It Could be a Long Season… Episode 9.

The good news? BRODIE BRODIE BRODIE!

We’re gonna get to see if Brodie is our quarterback of the future. He certainly looked, well… better than Huard. One ugly interception, which appeared to be the result of confusion over the receiver’s route… but a whole lot of bullets. The kid simply has a cannon.

The bad news?

We lost to the stinking Broncos at home… for the first time in five years.

Here’s why.

First and foremost, our offensive line continues to perform abysmally. I still don’t get how this year’s line can be so much worse than last year’s… it just doesn’t make any sense at all. Here’s hoping Herm decides to demote Mike Solari and put him back where he fits best… offensive line coach.

The return game still stinks, of course. I simply cannot believe we couldn’t find a decent returner amongst one of our young players. Picking up Detroit cast-off Eddie Drummond has been anything but a good move.

But most disappointingly of all… our defense seems to have its letdowns when we can least afford it.

The bottom line? Brodie may have the deck stacked against to help this year’s Chiefs be anything other than mediocre.

Here’s hoping the defense really steps things up and somehow we get even average performance from our offensive line (particularly the tackles). Maybe, just maybe, we can break out of this tailspin. If nothing else, we need to give Brodie a fair chance at being evaluated to find out if he really is the answer for the foreseeable future at QB.
