A Great Day of Football

[Hoover]

Yesterday was one great day of football. I had no expectations for my beloved Chiefs to make the playoffs, in fact at church I was talking to a high school Chiefs fan about how disappointing the Browns loss was, and that I was going to watch the game and hope for the best.

So while watching the game, I was camped out in his leather recliner with a computer on his lap do some work and posting on the Planet. It was actually one of the best Chiefs games I watched all year, the announcers were incredible, they made an 18 point lead seem like a tied game, and there were big plays being made all over the place. I was confident that the Chiefs would win.

Even thought I knew there was just no way the Chiefs would make the playoffs, I kept watching the scores from the Steelers-Bengal’s and the Titans-Pats game. When both teams won I was happy but then reminded myself that the 9ers still had to beat the Broncos in Denver.

I go up and tell my wife what had happened and that I would be hunkered down in the basement watching the 9ers-Broncos games because there is a chance the Chiefs make the playoffs. Then I start getting excited, the Broncos running game is average, their Defense isn’t what is was earlier in the year, and most importantly, a rookie is their qb. On the other hand I the 9ers have a bunch of young players who are really coming into their own, and Frank Gore is a beast at RB. I felt pretty good. We all know the impossible happened and the Chiefs are in the playoffs. It was a great day of football.

No matter what happens in the playoffs I’m just glad the Chiefs made it. I actually think we are a dangerous team, especially if we get good play from Trent Green. I’m interested to see how this team responds and play in the playoffs. I like the match up against Indy, but none of the AFC teams in the playoffs are in a different league than the Chiefs. We can hang with all of them, and out side of LT we have the best RB. If the defense and Green plays well I think the Chiefs can make a run.
