Two things this morning. First, this will be a short version of this post, mostly due to the fact that I am hungover as hell and tried to milk every last second of sleep. Secondly, Jay Cutler: hahahahahahahahahahahahah!
And now the news...
Proving that he’s willing to follow the program as set up by Haley, Niswanger refused to talk about the injury and specifics. All season he’s been guarded about his words with the media, especially when it comes to the offensive scheme and injuries. It’s Niswanger trying to be a good soldier.
Unfortunately that doesn’t flesh out what a remarkable comeback he made. When Niswanger was helped off the Arrowhead Stadium field on October 25th and examined by Chiefs doctors, the prognosis was not good. Multiple ligament damage was expected and his wife Patricia was seen leaving the stadium with tears in her eyes. Those in the locker room after the game who had seen their teammate indicated that his season was over.

KC Star Video: Wide Receiver Chris Chambers
Chambers is the latest new wide receiver for Cassel to learn, and Cassel is the newest quarterback for Chambers to learn.
"You’d love to develop some rapport and a relationship with your receivers," Cassel said Thursday.
It helped this last Sunday, when Cassel and Chambers connected for two touchdown passes late in the fourth quarter. Chambers didn’t know the terminology for his routes. Cassel had to translate. Somehow, it worked.

Last time vs. Chiefs: back on September 20, the Raiders walked out of Arrowhead Stadium with a 13-10 victory, despite the fact the Chiefs had a 409-166 edge in offensive yards and a 25-11 edge in first downs. S Michael Huff picked off a pair of QB Matt Cassel’s passes. It was the best rushing day of the season for the Chiefs, as they ran for 173 yards on 38 carries. Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell was awful, completing just seven of 24 passes for 109 yards. Oakland punter Shane Lechler averaged 56.9 yards on seven punts.Opponent: Oakland Raiders from Bob Gretz

An interesting quote from Babb's Star article
After that game, Chiefs coach Todd Haley told reporters that the time needed to establish a relationship between a quarterback and a wide receiver is an "overrated" phenomenon. Haley backed off that statement Thursday, saying he was in a bad mood after Sunday’s loss at Jacksonville and because Chambers and Cassel had worked so well together despite three practice days together. "That’s important," Haley conceded. "Guys, the more they work together, get on the same page. We do a lot of things to try to get those guys on the same page."

it's overrated, no wait ... it's important! we have some good stats, no wait ... stats are for losers!
Coachspeak = BS

Nice Jab At Cutler :)
Cutler last night demonstrated exactly why he’s this generation’s Jeff George.

Good analogy
except I haven’t heard Whitlock yearning for him : ). I do miss having Cutler playing for the Donks. I thought he was almost as good as Jake Plummer in keeping opponents in the game. There was always hope for him making a stupid play to get the opposition a win. I’ve never understood why he’s never gotten that reputation from the sports pundits.

Because
When you’re out in the mountains toiling away on constant 8-8 teams, nobody really pays attention to the warts. Now he’s in the third-largest city in the U.S. in a higher-profile division and people can see for themselves why he’s not all that.
Although in fairness to Cutler, Chicago is usually death on QBs. I don’t know why but they just struggle there.

Cassel's a keeper
Chambers didn’t know the terminology for his routes. Cassel had to translate.
Leadership. Intelligence. Steadiness.
cutler
i dont but i think i’d take cutler over cassel. guy has garbage ass recievers that make pitiful attempts for the ball. i thought he was good in denver, there he had guys that actually could catch a ball. sux that he is on a garbage ass team. hell i think he would have done better on the raiders.

I'd might actually agree
that the Faders WR corps has more big-play potential than Chicago’s. I mean seriously, Earl fucking Bennett is the #2 for the Bears (if I’m not mistaken?). Hester is a weak WR1. Hard to tell whether it’s entirely Cutler’s fault.
Bask in the glory that is Kwame Harris. Poor Alex...
oh yeah
it still pisses me off that Russel decides to complete 3 or 4 passes in a row on the game winning drive. what the hell was that garbage. boggles my mind.
and yeah i definatly think qb and receiver relationship is important. that way they know how each other play and can help each other out in time of need.

Love the Chris Chambers Video...
He seems like a guy who has his shit together. Confident and smart but, not arrogent. He is a HUGE addition. I hope we can keep him around for a couple years.
