First Time I've Had to Rant This Year. 10 Things:

[gblowfish]

I just woke up from my post game nap, and I still feel restless and disgusted. Here's ten random thoughts from today's embarrassment:

1) I went in from the tailgate at 11:30am, and had no trouble getting in. I mean I waltzed right in. Line was not nearly as long as usual. I think the no-shows are starting, and that should be a worry for King Carl. There were noticeable sections of empty seats upstairs today.

2) There were not nearly as many Donk fans this week as Cheese Heads last week. Donk fans are not traveling to support their team nearly like in years past. Not that that bothers me. The less Denver fans in Arrowhead, the better.

3) Damon Huard is a quitter. After a shaky first half -throwing into double and triple coverage time and time again, he came out and wet his pants at the start of the second half. Pick...subsequent Donk TD.....fumble...immediate Donk TD. He went to the bench and sat out because of a sore neck. Real competitors wouldn't give up their starting spot unless they were carted off the field. Looked to me like he was content to let Brodie try to clean up the mess. Think he'll be fine holding a clipboard the rest of the way, or until our O-Line gets Brodie killed.

4) Eddie Drummond is a classless punk. He has no idea how to go north-south on a return. In the 2nd half he was late getting to a punt, picked up the ball and wobbled out of bounds on his own 10 yard line. After that, he came to the sidelines and gave the finger to fans who were giving their opinion of him. You have to ignore that razz, it comes with the job. Flipping the bird to fans is something a A-Hole player - like Jake Plummer for example - does from the sideline. Bad form.

5) Kyle Turley is another classless and clueless player. After Brodie got thrown on his head on 4th down on the final "drive," fans were giving the offense the business. Hey, no TDs in an entire home game will do that. Turley told the crowd to "Shut the fuck up...You have no idea what's going on out there." Uh, yeah we do Kyle. You just got your ass handed to you at home by the crappiest Denver team in 20 years or more, You Shut the fuck Up. We know exactly what's going on out there. And by the way, when we spend over a hundred bucks for ticket and parking, we can say whatever we want. And we plan to. Get used to it.

6) This O-Line today was as bad as any O-Line the Chiefs threw out there during the dark days of the 1980s. Chris Terry is awful. Welborne is awful. Kyle Turley thinks you have no idea what's gong on out there. Line them all up and shoot them now. I'm embarrassed for Brian Waters. It wouldn't surprise me if he wanted to go free agent and get the hell outta here.

7) Jared Allen and Tamba Hali can't defend the cut back run. Both guys gave up huge yardage because they got pinched inside and gave up the cutback run. You think Gunther would figure that out. Denver's used cut backs and mis-direction since Shanna-Rat's been head coach. Ty Law and Patrick Surtain have both had their shelf life expire at the same time. Both guys give up a ten yard cushion on every play. We must replace both of them next year. We give up third and long way too often, and have, the whole season.

8) Herm Edwards is destroying any "Arrowhead Mystique" that may have once existed. We keep losing at home. The Jacksonville loss was bad. Green Bay loss was worse. How you could lay an egg at home against your biggest rival is beyond me. I don't think the players understand what Denver - KC game means to Chiefs fans. Losing like this, to this particular version of the Broncos, basically their JV squad, is just flat out embarrassing. Herm is as hard headed as Marty was. He just can't win enough to deflect the critics.

9) Look for more empty seats in the remaining home games. Carl is already schmoozing for 2008 season ticket sales, it was all over the jumbo tron today. Once again proving, it's all about the dollar signs.

10) If Clark Hunt doesn't make some moves in the front office in the off-season,then he'll be just as guilty as his old man of complacency. Show some stones, and do more than just ride the money carousel.

Whew...
I don't really feel that much better.
God I hate Denver.

And I think calling this the "Jayhawk Lounge" has put a terrible jinx on us.
Please change that, and right away.

Clark didn't pour $150 million into the renovations out of his own family's pocket to see a shitty product on the field.

If the team doesn't start winning...CARL IS GONE.

6-7 wins has always kept fans hoping because we are usually in it until the last couple weeks. This is a reason Carl has kept his job for so long.

Actually 6-10 was the record in Vermiel's first year...it got us the coveted spot to draft Ryan Sims.

I hope this team loses from here on out, gets Brodie some experience and puts itself in position to draft an OT.

Go out and give Faneca what he wants. Look into Lilja.

Lastly, find an offensive line coach, or demote Solari back to there and find a true OC.

[The Bad Guy]

Excellent analysis. Fans know exactly what's going on out there. Kyle Turley is robbing a paycheck. I don't think Herm is destroying Arrowhead, I think an aging team, shitty drafts from 2000-2005, and poorly distributed FA dollars has hurt this team. Surtain probably will stay one more year, but Law has to go. The Chiefs have to find a way to sign Faneca from the Steelers, move McIntosh to RT and somehow get a functional LT.

Good points. The franchise is a complete trainwreck right now - period.

Very interesting points regarding Drummond and Turley. This shouldn't be happening. Obviously you have seats directly behind the Chiefs' bench?

Yep. Sec 119, Row 1, 49 yard line.
Attached is a shot from a couple years ago. The older bald guy lower center is Willie Lanier.

I see and hear a lot down there. I can also tell who give's a rat's ass and who doesn't.

Today about the only guys who looked like the really gave a rat's ass were Allen, Edwards, DJ, Pollard and Wesley on Defense,

Priest Holmes on offense.

That's probably not an objective assessment. I'm still pissed off.

Very cool. How often do you get/see reactions from players directed at the crowd? I was of the understanding that this would be a rare occurrence, no?

Dude, I was sitting in row 37 of section 304 and I could have given you the same assessment.

You could tell the Chiefs just didn't bring any heart today. Holmes ran as hard as he could, Edwards and DJ created as much problems as they could, and Wesley showed the Chiefs-Broncos intensity that the rest of the team lacked. Allen was up, too, but that's pretty much a constant with him.

The rest of the team just showed nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Worst game I have ever attended.

By the way -- you should have one of these posts after every home game, I'd love more of a feel of how things are in row 1 right behind the Chiefs' bench.
