I'm not going to blame Larry Johnson when the offensive line can't open a hole to save it's life. Similarly, I'm not going to blame Thigpen when he has no time to throw. He had time to throw. He generally did not take advantage.

Oh and Conner Barth hits a field goal. can't forget that one

Claythan forgot to switch from his demonpenz account.

:BS:

That chuckleheaded waste of roster space RB you're knob-slobbering has wasted plenty of holes standing around in the backfield. Sorry, your man-crush is so SOFT he should be the new spokesman for Downy.

Claythan, you're dumb. You take the "Thigpen sucks" mantra because you committed to it long ago. Don't come here and try to prove something that's not true. We all know you don't have the mental capacity to argue the point. Thigpen's play has been very good. Try arguing why LJ suddenly trips on his own shoestrings over the past few games.

I guess Thigpen is responsible for allowing Rivers to throw for over 400 yards as well? Damn he sucks. He should be in there rushing the QB.

I don't mind the attacks. They're just the product of weak minds.

Quarterback is always going to be an issue when the offense sputters and dies. Are you kidding me?

The defense choked, yeah, but they kept setting up the offense in the second half and Thigpen just did...nothing.

A couple drives and we're not even having this conversation. But Thigpen just did...nothing. Nothing at all.

Yes about LJ. He just doesnt have the heart to play football anymore. I was on LJ's side for a long time, but its time to cut his ass loose and get someone younger with more speed. I know our Oline sucks, but LJ seems to go down everytime he's touched now days.

Yeah, I mean the defense gave is great field position all day. I think 1 drive maybe.

he runs up a lineman's ass all the time when he should be going outside or making a cut. dude has zero field vision.

and i've never seen a running back who is caught from behind so frequently

They kept stopping the Chargers over and over and over and over again. Christ, we had 8 possessions in the second half.

Thigpen is a young qb thats going to make mistakes. He's going to have a bad game. Hey, all world rookie Matt Ryan threw 2 interceptions today. Shit like this is GOING To happen.

I guess Dorsey doesnt have what it takes to be a DT in this league either. He's been invisible in his rookie campaign. He was drafted to high to be looking like he is!

*sarcasm of course*

Just like you at life or journalism, huh?

I think we need a new defense. Then we wont dump the entire game on the shoulders of a rookie.

the back field that lost a back up to season ending surgery? I see all these RB's with big contracts hurt every season and missing games. LJ had one fluke with the foot injury, but has always been ready to play on game day other than that. He's more reliable than you think. I just know it won't convince you.

Larry showed great heart on that third and one...

Well blame Thigy for being paid $40 mil and not running for 1 yard, ok?

Cept he falls over to easy. He's not running away from anyone. He's not shifty anymore. He's only meant to run inside the tackles once he cant do that, its game over for him. He doesnt have the speed anymore to run outside the tackles like he used too. He's used up with this Oline.

He is reliable. I can always be confident that in a must-have-yards scenario, he'll do his best Greg Hill impression.

So what does a big, black cock taste like?

im curious as to what a fat over weight slob such as your self, would know what it takes to play physical athletic sport such as football....

A world class NFL scout you are not, claythan...

:spock:

haha, I laughed when i seen that.

this coming from a guy, who worshiped a damon horrid

ROFL Great heart, but poor vision, commitment, strength, will, ability, and production.

Pretty much. The overpaid/overrated RB's field vision makes him the Bizzaro-world version of Marcus Allen.

He's becoming more and more of a larger Greg Hill every week.

He's averaging 4.5 YPC.

Get some dudes who can block and he'll rape.

Thigpen will probably still fire terrible passes, even with perfect blocking. If he doesn't take off and run first.

BLA BLA BLA.....he couldn't get 1 yard when it mattered....AGAIN!
And yea, that TD thigy threw to DB was terrible! I mean it hit him righ tin the numbers!

Hell, thats like almost every running back in the league. Get a good line and you run for big yards!

What was he supposed to do? Activate his rocket boosters?

The dude sold out his body, Priest-style. The OL got shoved backwards right into his jump. Jim Brown in his prime wouldn't have gotten that first down.

