Turnovers have been a problem for them as well as a lack of pass protection. Quarterback Steve Beuerlein still put up good numbers but has rarely had sufficient time to throw and has been sacked too many times. When you have turnovers and inconsistency on offense, it obviously becomes difficult to move the football. The Panthers have been fortunate with Joe Nedney as their kicker, but he missed the key kick today. It may, but it will be interesting to see what Kansas City does at the end of the season.
Most general managers wait until the end of the year to evaluate the head coach and the program.
In this case, general manager Carl Peterson's contract is also up, so there could be some significant changes in Kansas City. The Chiefs appeared to be on the right track when they beat the Rams at home several weeks ago but have really struggled since then. They have struggled running the football and stopping the run, and when you can't do those fundamental things in football, it's very difficult to win. Adding to their frustration, both interceptions were in the end zone and the first fumble was coughed up on the Carolina 15. Sure we did.
