5 things to keep in mind during tonight’s preseason game

DAVID EULITT | THE KANSAS CITY STAR

Are things really as bad as they looked last week?

Herm Edwards says no. After five years with the Jets, he’s discovered that there generally is no correlation between a winning preseason and a successful regular season. But Edwards understands how fans might panic after being shut out at New York, and he came close to promising that the Chiefs will look considerably better tonight. “I don’t panic,” he said. “I’ve done this for too long. If we weren’t practicing well and we weren’t doing the things that I see in practice, I’d be a little bit concerned.”

How much can Tamba Hali help?

Depends on how vanilla Edwards keeps the defense. The Chiefs played just two coverages against Houston and played one coverage 80 percent against the Giants. First-round pick Hali could finally help Kansas City put some heat on the quarterback, something that has been virtually nonexistent so far.

Will the real Chiefs offense please stand up?

After two preseason games, Edwards still hasn’t seen the high-flying offense that finished first in the NFL in 2004 and 2005. The first unit has accounted for just one touchdown, and the only thing that has really impressed Edwards was a 13-play, 71-yard touchdown drive in the first game against the Texans. With left guard Brian Waters back, and the starters playing longer, maybe things will change tonight.

Is everybody being too hard on Ryan Sims?

The former first-round draft pick had an animated conversation with Edwards this week after practice. Sims wanted to know where he stood, and he hopes it’s not with both feet pressed against the sideline. For at least two preseasons, Sims has believed that he’s ready to prove his detractors wrong. Tonight could be his first step.

Is Brodie Croyle the Chiefs’ QB of the future?

You won’t find that out tonight, but maybe the third-round pick from Alabama can do something that a backup quarterback in Kansas City hasn’t done in a while: successfully move the chains. This is Croyle’s first taste of the NFL after a shoulder injury in camp, and it will be interesting to see how he handles it.

Starts at 7:30 on CBS

REPOST!

Sorry GoChiefs but it was such a good post that I thought it would be good for the game thread....

I think we will win this one. Too much pressure from fans and media weighing in. The players and coaches will have a bit more intensity tonight than they have so far this preseason.

Thank God Halfcan didn't start this thread.

I honestly couldn't be more apathetic.

Regular season, please.

Yeah, god forbid we want to see our team do well whether it is a loss or a win. I don't put any stock into preseason games but I still want to see good football. Something we haven't for 2 weeks now.

my question for Herm would be this...


if our lines are the problem, then wouldn't that problem be completely covered up during practice by the fact that they are facing each other?

You forgot the **** ******

on the title.


Were DOOMED

I probably won't be able to see the game until Monday evening. NFL network is showing it at Midnight Sunday (or would that be Monday?). I've got the Tivo set to record it, as I won't stay up until 3 to watch a pre-recored game.

Pussy

I want to see good football, too, and I'll watch every snap.

But, if and when we lose 28-7, and the offense looks bad and the defense looks worse, I'm sure as hell not going to worry about it.

OMG DOOOOOOMMMMEEEEDDDDD!!!!!!! :banghead: :cuss: :mad: :shake: :)

So Brodie Frayle is for sure going to play tonight then?

yes, Gay-whore ...


Brodie Croyle is gonna play.

Looks like Vermeil will be at the game tonight. So all you haters can get another chance to throw him under the bus.

From the KC Star:

CHIEFS NOTES

•Among those expected to be in attendance tonight is former coach Dick Vermeil. He’s in town with his wife, Carol, for the annual Chiefs Charity Game.

•It will be a busy weekend for coach Herm Edwards. He and his wife, Lia, are expecting a child Sunday.

KTVI channel 2 in STL area

Someone else starting animal based teams... always means we are DOOOOOOOOOMED.

ROFL

So who are the inactives for the game?

Junior S.?

He'll probably be in in the booth eating chips and DIP.

I wonder how many Ram fan trolls will show up tonight??

