A Meaningless Rant
 

Did you hear it on Monday? On Tuesday?

The Chiefs have no chance. Why? Because everyone knows that San Diego always controls their own destiny. We're only 8-4 because the Chargers have allowed it...in their benevolence they have allowed the peasants to rise and thump their chests for awhile.

But now, they said, the Chargers are going to rouse us and the rest of the division from our pleasant dreams and remind us that they are still omnipotent and still owners of the AFC West.

Maybe, they said, the feeble Chiefs could come in and make a respectable showing. Perhaps we could run out the clock and lose 24-21, saving face as we witness the great Philip Rivers take the Chargers back off the brink and into the glory of Shank Kaeding's postseason heroics.

And then Matt Cassel's appendix had to come out.

What had been difficult was now impossible. The Chiefs, walking into a game that the Chargers "have to win", will now be lead by Brodie Croyle, whose only victories have come in his bedroom.

Take a look at what the experts say now:

You know what I say? Screw all of them. You know who has to win this game? WE have to win this game. Because we have to go into that toilet bowl and scrub our division of the Chargers' dominance. Because we have to stay in contention to get a first round bye.

Do you hear them, Brodie? They say you can't do it. They say you are weak and terrible.

Do you hear them, Chiefs? They say the Chargers are going to run the table. You are just honored to be in their presence so late in the season.

I say screw all that noise. You are 8-4 and they are 6-6 because you are BETTER than they are. So go into that cesspool and prove it. Tear their hearts through their throats and stake it on the 50 yard line with a flaming spear. Make the Chargers wish the Raiders were back in town. Drive the masses to chant for the pockmarked head of Norvelle in the 3rd quarter.

Tomorrow could represent the tightening of the division. Or you could separate yourselves and get into new echelons of football.

Get 'em.

**** Sandy Eggo.They only control what we let them,which is not a goddamn thing.Win or lose this game we will win the west.****'em.

You go boy!

LMAO
When I read this I imagined Al Pacino from Any Given Sunday for some reason.

THE INCHES WE NEED ARE ALL AROUND US!
That's gonna make the ****IN difference between winning and losing!

Ditto!

THIS

**** THE CHARGERS, GO CHIEFS, THIS IS OUR YEAR.

I would love to see Brodie come alive and light the super chokers up! Nothing is possible in this league and I think we have a much better chance then most people think...

This should be the official game thread. I like it. It's time to put the crater neck led douchebags packing!

^^This

Official Game thread please.

Herm just said the Chiefs pull out a win because we're the better team.

ok, now I'm even more pumped about this game.

I've wanted this win before we played the Donks.

Prolly more emeotionally vested in this game than any other this season...prolly should watch it at the bar.

I concur, this should be the game thread.

I'll be watching it at the bar while I'm working. :cuss: The boss man had better get me my old schedule back soon or he and I will be having a come to Jesus meeting before too long.

Oh.

HAI.

Haven't seen you in quite some time.

Aren't you that guy that get's us better service at restaurants 'cause people think you're......well.........we don't tell?

I'm breaking out my lucky DT jersey for the 1st time in 4 years to watch this game.

I haven't felt this way about a game since the 13-3 year under Vermeil.

America... **** Yeah.

Yeah, and then I get you raped on your tab because they figure out I'm not. :)

Who shows up Sunday? The rebuilding Chiefs that occaisonally stumble or the next team to dominate the AFC West?

Time to step up boys.

MAKE A NEW THREAD I CANT AdamSchefter Adam Schefter
Jackpot: Kansas City reached agreement with RB Jamaal Charles on a five-year, $32.5 million deal that includes $13 million guaranteed.

This thread is just getting better and better.

:whackit:

You know how sometimes the backup QB comes in and has a career day? Why can't this happen with the Chiefs?

Of course, sometimes the back up QB shits a brick.

Done. Thanks.

Didn't Jason Campbell just lead the Raiders over the Chargers? Is Jason Campbell any better than Brodie?

Um, no they don't.

Check the sarcasm meter.

This is referring to Chargers fans' attitude...that the only thing that determines their fate is their own will.

This game isn't just important for the chiefs, it is enormous for Croyle. If he ever wants to have a long career in the NFL, he's got to shine this weekend.

Imagine if Croyle shocks the world and looks great for one weekend in San Diego to lead the chiefs to victory? Unlikely I know, but what if? There's no controversy here because Cassel's our guy at this point, but some team somewhere out there would be desperate enough for a QB in the offseason that we could get a nice draft pick out of him.

This game isn't just for the playoffs, we could be playing for a nice 2nd or 3rd round pick too.

Yet another great angle.

There is SO MUCH to gain Sunday.

It's time to put our foot on the neck of the bolts. Let's get this done and look forward to some football in January.

I think the OP is channeling his inner Knute Rockney or Vince Lombardi today.

I like it.

Brodie taking hot laps with Bouman's John Deere.

Uncool.

Man, player's gotta' play it out.

Better be.

Or Mrs. John Deere anyway.



That energetic bidge is a workout all in itself...

:clap:
CaliforniaChief has always 'quietly' been a superior poster.

Yeah!.....No.

Brodie is a FA after this season.

Here's another reason why this game is important.

What would Whitlock say?

Derrick Johnson/Jamaal Charles locked up, Chiefs win in San Diego and take AFC West (basically).

Egoli for the win!

It'll take a village to beat the Chargers; specials teams score, defensive turnover/score, etc. I believe

Tough game to judge a QB who hasn't started, or even played, since Sept. 2009 against the #1 defense in the league, on the road, with playoff implications. If the Chiefs don't get their running game going, Croyle is a dead man. Rivers will be bombs away with Jackson, Floyd and Gates all playing.

