But pruning the roster of another administration’s players is only important if the spots opened up are filled by more talented, more accomplished and more productive players. That type of improvement has not been visible. There are four new starters on defense (Tyson Jackson, Mike Vrabel, Corey Mays and Mike Brown), five new starters on offense (Bobby Wade, Mike Goff, Sean Ryan, Ryan O’Callaghan and Matt Cassel) and one new starter in the kicking game (Ryan Succop.)

Of those 10 starters, Vrabel and Cassel would be the only two who have a hammer lock on being in the opening lineup. Mays could find himself replaced this week by rookie Jovan Belcher. The addition of Pope puts Ryan’s status as a starter in jeopardy.

KC Star Poll: When Will the Chiefs Get Their First Win of the Season?

It’s one of the Chiefs’ many challenges, but misfires on the line could have devastating — and long-lasting — consequences. Kansas City quarterbacks already have been sacked eight times in three games, and only six NFL teams have surrendered more. That puts the Chiefs on a dangerous pace. If they keep it up, they’ll allow more than 42 sacks and keep quarterback Matt Cassel on the run during a season in which the team needs him to get comfortable and settle into being the long-term leader.

On Tuesday the Chiefs traded QB Tyler Thigpen to the Miami Dolphins for an undisclosed draft choice.

That was good news for Thigpen who was trapped in a no-win situation with the Chiefs. GM Scott Pioli and head coach Todd Haley did not view him as potential quarterback for them. There’s a good chance Thigpen would have gone to Jacksonville in a trade before the season’s first game, but the knee injury to starter Matt Cassel put that on hold.

So overall looking at the offense, there are at least 4 spots, where the level of talent is just not up to NFL quality much less starter.  Getting a top flight RB, a WR, a TE and at least one new offensive line have to be musts this upcoming offseason.  Or they can just check the waiver wire, since they seem to think they can find talent there.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Hy-Vee are teaming up for a very special cause. At the team’s October 4th game against the New York Giants, the organization will officially recognize “National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.” Thanks to a series of exciting programs, Chiefs fans are able to participate in the fight against breast cancer while showing their Chiefs pride. Kansas City Chiefs breast cancer awareness programs include:

Chiefs Continue Support of Breast Cancer Awareness Initiatives from The Mothership

The winless Kansas City Chiefs will continue their tour through the meat grinder when the 3-0 New York Giants pay a visit to Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday afternoon in the team's second of four straight games against the touted NFC East division.

 

The Chiefs opened their expedition versus the NFC East in Philadelphia, where they dropped a 34-14 decision last Sunday in which first-year head coach Todd Haley said afterwards that he thought Kansas City had a chance of winning. It's pretty hard to win a game, however, when a team goes 0-for-11 on third down and allows 420 yards of offense.

Most sports fans in America can only dream of having a simple basement filled with props of their favorite team.  But for Steve McNeely, his entire house has become a man cave of the Kansas City Chiefs.

"I love showin' off what I did," says McNeeley.

McNeeley has a goalpost hanging over his garage and a green football field painted on the driveway at his two story home.

Still sore from Sunday’s game, the Chiefs’ Sean Ryan joked that a group of preschoolers would need to help him up from the library’s carpeted floor.

The children from Operation Breakthrough giggled and swarmed the 260-pound tight end, re-enacting the U.S. Marines’ raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.

If the children warmed to Ryan like a favorite uncle, it was because they’d already established a common love.

Coach Todd Haley indicated that Dwayne Bowe could miss the Chiefs Week 4 game against the Giants due to his hamstring injury, according to the Kansas City Star. "Anytime you're talking about a hamstring, especially with a skill position, you've got to err on the side of caution because those things can end up being a long-term thing if you're not careful," Haley said.

The last year the Chiefs had a winning record, made the playoffs and featured a 1,000-yard rusher was 2006. That was also the last season they had a truly solid offensive line? Is it some crazy coincidence? Not likely.
