TMQ:

Sweet Play of the Week: Pittsburgh leading 7-0, the Steelers had a first-and-10 on the Chiefs' 47. Pittsburgh ran a sweet-looking play in which Ben Roethlisberger faked the hitch pass right, then faked a handoff up the middle, then threw deep to the unguarded Nate Washington on the skinny post -- touchdown, and the walkover was on. Not only did Kansas City defensive back Greg Wesley let Washington go deep, not even attempting to cover him; not only was Wesley making the high school mistake of "looking into the backfield" trying to guess the play rather than guarding his man; check the tape of what happened once Wesley turned and realized Washington was behind him. Wesley merely stood there and watched the touchdown, jogging a little in the general direction after it was too late. This is the sort of defensive esprit de corps that would later in the game result in Kansas City taking over the mantle of TMQ's Single Worst Play of the Season So Far (see below).

Single Worst Play of the Season So Far: Relax, San Francisco, previous holder of this distinction: It is now held by Kansas City. Leading 21-0 in the first half, Pittsburgh had second-and-6 on the Chiefs' 13. The Steelers lined up with a tight end, fullback and receiver Hines Ward bunched tight right. At the snap, the tight end ran an out into the flat, the fullback ran an "arrow" route into the flat behind the tight end, and Ward ran straight up the field and turned around. Kansas City's defense did not react in any way to Ward, simply leaving alone the opponent's most dangerous weapon: Touchdown. Rookie safety Jarrad Page made the wrong decision, double-teaming another Steeler, while the boastful Ty Law, the corner on that side, stood like a topiary covering no one at all. Middle linebacker Kawika Mitchell also was near Ward and decided his time was best spent covering no one. Three guys available and none of them reacted to the opposition's best threat: The Single Worst Play of the Season So Far.

The sad part is, that was the featured 4pm TV game. Not everybody saw it but a good portion of the country... so just like the Tiki Barber game last year, that's what people will remember us for. Despite the fact this defense has gotten better for the most part, our big eggs have all come in "national" games... Philly and NYG games last year, and the Pittsburgh game this year.

Dudes, face it we suck, People including the NFL Execs, Fans and media are tired of Carl Peterson... Until we clean house of this Tool bag and his sorry staff, including Herm. We will always be the brunt of the jokes of the NFL, Media and anything else you can think of.

His act is tiring and has completely wore out.

Is sucks to be a Chiefs fan, but hey its better than a Raider fan.

I still can't believe that play. I was watching it live and I was screaming at the TV. How the hell does one of your DL bring down the running back 30 yards downfield?
I think Allen was the only guy on the team that showed up.

As evidenced by today's firings, most teams would not put up with the slack-ass performance that Wesley displayed, but in KC, he's allowed to stay and keep a starting job for 7 years.

We'll just have to make the rest of the league forget it!

I couldn't believe what I was seeing on that play. I wonder what Jared's 40 time is? I know he has speed, He continually makes tackles on the other side of the field.

Wesley is getting way to familiar and comfortable with that play.

Remember though, Davenport was distracted looking for a closet to poop in on that run.

Sunday's game is what happens when you combine our last years' defense withthis years' offense.

I can see the NFL Channel highlight commercial for the next 365 in my head.

Davenport isn't exactly speedy. It's not so amazing that Allen ran him down as it was sad that no other Chief was giving chase.

Jack · 10-17-2006, 08:09 PM

Someone rename this thread. . .

"Abandon ship!. . .jump off the bandwagon quick before we are accused of being Chief fans. . .where's that damn paper sack?"

Oh thee of little faith. One game where they stink up the place and it's all over. If you can't stand a bloody nose, go home and crawl under your bed. You will feel safe there.
