Ten Things From Today's Game - Page 8

**gblowfish** · 12-16-2007, 04:45 PM

Merry Frickin' Christmas....

1) Announced attendance over 70,000. Actual attendance probably 50,000. Upstairs about half full.

2) Didn't see many guys wearing bags over their heads, but did see two great signs. One was three guys way upstairs holding 3 neon green signs that said...

GET......OVER......IT

Very nice.

Second one was with about 2 minutes left in the game under the big scoreboard, some guys unfurled a big long white sheet that covered from goalpost to goalpost that said (not sure if this is exact...)

GET RID OF CARL AND SEND HERM WITH HIM

3) I'm starting to fear Brodie Croyle is the next Todd Sackledge. Two TDs, but two costly picks in the second half. I can see King Carl (if he's still here) bringing in yet another journeyman QB like a Krieg, or DeBerg or Bono...to challenge Brodie next year. I think Huard is toast. I'm not sold on Brodie. He has yet to win a start. Sometimes your QB has to will the team to victory. Not sure if Brodie has the chops to do that.

4) If there is a silver lining, we found out Kolby Smith can play. Dude is every bit as good as Michael Bennett. Wonder if he can return kicks?

5) When was the last time the Chiefs didn't have a kicker and a kick returner? We have to find a kicking solution for the long term, and we have to find a guy who can be a threat on kickoff returns. How does Eddie Drummond cash his paycheck with a straight face?

6) Chris Terry is now free to start his career as a Sears Sales Associate, selling riding mowers or Kenmore Washers. Best of luck to him in his retail career. I told him three weeks ago the only way he'd see the Raiders next year at Arrowhead was to buy a ticket. I was right. Good Riddance.

7) Who the hell is Dick Curl and why do we need him around? He's just a grumpy old man who annoys our QBs, as far as I can tell....

8) I think Solari and Gunther could both be gone at the end of the year. Neither has done an acceptable job this year.

9) What happened to Turk and Tank this year? They have been inconsequential as draft picks. Boone and Edwards play more than they do, and today Jimmy Wilkerson outplayed both of them. There goes another poor 2 and 3 pick. We need impact players with those picks. Chiefs just can't get value for high picks. Junior Siavii, Eddie Freeman, Mike Cloud, etc etc etc....

10) Selected Chiefs Merchandise 50% off next weekend at the Chiefs Pavillion. I'm sure they'll have people camping out for that next weekend. Buy a lot of crap....Carl is counting on you.

No reason to screw up our draft at this point. Play all rookies. Run the ball.
Trade Tony G to give him a chance to win a SB in the few years he has left.

Think the Jets fans will get a big kick out of beating Herm last game of the season? I think they'll have a big day at home and try to embarrass Herm... like that's something new this year.

That was a pretty coool fleaflicker play, only thing was I thought Webb could have made an extra effort to catch the ball.

Brodie made some plays with his feet to avoid the sack and he also threw the ball away to avoid the INT. He did throw a couple INTs but BFD that's what young QBs do. Veterans aren't emune to throwing INTs either. INTs are killers but we have to give Brodie some time to learn from those mistakes. I like Brodie and he has met my expectations and am very much hoping he is our QB for a long time. He needs a team to support him and fans that will be patient with him.

I'm gonna stand bye that it was the penalties that killed us the most today. That play that Eddie Kennison made to like the ten yard line got called back and we had several penalties today that made it tough to get first downs.

Riddle me this:

Let's say we started this defense next week against Detroit:

DE: Vonnie Holliday, Eric Hicks
DT: Ryan Sims, Junior Siavii
LB: Kendrell Bell, Kawika Mitchell, Scott Fujita
CB: Toasty and Crispy (Warfield & Bartee)
SS & FS: Jerome Woods, Greg Wesley

Would these guys do better....I mean, present day...than what we got out there now?

As good as you can expect is a 101.6 QB rating? Only 2 picks all year?

The Chiefs would be lucky if Croyle turned out as well as Garrard has. He played great against a tough defense today.

We gave up 26 to the f'ing Titans in ARROWHEAD.

I doubt we hold Detroit under 30.

**gblowfish** · 12-16-2007, 08:41 PM

I had to remove Glenn Cadrez for two reasons:

1) That's 12 players. We get penalized on every play (not too far removed from reality) and

2) They still haven't been able to remove his nose from Greg Robinson's ass.

The Jags remind me alot of the Chiefs circa 1990 - 97.

Their D is tough and can probably beat any team, but the offense ist quite high powered enough to beat the really elite teams.

You are pretty much reinforcing my point......for all that, as good as he's been this year. Do you think they can win a bowl.....is he a top 5 elite QB that can beat Tom Brady or Peyton Manning? That's all that needs to be asked...

Those QB's are going to be in this league for many more years with those teams sitting on top, until you have a player/team that you feel is on their level that can beat them, you play for nothing.

And the Chiefs still didn't win the Superbowl in the 90's when the AFC was weaker and no offense resembled what NE or Indy does now...it's even more difficult to win like that now.

Sure he can just like Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson did. You don't have to have an elite QB to win a SB but it sure doesn't hurt.

How many Mannings or Bradys are there??? We have no hope ever with that phylosophy.. Damn I thought I was doom and gloom,but I do not believe those teams are unbeatable. I think you can beat both with a very good running game and a very good defense..Shit if we need to have a top 5 QB then we might as well forfeit all our games till Gods Manning and Brady retire???
