Ten Things About Last Night's Game (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=278709)

I went to bed and listened to 810 and 610 postgame shows streaming on my phone and didn't fall asleep until 1:30 a.m. I got 4 hours of sleep and am dragging fiercely today.

And you can blame our goalline **** up on our interior offensive line. I don't know what the **** is wrong with these assholes but they better figure it out.

That's exactly the case. Thing is at any given time any one of them can **** up.

Good stuff. Andy didn't do well. Don't settle for FGs.

But I'll give the Donks defense credit. They pressured Alex all night long. Our Oline is bad.

Exactly! I'd have taken it for sure especially IN Denver.

great job as always.

Andy Reid is a good coach, and I think we will be in the playoffs most years with Reid and Dorsey in charge. Having said that, Reid's (and most every other coach) pathological risk-aversion drives me crazy. You have to go for the TD on 4th down and you absolutely can't when down by 14 in the 4th quarter from the opposition 40.

I think its time for Mr. Davis to assume the goaline back duties. If he fumbles, he fumbles but at least try him.

1. C
2. H
3. U
4. E
5. F
6. S

Good job again George....a lot of good points.

One thing you missed.....I don't think DMAC should ever see another punt return or kickoff return. He is too busy trying to be Dante Hall.....good PR's and KR's hit a hole and run straight to it. If you get tackled so what.....but every once in a while you hit a seam and no one can catch you.

Demps is OK, but doesn't have the elusiveness.
Knile Davis has speed, but fumbles.
Arenas is in Arizona.
Can't put Charles back there....
Avery?
Jenkins?

Returns is one of the reasons McMidget holds down a roster spot. And there's not many players that are available that are "Dante Hall Quality" anyway.

I'm OK with using McMidget until they find somebody better.

-We have a QB that limits this offense and what it can/can't do.

-We have WR's who can't catch the ball, and can't get separation from defenders.

-We have an Oline that can't run or pass block for shit.

Makes it pretty hard to produce anything on offense when have these 3 major problems at hand. The really great teams can maybe get by covering up 1 of those issues. You absolutely will not succeed in the NFL if you're terrible at all 3.

The Sherman fumble was big. But that also came off a turnover (even dumber).

Settling for 3 was a huge loss. They just HAVE to find a way to score 7 with 3 shots. Taking the field goal was ok once it got to 4th, but it shouldn't have gotten there.

Punting in their territory in that situation was borderline criminal. Just awful.

We were right there all through the 3rd quarter. And what did we have...3 3 and outs? 4? That just can't happen.

Gotta fix it...gotta win Sunday. This thing could look a lot different after Sunday night.

Don't understand putting Cooper on Thomas at all...at any point in the game. Don't know why Sean Smith wasn't lining up across from him more.

Charles can't catch

We can't score from 1st n goal

Sherman fumbles when we're about to score.

Avery drops a huge pass thrown right into the only place he could get it, that would have put KC into score range.

They shouldn't even bother kicking off in Denver anyway. Just start each drive on the 20 and save the drama...

This game went about the way I expected it to, but it was amusing to listen to the Chicken Little's screaming about Smith, and Reid, and Dorsey not going after Tony Gonzalez at the trade deadline, and we're going to get exposed in the playoffs, and this team is a fraud and blah blah blah. One year ago, The Chiefs were 1-10 after losing at home to the Bengals 28-6. Quinn was our QB, Moeaki was our leading receiver. That was the infamous "Blackout" game. A year later, the team is 9-1, tied for first in the AFC West, battling for the division and home field advantage in the playoffs. With Denver having to go to New England, and then to Arrowhead, it's not out of the question that they could lose both of those games. Now is the time to focus, and focus hard, on San Diego and Phyllis Rivers. Last year KC lost at Arrowhead to Rivers 37-20. Time to make that right, because if we don't win Sunday, what happens against Denver the week after doesn't matter nearly as much.

This is a good one and one that we shouldn't lose sight of..

Let's just take this loss into context. Beating a division rival in their house is not an easy task. When that division rival is one of the best teams in the game, it becomes damn near an impossible feat. Expecting a sweep of the Broncos this year is just about as unrealistic as it gets.

Of course, we lost and we looked exceedingly bad on the offensive side of the ball, which gives us cause for concern, but we played a decent game against them on the whole. Clean up a few mistakes, bring this one to Arrowhead and we have a good shot to beat them in a 23-20 game.

(The "cleaning up a few mistakes" comment may just be asking too much though. After 10 weeks of watching our offense look like a ****ing orangutan humping a door knob, that may just be who they are.)
