Ten Things About Today's Game

10. This weekend has been a great time to live in Kansas City.
Glad you got a full smorgasbord of winning from all the KC teams this weekend.

6. Defensive effort was more like what we've been expecting earlier in the year. Hali had one of the best games of his career.
Finally he came out of the shadows. It also seemed that Jaye Howard, Allen Bailey, and a few other lineman kept sliding and falling down while rushing. I think I saw guys fall about 5-6 times, not as bad as the Packers game but our guys seem to have horrible footing too often.

5. Smith didn't play well in the first half, but played much better in the second half. His passing was erratic in the first half, but got more accurate as the day went on.
His accuracy is really poor and not sure if he warms up enough before game time as he overthrows and under throws all the freakin time.

4. The offensive line did a much better job today.
It's about damn time! :#

2. Andy called a better game today, especially with no Charles and no Maclin.
A lot less crappy behind the line bubble screens and jet sweeps to DAT. I liked how we passed a few times with completions and he mixed in some off tackle runs that really had great gaps for nice yardage.

Excellent write up! Thanks for posting this, I skipped the game this week and spent the day touring beautiful sites in Missouri instead. Fort Osage-did a photo shoot for my daughter, her boyfriend and their new puppy. Marshall-had a nice picnic on the square and took shots of the Jim the Wonder Dog park-very interesting story. We listened on the radio as the Chiefs kicked field goals and played liked the Chiefs most of the game.

We were taking a tour of the Bothwell Lodge State Park in Sedalia when my son checked the score and they ended up winning.

This was my favorite game of the year. Being outside and enjoying the amazing Missouri fall weather instead of watching the same ol' Chiefs.

I'm still pissed they didn't reverse that steeler TD. That ****stick Mike Carey said he thought it was a catch. Since when did only one foot inbounds after securing the ball considered a touchdown. ****ing inexcusable!

It was a TD....dipshit. He had his right foot down when he secured the ball and then got his left foot down.

Wrong dumbass the left foot was out of bounds. In the pros it has to be two feet inbounds. Maybe you didn't know that.

He bobbled and his right foot went out. Not a TD.

He gained control when his right foot was down.

Not enough to overturn it.

I've been to all the sites you mentioned. Bothwell Lodge is especially beautiful with the trees changing colors right now. Have you been to the Bothwell Hotel in Sedalia? It's an old school early 1900's hotel.

There was another thing I forgot to mention. Remember how in previous weeks Alex kept wandering down to the Defensive bench, sitting there all by himself sulking? None of that today. I don't know if he took it on himself, or if he had a come to Jesus meeting with Andy, but today in the second half especially, he was talking to his O-line and to his receivers and backs while the defense was on the field. They all seemed much more engaged, and it showed by producing TD drives in the second half. That's progress.
