Very solid points, Hamas. Hadn't thought about the angle of the lockout possibly affecting the less talented/more system based teams more, but that could very well be a reality.

Makes it even more asinine that Haley was so soft on them this preseason and had them go to the movies instead of practice, etc. IMO.

Hell, Cam Newton looked like a star today...

Nice synopsis, but my summary of the game is for the simple man:



FAIL

Berry being out just funked the whole defense.

It would be nice to go away from this game thinking,"Maybe we just had a horrible day."


Instead, we know this team is bad, and it's best player is on the shelf.

I know what you mean. I didn't yell at the TV once today and didn't wish bad things on the opposing team or refs

Sounds familiar.

Rosemary Kennedy would have given more of a shit than I did today. I rarely if ever leave games early, and if I do, it's with only a few minutes left.

Today?

4:00 left in the 3rd quarter.

Pretty much drove 4 hours home in a fog.

As Ron Burgandy once said, "I'm not even mad, I'm impressed."

Impressed they could even exceed my expectations of suckitude.

That's incredible....you left today's the game before I left the playoff game (~10 in the 4th)

And I don't blame you one bit.

Ugh.

It was amazing man. They just didn't seem to even want to be there. The defensive players seemed to be trying in the first half but nothing was going right. They just were bad today.

It was a very mellow defeat.


No thrown remotes, no cussing, just a few sad laughs at how pathetic the Chiefs were.

Because they were doing so well before then

**** off.

heh, im waiting for the first thread that tries to blame it on the crowd. You know its coming..

We miss Smith. The nut crusher brought a nasty attitude that this team lacks.

This is Haley's final year before his lameduck contract year which means the Chiefs will either fire him or give him a contract extension at year's end.

I'd say that means Haley is in considerable danger if today is a preview of what is to come this year. He already has the wreckless handling of the Chiefs preseason strategy on his tainted record.
