Chiefs say no worries about a blackout

By JEFFREY FLANAGAN

With the Chiefs season having already spun out of control, could this be the week the Chiefs’ consecutive-game sellout streak (now at 140) ends?

And more important to most fans in the area, could this be the week the Chiefs’ game against Tennessee is actually blacked out on local television?

The Chiefs say don’t worry.

“I feel very confident (a blackout) will not be an issue,” said Bob Moore, Chiefs public-relations director. “It’s always a challenge because of the size of our stadium (79,451 capacity) and the time of the year. But based on our meetings, I believe we will be in no danger.”

So you'd rather have no game at all at that time?

It's the 1st time this idiot has ever been right about something.

When I saw that I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between Herm Edwards and Tom Coughlin. In this situation we've seen Coughlin throw his players under the bus. I'm honestly not sure what KC fans expected. It was a rebuild when he took the job over and he's got the entire defense turned around from the Vermiel era. If they had any semblance of an offense this team would be in the hunt for wild card spot.That offense still has troubles ahead and plenty of people criticized me when I suggested Carl Peterson was correct in being cheap when he wasn't going to sign LJ to the big contract extension. Now they have the highest paid player in Chief history with question marks about his injury that nobody seems to want to address. Where are all those people that were sure Damon Huard was going to be just as good in '07 as he was in '06? And the people that were talking about McIntosh being an "upgrade" at LT? IMO Herm Edwards is a defensive guy and was brought in to fix the KC defense and he's done that. The offense is a whole different can of worms though and while Edwards bares the brunt of using LJ too much I think Peterson deserves at least as much blame for assembling this group and wasting the last few years of Tony Gonzales prime in a group that really can't compete. He picked a good WR prospect in Bowe but how often do you see teams successfully rebuild their offense around their WR's? Matt Millen anyone? At this time last year they had immediate needs at OL and long term questions at QB. Right now they have immediate needs at OL and short-term and long-term questions at QB.As far as KC fans I hope they do sell out the game. GB and KC have the best fans in the NFL and it would be a shame to see the streak end because the expectations of a few were way, way too high for this team.
