Chiefs A Meaningless Rant - Page 4

CaliforniaChief · 12-11-2010, 11:22 AM

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.
