Chiefs An undetermined number of things from today's game (Road Trip Edition)

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12-20-2009, 07:46 PM

So, I decide late last night - after receiving a text from KC Fish - to go ahead and make the trip after all. Alarm goes off at 4:30 and I'm gassed up and on the road by 5, Red Bull in the cupholder. By the time I reach Columbia at 6:30, I'm hitting the wall, and questioning my judgment. I can't help to think, "what kind of dumbass drives 4 hours each way to see a 3-10 football team play a 2-11 football team?"

Early on, I'm thinking I made the worst decision of anyone in the stadium, until I see a lady in the front row of the LL with a sign that read, "Drove from Arizona to see the Chiefs." Thanks, Lady. YOU'RE the biggest dumbass here.

On to the game. Let's start with the obvious...

Todd Haley is a dumbass.

Game management was piss-poor once again. The 2:00 drive at the end of the first half was unintentional comedy. No sense of urgency, and then a ****ING PUNT on 4th down on Cleveland's side of the field? Really?

Oh, and Todd...Cleveland's best player is this guy named Josh Cribbs. You could say he's a pretty ****ing incredible kick returner. I guess you had no idea, because you kicked to him. And he burned you. So what the **** do you do?

Kick to him AGAIN. Brilliant. Dude ends up with over 300 all-purpose yards because you're either a dumbass, stubborn as ****, or both. Thanks.

Today was Record-Breaking day at Arrowhead. Cribbs sets the new single season return TD mark. James Harrison sets a Cleveland franchise rushing record. And in the process, puts his name in the NFL record book for 3rd most rushing yards in a game.

w00t, defense.

And here we go.....Matt Cassel.

Yes, statistically, he had his best game as a Chief. But it was just as inconsistent as any other. Best deep ball he's thrown all year to Chambers to set up the first TD. Followed by more throws behind, high and behind, low, etc. Christ, he tried to dump a pass off to Charles while Charles was blocking a blitzer. Decision making still leaving a LOT to be desired. Several throws into double and triple coverage today. A true WTF moment with the dropped INT - another when he decided to throw to O'Connell on 3rd and 2 when he could have run for 15 yards and the first down - and what was he thinking on the last play of the game? Damn, Matt, you're only 30 yards away - you don't have to wind up like you're chucking a hail mary. Keep it in the yard, FFS, and let someone at least have a chance to make a play.

And I would hope that someone would have mentioned it by now, but he's throwing against a defense that is starting Mike ****ing Furrey - a WR - as a DB.

The OL played it's best game of the year, IMHO.

Interesting, considering we had 3 new starters. Barry Richardson played an exceptional game, as did Smith and Albert. Rudy and Alleman were even serviceable - against a team that sacked Ben Roethlisberger EIGHT times last week.

Good for Jamaal Charles. Granted, dude needed a verbal slur-fest from LJ to see the field, but he's making the most of his opportunity.

Looking forward to replaying it tomorrow, but I'm curious to see what others thought, considering no one in KC saw it unless they were there.
