I know what you're thinking, there's about as much chance for the Chiefs to beat the Steelers on Sunday as there is that Todd Haley and Mark Mangino were in the same Home-Ec class together. 

It may not be a big chance or even a realistic chance, but there is a chance....there is always a chance.

Therefore, I am going to make the exact blue-print for what should be the Chiefs' game plan going into Sunday's battle in Arrowhead.  If this list, or you can think of it as a schematic is followed exactly I can guarantee a Chiefs win.

If this were Facebook and Todd Haley was my only "friend", my status would read: "The Gauntlet Has Been Thrown".

The following is a simple 'to-do' list for a Chiefs' victory against the Steelers on Sunday:

1. Stop thinking Lance Long is the next Wes Welker.  He's not the next great slot receiver....get over it.  To this point what would make anyone think that?

2.  Design more screen plays for Jamaal Charles.  He's explosive but not a between-the-tackles kinda guy.  Give him the ball in the open field and let his quickness open up the field.

3.  Let Derrick Johnson play the entire game.  It sounds like Vrabel might not play, get over the personal issues with DJ and let the man play.

4.  More no-huddle.  Our O-Line is too weak to consistently set up plays.  Keep their devastating defense on their toes because we seem to only be able to play when we're in a hurry.

5.  Stop playing stupid.  Thank God the Raiders are about as disciplined as a T-ball team.  The only thing that made the Chiefs look not as dysfunctional as they were last Sunday, were the Raiders and something called Jamarcus Russel.  Stop with the penalties, bad hand-offs, fumbles, etc.

6.  More pressure on Roethlisberger.  Yes, we are EXTREMELY succeptible to giving up the big play, but 'Big Ben' will pick us apart all day long if we let him.  It doesn't always have to be a full-blitz or even blitzes at all, but get consistent 5-man pressure on the man.

7.  With that said shutting down Mendenhall wouldn't hurt either.  The Bengals beat the Steelers last week in Pittsburgh by keeping Mendenhaal in check with only 36 yards.

8.  Have Brandon Flowers blanket Santanio Holmes.  Holmes is their big play guy, and Flowers is the Chiefs only solid member in the secondary.

9.  Cause some turnovers.  Probably wouldn't hurt....c'mon secondary let's see it.  I know its possible.  We can't always rely on Darrius Heyward-Bey handing a safety the ball and the win.

10.  Stop getting down early.  Besides the Raiders, have the Chiefs ever been ahead in a game in the first 3 quarters?

11. Get the ball down the field.  Take more chances down the field with Bradley and Chambers.  If there was ever a week to do this, this would be it.  With Polamalu out, Chambers may have a chance.

12.  Open up more running lanes for Smith and Charles.  Easier said than done but it has to happen for a win.

13.  Linebackers have to be heard from.  Other than Tamba Hali, where are our other linebackers at?  The Chief's are running a 3-4, and out of the four only Hali is making his presence known.

14.  Crowd has to be heard.  I know its been ugly.  There is the potential for this season to be the worst Chiefs season of all time.  I also know first-hand that it is next to impossible to continue to cheer for this team for 60 straight minutes in most games. However, the Arrowhead crowd has to be relevant for the entire game.

15.  Hope for some good luck.  Pretty self-explanatory.

16.  And finally - Summon the power of Grayskull.  It really couldn't hurt.

That's it!  That's all that's needed....if Todd Haley and the Chiefs follow this blue-print exactly you might as well go ahead and put a check mark in the "win" column. 

However, if they don't it could be a long Sunday filled with multiple, disturbing, Todd Haley nostril flaring, public chew-out session close-ups. 

And nobody wants that.
