Chiefs fans it could get worse

Looks like King Carl is looking at trading Allen

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Chiefs' Allen talking with Vikings, Bucs

Carl really doesn't care to give the fans any reason to watch the Chiefs for the next few years does he? Watching Jared Allen was one of the few good things to watch last season.

As a Vikings fan, I really hope that goes through. I would love to see him in purple!

they will really struggle to sell tickets next year if this happens! They are already adverting on TV alot trying to sell tickets

From Allen, referring to the Vikings...

I can go to a team that is competing for a championship right now.

I do think that's a little premature.

But in a wishy-washy NFC...anything can happen I 'spose.

I have watched every chiefs game that has been on TV for like 8 years. I wouldn't drive to KC to watch them play if I was GIVEN tickets this season, especially if this crap goes on.

Trading Allen for draft picks? No offense Carl, but I've seen your draft results. I'd rather have one good player than 3 first rounders because he'd be hard pressed to get one solid guy out of them.

The Chiefs could be the worst team in football this year. By the end of last year the Raiders had passed them up.

Larry Johnson too many carries
Derrick Johnson wont take on the blocker
Bowe a step slow
and Allen OWI x 2
Tony G is old

And thats their good players.

I do think that's a little premature.

he didn't mention what kind of championship, did he? NFC North Championship? Fishing Tournament Championship? WWE Cruiserweight Championship?

He could do all of those things with the Vikings.

We went to a game last year when it was about November, and I bet there was no more than 15k people there at the start of the game.

I never envisioned the Chiefs as an organization that would need to blow everything up to rebuild the team, but obviously that's the case right now. At least they can get picks and find some gems

That's too bad. Arrowhead is one of the best venues in the league when it's packed.

I've been there a couple of times, but I will never forget ISU vs FSU in the Eddie Robinson Classic. Easily one of the best football environments I have ever been a part of.

I've been to Arrowhead many times, and it's usually rocking. Last year the fanbase was just beaten down. Ownership and management is expecting college-esque devotion from it's fanbase and they aren't having it anymore.

Ditto. The place wasn't even packed and the noise in there was like nothing else I've ever heard.

Arrowhead has been voted by NFL players several times as THE loudest and best home-field advantage in the league; of course, that probably doesn't include the last couple of years.
KC fans deserve much better.