Do you really think "every" RB in the league would be averaging 4.5 YPC behind THIS line?

Larry has TWO 60+ yard runs this year...you think "every" RB can boast that?

Thigpen wasn't the only reason we lost but Claythan's right that hes not that good right now. His ability to throw down the field is terrible. Bradley was open on the 3rd and 1 but thigpen threw it out of bounds. I cant even remember 1 completion that traveled more than 10 yards in the air today. His pick in the red zone he tried to throw in between 4 guys and he got lucky when a charger dropped a pick 6. I didn't see much to get excited about today.

Dude, stats are for losers. How about the 1 yard he didn't get to win the game, AGAIN?ROFL

Worthless thread by a worthless speculative "reporter" after a loss.

Ok, so the bombs he hit Bradley on game after game his first few games don't count?

Bradley was not open and it would of been a tough catch regardless of where it was thrown.

His pick in the red zone was tipped at the line then again by a LB, then picked.

You have to cut him some slack Clay this is like his 7 or 8th start

In this system we have right now. Most will yes, he still didnt run for 100 yards though. Someone else in this system thats shiftier and faster may be averaging more yards becuase we are in the spread offense. Hell, even the announcers were talking about us needing a different kind of running back for the spread offense.

His last drive was bad. We really shouldn't have even had a chance at a field goal. But he's still learning. A lot of really good QBs have done equally stupid stuff early in their careers.

He should totally have the reigns next season IMO. This loss has more to do with LJ not being able to pick up a yard on 3rd and short and our defense giving up 14 points in the last 80 seconds of the game...

When he plays so well in the first half and then shits the bed in the second half, there's something wrong. There's no reason I shouldn't expect him to play at least halfway decent in the second half. 30 yards passing is unacceptable.

Weak minds?

Hilarious.

You keep backing up your bullshit arguments with complete and utter nonsense.

When you keep doing that, I'll keep pointing out how much of a complete reerun you are.

he had only 7 carries the whole game on his last 63 yard run.

Playcalling? It seems the Chiefs went into the Herm Shell.

I am willing to admit we really struggle in the 3rd quarter and I have no idea why but I don't put that all on Thigpen.

He's a basically a ****ing rookie making his 7th start of his career.

he has a job? I thought he wrote for WPI.

I just checked NFL.com for some "stats". There are a ton of runningbacks over the 4.5 yards per carry. Some in the 5.0 range. Hell even Jamal Charles is at 5.7. hah

Why?

Its' what most of CP wants to hear these days.

He's an icon. An Idol.

He posts animated jpegs...

People want him to be Steve Young already. hell, even took someone like Steve Young a few years before he was the player he was.

Yep. He is still better than either Croyle or Huard who struggle the whole game

If we had Croyle /Huard still qb'ing this team, we would be sitting at about 12 points per game.

the bulk of that came from his one fluke game against denver...

stats are for losers?? whatever the **** that means...

I'm going to start considering the source.

He's 26. With no job. No girlfriend. Never been laid.

He means stats are not everything when evaluating someone. Especially someone whos' playing the hardest position on the field and hasnt even played a full 16 games at that spot.

Yea hes hit Bradley in previous games but only because Bradley gets himself so wide open. Not many of those were very hard throws to make. He's still underthrown a lot of deep balls this year whether they were catches or not.

claythan makes me hate larry johnson, this forum, and the team

All these debates about Thigpen are stupid unless you factor in that he could easily be 6-2 since we went to the spread if we had even an average defense.

With the Ravens defense he'd be 8-0.

Claythan is right when it comes to the second half..... It seems he plays a good first half and then does nothing the last 2 quarters..... He is a good scrambler but he doesn't make any throws you want your QB to make. It is always a short easy pass to Gonzo or Bowe. That redzone INT is inexcusable...

I can't believe the Chiefs choked this game away.:cuss:

The thing is our passes are called to be short and quick. He made some bad choices, but you will get that with a guy who's not even started a full season in the NFL. That is to be expected.

you mean when the ball was tipped at the line and again by a LB was Thigy's fault? WOW! I would think the linemen blocking would of had something to do with that?

