As soon as Derek Anderson came into the game...

[Otis99]

I knew we were going to lose.

Call me crazy, but it seems like every time we knock a team's starting quarterback out of the game, the backup comes in and torches us. The one I am thinking of off the top of my head is last year with JP Losman in Buffalo, but I know it's happened more than that. Like, over the years we have faired very poorly against backup quarterbacks.

[plbrdude]

it's a curse

[Mecca]

Our players are to stupid to know anything about the backup QB, apparently unless they specifically gameplan for someone they know nothing.

[Direckshun]

This stuff is a hell of a lot more convincing when you say it *when* the guy comes in.

If you say it after the Browns win you come across as petty and dumb.

So stop being petty and dumb.

[KCFalcon59]

Frye was eating us alive while he was in the game. It didn't matter. We suck and made these guys look good.

[Hammock Parties]

Anderson didn't really do anything amazing. We just missed tackles and got suckered into stupid plays like that shovel pass. That was a HUGE play.

I was saying it *when* the guy came in, while I was sitting on the couch watching the game with my friends. I wasn't going to run up to my computer, log onto ChiefsPlanet, and post something then because I was busy watching the game.

Guess you'll just have to take my word for it. As soon as they made a QB change, I turned to the guy next to me and said "we are going to lose this game".

Welcome to Chief fandom, I must have said it 5 or 6 times to the wife. Let me see... when the defense couldn't stop anyone... when the back-up QB came in.... and I believe 3 times when we were going into overtime, even when we won the toss.

[Rain Man]

I've recognized this curse, too. The worse the quarterback, the better they play against us. It always seems to happen.

Yep. Because of the Chiefs, Kelly Holcomb is a pretty rich guy.

[bkkcoh]

I think it is difficult to prepare for a QB for an entire week and then all of a sudden, they knock the starting QB out and the back up comes in.

Their is a different attitude when the back up comes in. When that happens, the defense needs to have a killer attitude against him. And that didn't happen successfully. How long did it take for KC to get a sack.

Granted, it seemed like Hali was held on quite a few plays that weren't called, it would have made a hige difference in the game. There was a couple of none calls on defensive pass interference, especially on Dante.

What a joke!!!!!

[Reerun_KC]

Since 1998 we have made alot of scrub QB's very very rich...

We are the Career Day Defense and that is something the Chiefs hold dear to them.

[Deberg_1990]

I honestly had never heard of Derrick Anderson before today, and i watch alot of football. Had anyone else ever heard of this guy?

[trndobrd]

I had the same feeling that it was all over....except it was when cRyan Sims came in the game.

Sometimes, I hate it when I'm right:

From the game thread....

Anderson better not go Holcumb on us.

He was a decent shooting guard for a Blazers a few years ago...just signed with the Bobcats. A Kentucky product, IIRC. :shrug:

[BWillie]

Can someone tell me why Gun didn't blitz Anderson more..or if really any that I recall? It is like we just sat back and said ok we are up 28-14, lets just let them move down the field at will and hope they won't score twice before the game is over. I really think Anderson would of shit himself a few times if we would of railed him more. Look at that one play where we sent Key Fox in, Anderson didn't even look over and got whacked...

Enter 'maque to say we blitzed 40% of the time....

I sat down to watch it again, and I can't...we blitzed alot today, just like we always do - ineffectively.

But I'll concede because I'm not watching that ****ing game again.

Everyone knows about him now. :banghead: :cuss: :banghead:

It must of happened to only happen when they ran the ball, cuz I just don't remember it too much.

That's the thing, alot of times you don't even realize we're blitzing because the blitzes are SO BAD. I've never seen a team that misses more tackles in the backfield on blitzes...

Maybe the Huskers yesterday. :deevee: :banghead:

The Chiefs abandoned the blitz at around the 10 minute mark in the 4th quarter. They got burned bad on the long shovel pass (where they telegraphed the blitz) and then didn't blitz again the entire quarter. (I believe the next time they did blitz was the Fox sack in OT).

The play right before the shovel pass is funny, because it is an example of a horrible blitz. Law comes off the corner and just dances instead of making contact with the HB.

They clearly weren't getting pressure with the front 4 but Gun tried to play it safe and make the Browns earn the yards. They did so easily without any pressure.

It's clear that Hali has hit the rookie wall and the interior DL, for the 9th straight year, can't collapse the pocket.

I did. DA is a great QB if he has time. I wish I had Gunther's cell number because, after watching DA for 3+ years, I could have told him that DA tends to fold under pressure. Hit him a few times and the rush gets into his head; he will start doing really stupid things (at least at OSU he did that. The Browns might have fixed it).

I honestly had never heard of Derrick Anderson before today, and i watch alot of football. Had anyone else ever heard of this guy?

You should have heard of him. I lobbied hard on here before the draft a couple of years ago for the Chiefs to draft him as their QBOTF. DA has tons of talent (he either owned or was second behind Elway a lot of PAC-10 passing records when he left OSU). He just needed a couple of years of seasoning on the bench. The running he did just amazed me as that was never part of his game as OSU. He would try to run and then trip over his size 17 feet.

The Oregon State alumni part of me is thrilled that DA finally got a chance in the NFL and did well. The Chiefs fan part of me is pissed as hell that it was against the Chiefs. :#

This is known throughout the NFL as the "Scott Mitchell Syndrome".

[Sure-Oz]

Any QB in the NFL given time can look good. Anderson may just have gotten his only career win right there hehe

[Radar Chief]

Don’t know ‘bout “40%”, but I saw lots of blitzing that just didn’t get there.

If I had film of this game, I'd burn it.

No- and the only way you'll hear about him in the future is if Cleveland plays the Chiefs again. :banghead:
