Football Depression

I know its been a while and you probably want to know what I have been doing lately. Too bad! First you get to hear me rant about football. Ha ha ha ha, cough...hack...sputter...HA!!!

I know not too many of you reading this are as big of football fans, or even like football for that mater, but it is something I really like, so there. You now get to hear me whine about football. In particular the Kansas City Chiefs, incase you have not figured out that they are my favorite team. WHAT THE YIFF!?! 1-5!?! That’s right 1 win and a pile of losses. Last year they get three losses and thirteen wins. What happened? That is something I have asked myself and several Chief hating Broncos fans, you know who you are, have also asked. I can give a few reasons.

The first thing is injuries. Yeah I know, they should not make or break a season. Good teams still prevail even if they are bit by the injury bug. Look at New England last year and Minnesota this year. It hurts a team pretty bad too lose a key piece of a juggernaut offense that plowed over teams last year. The Chiefs were decimated by wide receiver injuries. Just when they think they have a guy who can come in and fill in the gap for a fallen team mate, that player also ends up injured.

Next is winning on all sides of the ball: defense, offense and special teams. Last year the Chiefs were consistent on all sides of the ball, with the exception of defense. The defense still created lots of turnovers, even though my grandma could run 80 yards and score a touchdown on them. The defense is also starting a whole new scheme. With Cunningham returning the D-Fense has to start all over again. This usually takes time. They gave the offense a chance to get more points and score off of the turnovers. Offense, not much to say about this the numbers tell the storey. What happened to Dante Hall? Teams know how to play him now. He is no longer taking them by surprise. Has he lost his magic? I don’t think so. I think he will still amaze us. He is a good football player and that usually doesn’t just disappear.

Finally, and probably the most important piece, offensive line. Yeah they only lost one member, but that is huge. Tait was a key part of this O-Line. Yeah he should not make the difference, but when you have these guys playing for almost three years straight and then split them up. That is tough. Still this is one of the shining stars of the Chiefs team this year.

The Priest, Gonzo, and The Magic Man need some Vermeil magic. Dickey is the man who can keep them on track. The coach is the leader and the one who needs to keep their heads and hearts in the game. They can’t give up. I am not giving up. Not on a team that had 10 straight wins last season. True they are only 2 loses away from a long winter break, but I believe in this team and I know they will come through. Am I right about the above problems, probably? Are their other problems I didn’t address, maybe? I am not an expert, but this team is better than what their record says and we will see that change really soon.
