handed us 2 turnovers! Sorry, having problems with the past.

yup he's a Chiefs homer!!
He has stood by us week after week and watched us burn him over and over again…that’ 10-6 prediction showed just how much he must really like the Chiefs…that was really a stretch…now I like Joe a lot better…lol I’m a Theismann homer.
