Chiefs vs. Chargers

Blogged under Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Wednesday 18 October 2006 at 4:51 pm
The Chargers have been flat-out dominating teams as of late.  After Coach Schottemheimer opened up the playbook, the offense has been awesome as they have scored 71 points in the last two weeks….both wins.  The Chiefs are coming off a game in which they got destroyed 45-7 by the Steelers.

Look for the Chargers to come out running the ball with LaDainian Tomlinson (407 yards rushing) and Michael Turner (277 yards rushing) against a run defense that is allowing 129.0 yards rushing and 4.0 yards per carry.  After the Chargers loosen up the Chiefs defense look for Philip Rivers to take some shots down the field to Eric Parker (18 rec, 274 yards), Keenan McCardell (16 rec, 178 yards) and Pro-Bowl TE Antonio Gates (18 rec, 255 yards).  The Chiefs are not really equipped to deal with a team with the firepower the Chargers have on offense.

Look for the Chiefs to play this one conservative……surprise there!  RB Larry Johnson (357 yards rushing, 3.4 ypc) should run into trouble with the Chargers run defense that is only allowing 71.6 yards rushing per game and 3.9 yards per carry.  The Chargers blitz very well and bring a lot of heat rushing the passer as they already have 21 sacks this season.  So Damon Huard will have to set up fast and get rid of the ball.  The Chargers only allow 142.8 yards per game passing, and they’ve intercepted 7 passes so far this season, so Huard will have to be careful.  This would be the perfect game to feed the ball to TE Tony Gonzalez (21 rec, 187 yards), the forgotten man of the offense. 

The Chargers are a better football team than the Steelers are, and you saw last week what the Steelers did to the Chiefs.  It’s hard for me to imagine the Chiefs having much of a chance in this football game.  Playing at Arrowhead should help a little bit, but the Chargers are winning and covering the pointspread in this game.

 

Chiefs lose one player for the year and get another back for this week

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, Injury Reports by ravenhater on Tuesday 17 October 2006 at 10:25 pm

Starting fullback Ronnie Cruz blew out his knee and will miss the season.  Back-up TE Kris Wilson will be the new starting fullback.  He should help the Chiefs out in the passing game immediately.  WR/KR Dante Hall is expected back Sunday after missing last weeks’ game with the Steelers with a sore hip.

Chiefs first round picks from the last two seasons play well on defense

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Tuesday 17 October 2006 at 9:25 am

The Chiefs last two first round picks look like players to build a defense around.  LB Derrick Johnson is the real deal.  Johnson is a really fast linebacker that can make plays sideline to sideline.  Johnson already has 33 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery.  This years first round pick, DE Tamba Hali has been much better than advertised.  Edwards decided to throw him right into the fire and he has responded well.  Hali has 25 tackles and 2.5 sacks.

Hardest division in the NFL

Think that oakland is doing bad? guess what Chiefs too. even if they got two wins, don’t matter SF don’t have notting to lose, neither do the cards. chiefs have something to lose in this division you have to win it all to get all no way teams that are playing like crap will earn that chance, specially in the west. i think now days playing conservitive won’t get you a w look at the other teams they score score score….. art shell? he should of stayed home. herm edward should of retired cause there is no such thing in running the ball on third and long….. and your down 30-0 and the defanse can’t even keep up. what the hell

Steelers dismantle the Chiefs 45-7

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Sunday 15 October 2006 at 8:55 pm

This game seemed like it was over after the Steelers first possession.  Now you see why Herman Edwards is so conservative on offense……to protect the lousy defense.  Damon Huard completed 16 of 32 passes for 162 yards and an interception.  Rookie Brodie Croyle got a chance to play, but I’m sure it didn’t help him confidence.  Croyle completed 3 of 7 passes for 23 yards and 2 INT, one of which was returned for a TD.  The Steelers keyed on Larry Johnson from the get-go, holding him to 26 yards on 15 carries (1.7 ypc) and a TD.  WR Samie Parker caught 5 passes for 72 yards and Eddie Kennison caught 3 passes for 57 yards.

The Chiefs defense got destroyed by the Steelers offense.  The Steelers ran the ball 42 times for 219 yards (5.2 ypc).  The Steelers also completed 17 of 20 passes for 238 net yards passing.

Herman Edwards needs to go to school and learn how to coach!
