Kansas City Chiefs's Kansas City Chiefs friend's fan blogs

I am not sure if there is anyone else out there that is in the same boat as me but, I am so ready for the football season to start.  I live in KC and it is getting really hard as a local sports fan to stay interested in our Royals.  If it wasn't for fantasy sports then I probably would have dust on my sports mind.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, Kansas City Royals fans had a sense of optimism.  Remember back to the time when we thought this was going to be our break out year.....oh about 2 or 3 months ago.  A lot has changed since that time.  Injury upon injurry, game after game filled with multiple errors, and of course the lack of offense.  Frustration has set in.  Why oh why do we keep wasting good pitching performances by only scoring one or two runs?  There are times where they boys in blue will get on base...but how many times have we seen them stranded, inning after inning, never crossing home plate?  There are so many questions and so many places to point fingers.  Come on Royals, just pull it together and play some baseball.

As OTA's and minicamps progress while training camp begin to roll over the horizon, America's favorite sport nears its regular season.  While nobody knows how well teams will do in a season with the randomness of injuries and several other factors, it's always interesting to look ahead at the schedule and prognosticate.  Unlike most people, I'm not going to give just a win or loss for each game, rather I'm going to predict how many times the Steelers would win if they played a team 10 times.  For instance if the Steelers were playing a very crappy team, I would say 9/10 or 10/10.  At the end i will add up the wins and divide by 10, giving us how many wins they will have this season.

Week 1 Titans at Steelers

A great season opener with two teams that have plenty of history as well as new found bad blood.  The Titans are coming off a very disappointing post-season last year after earning the best regular season record last year.  While the Titans should still be a good team, they are losing quite possibly the most dominating DT in the game, Albert Haynesworth.  Unfortunately when the Titans "stomped" the Steelers last season, Haynesworth didn't play either, so no real gain there.  The big question will be Kerry Collins, and I think his arm will just about fall off.  I'll give the Steelers 6/10.

Todd Haley has chance this year to prove to everybody he can be a head coach in the NFL.  However the chance he took is on a team that went 2-14 last season and couldn't ever seem to find rythem offensively.  I've got to give them man credit.  He's got a lot courage and confidence in himself to take the reigns over for a team that most coaches shyed away from leading last year.  Haley was in the spotlight last year around the time that him and wide reciever had gotten into on the sideline.  Haley seemed to handle the matter with good authority and that is exactly what we need in the Chiefs organization.

Last season Todd Haley and the Cardinals offense orchestrated an attack on the Steelers that I'm not sure they were ready for.  After the outcome they couldn't quite get the job done but that offense that Arizona ran in the 4th quater was a high powered, gun slinging, pass happy squad that nearly brought down the Steel Curtain.  Granted they did have maybe the best reciever in the game on the field, Larry Fitzgerald.  But just because the Chiefs don't posses some of the high talented tools that Haley had in Arizona we still have quite a few that could get us started out on the right foot such as Dwayne Bowe, Larry Johnson, and Jamal Charles.  With Haley's "in your face" approach to the game he could kick these young players into the shape they need to be to compete at a level he had the Cardinals at last season.

During the 2008-2009 season, an encouraging pattern appeared.  The Steelers would start the game well, at some point fall behind, and in the 4th quarter, Big Ben would engineer a game winning drive.  This phenomena reared its head during the regular season, but in the biggest game of the year, Super Bowl XLIII.  Why is the leader of such a sub par offense (22nd in the league during the regular season) the engineer of so many come from behind wins? When examined, two major reasons can be found.

The biggest reason can be seen when you look at the common strategy of teams who have a lead late in the 4th quarter.  Teams always want to milk the clock by running the ball.  What do the steelers do best?  They stop the run. This gives Ben plenty of chances to have a game winning drive at the end of the quarter.  While having a chance is always nice, a clutch quarterback still needs to make the plays to win the game.  So why did the 17th ranked passing offense always seem to come through?  Ben's mastery of the no-huddle offense.
