2010 Kansas City Chiefs Schedule

2009 Review:

The Kansas City Chiefs were looking to improve on the 2008 record of 2-14 and they did but not by much as they were 4-12 in ’09. If you think about Kansas City of course you think back to the days of Derrick Thomas and Albert Lewis in those days defense was the Chiefs calling card in the day and time not so much. The Chiefs have struggled on the defensive side of the ball as of late, through draft picks and free agency they have tried to get back to the old days but they have not been successful. On the offensive side of the ball Kansas City brought in Matt Cassell to be the starting quarterback (and gave him a healthy contract to do so), they shipped off Larry Johnson who has his own struggles and brought in the fresh young legs of Jamaal Charles who turned out to be a solid find for the Chiefs. Also in the 2009 season the Chiefs leading receiver Dwayne Bowe met with some off the field issues something that must be handled if the Chiefs will take the next step as a football team. If the Chiefs are going to get better in 2010 they must get better on both sides of the ball, defensively they must fill the void in the secondary and have a solid leader to anchor the defense. On offense they must find a consistent passing attack to go along with the rushing attack.

2010 Preview:

The Chiefs are looking to get better but did they make enough moves in the offseason? Bringing in Thomas Jones for the two headed attack rushing the ball will pay dividends down the road. The Chiefs will bring back the hardcore smash mouth running game with Jones and Charles and it should be interesting to watch. In the draft to bring in hard hitting safety Eric Berry from the University of Tennessee is a key move to help improve the struggling secondary, he puts me in mind of Bob Sanders, he can play the pass really well but is also a great run stopper. Unfortunately for the Chiefs I don’t think many of the off season moves will pan out to wins for them in 2010. I think it will be on down the line before they reap the benefits. Matt Cassell must be consistent and they must have balance on offense if they can do that they may surprise some teams around the league.

2010 Prediction:

Kansas City Chiefs: 6-10 (4th place in AFC West)