I think we have to throw early. If we don't establish that we can throw the football, the Chargers are going to put 9 in the box and laugh all day long. They have the speed to contain Charles, unless we can loosen them up early.

And I think Brodie can do it. I KNOW he can do it.

nice thread dude
hell, when kc pulls thisd off
whitlock will either ignore it
or tell us all loudly how he knew this was gonna happen
and his homies will win it all

The Raiders beat them up the gut with the running game. Chiefs aren't as physical up front as the Raiders, but I believe SD has one of their run stopping DT's out.

The Chargers' run defense is deceptive. They have played the worst 4 rushing teams in the league, and then 7 games against the top rushing teams. Against the top teams they've given up an average of 150 ypg.

But they make big plays. We have to at least threaten a pass, because we don't have the power running game. Not like the Raiders.

I called for it last night, we need a play fake with a deep ball down the side line or a flea flicker the very first play of the game. Give them something to think about from the start.

I knew that video would make me mad. Saying they have zero chance of winning is just asinine.

Thats nice.

Good luck against a very pissed off Bolts team that just got kicked in the mouth with a big wakeup call last game.

Last game was probably the worst thing that could have happened for you guys.

Shut up.

Follow that logic, and they should have only lost once. They aren't as good as they used to be.

A defense does not give up that many yards when their special teams give up touchdowns via blocked punts, punt returns, and kickoff returns. Also if the offense turns over the ball alot the other team has a sort field to score. The Charges having the #1 defense is BS.

to quote a Chiefs fan at the Seattle game

"I can smell the tears"

A lot of arrogance in here for a Chiefs team that has beaten a single obvious playoff team yet and has only had 3/4 of a good season in their last...um, 4?

All I am saying is that it is not going to be easy to dethrone a team that is used to winning the division and used to late season comebacks.

All this ra-ra-ra rhetoric reminds me of my fellow Bolts fans in 2004, where after years of crapulence we finally had a good season, and were talking lots of smack against the Jets, whom we subsequently lost to in the first round.

Until you have shown you can consistently win big games during the regular season or during crunchtime, perhaps it is unwise to think an average game by your backup QB will "easily" win AT San Diego. I think you are all in for a rude awakening of how playoff runs work.

(That being said, I have learned not to speak a word against another team in the playoffs, as evidenced by our own playoff misery lately).

Absolutely agree. However, it IS in the top 6 or 7. I could break id down statistically for you, but, simplistically, 7 ST TDs or led-to TDs equals about .8 possessions less per game for the D. The D averages 25 yards/possession given up. Hence, with a perfect ST, perhaps the defense would have 20 YPG more, which would still put it up there in the rankings.

I seem to recall our defense AT your house held you to under 200 yards last time (and lost).

We'll see.

That would be a very good play call.

Do you guys have the guts to be aggressive in your calling, or will you think that, since Oakland ran all over us, you can just revert to SteelersBall and win easily?

Campbell was the reason we lost and the reason Oakland had such long drives last game. His scrambling was key on about 5 third down plays. I dont think Croyle will be able to do that as well.

Well, I am not a Seahawks fan, I just happen to live in Seattle.

Yes, you beat the living tar out of them. Good for you. Now, if you lose this game to the Bolts, you will have to beat a Rams team on the road who will be playing for their division and is in must win.

But, by all means, dont take this Chargers game seriously. I mean, we lost to Oakland, right?

LMAO

hey, think whatever you want, but you yourself said we haven't beaten an obvious playoff team.

My teams never call the plays I think they should. If they open the game the way I would like tomorrow I'll probably have a stroke from shock.

Who here isn't taking this game seriously? :spock:

You are an idiot. This game is being viewed by Chiefs fans as the most important game in years. If anything, we may be taking this game a little too seriously as if it were an elimination game or something.

The Bolts are 6-6. Unless I were a homer of homerific proportions, there is now way I would consider the Bolts an "obvious playoff team".

I had done the stats, and the probability of the Bolts catching the Chiefs or Raiders are 25-30%, so you guys certainly control your own destiny and have the leg up.

However, you lose this game, things will get extremely dicey, as they did for Denver in 2008. That next game of yours at the Rams will be at best a pickem and you will probably be underdogs again.

The Bolts have about as easy a schedule as a playoff team can have the last 3.

There is one AFC West Love Scenario that would bring both teams together in complete and loving harmony:

Ravens lose to Houston, and lose to either Saints or at Cleveland (or Bungles), and the Bolts win out and take the #6 seed, KC wins out last 3 and takes #3 seed. Instant rematch first round.

I've read your forum for the past 6 games or so, and most view this as a nice statement game, but not as big of a 'must win' game.

I would harbour that it is Must Win certainly for the bolts, but also for the Chiefs in a slightly lesser, but still robust, way. Having your backup QB in should make people much more tight in an already tough matchup for you guys.

I dont see that here. I see lots of threads devoted to how good Croyle and his 0-9 record (and arm) are, and how so many fans have that "non dread game feeling" and so on forth.

you must not have read this thread, because my first reply doesn't correlate with not taking this game seriously.

In that case, your reading comprehension skills suck. We have not had a "must win" game in years, and you are misreading hopeful optimism as overconfidence.

Not to mention humor and sarcasm to cover our uneasiness over the QB situation.

The guy just hasn't been around long enough to grasp this place.

I think this is a game that Weis has use the playaction pass on first down over and over again.

We have to establish the idea in the minds of the Chargers that we will not rely solely on the ground game, and a single early play will not establish that.
