People were cheering that Quinn grabbed a ball and went into the game... not that Cassel was injured.


People Cheered for CHANGE.

But the Cheaps started it. Look at the gameplan today and tell me that they haven't lost their minds

That's what I heard.

What was the final run/pass ratio?

I can't get mad at Winston for standing up for a teammate. What's he supposed to say?

11tybillion:1

Nothing.

Really? Most of the US didn't see the banner, but most of us heard about it. It was covered on the news, on forums & on National T.V.

Booing individual plays is plenty loud on T.V. The announcer repeatedly made mention of it. Week after week, it's loud and clear.

Social media doesn't work? Where were you 3 weeks ago?

And no, no one was asking why fans were booing "a Pro Bowl" QB, now you're just making shit up to be dramatic.

Every lame ass excuse in this thread is just that, a lame ass.

perfect

Damn yall cheered for Cassel going down?

Stay Classy Chief FANS :thumb:

This is what i thought was happening as well. I didn't hear fans cheer while he was on the ground.

I was cheering at home for the change. The truth is Cassel being hurt isn't what we want. We want a clear, clear image of him being taken out for playing poorly.

I don't blame Winston for defending a teammate. I don't blame fans for cheering when the back-up quarterback put on his helmet and started throwing a few balls either. And that is pretty much what happened.If they pulled his ass when they should have, then none of those things would have happened.

Not the point. I don't care if the argument is people cheering for Quinn to start and it happens to look like they're booing Cassel's injury.

Situational awareness. It's necessary to have, and thinking that it's okay to even be in a position to look like you're cheering for a players injury.

No for real, what was it?

This. What, we should be the Cubs of the NFL???

Perhaps we should transfer to the Sarcastiball league so where our player hug and every well behaved fan gets a marshmallow.

LMAO

That might be real.

This is a top 5 line this year, so I don't know why you are crying about it.

Eric Winston can yap all he wants. He false starts like mf'er and is lucky to have a job in this league. Fortunately for him, he an NFLPA player rep so he can hang on a little longer.

I couldn't tell what was happening because they were showing a replay on TV but I could hear it. I assumed the big cheer was for Cassel walking off the field. The announcers said they were cheering for Brady Quinn.

Also, didn't Winston's guy put the hit on Cassel? Maybe he should worry less about the fan's reaction and worry more about earning his $22 million.

But if he does say something I'd rather it be in support of one of his teammates.

Mmmkay...Because Philly fans and Jets fans NEVER get called out for acting like idiots and being trashy, right? I mean, that's not what they're known for AT ALL? :rolleyes:

50 rushes to 18 passes.


5:2 Ratio

I cheered louder when I heard about your bathtub accident, douche.

Riiiiiight LMAO You guys are a riot sometimes

I have never said anything like that but I was happy today when he went out. But I am still a fan. We fans deserve better.

LMAO:)

:doh!:

Cassel hasn't ever started a full 16 game season if he's not cleared for the next game which is a big strike on his durability issue.

I doubt the fans were cheering the injury itself. They were cheering the fact that shithead would FINALLY be pulled from the game.

If Winston cared so much about Cassell then he should be pissed at Peeoli for allowing Cassell to stay our QB for so long.


They should get the hint by now Cassell nor Pioli are not liked around here. Get the hint to get the **** out. Cassell should have ask to be traded that this fan base has booed him at a summers baseball game.

50 rushes vs 18 passes. Cassel 9-15 for 92 yards and a pair of INT's. Quinn 3-3 for 32 yards. 214 rushing yards. Two hundred and ****ing fourteen rushing yards and we lost. Only Matt Cassel can do that.

You could look at it as cheering that Cassel was hurt or cheering for the fact that we had a chance to see Brady Quinn. What do you expect a fanbase who has been calling for Cassel to take a seat, to really do in that instance? I didn't cheer that he was injured but I sure was ****ing excited that Quinn would at least get some snaps.

LMAO Wow.

What is with everyone on this team having butterfingers? It's not just PeeWee either, the backs are losing the ball like they are carrying a greased pig.

