Ten Things From Today: The Torture Never Stops - Page 3

**gblowfish** · 12-02-2007, 05:30 PM

Been a long time since I've endured a five game losing streak with the Chiefs. I told my wife today I felt 25 years younger, because today's game experience was like something out of 1982. I've been going to Chiefs games since 1965. I've missed attending maybe a half a dozen home games my whole life. Things are bad, boys. Bad. I haven't felt this bad about the Chiefs since Frank Gansz was head coach.

Here's 10 observations from today:

1) There must have been 15,000 no shows today. Serious empty seats upstairs and in the Gold "Johnson County" section. It was cold, but not terrible cold like snow & ice games. Still, I can't blame people sitting up in the nosebleed section for not showing up. It got colder as the game went on, wind never did stop blowing.

2) Chris Terry is so bad they didn't even dress him today. Last week he got pissed when I called him the human speed bump. This week they started Turley, who's even worse, if that's possible. At least you have to slow down to go over a speed bump.

3) Damon Huard is a pussy. He reminds me of Bill Kenney in the 80's. He comes out for the second half tied up, when things start to go bad, mostly because of his fumbles and picks, he suddenly hurts his hand and can't play. Reminds me of Rodney in Caddyshack "Oooh....my arm, I think it's broken." Then "Pigpen" comes in and gives me another 80's flashback. A), because he's the first Chiefs QB to wear #4 since Steve Fuller and B), because the threw a pick on his second attempt, which reminded me of Steve Fuller. I think Huard will hang it up next year, he just doesn't seem to have the want to anymore.

4) Bennie Sapp wanted to play in the second half. When he came out of the locker room, they hid his helmet. He went to Herm, and Herm just shook his head at him. He was pissed and went back to the locker room, didn't see him again all game.

5) Patrick Surtain and Ty Law are both done. Law had a pick thrown right to him, but couldn't tackle worth spit today. Surtain got burned for a bomb, and the receiver had to wait for the ball because the wind held it up. On a normal day he would have been beat by 20 yards instead of 10. Pathetic pass coverage.

6) If I remember correctly, both of LT's TD runs were on third and inches? How can that happen?

7) Kudos to Jared Allen today. He came off the field limping because he got cut blocked Donkeys style, walked it off, then went in a caught our only TD pass today. Our receiving corps should be mortified. Jared Allen out performed them today. He made a nice catch, too. And I got one of his gloves after the game today. That was the only redeeming quality for sitting out there today for me.

8) We have to find two tackles for next week's game somewhere. McIntosh is gimpy, and basically has been all year. Turley and Terry are awful. Does Svitek even speak English? He looks like an eastern european weight lifter...

9) We should activate our entire practice squad for the rest of the year, and start anybody with three years or less experience. We're not going to learn anything from our vets we don't already know. I'm serious. Bench them all. Play all the new guys the rest of the year. And if Brodie can't play, start Pigpen.

10) King Carl had the gall to play commercials saying "It's not too early to start paying for 2008 season tickets now!" He won't be able to send out a desperation playoff money letter this year. Why in the world would anybody pay any playoff money until the payments were due? It's insulting, and typical, of this clueless, greedy front office.

BTW: Percy Snow's thread "Can the Fans Take Some Blame" is attention whoring at its worst. Nuthooks.

A lot of people were no shows but technically it's still a sell out, correct?

Just wondering if they know it's not going to be a sellout if they compensate for that.

Eleazar · 12-02-2007, 08:30 PM

You know, I wonder why they don't just drop the parking fees and raise the ticket prices to compensate.

You'd make the same amount of money, but you wouldn't have a case where someone is holding tickets but the team blows, and they don't want to pay $22 for a parking space, so they stay home.

You'd get them in the house, they'd probably buy something, and the place wouldn't be so empty.

Yeah. They start giving away tickets for pennies on the dollar to their corporate sponsors.

Here's the glove I got today. The players write their numbers on the gloves so you know who it belongs to. I've got Tony G "88" Napoleon Harris "50" and the new guy Gilbert Harris "30. "

Have a bunch from other years too. These are the ones I got this year.

Hammock Parties · 12-02-2007, 08:56 PM

That is badass. I would pretty much cream myself for a "27."

Is HUTARD the King of the batted down pass

StcChief · 12-02-2007, 09:00 PM

It was pitiful to watch here on CBS. Listening to Cross/Enberg.

Allen's TD . and the EK maybe pass. were nice play additions.

12-02-2007, 09:01 PM

I heard Allen kills cats in his free time now that he's no longer drinking. I wonder how many cats he killed wearing that very glove. Probably hundreds. If I killed hundreds of felines I'd wear gloves too. Blisters are a bitch.
