Ten Things About Today's Game
Ten Things About Today's Game
10. In the timeless words of the Late Great Bill Grigsby, it was a be-au-ti-ful day for football, and a wonderful day to push the streak to 8-0. I took a bunch of pictures today, and I'll attach a link, and you can check them out if you like. Includes pics of some pre-game stuff, cheerleaders, George Brett pounding a drum and some good field shots. Hope you like them. I dumped them into Photobucket, you can see them here: http://s1360.photobucket.com/user/Ge...ish/slideshow/ 9. The formula worked again. Stingy points on defense, just enough on offense, no critical turnovers, and forced a big turnover in the fourth quarter on special teams. Alex Smith had an OK day. He was running for his life a lot. Cleveland had six sacks today. I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure that's the most we've given up to an opponent this year. Smith's line was 24 of 36 for 225, two TD's and no picks. He has been very spotty with his accuracy. On one throw to McGrath, he was spot on. The next pass he overthrows Fasano by five yards. HIs TD to McCluster was a thing of beauty, right on the money. And McCluster made a nice catch, considering he catches this ball with a bad wrist. Here's a video of the play: View My Video 8. Eight guys caught passes, so we continue to spread the ball to anyone and everyone. Bowe only had one catch for seven yards, and that is very troubling. Don't know if its because Smith doesn't have time to let routes develop, or Bowe isn't getting separation, or a little of both. McCluster was the workhorse on pass receiving, with 7 for 67 yards and the TD. Sherman got his first TD of his career on a beautifully devised screen pass. The screen was a very good play for KC, as Cleveland's rush was all out, all day long. Charles had over 100 in multipurpose yards, 74 rushing, averaged just over four per carry, and 5 catches for 46, that's a bit over nine per catch. He dinged up a knee, but looked good to me in the fourth quarter. He is a tough dude. 7. Eric Fisher had another bad game. He was bad on run blocking and on pass blocking, and got beat by several different Browns players. In the first quarter, watch Fisher on his run blocking as Knile Davis gets destroyed: View My Video On pass protection, Fisher isn't much better. He was beaten on several plays. Here his guy blows right past him and forces Smith to get rid of the ball early on a 3rd and 4: View My Video The rest of the line didn't fare much better today either. We were out-sacked six to one today. 6. Sean Smith had a very bad day. He was burned at least three times on passes, including the flea flicker for Cleveland's first TD. He did not play this well at all, and he got no safety help at all over the top from Lewis: View My Video We had no picks for the first time (I think) this season. Defense was great against the run today. Cleveland has negative one yard rushing in the first half, and ended the game with just 57 total yards on the ground; and 17 of that was from Campbell running for his life. 5. The player of the game was Derrick Johnson. This guy doesn't get nearly enough credit. He led the team with 12 tackles, and he seems to set the tone for the entire defense. Check out this hit in the fourth quarter, when Cleveland is trying to mount a drive to tie the game: View My Video Nobody scored after the nine minute mark in the third quarter. So again, the defense shuts the door when it counts. 4. Justin Houston was quiet until his fourth quarter sack. That was his only tackle of the day. Joe Thomas was very effective on Hali today as he only had two tackles and no sacks. He did draw an important holding penalty against Thomas in the fourth quarter to stall a drive. Cleveland's offensive line did a very good job in pass protection. They didn't run block worth spit, but then again, they have no real credible running backs. 3. I think Colquitt's plant knee is still bothering him. He hasn't been completely right since he got dinged up in the Giants game. The punt muff by Bess was on a very short and wobbly Colquitt kick. If they field that punt clean, they're in business around the KC 40 yard line. Succop was 3 for 4 today. His effective range tops out at about 46 yards. Anything beyond that is a 50-50 proposition. Overall though, he's had a good year. 2. I can't express my man love for Andy Reid enough. He is undefeated against Cleveland lifetime -he's five and zero. The coaching staff never got rattled, and our time outs were used wisely, and near the end of the game were used to re-set defenses against Cleveland. The pass defense was shaky, but I think Smith just had one of those days as a corner, and it reflected on the final passing stats. Cleveland's tight end Cameron is a very good young player, and gave us some trouble. He averaged over 20 yards per catch today. Look for other teams to exploit our tight end coverage in weeks to come, especially San Diego and Denver. 1. I caught Shannon the Mouth, Cowher and Boomer talking about KC after the game. I HATE Shannon Sharpe with the intensity of a thousand white hot suns. I really dislike Dan Fouts who was on the broadcast today too. He's always been anti-KC because Art Still used to throw him on his head here. But Sharpe is bad mouthing us already, poo-pooing our undefeated start. I truly hope we stick it up Denver's ass at Arrowhead and shut him up. Now it's on to Buffalo,who got whacked by New Orleans today. Buffalo totally embarrassed us there last year in the "Fetal Cassel" game. As for that cheap shotting douche bag Stevie Johnson, I hope Eric Berry knocks the day living crap out of him. How great would 9-0 be? It would be be-au-ti-ful! Last edited by gblowfish; 10-27-2013 at 07:08 PM.. |

Great pics and read George. Thou i think we will be ok because this team is playing to win and have a winning attitude that wasn't around during pioli's time there.

A positive for the offense is that we were playing a damn good defense. 7th in the league against the pass, and 9th in the league against the rush, and we were able to score more than our 19 point average on them, and completely dominate the first half time of possession by 3 to 1.
Unfortunately for the offense, the Browns can also make halftime adjustments and they did that very well, holding us to a late field goal as the only points in the second half, after we dropped 20 on them in the first half. We left 14 points out there on the field. The horrific overthrow to Fasano would've been a TD. Theres 4 points because we at least got a FG out of it. We missed the 52 yard FG that had plenty of distance but sailed just wide, and I fully believe that if Smith hits Avery on that streak play down the sideline, he's gone. We scored 23, when we had every opportunity in the world to put up 34 on a top 10 defense. It has to get worked out, because one of these games is going to be a loss because of plays like these that get left out on the field. It does no good to dominate time of possession, first downs, turnovers, etc... if you cant get any points out of the deal. KC was dominating the first half statistics, but due to lack of scoring, ONE PLAY put the Browns right back into the game. Its like the 90's all over again. If the defense makes one mistake, it could very well cost us the game, and all the time spent controlling the ball means absolutely nothing. If this team's goals include winning in the playoffs, this has to get fixed. Teams are so damn good now at just marching down the field when they only need the one score to win or tie that this style of play is just too damn risky. If the Chiefs could simply break it down, simplify it, and score one touchdown each quarter, they would be golden.

I had the pleasure of meeting another CP'er yesterday, DC.Chief. We met at a sports bar halfway between our two locations and had a nice time sharing Chiefs stories and watching the game together. I'm not sure why but yesterday's game was really boring to watch. Maybe because we sucked on offense, missed opportunities to score TD's and kicked FGs instead, and our D really didn't play their best game. If it wasn't for all the help we got from Brown's player Bess, this game could have been a loss. We must play better all around to keep winning and hopefully it will happen. Thanks as always GB!!!

I'd say other than McCluster, the whole team brought their 'B' game. But we still won.
Andy Reid - another great spot challenge. Paid off. But what was up with declining the punter interference? Dan Fouts - I never really noticed until yesterday how biased he is against the Chiefs. I couldn't stand listening to them. Cleveland's OL is legit. Jason Campbell was one of my picks for FA QB when he left Oakland. He can throw it. Man I hope we trade for Cleveland's TE or WR!