I think this is what actually occured and Winston misinterpreted it.

Pretty much.

I was VERY happy to see Quinn out there. I didn't know/care what happened to Cassel, but if I had seen him get hurt I still would have been VERY happy to see Quinn out there.

Other then the damage Cassel has done to this season, I don't care one way or the other what happens to him as long as he never takes the field again for the Chiefs...

I didn't hear the cheering, but the fans weren't cheering Cassel's injury so much as they were cheering for Quinn right?

That's my point. Put Cassel in those markets and he'd need an armored car to get home. We cheer when he leaves the field FINALLY and we're classless.

I sooo feel for Cassel. Maybe he can make a papier-mache head-cast out of $1000 dollar bills while Pioli eats caviar from his asshole. They can do whatever, just do it on the sideline.

I wonder what Winston was saying about Cassel after he fumbled the ball at the 1. He sure didn't look happy on the bench.

You didn't even mention Matty's fumbled snap on the 1.

Winston overracting??


@mellinger
OK, not bad. Clapped for Cassel getting up, CHEERED Quinn coming in.

@mellinger
All I heard was the same kind of applause you typically hear when an injured player gets up. But Winston was much closer to it than I

the banner, cassel's embarrassing performance, and crennel's pride in losing, will be lost to a week's worth of this stupid discussion...


pioli is laughing somewhere

Thats just wrong man LMAO

They just mentioned this on 810. And explained that Winston felt he heard 70k cheering a guy who may be hurt.

Winston can eat a bag of dicks.

I didn't hear much cheering until Quinn came on the field.

If they cheered Cassel's injury, that isn't cool. If they cheered when Quinn got on the field, excellent.

I appreciate that Mellinger is a media guy critical of the Chiefs.

But I don't want the hatred to be transparent where we apologize for this kind of stuff.

Look, I clapped when I saw Quinn enter the game. I'm not proud that I did that. And I never do that. Let's not massage this into something it was not. Yes, we were cheering that Cassel was out of the game. Period. Yes, that was unclassy. Yes, a lot of that was based on frustration built up from an ownership that has made this situation so stubbornly bad for the Chiefs that we would resort to cheering for something like this. And yes, that is a sad state for the Chiefs when they turn a classy fan base into what we saw today.

No one gives a shit what a RT thinks. **** him.

Atleast you are truthful

winston was grand standing....

He knows who's paying his salary, that's for sure.

I don't think fans should ever cheer the injury of a player.

I didn't cheer when Cassel was hurt. I did cheer that it was finally time to put in another QB.

If Crennel gave a shit about winning, Cassel wouldn't have been playing the 2nd half anyway.

Winston has been here 5 games. The Chiefs are 1-4 with him at RT and he looked the past 2 games like he was giving free shots on #7.

**** him right in his fat ass.

Exactly. Go win a ****ing game. Oh wait, Hermie-O said we DID win. I forgot we got a complimentary win today where everybody contributed to a Hermie-O moral loss.

Once things cool off in a few days, ill bet Winston apoligizes to fans.

Like i said earlier, he hasnt been in KC long enough, doesnt understand the history of where the frustrastion comes from for the average chiefs fan.

I think you could make the argument that the fans were cheering more for the fact a new quarterback was finally about to take the field than for Cassel being hurt. I kind of groaned when I heard the cheers but I totally understand.

This.

He needs to get his ears checked too. No way were there 70,000 folks there

9/15, 92 YDS, 2 INT

Romeo should have pulled him and atleast tried to spark a comeback

The offensive line just mauled the Baltimore Ravens about as bad as anyone has mauled them in 15 years, at least before they figured out we were going to run every single down. I can't believe anyone is ripping on their performance.

When the team gives you no other option, you take what you can. Any other organization would have replaced Cassel by now. The only way to get a reprieve is injury.

I hope he heals quickly and starts the rest of the season. I want nothing to do with Pioli and Romeo et al.

Fine, let's say that fans were cheering the injury; this would be more about Scott Pioli than it would be the fans anyway.

He's the reason we have a QB so inept that he finds ways to lose when he's barely involved in the game plan.

