Chiefs Ten Things About Today's Game

Ten Things About Today's Game

10. I'm on vacation until November 30th, so I was a total couch slug today. Slept in late with Mrs. Blowfish, didn't do a damn thing around the house because I did all my chores yesterday, and just vegged out and watched football all day long. There's nothing better than laying an ass whooping on a division opponent at their place in front of their fans. This is the first time in 22 years KC has won back to back roadies at San Diego, and today is the worst ass kicking we've put on the Bolts in their stadium since Lenny the Cool beat them 40-3 in 1968. What's more, it was Ladanian Tomlinson Day, a guy who torched the Chiefs many times in his career. And since the Bolts could only manage 52 yards rushing, they should have suited him up. Lots of good stuff today, so let's give credit where credit is due, starting with the offense:

9. Alex was his typical game manager self. He went 20 for 25, no TDs, no picks, sacked three times. But he also ran for 33 yards and didn't do anything stupid. Play calling in the first half was still maddening, like not throwing balls into the end zone in red zone opportunities, but he can only run the plays that Andy sends in. Smith spread the ball to eight different receivers, which is usually a stat that means we win. He also hit some guys in stride, which he has big trouble doing. He hit West out of the backfield early and hit Avant on a nice sideline play. But he also almost got Maclin killed again this week, but all in all, hard to complain when you smoke a team by 30 points in their house. Nice job, Alex.

8. One of the few guys who had a bad game was Kelce. He cost us 7 total points. Hands to the face on the first TD cost us the extra point -and I sure am glad that didn't come back to bite our ass, although I'll bet many of you were thinking "uh-oh...here we go" early on. He dropped a TD catch, which we'll give him a pass on since he got targeted by T'eo -who's one of several dirty players on the Bolts. He dropped a pass in the Red Zone that would have gone for a TD -although Alex put too much mustard on it, and he dropped another 3rd down pass in the second half that would have gone for a first down and more, snuffing a drive. But he did manage to catch five balls, which was everything else thrown at him. It was great to see Poe get a TD. Like John Madden used to say "I love it when a fat guy scores."

7. KC has been amazingly deep with their running backs. We lose Charles, West steps up and plays great. We lose West, Ware steps up and plays great. Ware was just shy of 100 yards rushing and had the two dagger TDs in the second half to put the game away. If West can't go next Sunday against Buffalo, it'll be cold weather Marty Ball at Arrowhead with Ware, Sherman and Knile Davis. I'm not sure what Davis did to get in the dog house. Remember, he scored the go ahead TD vs. Denver in the home opener, before the meltdown. So he has skills, and he can return kicks if DAT is still out Sunday. He could be a serious grinder for us next week.

6. I don't know what else Colquitt can do to make All-Pro. He's had a kick ass year, and has flipped the field countless times. His punts inside the ten have been outstanding, and since he's left footed, his kicks spin funky and are hard to field. The muffed punt in the second half by Herndon was a turning point in the game. I'm a little worried about Santos missing the PAT, but overall he's had a pretty decent season. We've had fewer special teams penalties over the past few games, so Dave Toub is dong a better job coaching his guys up to play smart. Well done Specials, well done.

5. This was a dominant defensive effort on the road, and the D deserves a standing ovation. So, stand up right now, applaud for several minutes, then sit back down. I'll wait..... Great day for Hali with two sacks. He was held probably a half dozen times that weren't called. Great day for Poe. Scores a TD, stuffed the run, chased Phyllis all over the field, and looks like his back is finally getting back to normal. Great day for Houston with a critical pick six to get the TD that the offense was not able to provide. Great game by Eric Berry, who's always been a beast on run support, and stopped a final fourth and one gasp by the Bolts in the fourth quarter. Too bad he couldn't have knocked Stevie Johnson out of the game. He's the douche that cheap shotted Berry in Arrowhead when he played for Buffalo. Somebody needs to crack that little bastard.

4. Speaking of cheap shots, the Bolts did their best Donk impression today with not one, not two, but three helmet to helmet shots, of which only one was penalized. DAT took a blow that knocked him out of the game. Maclin took one that sat him down for a couple series, and Kelce took one on the TD pass he dropped. T'eo and Addae were head hunting, and Addae finally gave himself a concussion when he hit Maclin. Hope there'll be fines, and we'll remember that when they come to Arrowhead in December.

