Excited about watching Croyle, could give two shits about the Chiefs losing to Indy

[Logical]

How many of you feel the same way?

[irishjayhawk]

How many of you feel the same way?

I

[Chiefs Pantalones]

I honestly don't care if we win the rest of our games. I just want to see this organization try to develop a young QB. If that makes us better next year over this year, that's ok.

[kcxiv]

I have had the same attitude since game 1. I knew we werent going to go far this year. We are rebuilding. Brodie is in and now we may even get to see Sippio play.

I am ok with rebuilding.

[Micjones]

I still care about this team winning and losing games.

[Reaper16]

Play the young guys. We're not the Patriots, so we're not doing shit this season. I don't give a damn if we win or lose any of the rest of the games this season. As long as we're actually developing talent for the future, that is.

So yeah, I feel the same as you.

[Chiefs=Champions]

I’m for the first time all year excited to watch our offense play. Its gonna be great watching croyle tomorrow. However like always im hoping for a win, but this week a loss may be bearable.

[KC_Connection]

I haven't even really considered the possibility that we could win.

[Chris Meck]

Oh, we could win. If ever there were a time in this season in which we could beat the Colts, it would be now.

That being said, I don't expect to.

But I DO expect a Croyle led offense to have more juice than Huard. Brodie can/will throw downfield. This means the safeties had better play honest. This will help loosen up the 'box'.

Nobody respected Huard's deep game. When his decision-making proved suspect, it was the end for him.

[Fairplay]

This is a rebuilding year, even Herm said so. Getting the win really doesn't matter. If we win it would be cool i guess. But i doubt we will.

Lets go for the draft pick.

This season is meaningless anyway from a W-L point of view. We just don't have the team to get anywhere in the playoffs.

[MavKC]

I honestly don't care if we win the rest of our games. I just want to see this organization try to develop a young QB. If that makes us better next year over this year, that's ok.


This is exactly what I think.

[gacoltdog]

Hello Chiefs fans. I hope we see a great game today with no new injuries to either team. Good luck to Brodie Croyle on his 1st NFL start. I lived in Denver for 20 years and had to put up with the obnoxious Donks fans. Now I live near Atlanta, and Falcons fans are pretty quiet right now. I've been a Colts fan for over 40 years. I was cheering for the Chiefs last week against the Donks, but it was a rough day for both our teams. :banghead:

If Croyle learns quickly, he could be the best qb in the West. Cutler and Rivers are still struggling and learning, and Russell will probably be another Raiders bust ;)

Not sure who all will be playing for the Colts today, but losing Freeney was a sad loss. Our D has really improved starting with the playoff game last year against your Chiefs. Hopefully Rice can contribute, but he's pretty old.

[Micjones]

Croyle won't earn the respect of opposing defenses until he proves that he can make good decisions. A live arm won't do it alone.

[chris]

How many of you feel the same way?


Never OK to accept losing. Wrong mentality.

[KcMizzou]

I haven't even really considered the possibility that we could win.That's because you're a Raider fan.

[boogblaster]

The Golden-Boy will shine today ... KC by 3 ....

[mikey23545]

There is never, <i>never</i> a week the Chiefs are playing that I don't care if they win or lose.

What a disgusting attitude by a bunch of born losers.

[BigMeatballDave]

There is never, <i>never</i> a week the Chiefs are playing that I don't care if they win or lose.

What a disgusting attitude by a bunch of born losers.At this point its not about winning, this season. Winning now is just icing on the cake. I'm ecstatic that, for the 1st time in 20+ years, I get to see the Chiefs develop a young QB. Nobody wants to lose this game.

