Despite Thigpen’s solid performance, the Chiefs' loss was their third consecutive, not to mention their 15th in their past 16 contests.

The defense surrendered a club-record 332 rushing yards. Journeyman kicker (and recently cut) Nick Novak missed two field goals. The former quarterback of the future, Brodie Croyle, was injured yet again and was lost for the season ... a1979kyle@gmail.com (Kyle Anderson) Kansas City Chiefs 2008-10-23T04:47:59-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/12941 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/12941 It's hard to imagine seeing Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez in another uniform, but it's likely to be the only major deal made by Tuesday's 4 p.m. NFL trading deadline. Gonzalez has never won a playoff game, and that's something with which he takes exception. One team that has won its last four playoff games, the New York Giants, reportedly offered a sixth-round pick for the frustrated Chiefs ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Kansas City Chiefs 2008-10-13T10:41:06-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/12085 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/12085 Kansas City released its longest-tenured player, safety Greg Wesley, July 18, creating room for rookie DeJuan Morgan. Wesley had been with the club since 2000. Morgan will likely fill Wesley's backup safety spot behind Bernard Pollard and Jarrad Page.

Poole was in training camp with Kansas City prior to the 2007 season, but he did not make the final roster. Horton was with Houston, but a fractured arm landed him on injured reserve.

P Dustin Colquitt Kansas City’s third-round pick in 2005, Colquitt has been a Pro Bowl caliber punter during his three seasons with the Chiefs. And with the team’s offense dropping to the bottom of the league rankings, Colquitt was arguably the Chiefs’ MVP in 2007 with an average distance on his punts ... mash28@swbell.net (Mike Ash) Kansas City Chiefs 2008-03-06T03:49:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10585 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10585 The Chiefs’ position analysis continues as we take a look at the safeties. Jarrad Page The Chiefs’ seventh-round pick in 2006, Page saw limited duty in his rookie campaign and made the most of his playing time. He registered three interceptions, plus an additional pick off Peyton Manning in the playoffs, and showed definite flashes of becoming a playmaker. In 2007 he became a starter in ... mash28@swbell.net (Mike Ash) Kansas City Chiefs 2008-03-05T03:50:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10555 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10555 We continue the Chiefs' position analysis with a look at the team's linebackers. Derrick Johnson The Chiefs' first-round pick in 2005 turned in another solid campaign, as he literally lined up all over the field at various points in the season. Early in 2007, Kansas City appeared to be using Johnson more often as a pass rusher, both as a blitzing linebacker and even at the defensive end ... mash28@swbell.net (Mike Ash) Kansas City Chiefs 2008-02-29T03:28:11-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10543 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10543 The position analysis series continues with a look at the Chiefs' defensive line. DE Jared Allen Earning his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2007, Allen has become one of the NFL's most complete defensive ends. He led the league in sacks this past year despite being suspended for the first two games of the season, and he has improved drastically against the run over the last two campaigns. Unable ... mash28@swbell.net (Mike Ash) Kansas City Chiefs 2008-02-27T03:31:32-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10518 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10518 The position analysis series continues with the Chiefs' biggest weakness last season, the offensive line. G Brian Waters An undrafted free agent who came to Kansas City in 2000, Waters has grown into one of the league's best linemen. In 2004, when the Chiefs scored an NFL-record eight rushing touchdowns in a game against the Atlanta Falcons, Waters became the first lineman in either conference ... mash28@swbell.net (Mike Ash) Kansas City Chiefs 2008-02-22T03:40:39-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10496 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/10496 Moving right along with our offseason analysis, we take a look at Kansas City's tight ends. Tony Gonzalez After re-signing with the Chiefs at the start of 2007, Gonzalez not only turned in another Pro Bowl season, he had one of the best campaigns of his surefire Hall of Fame career. Even with Kansas City's offense ranked second from last in the NFL, Gonzalez finished the season with 99 ... mash28@swbell.net (Mike Ash) Kansas City Chiefs 2008-02-20T03:43:09-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/7707 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/chiefs/7707 As the position analysis of the Kansas City Chiefs rolls on, we now take a look at the team's wide receivers. Dwayne Bowe Kansas City's first-round pick in 2007, Bowe led all rookie receivers in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. In addition to rewriting the Chiefs' record book for first-year wideouts, his five TDs tied Tony Gonzalez for the team lead and Bowe entered the final game of the ... mash28@swbell.net (Mike Ash) Kansas City Chiefs 2008-02-15T03:53:28-05:00
