Chiefs Thigpen isn't good enough. - Page 17

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.

Sure, and I agree with you on the other things that does factor into development. Like the timing for QB's with receivers. That's important. Timing for offensive linemen to work together on their plays. That's important too. Timing is everything, and they do work on it during practices and other various things (Film, playbooks, etc)

But during game time, timing could be disrupted because in practice, most teams tend to go half-speed to not risk of a injury, with a occasional full speed practice. Plus, you are facing different type of players week in and week out. Preperations are different during week in and week out. etc.

I disagree GoBoy .. yes Thiggy didn't have a good second half ... but you can't let a team score two touchdowns in the last five minutes ... that was on the defense and that is what cost us the game ...

Shit, could you imagine if we had a half decent Oline.

Well, we do have a half-decent line, on the left side. It's the right side that's the problem.

They still suck ass overall though. We cant get any real running game from them. More often then not, there is a defender behind the LOS by the time our RB even gets the ball. Thats a HUGE problem. We dont get any push. That run to the outside by LJ where everyone was moaning about LJ sucking. Look at where Macnsuck took on his blocker, 2-3 yards behind the line on a ****ing run. lol

Hell, keep the shitty OL and give us an average defense.

7 of our losses have been by a combined total of 33 points.

Agreed, but offense certainly didn't help today. What was it? Three first downs in the second half? Compared to 18 in the first half?

But how much of this can be linked to conseritive playcalling? What I saw in the 2nd half, was nowhere near the level in the first half.

Definitely had better decisions made in the first half. Not sure if conservatism was the major problem, though.

Remember before this season started, and almost universally, people said that if Croyle threw for 2500 yards and had a 1/1 TD/INT ratio, they'd be satisfied?

Thigpen's going to do it in ELEVEN STARTS.

Yet people are busting his balls.

Brilliant.

I was not aware of that. I was aware that Tyler's TD/INT ratio was pretty decent.

Do you have a link where some of those people alledgely said those comments towards Brokie Croyle?

we definately need to fix the Dline, but we are so far under the cap, we can help the Oline as well.

Did anyone actually think they'd be running a bunch of gimmick sets that involve 95% of the game being played from shotgun?

well, it was a 50 yarder. He's not the strongest legged kicker, so hey, he tried. lol
