KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Chris
Wideman Senators Jersey . - After the way the Kansas City Chiefs collapsed
toward the end of last season, and especially in the playoffs, they arrived at
training camp in July with the mantra of finish.It didnt matter whether it was a
drive, a game or the entire season.Well, they havent done a very good job of it
lately.The Chiefs have lost three straight beginning with a defeat to lowly
Oakland, their opponent again on Sunday. What once was a team that was 7-3 and
barrelling toward the playoffs is now a team that must win at least two of its
final three to qualify — and might just need a clean sweep.We face adversity
each and every day, linebacker Joe Mays said. Its easy to play well when youre
winning. Its easy to accept coaching when youre winning. But when youre losing,
thats when you have to step up and thats when you have to play better.Thats
something that Kansas City never could do last season.After winning two games
the previous season, the Chiefs began coach Andy Reids tenure by rattling off
nine straight victories. They were suddenly the talk of the NFL, the best record
in the league. Then they went to AFC West-rival Denver and were flattened,
27-17.The loss began a streak of three straight defeats not unlike this seasons
swoon.And while Kansas City bounced back to win twice more, the Chiefs backed
into the post-season with losses to Indianapolis and San Diego — granted, they
rested nearly all their starters in the finale.They didnt rest any of them in
the playoffs, though. And after taking a 38-10 lead early in the third quarter,
the Chiefs failed to finish.Andrew Luck and the Colts stormed back to score the
eventual winning touchdown on a 64-yard pass to TY Hilton with about 4 minutes
left in the 45-44 victory, sending the Chiefs into an off-season with some very
bruised egos.You do have to learn from that, Reid said. We put an emphasis on
finishing and so now youre down to three games and so you put the clutter of the
playoffs and all that out of your mind, and you focus in on how to take care of
the finish. You take care of the game that you can control and thats the one
taking place this week.Besides, its not such a welcomed sight if they were to
look ahead.After playing the Raiders (2-11) at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs
finish up with a trip to Pittsburgh and a home game against San Diego, a pair of
teams also in the playoff mix.You know, you cant get to the end of the line
unless you take that first step, and it starts Sunday, quarterback Alex Smith
said. Stay shortsighted, not getting ahead of yourself. Everything is right
there, right in front of us.Mays said the Chiefs remain focused on the short
term thanks to Reid, who never gets too high or too low. The coachs even
demeanour has prevented a young locker room from panicking after three subpar
performances, including that disastrous loss a few weeks ago to Oakland.Hes real
cool, calm and collected, Mays said. He always stays that medium level, whether
its a win or a loss. I think thats great to have in a head coach because if hes
not panicking, we cant panic. Hes going to attack his job each and every day the
same way.That doesnt mean that Reid is trying to sugar-coat things. He
understands that the season has gone from promising to perilous, and that the
Chiefs need to find a win on Sunday.You have to be real with that, Reid said.
You have to learn from your mistakes in order to do that and be real with that.
Thats how well go about it here.NOTES: RB Jamaal Charles, LB Tamba Hali and TE

and listeners can tune in to TSN Radio 1290 Winnipeg.On Tuesday, the Ottawa
Redblacks introduced Henry Burris as their newest quarterback, joining Thomas
DeMarco and Kevin Glenn, who were picked up in the expansion draft. Last week,
the Blue Bombers made a substantial multi-year offer to Burris to take over the
starters role. In a telling move, the veteran pivot turned down the offer,
choosing instead to join the expansion Redblacks, assuming he thinks they offer
a better chance at immediate success. Do you agree? Are the Redblacks a better
option than the Blue Bombers right now? Last season, the Blue Bombers struggled
to a 3-15 season and replaced head coach Tim Burke with Mike OShea, the likeable
special teams coordinator from the Toronto Argonauts. Marcel Bellefeuille is
back as the offensive coordinator, a position he took over last August. Changes
are happening in the Manitoba capital in hopes of turning things around in short
order. And in a league the size of the CFL, teams have gone from worst to
competitive on many occasions so the Blue Bombers could very well make the
playoffs as early as next season. Expansion teams rarely compete for a playoff
spot In Ottawa, winning is not expected to come quickly. With a roster made up
of players who were left exposed by existing teams in the expansion draft, itt
will take some time to build a successful organization.

Hoodie. Thats what makes this move surprising. At 38 years of age, Burris
window to win is small and yet, he decided the Redblacks offered a better
opportunity than the Blue Bombers. Secondly, by making the offer to Burris after
his release from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the Blue Bombers made it clear who
their starting quarterback would be in Week 1. There would be competition in
training camp but the job would be his to lose. The situation is not so clear
cut in the nations capital. Burris will have fellow veteran Glenn, who likely
thought he had the inside track on the starters role before Tuesdays move, and
De Marco, likely the quarterback of the future, to contend with. While the early
nod may go to Burris, the other two candidates bring their own talents to the
table and will be gunning for that top job. Many factors go into making the kind
of decision Burris made on Tuesday and winning is usually at or near the top of
the list for professional athletes. Taking everything into consideration, Burris
decided Ottawa was a better fit than Winnipeg. Do you agree? Which team do you
think offers the best opportunity to win now: Redblacks or Blue Bombers? As
always, its Your! Call.
