Game DayThread - Game 10: Kansas City Chiefs vs New Orleans Saints
So here is game 10:
The Chiefs are 1-8 after putting up a respectable showing last week against the Bolts and are back at home to play the Saints. This is a big game for both teams, as the Chiefs need a WIN and the Saints are trying to keep pace with all of the other teams in their division.
For the Chiefs to have a chance in the game one of the keys for the Chiefs will be to make sure their running game gets on track early (LJ comng back determined would be a great asset for the Chiefs about now) and Thigpen needs to just not lose the game for the Chiefs (another showing like last week would be GREAT Thiggy). This should be possible since the Saints are ranked in the lower third of the league against the pass and have injured CB’s. Good Luck Thiggy.
One thing I am worried about in this game is the Saints ability to gian yards in bunches and put up points with the quickness. You know they like to throw the ball with Brees and I just hope that the banged up CHiefs defense can put up a strong showing.
Looking at this from a positive (and HOMER-ISH) perspective, if the Chiefs can get that running game going (WITH Larry Johnson, FINALLY) and the defense stops them every onnce in a while and creates some turnovers (like last week) I think we have a shot here. The Chiefs MUST win the turnover battle and cash in on the TO’s they do create if they want to stand a chance. That’s a lot of “IFs”, but I like our chances.
As always please post any comments, pictures, or whatever in the comment section below before, during or after the game. If you see something that you hated (or loved) let the rest of us know!
I’ll be yelling from my season seat ar Arrowhead this week, hoping very much for a Chiefs victory.
GO CHIEFS!!

Reggie Bush won’t play this Sunday
I don’t wish injury on anyone, but this is great news for the Kansas City Chiefs! Red Zone is reporting that Reggie Bush will not play this Sunday when the Chiefs take on the Saints at Arrowhead.
- The Saints had been hinting all week that Reggie Bush would return from his knee injury to play against the Chiefs Sunday, but New Orleans declared him out on its injury report.
The Saints also said three other starters (cornerback Aaron Glenn, center Jonathan Goodwin and fullback Mike Karney) also wouldn’t play because of injuries.
Officially the Chiefs are listing Tamba Hali, Pat Thomas, Derrick Johnson, Adrian Jones, Brandon Flowers and Patrick Surtain as questionable even though coach Herm Edwards said they would not play.
The Chiefs seem to have more problems with Reggie Bush type runners (than they do with bigger backs) it seems so this just makes me get my hopes up. 
The Saints have injuries in their secondary, Thiggy is playing great and now no Reggie Bush to deal with… Oh yeah, Drew Brees is still there.. huh…
Go Chiefs!
