10. I was in the back yard this afternoon trying to dig a hole in frozen ground to bury one of our pets who passed away yesterday.
Sorry to hear that GB, didn't you lose another pet earlier this year? :deevee:
9. If you're going to lay a butt kicking on somebody, what could be better than laying it on the FADE? The weird thing is, this was a four point game deep into the third quarter. They basically just managed to play even with KC in the second and third quarter, but KC's fast start, and fourth quarter dominance was ultimately the difference.
It sure felt good to beat them up but boy that third quarter had me feeling we were going to blow it. They took all the momentum but that fantastic throw and great 70 yd run by Charles was the DAGGER! Smith and Charles played A+
8. Jamaal Charles had the kind of day that puts you into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
It's going to be hard to keep him out if he has another 2-3 years of this or more. :thumb:
7. You'd think the FADE had never seen a screen pass before. If there is something that is unsettling, it's that this game became a four point contest in the third quarter. Nice block by Junior Hemmingway to spring Charles too.
They were 20 feet away with 1-2 guys on each of those screens. They defended those screens as poorly as Washington did their special teams next week.
It's good to catch little nuggets of team play and notice a guy like Junior doing great stuff all the time. I really like him.
6. Was how bad KenDICK Lewis is. Not only does he have a pick six hit him square in the hands, and drops it, but then he goes all Dwayne Rudd and rips his helmet off on the playing field, which is a penalty. Raiders get a first down, Playing stupid is the hallmark of the FADE.Look for KenDICK Lewis to be elsewhere next season. Hell, he might make a good Raider!
As soon as Kendrick Lewis pulled that complete bonehead play, I was thinking of you GB and how you must have been screaming at your TV. I just don't get it with this guy and what Dorsey and Reid see in him. What the hell has he done POSITIVE? I can't find anything.....: :banghead:
5. Alex Smith was 17 for 20 for 287 and 5 TDs while spreading the ball to eight different guys. Nice TD by Duck Dynasty, and how about Knile Davis?
- Alex Smith is throwing the ball great in my mind and all the haters on this board like Clay can go suck it! Geno Smith is 10 steps below Alex. That throw to Jamaal was PERFECT!
- All Duck Dynasty does is catch the ball. I like him the best of all out TE's and he can improve his blocking with help
- Knile Davis is getting better and gaining more confidence each week and he could be a BEAST with Charles. What a tandem we have!
4. Defense: Well, it's a mixed bag. No sacks, But you can't argue with FIVE PICKS. How about Eric Berry? His open field ability is very good.
In reality the defense was closer to poor-we are hemorrhaging yards and giving up nearly 500 yards on a weekly basis. While our guys made some great reads and interceptions, we seem to keep relying on turnovers to pull our ass out of the fire. We scored 35 points off Oakland's TOs and that is never going to happen all the time or to that level. Our D needs to step up big time.
Eric Berry, Derrick Johnson, and Tamba Hali just do it week in and week out. They are the bedrock of our D and complete All Stars
3. Andy Reid may not be good at clock management, but the sucker is great at challenges.
Our team in the booth deserves a lot of credit. They assess things ASAP and tell Andy. I think he is 6 of 7 or 7 of 8 on challenges this year.
2. If we're going to look for things to bitch about special teams had kind of a bad day. Succop kicked off out of bounds early on. Taub got punked on a fake punt which shouldn't have happened, good call by the Raiders. Colquitt was OK, and special teams did force one fumble on the Reid challenge. Another problem was penalties.
- Our returns and coverage were pretty good and I think someone missed their assignment on that fake punt because their was NO ONE out against the gunners on either side. I don't think Taub was trying to block the punt but maybe I am wrong.
- Succop has kicked out of bounds about three times in the last few months and not sure what is wrong with him. He isn't getting enough FG attempts and I hope that doesn';t come back to bite us in their ass during the playoffs.
- We have had an AWFUL season with penalties and it continued yesterday. They seem to keep coming at the worst times, like 3rd and 15 to continue drives for opponents or after we pick up a vital first down to kill our drive. Got to clean those up fast!
1. The Chiefs are in the playoffs. It's not out of the realm of possibility that we win the division, but I don't see the Donks losing to this bunch of silver and black losers, or to Houston. Finally, I'm going to put this game on DVD and enjoy it for a long time.
- Hard to believe we are one year removed from last's years ClusterF*** and stand at 11-3 going to the playoffs. Imagine if we win out and Denver did lose a game, we would be the #1 SEED! I don't see Denver losing to either team but both are road games.
- That DVD is just like porn! You can enjoy it over and over again! :D