I'm just pissed that Winston is holding the fans accountable and not his QB.

I wanted Cassel to get back up. Check the game thread.


We need him in to truely complete this bag of failure.

Winston can kiss my ass. Maybe if he and his boys can manage to stay onside, it wouldn't be so hard to convert third downs.

Nobody is going to throw their teammate under the bus. It's just not how it works. Unless you're Terrell Owens.

We put absolutely the least amount of pressure on our qb to win a football game as you can today



And he still managed to lose it.


Yeah let's not get upset at all

What exactly is Cassel's injury anyways? It kind of looked like a Harvey Williams injury to me.

Yea, I'm aware. And my reaction to his reaction is : **** you, Winston. Try not to false start you ****ing goon.

Broken Vagina

It doesn't matter if they deserve it or not. Good people are classy regardless. Classy people don't cheer when a hated opponent gets hurt, and they don't cheer when one of their own gets hurt even if he sucks and even if the organization sucks.

Chiefs’ Winston criticizes fans who cheered when Cassel was hurt
By RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star
Chiefs offensive tackle Eric Winston chose his words carefully but ripped the fans who cheered when quarterback Matt Cassel suffered a head injury in the fourth quarter and was removed from Sunday’s 9-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

“We are athletes. We are not gladiators,” Winston said. “This isn’t the Roman Coliseum. People pay their hard-earned money to come in here. I believe they can boo, they can cheer, they can do whatever they want … we’re lucky to play this game. It’s hard economic times, and they still pay the money to go to these.

“There are long-lasting ramifications to the game we play … I’ve come to the understanding I won’t live as long because I play this game. That’s OK.

“But when you cheer somebody getting knocked out, I don’t care who it is, and just so happened to be Matt Cassel, it’s 100 percent sickening. I’ve been in some rough times on some rough teams, I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life to play football, than at that moment right there.

“I get emotional about it because these guys work their butts off. Matt Cassel hasn’t done anything to you people … hasn’t done anything to the media writers who kill him, hasn’t done anything wrong to the people who come out here and cheer him. If he’s not the best quarterback, he’s not the best quarterback, and that’s OK.

“But he’s a person. And he got knocked out in a game, and we got 70,000 people cheering. Boo him all you want. Boo me all you want. Throw me under the bus. Tell me I’m doing a bad job, say I’ve got to protect him more … but if you’re one of those people who were out there cheering, or even smiled, when he got knocked out, I just want everyone to know it’s sickening and disgusting.

“Don’t blame a guy and don’t cheer for a guy (when injured) who has done everything in his power to play as good as he can for the fans. It’s sickening. I want every fan to know it. We have a lot of problems as a society if people think that’s okay.”

Winston said in the seven years he’s played in the NFL, it’s the first time he’s seen a quarterback cheered when injured at home.

“And I’ve been on some bad teams and in some tough situations,” he said. “I know the fans are frustrated. We’re frustrated. And I understand the backup quarterback is sometimes the most popular guy on the team. I get it. But it’s not OK.”

Winston said he spoke with Cassel after the game but did not want to comment on Cassel’s condition.

“We had a private conversation … “ Winston said. “ I asked, ‘How are you feeling?’ I said some words to him, and that was it.”

Cassel is not and has never been "one of our own."

He's Pioli's son--no kin to me.

I felt the same way. People that cheered his injury are morons. Especially since the guy wasn't moving for a min, it could've been really serious. I even cheered for him when he got up, after booing him all day prior to that.

Did his head take a ground shot? The 1st part of the clip doesn't even look like he took a head shot.

Please.......

Looks like he flopped to me

If he’s not the best quarterback, he’s not the best quarterback, and that’s OK.

No it's not ****ing ok asshole. It's not ok and that is the issue!

Hard to disagree with that.

I could not care any less that somebody cheered his injury. I don't want a classy fan base. That shit is overrated. I want a fanbase that has cares about winning.

Today, the fans showed they cared. Now it's time for the franchise to act like they care.

Or at the very least, try to not call an impromptu presser calling out the fans that are funding your participation in record setting suckage!
