I'm still psyched for this game somehow.

Wanna see a tebow/donkey blowout & domination!

Psyched and pretty confident.

As opposed to last week, when I was psyched and not so confident.

Happy New Year, everyone!

I’m actually looking forward to this game. I hope Romeo takes a “release the hounds” approach and shows us what he & his team can really do. It would be great to see them have fun and end the season on a seriously positive note. Hope all of you had a good time last night.

Just keep on matriculatin' that ball down the field, boys.

I'm watching match up today

Hali going against Ryan Clady and D. Bowe going against Champ Baily. We need Breaston and Baldwin to step up today on offense, on Defense I’m hoping we do better against Tebow since this is the second time we seen him

I will also be watching the 49ers game hoping Aldon Smith gets a sack to get the rookie
sack record. GO MU !

I hope

Orton has a monster game. I hope he tears Denver a new one.
Hopefully he can solidify his spot as the starter going forward.

How long should you try? Until.

Ha!
I don’t understand this guys hype….

.542 regular season record
.455 record including the playoffs
6 winning seasons out of 17 seasons coached…
or 35% of the time he finished above .500

yeah not impressed

But are any other candidates better? I would say no.

I'd rather take a chance on someone new.

Than go with someone who we already know is not that great. Even Romeo didn’t have 16+ years to prove himself.

Bowe on Bailey

with a decent QB throwing the ball. I’m really looking forward to this one. I say Champ can’t shut him down. Or, won’t. Either way, Bowe has a big day. It’s time for him to shine.

Just keep on matriculatin' that ball down the field, boys.

would that make him GlowBowe?

Just mad cause I won’t see the chiefs finale.

Ah, hadn't noticed the open thread..

Splendid!

Panthers/Saints game has been pretty entertaining thus far.

Top 10 defense and another trip to the playoffs!

Today's inactive players
Quarterback Tyler Palko, safety Jon McGraw, wide receiver Jerheme Urban, tight end Jake O’Connell, offensive lineman David Mims and defensive linemen Jerrell Powe and Brandon Bair will not be available to play for the Chiefs today. Since he’s in uniform today, it makes sense that running back Shaun Draughn, newly promoted from the practice squad, would play some. Otherwise the Chiefs are left with only Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster at running back, though fullback Le’Ron McClain can only do some of the work.
