If it happens this trade the passing game is going to be very bad the Chiefs other recievers cannot break free on plays Bowe has a way of stopping his route if he sees that the ball is uncatchable. Brodie Croyle's only confident reciever he has is Tony G.He depends on him and Devard Darling only has one big play on this team and Mark Bradley is injury prone a start for a new team can help but when he is available he is inconsistent. Guys look for more dink and doinks to the running backs not too much homerun bombs this is going to be even more painful to watch. But again this is part of Herm's youth movement. I can say also I do not like ball control offenses this is no different than what he said about Vermeil's offense putting pressure on his defense . This offense is very much tiring our defense way too many predictable playcalling that causes three and outs . I very much miss the circus that left town because right now we are seeing wet paint on the wall. I think this is going to set this offense back even more .

But I would like to see him get a ring even if it means going some where else. If, like the Jared Allen deal we can get good compensation in the draft then we should do it. I think we will be lucky to get a late third round draft choice for a player of his caliber late in his career. Then again it is really going to hinder this offense with out his pass catching skills. Of course he has mostly been a blocker for the last two years, but still has managed to catch a lot of passes. Also, anyone see where Jared Allen now has three sacks, his sack Sunday was when the Lions QB ran out of the end zone and he was the closest Viking player. For a guy who was supposed to be the sack master on their defense, it is K. Williams the DT who now has six sacks on the season. I wonder if he is a step slow with all that money he got paid this year. Go Chiefs! I would sure hate to see Tony G. go, as he has been a productive fixture for our offense for so long.

First the NFL wants every team to "look" competitive for its fans therefore no fire sales. Second the chiefs have not been offered anything like what they want for draft picks. Third just ran out of time to do the deal. Bet it does not happen. First the NFL wants every team to “look” competitive for its fans therefore no fire sales.

– Tony Gonzalez Officially Asks for a Trade –

Don’t forget the Lions! I think they’re the Chiefs biggest rivals for a #1 pick. They always seem to find a way to lose.

Since it appears we're playing for a draft pick, that's the kind of race we need to watch closely!

One of the best games of the year and I must say that Matt Ryan looks all the world like a Pro-Bowl QB already. If the Dirty Birds can turn around their fortunes this quickly, there's hope for the Chiefs. That's what I took from the game. By the way, thanks for all the stats updates from yesterday, Bob.
