That was a good catch by Maehl and a bad throw by Leinart...

That was weird but great catch by Johnson.
To bad it got wiped out.

Why would the chiefs play their one's.....

So Haley wanted them to get more snaps.
Bit him in the ass again. And what will he do about it? Certainly not give the ball to Charles that’s for sure.
