I've been following Nick Wright on twitter all morning. He thinks what Winston said was wrong. and he made a couple of very good points earlier.

It's not like the fans KNEW Cassel was down due to a concussion. We just saw him laying there, and knew that would be the only way we would make a switch because at that point we were forced to make the switch. Chiefs fans were applauding the potential end of the Cassel era. Not the fact that he was physically injured. Fans would have applauded louder if the switch had come in a completely healthy fashion.

Instead, it had to come this way. Look at the situation first.

Great work, Mr. gochiefs_va. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

A cumulative effort will have effect. That's why we need each and every Planeteer to tweet their ass off.

Nobody in the media is going to watch the ****ing video, because if they did, there would be no story. Instead, ESPN is going to continue to be ****ing reeruned about it by choice because people will tune in for it.

Look at Winston... First guy to leave the "huddle" when Cassel gets up to walk to the sideline. Classless bitch.

I'm guessing the latter, but regardless it was bad form.

Charles had busted a nice run, and fans were cheering that play, as the video displayed. There was a delayed reaction to Cassel, as he was way behind the play and initially, he started to raise up as if he was going to drag himself to his feet. As he went back down and people brought their attention from Charles to Cassel, there was additional cheering. There's no doubt that happened. There is a cut in the video that excludes it. The vast majority of fans applauded when he was able to get to his feet and walk to the sidelines.

IMO, Winston went overboard. He shouldn't have called out all fans, even if he tried to correct himself later in the rant. That said, I understand why he was fired up about it.


Yep. It is so weird to me that some are trying to spin this otherwise. There was absolutely a noticeable applause when Cassel couldn't get up.

Well that, and people in the media would probably realize that there is a cut out of the middle of the video that is what this entire thing is all about.

The thing is, Winston is getting all the headlines, but Charles and Ngata also took shots at the fans. It definitely happened. Several on this board have even admitted to cheering him being down. I'm sure there was a large contingency who didn't even realize why everyone was cheering all of a sudden at a weird time.

No, I'm saying he could fall into the group of people who didn't realize why people were cheering when they were. I was about 20 rows up in the lower level and people all around me were cheering because Cassel was down. Again, I don't blame them, but it definitely happened. And this would be a story no matter what stadium it happened in.

Cassel has been such a ****ing enigma to this franchise that people weren't going to stop cheering because he was hurt, if that was even the reason.

Pass complete to Charles, fans start cheering and cheer when first down is announced.

People get up, and Cassel doesn't. Winston and others motion for trainers. Crowd cheers very loudly.

It takes a couple minutes and the cheering dies down.

Quinn enters as Cassel is walking off and there is a lot of cheering.

There is no question some people cheered the injury; I've seen too many people cop to it with pride.

I'm more interested in despite several reports to the contrary on the local news level, all I'm hearing at the nat'l level is "Those terrible KC fans".

They have already turned it on all of the fans.

Not every single person in the stadium was cheering, no. The person who shot the video must have been one of those people. He must have taken the time to edit the video too to remove the block of time, so he probably wasn't cheering then either.

I don't think anyone is arguing that there are people ****ing stupid enough to do it. But a few people don't equal out to an entire crowd or the mythical 65,000 to 70,000 people that Jaws claims were doing it.

If we're going to use a few morons to represent an entire fan base, than every ****ing fan base is bad.

I really don't understand it. ChiefsCountry was there and even equated it to being equal to when Arrowhead was rocking in the 90s when Cassel was down. I don't think there was any question at all, which is why it is so hard for me to understand how anyone could say otherwise.

And again, even though Winston is the only person getting play, there were other players who noticed it and spoke up as well.

I've watched the video again. Assuming that you are correct and that a brief section was deleted and that was the part where Cassel begins to rise, then lays back down. Quinn can be seen both before and after the 12 second mark beginning to warm up. Reason and opportunity enough, had I been there, to express my joy at seeing another quarterback loosen up and begin to cheer Quinn on.

There was absolutely, 100% a group of fans that cheered when they realized Cassel was down. People around me were talking about it, and as I said, I actually used it as an opportunity to talk to my kid about it. And no, it wasn't close to the entire fan base. I'd guess most didn't cheer at all. And I also don't think they were cheering that he was hurt so much as cheering that it meant he would be out and the backup in.

Because, it was a really close game (FOR ****ING ONCE, AT HOME! :D ), we just made a key conversion to a 1st down, and the crowd was REALLY into it. I don't think Cassel's injury had much to do with the emotion at the time, but that's my perception obviously, and not your's.

