Jacksonville Jaguars 17, Kansas City Chiefs 7

The Chiefs looked pathetic yesterday as the Jaguars punched them in the mouth on there own football field.  The Chiefs couldn’t get anything going on the ground as Larry Johnson only carried the ball 9 times for 12 yards (1.3 ypc) and he also caught 5 passes for a whopping 3 yards (0.6 avg).  TE Tony Gonzalez had a solid game as he led all Chiefs’ receivers with 8 grabs for 100 yards (12.5 avg).  Rookie WR Dwyane Bowe (4 rec, 70 yards) and Samie Parker (2 rec, 28 yards, TD) both also pitched in on the passing attack.  Damon Huard left the game with an injured shoulder but he didn’t play that well as he completed 19 of 30 passes for 196 yards with 1 interception.  Brodie Croyle relieved him and he completed 6 of 13 passes for 83 yards with a TD pass on the last play of the football game.

The defense got pushed around by the Jaguars yesterday who had possession of the football for a stunning 36:43 of the football game.  The Jaguars rushed for 156 yards on 35 carries (4.5 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 27 passes for 201 yards.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report, General Chiefs Discussion by dawgpounded on Friday 5 October 2007 at 10:36 am
This game will be a battle of two teams that prefer to run the football and play defense.  Both teams are on two game winning streaks and the Jaguars have had two weeks to get ready for this football game.  But, it’s at Arrowhead Stadium which should work big-time in the Chiefs favor.

The Chiefs run defense is soft as they allow 118.0 yards rushing per game and 4.2 yards per carry so expect the Jaguars to attack them on the ground.  Look for Fred Taylor (156 yards) rushing and Maurice Drew (100 yards rushing) to battle the solid linebacking crew of the Chiefs early and often.  The Chiefs must also spy on QB David Garrard who is not scared to run the ball.  He has 21 carries for 99 yards (4.7 ypc) so far this season.  The Chiefs have a solid pass defense as they allow 167.8 yards per game and they hold opposing QBs to a 62.6 Rating so far this season.  The dangerous thing about the passing game of the Jags is that Garrard that he spreads the football around because he doesn’t have a #1 WR.

The Chiefs would be smart to attack the Jags thru the air.  The reason for that is because the Jags have a solid run defense as they have only allowed 64.5 yards rushing per game over the last two games.  But, you just know that Edwards will give the football to Larry Johnson often as he has 263 yards rushing this season.  If the Chiefs’ offensive line gives Damon Huard time to throw the ball he should have success.  With Dwyane Bowe (18 rec, 299 yards, 3 TDs) and Eddie Kennison returning this week the Chiefs should be able to put pressure on the Jags defense down the field.  That will also open up the middle of the field for TE Tony Gonzalez (21 rec, 238 yards, TD) who should have a big game.

PREDICTION:  Look for this to be an outstanding football game.  But, I think the Chiefs will feed off of the home crowd and beat the Jaguars by a field goal.

 

The Kansas City Chiefs are expecting big things from return man Eddie Drummond

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, General Chiefs Discussion by dawgpounded on Friday 5 October 2007 at 10:15 am

With Dante Hall off to a fast start for the Rams the Chiefs are left expecting more from Eddie Drummond.  Drummond has been one of the better return men in the NFL the last few seasons so he’s likely about to break some long returns soon.  With the offense struggling a bit this season Drummond could be a big help by getting them good starting field position.  Drummond has returned 7 punts for 59 yards (8.4 avg) and 13 kickoffs for 280 yards (21.5 avg). 

Kansas City Chiefs 30, San Diego Chargers 16

The Chiefs got a big win on the road in San Diego yesterday.  Damon Huard was sharp as he completed 17 of 29 passes for 284 yards with 2 TD passes and 2 interceptions.  Larry Johnson broke out of his funk with a good game as he carried the ball 25 times for 123 yards (4.7 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 25 yards (8.3 avg).  WR Dwyane Bowe (8 rec, 164 yards, TD) and TE Tony Gonzalez (5 rec, 71 yards, TD) were explosive especially in the 2nd half of the game.  The Chiefs finished up with 126 yards rushing on 28 carries (4.5 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 29 passes for 264 yards.

Safety Jarrad Page (10 tackles, fumble recovery) and linebacker Napoleon Harris (10 tackles) led the way for the Chiefs’ defense.  But it was reserve CB Tyron Brackenbridge who made the biggest play when he returned a fumble 50 yards for a TD late in the game.  The Chargers rushed for 133 yards on 24 carries (5.5 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 42 passes for 200 yards.
