Smart use of time.

I've taken two periods off as well.

Good Lord almighty, some of you guys take this place waaaay too seriously

Alex Smith did not throw 2 TDs to Vernon Davis. He did not make plays.

Don't pretend Eli was a difference of Alex. Eli dropped back 60 times.

There is usually the what ifs where 1 play could change the outcome.

Eli's typical INT or 2 didn't happen. Because 1 was caught on the sideline out of bounds and 1 was 49ers slamming into each other both going for the catch. The strip fumble of Bradshaw was blown dead.

This schedule fits us quite well actually. We have played well in the first half of the season under Andy. It's the 2nd half that we've had issues with.

Playing a lot of home games in the last 2 months should help turn that around this season.

And that is a huge problem...

That's a good point.

Eli Manning made 2 or 3 big plays when the Giants had to have them.
Alex Smith didn't.

"Clutch" is where you retreat to when you have no basis for what you are saying

Or when you want to compare actual accomplishments with abstract numbers and statistics...

What plays? Eli had 17 yards passing in 2 drives in overtime of that game.

It's ALL just ****ing hope, dude.

Our reasoning for being a little more optimistic about this chiefs team is perfectly reasonable-- Dorsey addressed large holes on this team.

Saying that the only reason we have for predicting more success this year is "hope" is a ****ing worthless statement

This isn't a team that stood pat, the biggest weakness on the team was the offensive line and that got a major renovation. It's not blind homerism to expect the team to take a step forward, and they finished 9-7, so a 10-11-12 win season really isn't crazy.

I know 1 thing that's starting to piss me off a little.

Reading about how Andy Reid is gonna continue to shuffle the OL to try and find the best 5 guys, through camp.

Minicamp? Ok, I can see it.
OTAs? This is when you should have your starting 5 pretty well set

If they are going to expect the line to be improved, they BETTER set that starting 5 right away and let them work as a unit leading to the season opener.

The OL isn't always about the best 5 guys, it's about how well they perform as a cohesive unit.

If they think they can shuffle the line through camp and then just show up in Houston and block at a high level, it's gonna wreck the first few weeks of the season.

We simply cannot afford that.

You have to see who has improved, gotten healthy, and who has the best chemistry playing together. I have no problem with this all the way up to the 3rd Pre-season game, but he needs to have figured it out by then and have that unit play deep into the 3rd 1/4. I'm actually in favor of this. Give everyone a chance to earn those spots.

**** all of that.

The front 7s we face to start the year have very talented pass rushers that get paid millions to expose lines that aren't cohesive units. It takes more than just a couple quarters in a preseason game for the line to develop a bond. I feel the way they are shifting guys around to different positions and not setting the starting 5 and letting them gel is gonna hurt us in the first few games when we are gonna need to score points in bunches to win.

0-4 out of the gate

season over

all shall love me and despair

LMAO

How many times has OTWP left forever so far?

Then just ****ing admit that's all it is and shut the **** up.

Don't ****ing tell me that evidence shows that we are going to be better.

Eric Kush is so ****ing good he couldn't replace McGlynn on the line.
Jeff Allen has two craptastic seasons of play.
Donald Stepenson's only consistency has been his incontistency.

There's your ****ing evidence.

For all intents and purposes, the Donks are going to be a good team in 2015 because they've still got Peyton, and their new coach isn't Romeo Crennel. He might even be able to transition them into a more balanced offense that isn't so dependent on Peyton's arm to win games.

They'll be a good team... unless they aren't. And there's no way to prove that the changes they've made are going to work out. Their only reason for predicted success is hope.

The Patriots still have Brady and Gronk but lost some personnel in the offseason. There's no way to prove that they'll continue to be a good team. Their only reason for predicted success is hope.

It's the same ****ing thing across the board with all teams. So all we can do is look at the improvements each team made.

The Chiefs brought in a LOT of new personnel along the offensive line, which includes a mixture of veterans, a rookie, and last year's crew returning from injury. They lost ONE guy, and that makes you unwilling to say the Chiefs SHOULD improve in 2015 because it's just "hope"

See what I mean? It's a worthless ****ing take on your part. I know you're usually proud to be the asshole on the board, but on this one you're taking on the role of the dumbass. Sorry. Happens to the best of us from time to time.

No you ****ing moron, the Chiefs did not bring in a LOT of new personnel on the line.

They brought in Grubbs and Fanaika.

The rest are are all people that have failed as Chiefs to this point.

And no, proven teams aren't ****ing hopeful.

They are ****ing proven, you ****ing useless ****ing piece of shit dumb****.

Which positions did Mitch Morse and Derrick Sherrod play for the Chiefs last year?

LMAO

It feels like Christmas here.

Solid Gold Dancer. He was backing Marylin McCoo.

Oh, Alex Smith did what during that one game 4 years ago on a different team?

That changes everything.

While you continue to have your period about Kush, you're also completely ignoring the rest of the team, which went 9-7 with the burning shithole it had at OL.

We have no proof that the Chiefs barring injury an improved team... except that it's basically the same ****ing team we had last year minus a grapefruit-sized tumor named McGlynn. And because you don't know about Kush, it's somehow "hopeful" that he won't be McGlynn when in reality there are FEW starting OL that ever play as shitty as he did?

And I'm not talking about the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl or even winning a goddamn playoff game. I'm just talking about improving as a team. THAT'S ****ING IT.

Sounds like a good gig

is it august yet

LMAO

The only people that "leave" just do it. Are you looking for that gold watch as you mozy off into the sunset?

Forgive me.
I missed a brokedick and a draft pick.

