    JBully, you obviously can't read. That's hilarious.

    I never said Chambers drew double-coverage in San Diego, but Bowe has been taken out via double coverage. He's the only target Cassel has. They have no offensive line, and are better off without LJ. Get the O-Line in place and they'll contend, especially given their weak division.

    So this is a good thing for the Chiefs? We can use all the help we can get, to turn things around for us. I am hoping we can still pull a rabbit out of the hat, but it doesn't seem to be our year, hasn't seemed like it's been our year for awhile. :(

    "Which of yall is an English teacher or professor?

    Yeah, because it'd be terrible for someone to feel bad about being a moron, let's just be communists and say that this moron is as intellectually able as someone that doesn't type words like 'yall'.

    Actually, Mike 32, the headline is not "fine." "Get awarded" is redundant. If one is awarded something, one is already "getting" something.

    That said, would have been nice to see Chambers back in Miami.
    Oh well.

    Cheers...

    SD didnt drop the ball on this guys chambers has droped like 2 out of 3 passes to him every game , and SD already got 4 other recivers with way more stats than chambers, not saying chambers is horrible but his defently on a down hill , I do hope he players better for KC tho.

    oh yeah the reason for this is now we have 2 LB injury chargers needed the roster spot to add another.

    Considering that KC plays the Raiders next week, Al "Tight Wad" Davis should have picked up Chambers maybe he tried, I don't know but it does make the Raiders job all the more difficult.

    I am a Raiders fan that is disappointed with Joke Marcus Russell

    good maybe he can replace Bowe, he cant seem to catch anything. Even passes that Cassel put right into his hands.

    Kurtis A, you're dreaming. Chambers wasn't double covered in San Diego either. And you think KC can contend next year? That's hilarious.