No, that would be Priest Holmes. :p

any chance the game is national?


just kidding....sigh

Im planning on listening to the game tonight on 101thefox.com but it's not working. Anyone else having trouble?

Nope do you have you pop up blocker up. Game on bitches.

I always keep the thread starter short on game threads because you have to scroll past it eleventy four times.

William Bartee will be inactive whether he plays or not.

No I don't. The "player" deal comes up but it just doesn't start playing. Any other websites I can go to to listen to the game???

WR Scott McCready
S William Bartee
RB Priest Holmes
CB Alphonso Hodge
TE Adam Johnson
C Jonothan Ingram
G Will Shields
G Peter Heyer
DT Stephen Williams
DE Carlos Hall
DT John Browning
DT Junior Siavii

I am listening to the pregame with no issue. :shrug:

Any chance this is on DTV tonight?...

I didn't see it. Looks like the first time it in on is midnight Sunday (or would that be Monday?).

Well i want to see ty law get a good play in and dj crush a qb.

and I want to see Hilary Duff naked, but we can't always get what we want.

If we are hideous again tonight Herm's going to have HELL from the fans and media.

Time for a good effort- if we keep being this lethargic and inept we could suddenly be looking down the barrell of a 6-10 season (or worse)

nope mine works

People don't worry the chiefs will do good come on we got to believe.

If any of you are out of the area and interested, I'm experimenting around with streaming video. I "might" have a good way for a few of you to watch the game tonight. I have enough bandwidth to handle 3 (maybe 4) people at a decent bitrate. It won't be anything great, but it'll be better than listening to the radio!

Anyway, I'll take the first three people who ask for it in this thread. I'll PM you with info on how to make it work. You MUST have Windows Media Player installed and ready to go.

TOUCHDOWN KAAAAANSAAAAAS CITY!!!!

Pre-season, pre-game, pre-mature exclamation!

But OHHH that felt so good!

Bartee manages to be inactive even when he's playing

daface i'm intrested

daface i'm interested too

No offense intended, Jeff, but I'll favor regular posters over lurkers. If I don't get a couple more takers, you'll have a PM in 10 minutes with instructions. :)

no problem. i completely understand. normally i'm home to watch but i'm sitting in a hotel in LA and no one has it out here.

But if you try sometimes you just might find that you get what you need.

out

Chiefs:
WR Scott McCready
S William Bartee
RB Priest Holmes (Surprise!)
CB Alphonso Hodge
TE Adam Johnson
C Johnathan Ingram
G Will Shields (Jordan Black substituting)
G Peter Heyer
DT Stephen Williams
DE Carlos Hall
DT John Browning
DT Junior Siavii

Now hoping to see trent green do good.

I need streaming video!

DaFace, can you hook me up?

Time to hop in the car and tune to Sirius channel 147.

Spots filled for now. I'll post again later if it looks like my connection will handle another.

I don't have any problem watching the preseason games. It's the ones that count that won't be covered here.

Nice return by Dante

Sucks not being able to see the Game!

Please please please show us something tonight, guys.

Weee don't neeeed nooo stinkin' recievers!

Nice way to get hit before the ball gets there and make the catch EK

Offense looking good so far

They need to run LJ between the tackles.

Moving the chain.

Got it!

I'm interested if you have a spot, DaFace....

Okay.. maybe I'm reeruned, but I can't figure out how to hear the game.

Are you listening from the URL below?

http://101thefox.com/home.htm

I am at that site and can't find anything about 'Listen'..

WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME

The Directv gods just smiled on me. We are having a really bad thunderstorm and my dish had been out for 20 minutes. It came back on just as they tossed the coin.

I couldn't get it to work, DaFace, thanks.

Let mikey try.

Damn LJ!!!!!!!!!!

Lj oh yeah baby.

Power running by LJ.


However, as much as I want to see the O come together, LJ, the game doesn't count, take it a little easier please.

LJ looks great.

Can't see the game. Can anyone provide a short synopsis?

Timeout.... hmm... familiar...

This drive is the best LJ and the O-line has looked all season. About time!
