Last week the Cincinnati Bengals knocked off the defending Super Bowl champs in convincing fashion while the Kansas City Chiefs dropped a game in overtime to the Steelers thanks largely to their inability to win the turnover battle. These are teams heading in different directions in the short term, and at least in terms of the Chiefs’ struggles over the course of the season as well. Kansas City is 1-8 and is one of just two teams with a net points total greater than -100 (the other being the Jaguars and it isn’t even close). With all that said, to the extent that its possible with a team like Kansas City, I believe in the Chiefs.

Mel Kiper says the Chiefs should draft Manti Te’o
The Kansas City Chiefs are currently in line to have to number one overall pick in April’s NFL draft. Right now there really aren’t any quarterbacks worthy of being drafted first overall, so ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. believes they should draft Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o. In my opinon, the best move would be to trade down and grab a quarterback in the mid to late first...
Dwayne Bowe wants to stay in Kansas City
Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe says he wants to stay with the Kansas City Chiefs and doesn’t want to play anywhere else, even though before the season started there was a report that he wanted out of Kansas City.

Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs: Week 11 NFL Pick
Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) at Kansas City Chiefs (1-8)
Almost every year, we have one team go from in the playoffs to 5 wins or fewer. Right now, every playoff team from last year has at least 4 wins. That means one of two things. We’re not going to have a team like that this year (only happened 1 other time in the last decade) or either Detroit, New Orleans, or Cincinnati is about...
How the Bengals will beat the Chiefs
At the beginning of the season, I thought the Chiefs were going to be a much better team than what they have achieved this far. They have a good line on both sides of the ball, solid linebackers and secondary. Great running back, top tier wide out. What they don’t have is a quarterback.
The Chiefs are really good this season at giving the ball away. Matt Cassel is an interception...
Cedric Peerman To Get More Touches?
I need a chance to take off Juan…
Let’s face it, BenJarvis Green-Ellis is an average NFL running back. Belichick knew it. He doesn’t do anything great and from a fantasy perspective has been truly disappointing.
The Bengals are saying they want to get Cedric Peerman more involved and I cosign on that idea. OC Jay Gruden came out this week and siad the following: Gruden...
Chiefs' draft history big reason for 1-8 record
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli has often said free agency is a flawed way to build a team, where players available are often overpriced or on the downward side of their careers.
Sure, it's always necessary to sign a couple guys to plug holes, but Pioli would much rather draft the right guys, develop them from within the organization, and generate the...

Bengals WR Andrew Hawkins Suffers Knee Injury During Practice
Bengals wide receiver Andrew Hawkins "strained his knee during practice", listed as questionable following limited participation on Friday. He joins rookie Marvin Jones, doubtful with a knee injury on the team's practice report.
