Seriously, I was light-headed. It was a physiological response to winning after a long list of …well…not winning. Okay, maybe not – but still it felt good to “just win baby!”
It seems Plaxico Burress was not the only one to shoot themselves in their NFL game last week. I honestly don’t know why any coach would risk getting the best placekicker in the league hurt when a game IS NOT YET on the line. Probably the same coach that would Read the rest of this entry »
It seems appropriate for this week’s blog to include what I’m thankful for. Of course family, friends, and health are foremost. But there has to be some part of the 2008 season we can all find to be thankful for…

There are a couple of items from the Chiefs 20-30 loss to the Saints that stand out to me. The first of these is field position. Shortening the field on the NFL’s number one offense was not the Special Teams finest moments. We also seemed to lose the battle at the line of scrimmage when it counted. And bad officiating didn’t help. (Yes – I know they only had one camera angle. So, does that make it bad broadcasting? Give me a break – it’s bad officiating whether it is on the field or in the replay booth – it’s bad officiating. They can’t fine me! Bad…bad…bad!!!)
And dropped passes…what kind of SHOW is that? Read the rest of this entry »
Never has losing had an allure of success. But there is something about this team. Watching the parade of players try to march in step last week at San Diego was a little unnerving. But despite the look of disarray, each man found a way to contribute. A young team finding a way to be competitive against San Diego was impressive. But a rag-tag young team, that practically had to introduce themselves to one another on the field during the game – well…that was special IMHO.
Monday night I’m fortunate enough to spend some one-on-one time with Herm Edwards. Throughout the last nine weeks Read the rest of this entry »
Good morning Gil. I SAID, GOOD MORNING GIL!!!
Perhaps everything you need to know about life, you can learn from Bill Murray movies. In particular, “What About Bob?!” Bob Wiley had three simple mechanisms for combating life’s fears and difficulties:
• “If I fake it, I don’t have it!”
• “Baby Stepping”
• “Death Therapy”
Last Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs continued to baby step their way!
The Chiefs had five areas plaguing them game in and game out throughout September and October. These were: Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve heard a lot of people talking about how moral victories mean nothing in the NFL. While I agree, I refuse to believe the Chiefs are not a better team flying home from New York, than flying out. As I said last week, the Chiefs falling to 1-5 at the hands of Titans would have been no different as a 13-17 final versus a 10-34 final. What was most disappointing about the Tennessee (and Atlanta, and Oakland) game was our lack of competitiveness.
Fast forward to the Meadowlands. Now we’ve lost a game, we could have won. Yes, I find that to hurt. It should hurt! But on Sunday!
On Monday Read the rest of this entry »
