Monday Morning Thoughts…

Happy Monday everyone…
This game went much different than most probably expected but still ended with the Chiefs losing to the Bucs 30-27. I still feel some encouragement but a loss is still a loss.
(I’m gonna sing for the 2nd week in a row) “Gettin’ Thiggy with it, nah-nah nah nah nah-nah nah!” Tyler Thigpen played a great game again yesterday. He didn’t have a lot of yards, but threw one TD, caught a TD pass and had ZERO interceptions. He gave the Chiefs a chance to win and that is all you can really ask for.
Chiefs QB Situation: Count me as one of those people that was impressed that Thiggy played well for two weeks in a row, but still wants to see more. If Tyler Thigpen comes out next week at San Diego and plays like this again, I might be jumping to get on that bandwagon.
At this point I still say continue to look at QB’ in the draft, but keeping it mind that if Thigpen finishes out the year like he has been playing the last two games, then we may not need to look at one at the top of the draft. In my opinion the Chiefs needs to draft a QB in the 2009 NFL draft regardless of how Thigpen plays, but if he plays well we may not need to draft a QB until around the middle rounds, unless you think that “franchise” guy is there, then you take him regardless.
The Chiefs also had a good day running the football as they finished with 183 yards against a tough Bucs defense. Overall this game showed me what the Chiefs can be when they get consistent QB and offensive line play.
BIG PROBLEM FOR THE CHIEFS: Defense. The Chiefs need to figure out how to stop somebody. I know they had injuries at the CB position, but good teams find a way to win even with injuries. Also, if the defensive line could get some pressure on the QB that help out those corners (and the rest of the defense) a lot.
Now some news about this site:
Yesterday I finally decided that I would provide you something that you can’t find everywhere and wrote an article about our game day experience that covered everything from us pulling into the parking lot until the time we left. I figured that since I am actually a season ticket holder to the Chiefs and make it to every home game that some of you might like know what goes on from Arrowhead from someone who was actually there, especially since I know not all you can make it to the games (and no that does not make you any less of a fan). Anywho, you can find that here:Chiefs vs Bucs: Report from Arrowhead
Last week we got off track and did not released a new episode of Brick Hits, but don’t worry a new episode should be recorded and released within the next few days for your listening pleasure.
Well, that is all for this Monday morning. I hope you all have a great week and that we can see a Chiefs victory next Sunday.
Go Chiefs!

I agree, if Thiggy plays consistantly strong the remainder of the year, I believe we have way too many other holes to fill in the draft. A mid to late round flier on a QB might be OK but if he keeps this up we might as well roll with it. How crazy have the injuries been for us this year though? They just keep coming, it’s almosted expected each week now to see who will go down next. That’s sad.
The injuries have been crazy this year no doubt. If you go by the depth chart at the beginning of the year we are playing with our 3rd String QB and 3rd String RB…
