KC Chiefs Week 1: vs Atlanta Falcons

[SB Shock]

KC plays week 1 at home versus Atlanta. Chiefs will be without their defensive play maker Tambi Hali who was suspended for substance abuse. If Chiefs D play like how they finished the preseason then it could be an ugly opening day against the Falcons offense.

Chiefs Realize Brady Quinn Received 'Frog And Toad Are Friends' Instead Of Playbook

KANSAS CITY, MO—Dismayed Kansas City Chiefs personnel told reporters Monday that backup quarterback Brady Quinn had mistakenly received a copy of Arnold Lobel's children's picture book Frog And Toad Are Friends instead of the team's 54-page playbook. "Brady kept talking about how he spent hours each night poring over the book and memorizing the diagrams in it," Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel said of the Caldecott Honor book, which is designated level two in the "I Can Read" series and is intended for "readers who are increasingly confident, but still need some help." "It wasn't until he started telling little stories in the huddle about coat buttons and ponds that we realized something was up. He does seem to have learned some important lessons about friendship from the book. He's more communicative on the field, and he's sharing the ball better, but he's much further away from being game-ready than we thought." At press time, Quinn was preparing for Sunday's season opener against the Atlanta Falcons by carefully studying footage from the second season of Yo Gabba Gabba!

We lose by 17

[shock]

KC wins by three, not 17. Sub, when did you move to ATL?

[SB Shock]

We lose by 17

Yeah, I figure KC Chiefs will be just like the KC Royals and suck also, but hope still springs eternal for at least the next couple days.

BTW, Cassell name captain of Offense and Johnson/Berry named captains of Defense.

Derrick Johnson did some light practice and is expected to start.
Kendrick Lewis is hurt and didn't practice and is questionable
Brandon Flowers did some light practice today is still questionable

Peter King prediction and Jovan Belcher didn't practice today due to groin injury.

If the defense can play at the same high level that they did last year, I like our team this year.

However with all these injuries I'm just not so sure.

Somebody on Arrowhead Pride pointed out that these small injuries are not abnormal
Its not like the main players all went down width season ending injuries.

No, but they've gone down with week ending injuries

Well they are not playing at the same level, there are probably lots of good reason why they are not, but bottomline is their secondary is weak, no pass rush and it could get ugly here real quick.

Falcons 17, Chiefs 10 after a 8 play, 73 yard Matt Ryan led drive.

[SB Shock]

Charles with a big run. He looks like he's going to be ok.

[SB Shock]

Chiefs tie it back up 17-17.

[shock]

This is good football.
