Chiefs at Bills - Week 10 - Record: 5-4

It would seem that Trent Green had a miserable day, but any time what happened to him happens to any quarterback, it is the offensive line that had the miserable day. So let's just tell it like it is: the OL suffered three interceptions, six sacks, and a lost fumble. Trent Green does not, cannot, and will not have what he had two years ago (indeed last year when, really, we lost several games because of crazy plays that went against us) because the offensive line is a shadow of what it was. I can't say it emphatically enough: The #1 critical factor in this year's mediocre performance to date is not having Willie Roaf out there.

The was a game that really showed how weak this team is. We couldn't do diddly and this was still with a second-string QB in for the Bills and our defense neutralizing RB Willis McGahee.

What is scary is how old we are. Who are our top players on offense? Trent Green is ancient. Eddie Kennison and Tony Gonzalez are grizzled vets. Priest Holmes, bless him, I think is done. Larry Johnson is all we've got and you can't have a productive offense with one offensive threat and little strength up front as I just mentioned. Add to this the fact that Dick Vermeil just looks exasperated out there, and it spells big trouble.

Today, anyway, this team just looked horrific. When you add to it all two missed field goals and endless fighting resulting in two ejections, it is evident this is a team without the winning drive and spirit to be real contenders. Sigh. I can't give up on them too soon, so I just say "Today, anyway..." But looking at this team-- still, sigh...
