Chiefs Thigpen isn't good enough. - Page 11

Hammock Parties · 12-14-2008, 03:33 PM

Thigpen just isn't good enough. He disappeared for an entire half. Our downfield passing game was terrible today. Thigpen's running was more impressive than his passing.

And of course his endgame was terrible. A five-yard run and a 10-yard dumpoff to Gonzalez? Pathetic.

We need a new quarterback.

Never goes downfield? Did you watch the KC/Den game last week?

You may well be right.

In fact I believe this to be true, but we only have our belief to do on.

Unless, and until, we get solid evidence to support that belief, they both get the blame.

I'm watching this Baltimore game, and the Ravens have a 6 point lead, with about 6 mins remaining with a rookie QB, and they just took a shot downfield.

They aren't sitting on the lead.
They are attacking.

**The Bad Guy** · 12-14-2008, 06:02 PM

The Ravens coach is unbelievable how he turned them around. He lets his coordinators coordinate. They play ****ing filthy defense, they fixed their O-line, they have a rookie QB and they are going to be 10-4.

That is what rebuilding looks like.

THe d lost it in the end...but we saw the best d for 3 quarters for the first time in a long time. It would have been nice for the o to get some first downs and score at least a field goal in the second half.

I'll bet Herm is orgasmic over this field goal fest.

I'll take Thigpen right now over Trent Green at the peak of his career.

I dont about this game but Clayton is finally right on something. Thigpen isnt our QB of the future.

theultimatekcchiefsfan · 12-14-2008, 07:56 PM

I agree Thigpen made a bad decision at the end of the game. But to say he isnt good enough is crazy. This guy always has us in the game to the end. He is exciting and can scramble.

I believe that Larry Johnson is the weak link on offense. If Jamal Charles was getting Larry carries we would be winning more. If Kolby Smith would not have gotten hurt, who knows.

I am so tired of Larrys no move, pause, drag your leg and go everytime we need a big play. Larry can make one or 2 big plays every now and then, but if it is really needed, he fails almost every time.

I would love to unload this guy and his baggage and move on.

Isn't Stafford going back or did I miss something?

He was chased around all day. You must have watched a different game than I did.

Ebolapox · 12-14-2008, 08:07 PM

eh, I don't blame the game on thigpen. I blame the game on what's been our biggest problem for a LONG time, the ****ing coaching. they went into a ****ing shell in the second half and we didn't have a prayer.

Quarterback is always going to be an issue when the offense sputters and dies. Are you kidding me?

The defense choked, yeah, but they kept setting up the offense in the second half and Thigpen just did...nothing.

A couple drives and we're not even having this conversation. But Thigpen just did...nothing. Nothing at all.

Yeah you're right! He didn't rush for a TD off of a 2nd half turnover!! Good call! I'm not saying he did a lot in the 2nd half, but he did do something.

You do realize that Baltimore was 13-3 in 2006. McNair got hurt last year and they sunk. Add Flacco and they are back. Not exactly rebuilding.
