Kansas City Cheifs Trade For Cassel And Vrabel

It seems that Scott Pioli is taking a page out of his days in New England as once he was named General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs he has not stood still very long. After firing Herm Edwards he has now traded for Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel to help out a franchise that has struggled lately especially in the quarterback spot. This move will give the Chiefs pieces that they can build around. The Chiefs gave up their 34th pick in the first round to get them which in reality wasn't really that bad.

For Matt Cassel it gives him a chance to prove he can play in the NFL long term which is something that he wants to do anyway. For the New England Patriots they have to hope that Tom Brady will be ready to start the season. If not they could have really put themselves in a real bind. I guess we will have to see how this works out for both sides.

Wes Welker Fined For Snow Angel

Leave up to the NFL folks again to do something stupid and this time Wes Welker paid for it. The NFL fined him for making a snow angel after he scored a touchdown in the first half. His fine for the snow angel was 10,000 dollars. I have to admit the NFL is getting out of hand. I mean where is the fun in football anymore. I can understand a fine for taunting someone or a late hit, but a snow angel.

The NFL needs to bring back the fun in the league and stop handing out fines for such small things such as a snow angel. I guess the funds were getting a little low and they needed the extra revenue to close out the year. The NFL needs to get real and realize it is a game that these guys play and some fun needs to be involved.

New England Patriots Still Perfect

The New England Patriots didn't play their best game of the season, but did just enough to win and that's all that really matters. The Patriots stop the Chargers by a score of 21-12 as when the fourth quarter arrived the patriots were able to run the ball and chew up the clock and the Chargers had no answers to stop their running game.

In the Chargers defense though Phillip Rivers was hurt and L.T. only play for three plays before sitting rest of the game out. The Chargers had plenty of chances in the red zone, but couldn't get it in the end zone. This basically cost them the game and that is why the Chargers are going home and the Patriots are going to the Super Bowl.

Does San Diego Have A Chance

This is a question many people are asking themsleves and it could be real interesting for a couple of different reasons. Of course San Diego has a chance to win against New England. The Patriots want to keep going the role they are on and the Chargers want to prove they belong. It will be a long climb for San Diego, but one they can do.

The key to this game will be the Chargers defense that has played well and will have a stern test this weekend against the No.1 offense in the NFL. It should be a very interesting game and we will just have to wait and see what happens in this one.
