Chiefs Chiefs at Cards Observations - Page 2

Well, I had great seats in row 11 right behind the team. Here are some thoughts on my experience.

1. There were a LOT of Chiefs fans there which was very impressive. What was NOT impressive is how dead they were. Looked like they passed out Valium to everyone -no energy, very little cheering. I know it’s preseason, but I’ve never seen Chiefs fans so disengaged.

2. I’ve seen some comments on various threads about the Mahomes/Hardman chemistry and maybe they don’t get along. Not from what I observed. They spent quite a bit of time on the sideline in discussion after an offensive series and it looked like they were having good, productive conversation. I didn’t notice any animosity displayed in their body language or mannerisms.

3. Why keep Key over Parks? Well, Key did give up another touchdown, but the coverage really wasn’t bad and the QB throw was spot on. Also, he might be making some mistakes but the guy is ALWAYS around the ball and knows how to tackle which is something we have historically had trouble with. He needs experience but will improve with time.

4. Orlando Brown is frickin huge! He made Patrick look dwarfish and Tyreek an absolute munchkin when they were lined up on the sideline together.

5. I was miffed with Thompson after his bone headed play in San Francisco but he was on fire Friday night. Guy looked like a player. All hurdling aside.

6. Robinson wins the Dancing with the Stars award. Two steps back and one step forward.

7. There was one tailgate in the lot I parked in and it was Chiefs fans….go figure.

8. Andy needs to get that hip fixed. It is clearly an issue.

9. Buechele, I think, gets the nod over Gordon because he seems to have a better grasp of the offense. He also doesn’t get rattled easily. Went right to the bench with Patrick and Andy after the interception to study and discuss.

10. No swinging going on but I did have a drunk chick come up to me in the bar afterwards asking me if I like women. I think she even had a hand on my husband when she asked?

On to Minnesota, go Chiefs!

Did Orlando Brown look huge next to Chris Jones, from a female perspective of course?

Told her that I had a lot of women FRIENDS. And no, she was not remotely hot. She actually was so drunk, she left the bar and passed out on the sidewalk. Her father-in-law was sitting next to us so we helped him look for her. Not her finest hour, I don’t think.

Didn’t get to see Edave, think he had a date….

If a person hits on you and then passes out, technically they consented. You had an open runway there.

The CP Phoenix Meetup Group is the only one that counts!

So, weird thing... I went to click on the Phoenix facebook group and I get:

Code:

www.facebook.com is blocked
www.facebook.com refused to connect.
ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE

Chrome and Firefox (and I'm not logged into FB on Firefox). I tried another one (St. Louis) and it seemed to work in Firefox, but still blocked in Chrome.

What I found in limited curiosity is none of the groups (facebook.com/groups/gochiefshoorayarizona) work and the facebook pages (facebook.com/gochiefshooraynewyork) only work in Firefox. Also, Virginia links to a mobile group page, so it works in Firefox.

In slightly less limited curiosity, I didn't see anything weird in the developer tools, but there are Google results related to this issue that point to weird html issues and other things.

I also cleared cache/cookies from Firefox with no change in results, so I'm pretty sure it's not my browsers (and since some of links work and others don't). Could just be me or else you may need DaFace to fix your shit.

You guys sounded pretty damned loud from the other side and home of the Chieeeeffffs was loud as hell. I sure don't care for indoor football. There's no substance to it. Too much reverb.

On the first 4th down conversion I stood up and threw my arms up in celebration and quickly remembered where I was as sat back down and looked around sheepishly. A couple of guys were, like, it's cool. We wish we were you. or something to that affect.

I mean I agree and wish his catch radius was huge like maybe someone else who was available at that pick.

That said I am confident that they will work out how to get the ball into Mecole's hands because even the biggest Hardman detractor will admit that once it is in his grasp he has the ability to go yard. Now the other guy that I didn't mention has that same ability but we could have done worse.

It's not us. Appears to be a Facebook issue, Developer is working on fixing Facebooks shit.

You can right click on the link, open in new tab and it takes you right there. which is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AZChiefsFans
Hotchy the leader and founder is helping us get every thing set up in Arrowhead Kingdom.

Interesting (but not surprising, FB is a shitshow)... I always wheel-click to open a new tab for links and that wasn't working last night, but did notice it worked if I opened it in a new incognito tab or of course copied/pasted the URL into a new tab. I hadn't checked last night, but also works from Chrome to shitty FB app on my phone.

The simplest things in IT will sometimes drive you nuts.
