"That being said, Chiefs fans are completely justified not to buy the hype of what the 2015 season has in store for us. Why, you ask? Well, if history is any indication, the Kansas City Chiefs tend to let down their fans each and every year.After winning the AFC West in 2010, the 2011 Kansas City Chiefs came out of the gate by getting clobbered in their first two games. They were outscored 89-10. Yikes!"

"There is no getting around it, Maclin is a huge upgrade over Dwayne Bowe. We didn’t get to see a ton of Maclin in the first preseason game, however tonight he was clearly a focus of what the Chiefs wanted to do on offense. Maclin was targeted five times and caught three passes for 22 yards and a rare WR touchdown. The former Eagles WR also had one carry for eight yards."

"With the first half winding down, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith was actually having himself a pretty nice night to this point. Heck, he even threw a touchdown to a wide receiver, something that didn’t happen at all last season. But, that good night quickly turned into a bad one."

"Now, let’s remember one important fact here. Eric Fisher and Jeff Allen, the starting OTs, were both out. We knew this line would not look like the one that takes the field in Week 1 in Houston. We assumed with both OTs out that they wouldn’t be very good and we were right. The line wasn’t very good against Seattle."

"As veteran defensive lineman Mike DeVito gets prepared for the start of his ninth NFL season, he recently opened up about what it’s been like at training camp after missing all of last season with an Achilles injury.“It’s been great,” DeVito said. “Coming in, I have to admit I was a little bit nervous. I didn’t know what it was going to be like coming off the injury. OTAs felt great, workouts felt great, but until you put the pads on, you really never know what it’s going to be like."
