All Right God Doesn't Hate Us...

Halloween week and all is scary on the Western Front of the AFC. Winnable games are being dropped like razor stuffed candy apples into the pillowcases of the unsuspecting. Injuries are mounting more frequently than a couple of Molson stuffed Canadians during a cold winter spell. And now the Chefs are coming to town with a pair of ball carriers (running backs too) and a passing game that can rival any we have seen to date in ’05. Why I am getting that feeling in the pit of my stomach, that empty one you get after spending a half hour picking a splinter the size of a two by four out of your palm with a thumbtack. Yeah, that one.

The one saving grace that I can find in all of this is that Gunther Cunningham or whoever is running the ‘D’ show in Kansas City, still can’t manage to get his arms all the way around the obesity that is their attempt to keep us from scoring. Bad are the Chiefs yet again on the defensive side of the ball. Once again they find themselves amongst the bottom of the league in all of the major statistical defensive categories. Even with all of the new additions, these guys couldn’t keep a nun from scoring (although that Jared Allen guy seems pretty good). I mean that. And unfortunately to date, we have been the only ones that can stop us, and we have gotten pretty darned good at keeping us from moving the chains and finding the end zone, especially in the critical situation or two.

A few things to take note of here:

-Their receivers are sub-par, Sammy Parker, Eddie Kennison, Marc Boerigter (Didn’t he pitch for the Padres). Not elite guys here, A PROFESSIONAL SECONDARY WOULD STOP THESE GUYS!!! (Hey it worked last week.)

-Tony Gonzalez is having a very small year. Maybe he should try out for the WNBA. I’ll bet that lesbian angle would work for him.

-Their two headed monster of a running game. Not sure what I think of this yet as we are still pretty good against the run. But every linebacker on our team is a little more than banged up. Donnie Edwards looked like an autopsy patient on Monday when I saw him he was so bandaged up.

-Roman Oben signed an extension on Monday. His agent obviously asked management not to review Sunday’s game film before the contract was signed. The Astros took fewer swings that missed than poor Roman did on Sunday.

-Lorenzo ‘don’t take me in your stupid fantasy draft’ Neal got an extension today too. 2:1 says he knocks somebody down on Sunday. Any takers? He was quoted as saying the he was to Tomlinson as an “onion is to a hamburger, just adding flavor”. Nice.

My Pick:

We win big on Sunday ask Jason Whitlock, he’ll tell you.
