Whitlocks Gambling advice: Take the Browns minus-2

Kansas City’s victory over the Chargers was a total fluke. Todd Haley and Scott Pioli refuse to showcase Jamaal Charles solely because Herm Edwards drafted him. KC’s front seven can’t pressure the quarterback. The rain and the sloppiness of Arrowhead Stadium’s grass stopped the Chargers. The Chiefs have no No. 1 receiver or quarterback

I think this is a big game for the Chiefs. (Duh.) But I think it's very specific. Your D looks much improved. Special teams are solid. I have faith in Pioli, Haley, and Crennel (and even Weis, but not as much). The lynchpin is Cassel. As much as I think he played well in New England, and as much grief as I get here for having his balls bouncing off my chin, this is really the put-up-or-shut-up game for him. He looked crappy in the opener, but had the usual excuses (the O-line "ole!" blocked on three of his first four attempts IIRC, receivers weren't holding onto the ball, then the weather went into the crapper). The forecast for Sunday in Ohio is 25-40% chance of light showers. Cleveland's D is mediocre. With the running game and defense and coaching, there's no excuses. The Chiefs should win, and Cassel's stat line should look much improved. If it isn't... He's dead to me.

Yeah, sure.

The fact that he is continued to slide forward when he tries to adjust to the ball has no affect on his ability to make that catch.

I know you know what you're talking about because you played high school QB.

Is Tribal Warfare your brother?

Maybe his route is only called for a 5 yard crossing pattern.
That's clearly Cassle's fault as JC was wide open the entire time.

On a 3rd and 7 or 8, you're only going to have him run a 5 yard crossing pattern when time is running out on the clock in the half and you're trying to get into better FG range?

Holy shit!

Actually intramural QB

So are you saying this is 100% JC's fault and not the bums'?

Yes I am.

That route, in that situation, has to be run beyond the first down marker.

The goal on that play is to get the first down and get out of bounds to stop the clock.

I think this is potentially as big as the Monday Night game. If they win, I think Arrowhead's packed again for the San Francisco game, and with the crowd behind them they have a real shot at a 3-0 start before they inevitably lose to Indianapolis and Houston. If they lose, I don't think people show for the 49ers game, and I think they're in a little more trouble.

So basically, a win makes them a 2-0 home team with some momentum. A loss makes them a 1-1 squad that won a fluke game (it wasn't, I don't think, but that's what it will be seen as) and is in the middle of yet another losing season.

The difference between people seeing change and signs of hope, or suffering through more of the same, that's what I think Sunday at Cleveland is.

Could be worse. The Jets did the same thing, on their last play of the game.

fatlock is just a bitter bitch

shut up already you pos!!!

[Halfcan]

Chiefs 31 Browns 10

Look for big returns to set up a lethal running game. Our D will be bringing the heat to delhommo or whatever retread they put back there.

GO CHIEFS!!!! 2-0 Baby!!!!

Road game, short week coming off an emotional win.



That's the stuff that gamblers' dreams are made of.

I think the ball was thrown too far ahead of him, or otherwise he could've stopped his momentum and turned upfield.

Again, that may be true, but it shouldn't matter if he runs that route to the marker.

That's not really how it works...

Vegas has moved the line accordingly and continues to move it as such...

I bet KC will be favored by Sunday...albeit by 1 or 2 points
