ESPN #20 Last week #15

In getting his first start this week, Brodie Croyle is the first Chiefs draft pick to start for KC at QB since Todd Blackledge in 1987. So take that, James Kilian, Pat Barnes, Steven Stenstrom, Steve Matthews, Mike Elkins, Danny McManus and Doug Hudson.

Can Brodie Croyle get that passing game going? He had better if they are to have any chance to make the playoffs.

Fox Sports #17 Last week #13

Strong-armed second-year quarterback Brodie Croyle replaced an ineffective Damon Huard in the third quarter, but could not bring the Chiefs back against the Broncos at Arrowhead on Sunday. The Chiefs offense struggled from the get go, never reaching the end zone and managing just three field goals against a defense that gave up 44 points in Detroit the week before. At 4-5, the Chiefs still have a shot at the AFC West crown. They'll look to bounce back this weekend against Indianapolis. It won't be easy.

Would you trade the Chiefs' offense for Detroit's offense right now? Of course you would.

Yes I would

Kitna throws for a ton of yards, but also a good chuck of interceptions as well.

yeah

except id keep Bowe over Calvin Johnson, for some unknown reason. Then again Croyle showed he can throw all of the passes, and im sure the QB position is a good part of the reason we couldn't score. Our offence has been much better than theirs the last five years, so I wont cash us in for one bad half-season. We have better running backs and tight ends, so lets see what Croyle does before we make this judgement.

What defence?

Disagree about Bowe>Johnson

Calvin Johnson is going to be a superstar. He's huge, fast and has awesome hands. I would trade him for any receiver in the league, right now.

Besides, he has the best nickname ever. Megatron.

I see

think Bowe has better hands than johnson, but mabye johnson is a better athlete. Either way Bowe can end up being more productive than Johnson. Also hes a Chief so ill give him my vote.

What defence?
