Chiefs Observations On My First Observed Game This Year.

**Rain Man** · 09-21-2008, 04:06 PM

1. Oh, my god. It's worse than I thought.

2. Our running backs are actually pretty good. Charles catches like the Venus de Milo, but at the same time Thigpen was showing no touch at all. I have no idea if our fullback played or not - never saw him except in the huddle.

3. Thigpen is not accurate, and he panics. Give him two more games, and if he doesn't improve radically, bring back Huard to help develop our young players who have a future.

4. The attitude on the team is horrific. Every player knows that they have no chance to win with Herm Edwards as coach, and they were all dejected by the first quarter. It's not a rebuilding effort unless the coaches are making the players better, and they're not.

5. Albert was having some trouble with the speed rushes, but otherwise seemed like a keeper. Makes me wonder if he's got a long-term future at left tackle, though.

6. Devard Darling wasn't trying very hard to tackle on one of those interceptions. Receivers in Herm's offense need to learn to tackle well.

7. That missed field goal was brutal.

8. Look up the definition of the term MVP, and tell me why Dustin Colquitt shouldn't be a leading contender for NFL MVP this year.

9. Why does B.J. Sams take fair catches inside the ten? Do we have a special teams coach, or is it just another friend of Carl/Herm who doesn't have a clue?

10. Our rookie corners seemed to play better than our veteran safeties.

11. Pat Thomas is not an NFL linebacker. He's definitely not a starting NFL middle linebacker.

12. Tank looks like our best lineman at the moment. He was very active and disruptive. I think Dorsey will be good, but he's just a lost rookie at the moment, and McBride was making more noise than Hali at the end spots. I think the first touchdown was against a backup defensive line, though it was hard for me to see numbers.

13. I was at a sports bar, and some dude told the female bartender (who was about a 5.5, and thus way out of his league), "My only complaint today is that I didn't wake up next to you this morning." About two seconds later, the guy's girlfriend walked up and hugged him. I was tempted to tell her. She was out of his league, too. It was interesting to me because I thought boorishness like that was just on bad TV. I didn't think anyone in real life would say something like that.

14. I feel really bad for Tony G. and Donnie and Brian Waters. They deserve better.
