And, I'm not joking. He looks "dazed" most of the time. Seriously.

No, he was cross-eyed. He didn't look dazed, he looked concussed.

And for everybody suggesting that he wasn't hit hard enough, it's pretty obvious his head snapped back and hit the ground.

He's legitimately hurt. And it's a shame.

Because now they have an excuse to bring him back. AGAIN.

Here is today's game in a nutshell:

1. The offenses on both teams sucked.
2. The Chiefs turned the ball over 5 times, in Ravens territory.
3. Jamaal Charles rushed for up to 150 yards, but with no TD's.
4. Bowe's TD was called back because McCluster was whistled for holding.
5. Fans cheered when Cassell got hurt and apparently had Chiefs players torn on the supposed real reason they cheered.

10. This morning when I woke up, I had this weird feeling. Its the same feeling I have on mornings when I wake up and have to go to the dentist.
It's a real damn shame that going to Chiefs game should feel this way-same way I feel when I play golf with certain guys in my large group who do nothing but piss and moan about everything. It ruins my day off after a long hard week of work when all I want to do is relax and have fun.


9. First let me say, the Ravens were horrible today.
They sure were with so many dropped passes but I also have to give some props to our D who hung in despite the awful job of our offense and Mr Cassel.

8. Let's talk about offense first.
To me they look sloppy and disinterested because every drive ends the same way, in total failure! To be the only team in the NFL with 20 or so games in a row without a TD on the opening drive is a complete farce!

7. Major props to the defense today holding Baltimore to nine points and no TDs.
Justin Houston was a great pick and looks like he will be something special. Berry still looks like he has lost a step from his injury but overall our D came to play at a real high level. I saw Poe push back two lineman several times and tie them up.

6. Special teams were good today as well.
We have improved a lot since the first two games and that's a good thing for once.


5. The more I watch Kung Pao Panda as a head coach, the less I think of him.
The punt from BALTIMORE's 40 yd line with 12 seconds left in the half may be one of the worst coaches moves I've ever seen and they are still so slow at getting plays in. Time management also sucks

4. I think the pressure has finally gotten to Matty. He has regressed, a lot.
You would think it was impossible for him to get worse but he has. Everyone sees it but the Chiefs organization.

3. I'd also like to address the blow up that Winston had in the locker room after the game, saying that fans were "Cheering Cassel getting hurt." Well, that is about 98% bullshit.
The fact that Winston is so quick to think that the entire stadium was cherring Matt's injury shows you how sensitive everyone is with Cassel and the entire team knows we all think he sucks! I knew it was overblown bullshit from a frustrated lineman who should be APOLOGIZING TO US for the teams shitty play!

2. Many times in these ten things I've talked about the Chiefs in the 1980's under Bill Kenney. This game could have easily been 1983. So if you're a young guy, and want to know what it was like to be a Chiefs fan 25 years ago, today was it, baby.
I remember those games well and it was a painful time as a young Chiefs fan. All my friends liked the Cowboys and all they did were win, win, and win including playoffs and Superbowls.


1. Stick a fork in it. Look on the bright side; we won't have to spend any Christmas money on playoff tickets this year.
It's a terrible shame with all the talent on this team that Matt Cassel and some bad coaching has destroyed this season already. I think this will be a 4-12 or 5-11 year at best and that is a God damn shameful disgrace!!!

As always George, a great, thoughtful, and thorough review!!!

[alpha_omega]

As always...thanks George. In recent weeks, i look forward to your "10 things" more than i do the actual game itself.

And...i have a dentist appointment today. Damn.

[boogblaster]

bout all one can say ... its a process ....

I was in section 110 and there were vendors up and down the aisle all day. beer guys, cotton candy guy, 5 dollar hot chocolate guy, 10 dollar hot chocolate guy.

I never did figure out if 10 dollar hot chocolate guy had some schnapps or something in his or if he was just taking advantage of the people sitting in the shady areas.

Teams faking injuries to bench their starting QB is nothing new. It happens several times a year actually. This is the most politically-correct way to bench a QB now.

Can you prove this?

[Chiefnj2]

There really isn't anything about this team that I like right now. Romeo's approach to the game makes Herm look like a riverboat gambler. Romeo honestly seems happy to lose close games. Down 20 points in the 4th quarter, lets punt from the oppositions territory.

I haven't determined if Daboll is just following Romeo's lead or if he is just as gutless and clueless.

clay has the Pioli fail doc in his sig, so just read that

you can get way more in depth on how bad Pioli has been at drafting versus the few bright spots hes had, but I mean why waste anymore time on it. Pioli sucks, he was brought in to be this genius upgrade over Carl and you can make a solid argument that in 4 years he is worse for this franchise than Carl's 20 years.

A portion of the fanbase demonstrates some questionable judgment for 30 seconds.

Compared to a team that has demonstrated questionable judgment for 19 years.

Damn those fans and their impatience!

Carl had winning seasons, made big trades, drafted play makers, even with settling for veteran QBs.

Pioli has shown NONE of that. He will only settle for his buddies back up QBs. If you think Pioli is drafting Geno Smith you better wake up. Because when draft day comes you will be very, very, very disappointed, The Patriots Way.
