Sorry it took so long to write this. Like L.J., I didn't feel motivated.

Speaking of Larry Johnson, can you believe how frustrated he seems these days? He dances into a pile of defenders on every down, slams the ball in frustration and doesn't talk to the news media. Look, I was for the Chiefs signing him but he is quickly proving to be the worst investment since the "Opti-Grab" (See the movie, "The Jerk", one of the best movies ever made). I just don't see how a guy who carved the league up for two years could fall off like Lindsay Lohan's career. Hopefully he can get back on track against the Bengals this week who give up 152 rushing yards a game. Seriously, if L.J. can't get it going against them, he might as well pursue his rap career.

About the game ...

That was the worst thing I've seen all year and I actually watched the movie "Elizabethtown" on a flight back from Barcelona in May. Talk about captive audience. The Jaguars defense might as well have had the plays being radioed to Mike Peterson straight from Mike Solari. They knew everything that the Chiefs were going to do after the first drive. Damon Huard got pounded and the Herm Edwards and Mike Solari decided to go more conservative than a dinner party between Rush Limbaugh and George W. Bush.

How could the Chiefs forget that A) they had won the previous two games primarily because of the passing game and B) the last thing you want to do at home is take your own crowd out of the game by sticking to a game plan that obviously isn't working (i.e. running Larry Johnson into an eight man front over and over). I will go on record saying that this was one of the worst regular season losses in my memory. There was no passion, no excitement and the offense, once again, wasted a pretty good effort by the defense (they only allowed 17 points!). Even the kicker, who had been preforming well, struggled.

I'm afraid that the two-game win streak might have been a mirage. Just enough to bring everyone back in and then have their hearts broken.

Now, Huard is hurt but he may still play this weekend, otherwise, Croyle is in. Why is this a question still? Croyle needs to start now! This team needs to look at the future. They have been down at half by over 10 points in every game so far! That is NOT the harbinger of better things to come. Blow it up! Get the young guys in. Prepare this team for next year. Bowe should be getting at least five balls a game and Croyle should be throwing them to him. If L.J. can't get going, throw Colby Smith in there. Let's see what he can do. Look, the defense improved because the young guys have been playing.

It is time to quit SPAM on a silver platter and telling them it's filet mignon.
