KC Chefs - Preseason Game #2

On Saturday evening, the KC Chefs could not have asked for a better opponent if the goal was to show improvement over their lethargic play in preseason game #1 and the 2009 season.  The faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming off of a 3-13 season in 2009, and a preseason loss to the Miami Dolphins last week.  Tampa Bay was arguably a team that was worse than the Chefs in 2009, and could again be league doormats in 2010.

The game started off poorly for the Chefs as an early fumble turned into a quick Tampa Bay field goal.  To their credit, the Chefs were able to briefly take the lead after driving down field for a touchdown.  It was the first lead for the Chefs in the preseason, but short lived.  Much like in preseason game #1, the starters for both teams finished the first half leaving the game tied.

The second half was a display boredom, a symptom of inept play from players who will likely return to their minimum wage jobs in a couple of weeks.  In the welcome end, Tampa Bay won 20-15.  Preseason game #2 contained a few improvements for Chefs fans, but even with a better passing and running game, it all ended in another loss.  An 8-8 2010 record, capitalizing on a gift schedule is looking more and more like a long shot.  Professional football in Kansas City is in trouble.