Big ****ing deal.

I'm ignoring the rest of the team, because the only ****ing thing that matters is protection.

This team will improve if Alex Smith has time.

It will continue to be just the mediocre team it has been until then.

LMAO

And super sneeky sleeper pickup Paul Fanaika mother ****ers!

It's attention whoring, crybaby BS.

And we are going to suffer worse if one or more of the 5 they pick, with no playing time to give them any idea of how they will perform, turn out to be total shit birds.
So if they don't do it during training camp and PS they are going to be doing it during the first few weeks of the season. How is that a good thing?
It's not. It's going to set us back....weeks. You gotta find out who fits and plays the best, where, with the 1's, before the season starts...not after.

Kush, Morse, Allen, Stephenson, Fanaika, etc.... You are going to have to shuffle these guys around before the season starts to find out which ones are worth a shit, and where.
Not stick them somewhere and hope they figure it out, while the guy who should be playing that spot has been running with the 2's.

Fact is, I nor anyone else has a factual argument to refute this... there are plenty of question marks to go around on a few units.

You're taking the wait and see approach, which is really the only way to go for those units considering what we know... but a few of us are willing to bank on improvement from this coaching staff when they're given better depth and overall talent to work with.

The argument basically boils down to... the talent on paper is there, does this coaching staff/overall team atmosphere have enough juice to make them quickly gel?

My belief is yes, yes they do... so many things are RIGHT with this club these days that I have to believe... when you have the right leadership and momentum, weaker units will perform above expectation because a certain standard has been been set.

No one thought denvers backs were any good, but the expectations and overall coaching/team helped them perform far beyond their talent level.

LMAO what its in reference to hardly matters... MAN I miss those old Looney Tunes.

Chalk up another win for the butthurt pc crowd... "black ducks that make fun of people by tap dancing to their garbage is an absolute micro-aggression!".

Can anything stop the pussification of America? God, I hope so.

NO.

Nothing can stop it, we're on the verge of some kind of mini-civil war.

NFL Wolf Shirts.

We poole our money, and launch this bitch right to the stratosphere!

Licensing. Dollars.

Great concept, 'cause you know that they'd sell like ****ing hot cakes, but you'd need Dane McCloud level money to make that big ass shit happen.

LMAO

beach tribe is awesome.

Don't blame you. I don't miss it. I stopped coming here for a few reasons:
1. Switched my internet use from laptop to all mobile device.
2. Apathy for the chiefs hit an all-time high.
3. My frustration coming here outweighed my fun and I knew it was time.

I still look in now and again but it's minutes per month instead hours.

****...

ROFL the ****?

Stirring the soup brotha...

During the current Chiefs golden era!?! Say it ain't so..

Hi!

so sad, miss you around here...

wish you the best tho...

I thought so. Me likey.

I don't quite understand people who do #1.

I ****ing hate writing e-mails on mobile devices.

Things are tense everywhere these days, the team is still working on a formula, and I'm not sure 40+ years won't be 60+ years by the time a SB win happens to drunk-stumble into our trophy case.

So I hope the break isn't long-lived...

The NFL might not be around in 20 years.

True. We know the NFL of 20 years ago isn't around today, but at this rate of change it's either going to be gone or we'll see this:

I get it. I sent you a PM, as a guy who butted heads with you for a while before I came around on Alex Smith, I get it.

I too have been scarce only really getting on here anymore to check the destiny thread. The other stuff is blah to me. Its the same ol circle jerk that it has been.

I wish you all the best bro.

ROFL

who are you?

I sort of feel the same way. My apathy is more toward the NFL in general. Partly because of age I think, and partly because the greed of the league. I still like CP for the most part, but it's gotten pretty bad as far as the drama around here. Topics like mod abuse, banning, perma banning, who should and shouldn't be punished, and what for, etc., are just plain annoying. I used to click on the majority of threads on the first page. Now, I might see one or two that look interesting. Sad

You'll be back. They'll be really good this year.

seems nice...

:hmmm: This thread has some burst.

:LOL: Is Clark gone as well? The history is consistent for longer than most on this board have been alive.
Did you see the movie "Draft Day?" I laughed when the Chiefs were the ones that called up wanting to trade for the Browns reject QB.
Even the movie industry recognizes a pattern set in stone.

Sorry, I can't get over the fact that somebody ONLY surfs the internet on mobile devices. That's just ****ing ridiculous to me.

Teens everywhere are confused by your post.

But I get it. I really do... I still print some longer emails just because it's better sometimes.

HurrDurr, Clark doesn't want to win, HurrDurr... Back to this nonsense

I do the same for the past few months

Me too. But only because my laptop finally broke and I can't justify buying a new one when my phone works just fine and I have access to a computer all day at work.

My computer was broke and the neighbor who's wifi I was using moved. Google Fiber won't install anything for a few months and I can't justify spending 100/mo on cable+internet.

I have been for the last 6 months. I can't stand it anymore. I'm getting a new laptop yesterday.

Answer my PM, you son of a bitch.

Get a better job Bro. Your pussy game will go up exponentially.

Don't do it snr, it's a trap

NO I WILL NOT HAVE SEX WITH YOU.

Good Lord. I'm just minding my own business, and all of a sudden I get this PM from Pestilence asking me to go pork him while his wife is away. I thought ignoring it would make him go away, but he kept prompting me. Can you ****ing believe this shit?

There used to be a time on CP when we didn't allow this kind of funny business!

I blame Flopnuts.

You should. I told him what a good porker you are. I thought he knew it just meant you could eat!

He was probably counting on that.....
