Welcome To My Blog

If you are into talking about the Kansas City Chiefs, this is the place to be. I am Aiken_Drum and I am a Chiefaholic. If you are too, great! Let's discuss this team that we inexplicably love to follow. Don't be afraid to be critical here. Positive or negative, they are all thoughts about the Chiefs. Also, do not tell ANYBODY here that they shouldn't respond in a certain way. You don't like what they said? Just stop commenting. Be the bigger commentor.

Mystery Solved--The 55% Solution


Howdy Chiefs Fans!!!  How ya doing???  What's with all those long faces and evil looks?  Come now, you didn't really believe this Chiefs team was going to go 16-0 on a march to the Super Bowl--DID YOU?  Sherlock has solved the riddle.  It's all about the 55% solution.

It was pretty easy to predict this down turn would happen if you were actually, you know, honest with yourself about how good (or not) this team really is.  Don't ever lose sight of the fact that this is about being good enough to beat anybody, not just to be 'improved'.  It's not good enough just to get better unless that better is really best.  Ya know?

We've Been Down This Road Before


There he is.  Mr. "Perfect" for Andy Reid's system of football.  Mr. I-will-save-the-Chiefs Smith.  Mr. 9-0.  

It's funny how the excuse machine is operating right now in Chiefs nation.  All the fans are very happy that the team is 9-0, but there is a strange lack of enthusiasm--sort of like when all those Go Chiefs comments end with a period rather than an exclamation point.  It's like some stoner trying to stand up and scream his team on who ends up saying, "Yeah, go, well sure, yeah whatever man", and then sits back down on that couch, hits that bong again and ends with a big inward smile showing approval of whatever red dream the herb helps create for him.

I wonder if DBowe knows that guy?

Obsession: It's not just some perfume by Calvin Klein


Hello Chiefs fans.  How ya been?  Have you, like me, been enjoying the fact that football has once again graced us with it's presence?  I am very excited for the upcoming season.  Football is my favorite sport and I enjoy this time of year more than any other.  It would be even more enjoyable if the Chiefs could mend their losing ways and field a winner.  Unfortunately in two preseason tries so far this season the Chiefs have only managed two more L's to go with a long line of them.

Is Andy Reid the solution?  While that question remains unanswered, what we saw last night looked familiar to me on more than one front.  The Chiefs losing games is very familiar.  Philadelphia QBs getting bum rushed and rolled over is also a familiar sight from the last couple of seasons, and last night I felt a tinge of that kind of deja vu.

Will Andy Reid's Chiefs put Flounderville In Their Rearview Mirror? Anatomy Of A Breakthrough.


Where for art thou Bewsaf?  Bewsaf was a fairly regular poster over at Arrowhead Pride a couple years ago.  He made some very interesting posts about our offense and it's performance on a weekly basis.  Then Bews started his own website and eventually he sort of disappeared.  I suppose he lost interest, and given the sorry state of this team's win/loss record, can you blame him?

Alas, Bewsaf has abandoned us to our own exploits.  Would that he could give us benefit of his opinion, but it is apparent that Bews, for enigmatic reasons of his own is no more on AP.  I very much enjoyed reading Bews thoughts.  I hope he is ok, somewhere sunny with his favorite beer.  For the rest of us, we can only continue on with the slog of our Chiefs fandom.
