(Ed. Note by Joel: Bumped up the time a little bit. These were originally posted a little earlier this evening.)

Good afternoon AP!

Welcome to the Week 12 edition of the KC Chiefs Power rankings summary. I didn't do one last week due to unforseen work committments, but they are back. Chiefs are starting to slowly work their way up the rankings due to winning two in a row and 3 out of 5. A win over the Charges might even propel them into the teens! Woooooo.

This might be my favourite football weekend all year. We have thanksgiving games, a Chiefs/Chargers game and the Grey Cup featuring my beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders! GO RIDERS!

You'll notice on the above picture there is a marriage proposal on the scoreboard from a Charger fan named "John". I wonder its everyones favourite BFTB Blogger Obviousman? I hope him and his husband are very happy together. That comment will probably keep me off the frontpage, but I regret nothing...NOTHING!

Anyhoo, on to the rankings...

CNNSI - Don Banks - 24 (Previous Week 27)

I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how I visited Chiefs training camp this year and don't remember even hearing about second-year linebacker Andy Studebaker, who had two interceptions and four tackles in that upset of the Steelers, which doubled as his first NFL start. It's a great name for a linebacker, although I shudder to think what Chris Berman will do with it in highlight clips.

ESPN - Paul Kuharsky- 26 (Previous Week 27)

They hope to look back at the win over the Steelers as a catalyst

FOX Sports - Adrian Hasenmayer - 27 (Previous Week 27)

Nice to see Todd Haley's bunch get rewarded for battling hard all season long despite their record. Now the Chiefs have something to build on: KC's first two-game winning streak since October 2007. THIS WEEK: vs. Chargers (7-3)

CBS Sportsline - Pete Prisco - 26 (Previous Week 26)

They're on a two-game winning streak. Beating the Steelers is a big step for this young team. The Chiefs are improving.

NFL Fanhouse - 21 (Previous Week 25)

Reasons to give Thanks: Larry Johnson is gone, but the lightning-fast Jamaal Charles took a kick return and a shovel pass to the house. Dwayne Bowe is suspended, but Chris Chambers set up their game-winner. Their trick plays are working and they just upset the defending champs in a fantastic game. So, yeah, there's still plenty to be thankful for.

WalterFootball - 26 (Previous Week 28)

I'm pretty sure every single SportsCenter and sports highlight anchor said of Kansas City's game-winning field goal in overtime, "Ryan Succop, Mr. Irrelevant, was not so irrelevant here! Hwahwahwahwahwahwa!"

Someone please shoot me now.

Well thanks for reading, I'm going to end the post with a pole:

Id have to agree with walterfootball

the mr.irrelavant-not so irrelavant- jokes are getting real old.

Das Boot

and Janikowski is looking human finally.
The NFL top performers list has nary a Chiefs, maybe one and it isn’t a kicker. Sad:(

We Will kick at least 4 Teams Asses in 09. Almost there :)
And Succop will be the Key in two of them. Skins & Raiders! Pittsburgh Sweet!

His name is Bongikowski

You know

I’m really glad that he was Mr. Irrelevant. If not you know they’d all be trying to make a play on his last name and that would REALLY get old.

TOUCHDOWN! KAN-SAH-CITY!!!

ok, so ive been murdered all year by matt forte and his 5-7 point fantasy performances

losing 4 games by 2 points in weeks he put up under 8 points….that being said, I need a darn win this weekend,…

so…do I Bench Forte FINALLY, and start Charles, or…do I go with forte hoping somehow he ends his streak of sucking?

part two of this is that Ill be at the game this weekend, so if charles goes nuts even better…

by SDChief on Nov 25, 2009 9:00 PM CST reply actions

there are other options, beanie wells/moreno but...I like charles as the replacement if forte gets the AXE

by SDChief on Nov 25, 2009 9:01 PM CST up reply actions

Forte vs Vikes D? No thanks.

by idahochieffan on Nov 25, 2009 9:03 PM CST up reply actions

Agreed

Seatle’s leading rusher last week rushed for 9 years.

Plus with Jeff George v2.0 as their QB, they will be playing from behind the entire game.
I’d sit him

I’d go with Beanie Wells who has been getting 15-20 touches the last couple games and the goal line touches

Also...

Warner took a shot to the head last week, so they may lean on the running game a little bit more this week just to keep warner upright as much as possible….Beanie Wells all day. I still dont trust Charles enough yet and you never know how many carries he is going to get, esprcially if we are playing from behind.

Good call

I’m starting to talk myself into some Beanie Wells!

I trust Charles.

I rolled with him every week since he became the starter. Gotta admit, back to back 15+ ain’t bad.

For justice we must go to Don Pioli

Go Riders!!!!

Chiefs win three in a row and Riders win the Grey Cup. I am hoping for a good Sunday!

+1

for making me spit out my beer over the “hope him and his husband are very happy together” remark. You kill me, Craigers.

The best part of the photo is that a Charger fan is proposing while Bradley runs in a TD

Think the Charger fan started booing when he got his answer from the prospective bride?

Priceless

10/19/09: The Chiefs are on their way to an 11-5 season...I think....
10/26/09: Okay, so it'll be 10-6, I can live with that...
11/9/09: So KC spots the league 7 games. 9-7 is respectable.

What the hell?

I got banned from the Chargers site. I guess they didn’t like my little marriage joke.

I was wondering what you did for that....

We wouldn’t ban here for that…sure it wasn’t somethin else?

I made 4 comments on their site:

KC is a 3-7 team and Denver is a 6-4 team…and they are going in opposite directions.

Great answer thanksThats refreshing verses "CUZ HE SUXX AND HAS NO HANDS AND CHIEFS SUCK TOOOO!"

…and I thought AP had a problem with rediculous signatures

Steroid smack from a Chargers fan?

I don’t see anything bannable there

How is that trolling?

1) Response to Jman who said broncos were a 10-6 team and Chiefs were a 5-11 team
2) Someone gave a good response to why Chris Chambers was released. It was refreshing because everyone else answered “Chambers sucks”
3) Some guy had a signature 20 lines long
4) Some guy said Bowe wasn’t playing because he’s suspended for being on ’roids

If you are going to ban someone from your lame site, at least tell him why

I can't believe it

The same guy with the 20 line signature over there asked one of our people if they had mental issues and that SD were going to rape the Chiefs, without him even receiving any sort of warning.

I didn’t see that you were out of line at all. They appeared to take offense to any confidence that we could possibly have in our team and that we could potentially win against their totally undeniably awesome team (Sorry, don’t know the sarcasm font.)
