I would be happy with the Chiefs getting back to having 6-8 games that are "Prime Games" for Sundays on CBS. I'm hoping the Chiefs are drawing enough interest around the league to maybe have a couple of games picked up for national broadcast later in the season. And that is a good possibility if they keep improving as they have since Thigpen got the QB job.

The Pats of course get alot of MNF games because they've won three Superbowls this decade. MNF wants stars out there for the national audience and the Chiefs simply haven't had enough of them lately. LJ and Tony G are our claims to fame in their eyes and that just isn't enough. If the Chiefs win a Superbowl they'll get their spots. Heck, if they started going back to the playoffs year in and year out like they did in Marty's era then I'm sure they'll get two a year like they used to. Unfortunately, the Chiefs are bad right now and it doesn't help our MNF chances that the Raiders stink too......although it won't hurt my feelings any if the Raiders keep stinking.......Chiefs/Raiders used to be a consistent MNF matchup if my memory serves me correctly, but this is not the case now. Finally, I think the scheduling committee tries to anticipate which matchups will be the best/have playoff implications. Cards/Niners wasn't all that great, but at the start of the year as they were looking at the schedules, they had good reason to think that this game would have major playoff implications, at least within the NFC West. No one expected a damn thing out of the Chiefs this year so no one considered them a good play on MNF. TCharlton,

Now this was a pretty good game. But way back when the season started and the schedules were being made, who decided to put this one on a Monday Night? Cardinals and 49ers fans were likely glad to see their team on MNF, and like I said it was a good game, but enough is enough. What are there like 17 weeks in a season? 16 Monday Night Football games? Is 16 multiplied by two NOT 32? Why could we just not let every team in the league, (32) play a dang Monday Noight Football game every year? The Chiefs last MNF game was on Sept 9th, 2005 against the Denver Broncos....4 seasons ago. Used to we could come away with two a year, now it is as if we are non existant. I know the argument would arise that if every team were to play one MNF game, then the really good teams like New England and Indy might miss out on some exposure, but some has to give. And for petes sake league, stop giving the Broncos all the MNF games, it seems like they are on all the dang time. Sorry all, I know that sounds whiny but I just needed to vent a little, last night I was sitting at home and I realized that the Chiefs may very well be a bad team when my first child enters into the world. He is due in January and my wife and I already have his first little outfit picked out for his hospital photos. It is a Chiefs outfit complete with a little Chiefs beanie and everything. God willing he will grow to cherish and love the Chiefs just like me and my dad. But we have to gain some respect back from the leauge somehow. Any thoughts from any of you out there how the Chiefs organization can accomplish this?

I kind of wonder though, if some of the injury bug could somewhat be due to so many first & second year guys. The rookies haven't had an offseason to build their bodies up... If in the offseason they can add through FA & the draft, players at DE, LB & OL. I think the complexion of the '09 team will be markedly different. The QB situation goes without saying though.

Don't know how you beat Gretz to the punch on that one. I like the signing if it's happened. Shotwell was the Division 1-AA defensive player of the year. I think that's a good indication that a player simply knows how to play some football, regardless of his competition level. Jared Allen was the 1-AA DPOTY, and so was Boomer Grigsby. If Shotwell is somewhere in between those two then that's a nice find at this point in the year. KGB sure would be nice to have as a pass rusher against a Saints team that throws the ball non-stop. I'm really looking forward to seeing what else the Chiefs are going to do this week. Thanks for the info on Shotwell findthedr. Don’t know how you beat Gretz to the punch on that one.

With Castille's size and prior experience I think he is more of a saftey prospect. Dujuan Morgan would be a better cb prospect than him, IMO. Dujuan Tribble on the otherhand would be an excellent pickup. He has ball skills, but is small. Apparently, the chiefs did sign OLB Kyle Shotwell. Below are his stats: http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=21722&draftyear=2007&genpos=OLB Mikeo, great ideas!

LJ is back. Although a fine RB he does not block for anybody, sort of matches the identy of the team when you think about it. This piece or that seem pretty good but there is always something missing. Vermiel all offense, no defense. Herm wants a offense to control the ball and strong def. Of course what we seem to have is a better offense than def, sure wish there was an answer on that, maybe herm can change his spots.

Eight tackles, two assists, and an interception. Pair that with Pollard's nine tackles, one assist, and a pick, and I'd say our safeties had a pretty good day. I'm optimistic that the Chiefs are going to have a good team in the next couple of years. I think we'd better get used to the idea of Carl and Herm sticking around at least until the end of next year. Carl I think will be gone regardless at the end of 2009 when his contract expires; Herm is probably going to have to come up with a playoff team next year if he wants to go further than that. I knew that it was going to be rough this year; maybe not as rough as it was earlier in the season, but they are making progress now. Take away injuries in the last two games, and I think you have two "W's" on the scoreboard. Our schedule is fairly soft from here out, we are going to win a few games. Hang in there, it will get better. Going back to the Chargers game, did anyone notice how well Jon McGraw played? Eight tackles, two assists, and an interception.