And heaven forbid the kid who has only played 10 games in the NFL goes to a HOF TE as a security blanket. I mean that is ****ing stupid right?

There were 4 guys around gonzo when he threw the ball. Could have been picked off even if it wasn't tipped. Flat out a terrible decision.

I like thiggy but he relies way too much on Gonzalez....but that said we havent had any QB here in awhile remotely move this offense. The kid is going to get better, atleast he should...

I also think we need to take a hard look at another QB in the draft too

We have to absolutely draft another qb, but when do you do it? IMO we cant do it in the first round. Not right now. Not with Herm here. Stafford is out of the picture, that shit isnt going to happen for the Chiefs. So who after that?

K, you are the 3rd string QB and all the sudden, 6 games into the season you find yourself as the starter. Would you not go to a HOF TE a lot too for the season? I agree with you, but I think people bag on him going to TG too much. I don't think there is such a thing.

There are other WR's out there, he does throw in triple coverage sometimes too him. Yes a young QB relies on a TE, esp a HOF'er to be....

He'll learn but is the spread our future?? not sure if we can win with it

Dude. Thigpen is in his second year in the NFL and cannot do a 3 step drop, he never goes downfield, he only goes for his first read and then scrambles.... He has a long way to go because that offense is the most predictable offense in the league. I don't think you can open the playbook up with Thigpen.

thigpen, for all intensive purposes is playing his first season. Secondly, I don't care what offense he runs if it works.

Are you serious, he has a long way to go? A kid playing for the first time in the NFL has a long way to go? I would never of thunk such non-sense.

If our offense is so predictable, how come we don't go 3 and out 6 times in a row ever game anymore? How come LJ is rushing for more yards in this O than when we ran a more traditional?

As far as the "spread" goes, you will probably see more and more teams in the NFL go to it. And let's give the kid a full season as the starter from day 1 like the other guys were before we start saying what he cannot do.

Thigpen is a long way from being the answer at QB for the Chiefs, but to lay the blame for this loss on anyone but Herman ****ing Edwards and Chan Gailey is stupidity at it's highest (lowest?) level.

"intensive purposes"?

You, my friend, are a ****ing reerun. If you had half a brain, you would realize the defense lost this game.

Rep!

I really wonder how much of the 2nd half woes are Chan. I bet that Herm gives Chan free reign in the 1st half then takes over in the 2nd.

Never goes downfield? Did you watch the KC/Den game last week? :spock:

You may well be right.

In fact I believe this to be true, but we only have our belief to do on.

Unless, and until, we get solid evidence to support that belief, they both get the blame.

I'm watching this Baltimore game, and the Ravens have a 6 point lead, with about 6 mins remaining with a rookie QB, and they just took a shot downfield.

They aren't sitting on the lead.
They are attacking.

The Ravens coach is unbelievable how he turned them around. He lets his coordinators coordinate. They play ****ing filthy defense, they fixed their O-line, they have a rookie QB and they are going to be 10-4.

That is what rebuilding looks like.

THe d lost it in the end...but we saw the best d for 3 quarters for the first time in a long time. It would have been nice for the o to get some first downs and score at least a field goal in the second half.

I'll bet Herm is orgasmic over this field goal fest.

I'll take Thigpen right now over Trent Green at the peak of his career.

ROFL

I dont about this game but Clayton is finally right on something. Thigpen isnt our QB of the future.

I agree Thigpen made a bad decision at the end of the game. But to say he isnt good enough is crazy. This guy always has us in the game to the end. He is exciting and can scramble.

I believe that Larry Johnson is the weak link on offense. If Jamal Charles was getting Larry carries we would be winning more. If Kolby Smith would not have gotten hurt, who knows.

I am so tired of Larrys no move, pause, drag your leg and go everytime we need a big play. Larry can make one or 2 big plays every now and then, but if it is really needed, he fails almost every time.

I would love to unload this guy and his baggage and move on.
