If any of you have read some of my other posts, you know that I don't think the Chargers are one of the elite teams.  I believe they are solid, but merely average, and have given many reasons why.  I also believe the Chiefs will bounce back considerably this year, an ...(more)

Pat Kirwan just posted an interesting article on the www.nfl.com website.  I believe it is entitled "Super-Sized" or something like that.

It is about offenses reverting to the power running game to take advantage of the current trend of smaller, quicker defenses, including two (blocking) tightend sets, big lineman, a bruising fullback  ...(more)

Last season (if my memory serves), the Chiefs roster had an average age of just over 30. 

Taking a look at the roster a few days ago, and prior to undrafted free agent signings - which only makes the roster younger - the 70 players had an average age of 25.6.  In fact, there are only 9 players who are 30 years of age o ...(more)

For all the Madden fans out there, a few things to look forward to or...not look forward to:
  • Two of the most talked about are the end zone celebrations, like LJ's tribute to Jay-Z and the ability to return missed field goals(how many times ar ...(more)

What are the top 3 things that - standing alone - could determine whether the Chiefs are in the playoff hunt or completely out of it?  I rank them in the following order:
