The Chiefs reverted back to the awful, too conservative offense last Saturday Night and the result was a shutout at the hands of the pitiful Miami Dolphins.  Brodie Croyle started the game and he was awful completing 12 of 21 passes for 110 yards with 1 interception.  Damon Huard wasn’t much better completing 3 of 7 passes for 26 yards with 1 interception.  Tyler Thigpen was really pathetic in this game as he completed 1 of 5 passes for -5 yards with a interception.  Larry Johnson led the Chiefs in rushing in this game with 36 yards rushing on 13 carries (2.8 ypc).  Dantrell Savage had a solid game with 29 yards rushing on 4 carries (7.3 ypc).  Kolby Smith was busy in this game as he carried the ball 4 times for 10 yards (2.5 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 38 yards (9.5 avg).  The Chiefs rushed for 90 yards in this game on 25 carries (3.6 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 33 passes for only 99 yards.

Safety Bernard Pollard, cornerback Brandon Flowers and linebackers Pat Thomas and Derrick Johnson each had 4 tackles against the Dolphins to lead the way for the Chiefs’ defense.  The Dolphins finished up with 164 yards rushing on 31 carries (5.3 ypc) and they also completed 13 of 22 passes for 108 yards.  The Chiefs can’t afford to play conservative like they did in this game or they will lose another 12 games in 2008.
