Ten Things From Today's Game

[gblowfish]

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.

I created a thread for stupid comments like this.

Mike Cloud was pimp

Tickets selling on the secondary market for under $5 do wonders for attendance.

My God dude this team couldn't win with ANY hall of fame QB!!!

#1 I would have guessed 40 k at the most.

[Halfcan]

#3 Yep- He just does not seem to get upset that his receivers are dropping balls. Marino would have grabbed the guy by the face mask and rubbed hi nose in the football like a dog that shit in the house.

Get some balls Brodie.

Yes, im sure Marino was doing that in his 4th NFL start.

Big Ben did it, Brady, Brett, Manning. I guess what I am saying is that Brodie has not made this HIS team.

I mean you just choke the game away again-throw your helmet or something-don't just sit down and hide.

It isn't his team. It's Carl, Herm, and Curl's team. Everyone knows it.

So we need a Prick at QB??

As far as Brodie goes, you've committed to him this year, so I think you have to go into next year with him as your starter. He'll either hack it, or get hurt, as his history has yet to show he can get through a season healthy. We're not going anywhere next year either, so this year load up on offensive linemen and cornerbacks, see if he can play next year, and if he can't draft a QB for 2009 with our sure to be high first round pick after the 2008 season.

That's why the reason I said early during the season that he should be starting right out of the bat. You won't know what kind of QB's you will have until at least one to two full seasons.

Even that, Croyle performed well, despite the setbacks. There were many times that he was in the pocket where all hell was breaking lose, and he didn't pull a fetal position.

So to be fair with him, how about we give him some linemen who can block, and some receivers who will be willing to catch the ball.

Or that fact, how about some DB's who will cover? Ty Law and Pat Surtain are becoming worse than Burntee and Crispy, shall we say?