Of course you can. The part that was edited out was the part where the crowd cheered when Cassel couldn't get up. I have already stated that he was down for 2 minutes or whatever and that the crowd quit cheering as loudly at some point. The video just cuts from the crowd cheering for the play to when Cassel had been down for a bit. It skips over the reaction to the injury. It isn't that hard to understand.

That crowd wasn't going to stop cheering for an injured Cassel.

Once again, that crowd as a whole or a majority of the crowd was not cheering. Nobody is saying all of the mythical 65,000 to 70,000 people there were not doing it, but it wasn't significant chunks or anything high enough to throw an entire fan base under the ****ing bus.

Yup. Nobody gives a **** if he corrects his claims on Twitter. In the audio tape that is being played he ****ing lies through his teeth claiming that the stadium let out some enormous roar from 70K at the sight of Cassel on the ground. THAT is what the media is driving into the ground.

Ummm...just watched the clip in that article. After the initial cheer for the first down, the cheering decreases significantly. Once everyone realizes Cassel is hurt, it's pretty quiet...relatively anyway with 70,000 people packed in a stadium. People hear what they want to hear, I guess.

I always correct them and they continue their stupidity the next time we discuss sports again.

I was wearing my KU hat and one of my millions of Chiefs shirts last week at the grocery store and this dude in line in front of me goes, "Did the Chiefs change their colors?" I just laughed and he looked at me weird. There's some dumb mother ****ers in this world.

Eh, I don't attribute so much to "Dumb", just unaware. And seriously, it IT confusing to anyone that's never been to Kansas City as to why the Chiefs don't play in Kansas. I mean, it says it right there in the name: Kansas City Chiefs.

If the Rams played in St. Louis, Illinois, it would be just as confusing to people.

The irony of these "journalists" who never played in the NFL now taking the players sides and sermonizing about their humanity is laugh out loud funny. Journalists have sold out players and coaches a thousand times worse and more often without giving one thought to their families, children, etc. And all to write the column that gets them promoted or gets more views on the net.

so in romeo's presser he said, when asked why they ran so much, "would you rather lose 40-10?"


he basically said we had no chance of winning if we relied on our QB

Eric Winston was right. Real question is WHY fans are like that. My take: http://bit.ly/SYhhD1

SMH...Degrading the fanbase and basically calling us stupid by saying we're brainwashed by sports radio & fantasy football & a bunch of other shit and that we're incapable of making up our own minds. What a dipshit.

Holy ****. This dumbass actually blames video games and fantasy football. That's what's wrong with fans today, according to this ****ing idiot...

Quote:

Let's start with video games. The proliferation of popular video games like the Madden franchise has only served to increase the disconnect that some fans have in terms of realizing that these professional football players are, in fact, human beings themselves. Because everything else in video games like Call of Duty and Grant Theft Auto is make believe and fictitious I think sometimes there are fans that almost forget that the players are real and not just characters in some video game they play.

Then there's fantasy football. Like video games, fantasy football has been a huge boon for the business of the NFL and, in turn, NFL players. Like video games, however, fantasy football has contributed to the propensity of fans who think of and thus treat NFL players like commodities. If you draft and trade and drop players on your fantasy team enough you really do begin to think of them in that way. Ultimately they just become numbers whether that is the jersey they wear or the statistics they generate. The human element is gone.

Someone should ask him why we don't make the f'ing change then? Maybe Pioli has Crennel's hands tied or something? It makes no sense. Any other team would've benched him by now.

What kills me is the media acting like the fanbase are all menopausel, on the rag and mean.
Tape proves we were not cheering for an injured Cassel.
We are just plain wore out from this inept franchise leadership top to bottom.

That made me laugh. JFC Romeo is a disaster. He is pimping how great it was to lose by 3. Would I rather lose 40-10? No I would rather win you idiot.

No shit. This guy has been here what 4 months? 3 different interviews he talks about dying early. It's like he's 2pac or something.

Not one question about Cassel's terrible play. Not one question about why he didn't consider replacing him before the injury. Not one question about whether or not he has the authority to pull Pioli's bastard.

The media in KC used to have balls and his name was Whitlock.

how ****ing hard is it to ask a simple question about the QB???

"Matt Cassel had a 38 QB rating yesterday, and is the lowest rated QB in the league, how long will that be acceptable?"

It's both. It's almost seems like he wants people to congratulate him for not getting blown out. It's a really odd how Crennel rationalizes his really terrible coaching job.

I turned it off after that. That told me all I need to know about how ****ed up this Franchise really is.
