I left other facets to Peyton’s game unmentioned but the point is obvious Peyton is probably going to be known as the best qb ever. The only problem with him is he will likely only ever win one Super Bowl against a team that had Grossman at qb.

If you want a team to win Super Bowls you don’t NEED a peyton manning type. You need a Matt Cassel type. Hopefully he continues to improve but he is built in the image of Brady who I believe has 3 Super Bowl rings. Brady leads a team as opposed to Manning who pretty much is the team. When Brady went down most thought the patriots would not be able to win even 9 more of their 15 remaining games to make the playoffs turns out they got 11 wins with Cassel. Yeah they had Moss and remnants of a really great defense, but they didn’t have Weis. or Crennel?

We are very fortunate to have a weak schedule this year. But this is the NFL and every one gets payed and some get fined, seems to me Chiefs just get flagged. All you should be talking by week 14 is the first team to clinch a berth in the playoffs. We are officially on a Warpath. We were #1 in the NFL after week 4 and after week 14 the same will be true. Tamba Hali most qb pressures this year of anyone in the NFL per game Derrick is about to break 50 year old records that took players nearly a decade to accomplish and he might do in a single 12 month period (2010) by including Denver 2009 season. We all know that DJ could already have the record of 6 INTs for TDs with how many drops he’s had over the years. I feel like Berry will be the one set the record books forever though. Just found out today Berry is 2nd all time NCAA history with over 500 career INT ret yards.

Hate Cassel all you want but the only way we get another qb is if “Bonecrusher” Bernard Pollard breaks his leg in the playoffs. The first time I saw matt cassel play ever, I was impressed. But I also wrote off his success because he was on a good team had randy moss and our defense kinda sucked although lacking no faith of my own. Croyle’s arm is more accurate but I like the setup we have. Two very calm and cool qbs who are now starting to take care of the ball. I would hate to be Philly right now. Or the Giants. My fav for the NFC is Atlanta and actually not because of TG, but for the balance they have. Plus they are an overtime vs Steelers and the “Amazing Maclin” away from being undefeated through seven games. Matt Ryan is Brodie Croyle’s arm on Matt Cassel’s body. Hopefully Cassel can improve the way Brady did in New England and we can have something as special. Three rings is unlikely. I could stop watching sports for a few years if the Chiefs just won one of Lamar’s quoted “Superbowls” in my lifetime.

Menu for Sunday:
Buffalo served up with some Harvard QB rib add in a little F. Jackson garnish and you have yourself a Feast.

Chiefs 38 Bills 17 32nd ranked rushing defense. You can’t teach someone to tackle in 7 days chiefs break 200 yards rushing for third straight game.

KC63, how about Andy Studebaker? I think he has great potential in the passing game, and with a little work he could contribute against the run as well. Don’t rule out Wallace Gilberry either. He’s light enough to make the transition to pass rushing OLB, or possibly function as a ‘tweener. We don’t really have a solid read on Cameron Sheffield either, but from limited preseason action I see some potential there as well.

For the time being, however, Vrabel and Studebaker splitting snaps is probably the best approach. Regardless, even with Vrabel’s age showing, this LB corps has matured a lot from last year.

So, yes, we need to address the QB position because I am not sold on Cassel as a franchise guy either. Yes, our team is run oriented, but I just feel an extreme nervousness every time the guy drops back to pass. I just have no confidence in the guy to lead us to a victory on a day the run game isn’t working so hot.

We need a #1 or #2 receiver. I think D.Bowe has stepped up the past two games, but we need a guy who can compliment him (or a guy that D.Bowe can compliment…if that makes sense).

I believe our rotation of Nose Tackles (Edwards, Toribio, Smith) has done pretty good. If we could add a young, dominant beast in the middle of the defense, that would just free up our linebackers even more.

We could use some more depth on the offensive line as well. Playing with two active tackles for however many weeks we did is really not smart.

With another exceptional draft our two, this team is going to be contending for many, many years to come. Of course, it all depends on Pioli’s ability to get our guys with expiring contracts to come back and be apart of this franchise long term.

As for KC being a playoff team, but not a Super Bowl team, I think that’s an accurate assessment. I want a Super Bowl team. That means going into the offseason with the goal of fixing broken pieces, and that starts at the top. The Chiefs are sporting one of the best coaching staffs in the league, but they absolutely must make improvements at QB, WR, and DL to compete for a championship.