3. You can try to diminish this victory, and say San Diego was "decimated by injuries," but so what? This time of year, everybody has injuries. We're playing without our best player (Charles) and lost our best remaining back (West) and still rolled. Phyllis is a little bitch, and his guys dropped three wide open passes for him, Phyllis missed several other open receivers, and Gates was arguing with him on the sidelines. I love beating Phyllis. We still need to beat him about ten more times to make up for the game he beat us in Arrowhead when Bowe muffed an onside kick and let Phyllis back into the game -which we eventually lost. Luckily, Bowe does not play for KC any more and all the critical drops were by guys wearing powder blue. I will say this, those San Diego Uni's are the coolest. Old school AFL, man.

2. Kudos to Bob Sutton. He dialed up great pressure, stuffed the run, out coached the Bolts in every possible way, and the only points given were on a 52 yard field goal. That's strong. Andy is still maddening in the red zone when he won't throw the ball into the end zone. And please get rid of any pass where the ball is thrown behind the line of scrimmage. Houston's pick six took the pressure off the offense, and Ware wore down the San Diego defense in the fourth quarter as he ground the clock down and pounded that rock.

1. Chiefs even out at 5-5,which is amazing, since they came back from being 1-5 and losing five straight, to winning four straight. Of the remaining schedule, only Buffalo has a winning record, and would be battling the Chiefs for a possible wild card spot. Bills play the Cheatriots on Monday night, so we'll get them at home on a short week next Sunday. Hopefully they'll be beat up. Looks like we won't have to face Flacco in Baltimore either. Too bad Cutler couldn't beat Denver's second stringer (figures...I hate that guy) and the Fade lost to Detroit. So we're actually in pretty good position for the next six games. Things are about to get interesting, which should make December on the CP a hoot. Everybody have a great Turkey Day!

SD was bad everywhere on the field today, and that's rare to see from any NFL team. Dropping punts and passes and getting gashed by a practice squad guy shows how terrible they are across the board

Toub said eariler in the week that he thinks Colquitt might be the best Punter to ever live.

toub was known for runbacks before the chiefs. last year and this one toub is more about using the kicking team as a weapon.

I realize everyones loves to bag on him, myself included, but hes really playing well. Yes, he doesnt throw enough TDs, but hes a good, solid QB. If he can get us to the playoffs, anything can happen. We know hes a 'balla' in the playoffs.

He's on a bit of a hot streak now, converting a higher percentage of 3rd downs and protecting the foootball.

We just need more. More passes down field, more TDs, etc.

Further:

The defense couldn't reasonably be expected to play any better than they have during this win streak and, given the loss of our best player and offensive line shuffling, the running game has performed pretty ****ing well. And yet we're still struggling to score points.

It's OK for now against the level of competition we're playing, but there'll come a time when we need him to turn up.

one thing i have learned about Alex since he entered the NFL is he is the most unselfish guy around. He don't mind not having scoring tds as long as he scores. Alot of the qbs around the league would be throwing fits. I know I would. Let him have 1 td a game ffs....

Good read George, we just have to keep winning!

InChiefsHeaven · 11-22-2015, 07:24 PM

I was hunting this morning, and when I got home I took a nap...and overslept, so I missed Poe's TD. Then I had to get to Church for 5PM mass, so I missed all the Ware goodness. But I've watched all the highlights. I have to say, this was a great game by Alex. The pass to Wilson was...unexpected. He just seemed to be throwing downfield a lot more today. This was probably the best I've seen him look since 2013.

Defense keeps beasting. I think we're hitting our stride at the right time. Sucks that Dungver won, but I don't thing Asswieler is the world beater that I'm sure Donk fans want him to be. He's an upgrade over Manning, but let's face it, this season that's not saying much.

Chiefs have a great opportunity to prove that we're the best in this division. Just win baby!

'Hamas' Jenkins · 11-22-2015, 07:24 PM

Good recap.

The Chiefs are as good as anyone in the AFC who isn't New England or Cincinnati, but that gap is an absolute abyss.

There is a good chance they could break the playoff win drought this year, which would be somewhat bizarre given that this is really just a run-of-the-mill team, but the AFC is terribad.

Yep, that's what I've been saying since we were 2-5. A playoff win is out there to be had. This conference is terrible. I think way too many people (not just here, but on the Internet and TV) are treating this like it's a normal year. It's not.

If the Patriots beat the Bills tomorrow, there will be 9 teams in the entire NFL with a winning record. And we're going into week 12. You can count the number of good teams on one hand.