[kcgizmo]

Why would you except anything but a win, we must go into Indy thinking we can win, I do agree that with a new QB that it may be differcult, but he is not the only guy on this team, the rest of the team needs to step up and make things happen. I am glad to see Brodie get the start, but just think if the chiefs when this game how much sweeter it will be, and where this team may go this year. Positive attitude = Positive Results

[NUMBER7]

Exactly I would have loved to have these clowns as my teammates. These are the same morons that kept yelling Broadie!, Broadie!, Broadie! when Huard threw a bad pass (while we were winning). Well you have your wish...the kid who could not win the job in preseason starts today. Let's hope for the sake of the Planet BC can do something beside puke on himself like he did in preseason against the Saints. The Chiefs are out of playoff picture and we are rebuilding. Maybe we can draft a true QB next year.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I don't think ANYBODY ecpects the Chiefs to win today. The Colts are at home and coming off two straight losses. That being said we all Want the chiefs to win because if we really didn't then we really wouldn't be Chiefs fans. I just hope Brodie shows us he's a future QB that this franchise can build on. Go Brodie! Go Priest! Go Bowe! Go Defense!

[the Talking Can]

a win would be awesome tasty gravy on a open face Croyle-plays-well sandwich...

[Reerun_KC]

After watching Mr Folding Fetal for 8 1/2 weeks wobble launch his way to the bench, I cant wait to see Croyle..

Who cares about winning or losing this season. We should of been rebuilding from the start instead of wasting a 1/2 a season...

Stupid Coach and Management.

[StcChief]

Brodie era starts today..... Light 'em up....

[Rasputin]

Even tho we lost to the donkies and we have not had anything to hang our hats on. This is the most exited I've been all season. I think the Donkies did us a favor last week nocking out Huard. It is unfortunate that he had to leave that way, but our HC was too stuburn to make the change.

Our offense has looked like crap all season. If it wasn't for Brodie, this game would be nothing, but a L. With Brodie I think he gives us a fighting chance to stay in this game till the very end and who knows?

I am JACKED UP for this game. Brodie to D Bowe. Brodie to Tony Gonzo. Brodie to SIPPIOOOOO. Jeff Webb returning kicks!!! Hellz yea we are gonna kick it today. :rockon: :arrow:

[Spott]

I'm pretty apathetic about todays game. We are gonna get killed and Croyle probably won't look good making his first start on the road against the Super Bowl champs.

[PHOG]

I'm hoping that BC shows enough today and the rest of the season to allow the front office to focus on other areas of the team next offseason.

[Eleazar]

I just want to see Croyle grow. The rest of the season I'm treating like preseason games... because they basically are...

[JBucc]

I'm excited to see Croyle but you should still want to win. Winning can only help him.

[PHOG]

I'm excited to see Croyle but you should still want to win. Winning can only help him.

Oh yeah, would definately like to see a win too.

[DeezNutz]

I would like to be excited about watching Croyle play, but my guess is that the coaching staff is going to be overly concerned with two things:

1.) Not getting him killed. Thus tons of three-step drops and chicken shit left/chicken shit right passes
2.) Not allowing him to turn the ball over on the road. Thus more short, short routes, etc.

I don't think Herm is going to let Croyle really "play" until the game is out of hand, unfortunately.

[Coach]

I do hope that the Chiefs can win this game, but my concern is how Croyle will perform.

I am hoping that he does put up a respectful performance.

[BigMeatballDave]

[stevieray]

...beating Manning on the road in his first start?

let's put it this way..he'll be tearing it uo when he gets home.

[evolve27]

I feel that way and it's easy to say right now, but while watching the game it get's pretty intense and I always want a Chiefs W.

I thought all the True Fans had been shamed into hiding.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I thought all the True Fans had been shamed into hiding.

At least he matched his screen name to his IQ.

[OnTheWarpath15]

99% of the board chalked this game up as a loss when it came out on the schedule, now those same folks are crucifying those of us who just want to see the organization build for the future, win or lose?

Makes sense.

[NUMBER7]

No clue at all...good luck junior...with the smack.

[milkman]

I think that even those who say they don't care about a loss really do care.

However, they've accepted the fact that this is very likely a lost season, especially considering the fact that the Chiefs stayed with the wobble launcher for so long.

What happens in this scenario is that we root for a win, but with no expectation for that win.

The difference is that we finally have something to look froward to, a chance to see a young QB with potential upside, as opposed to a career noodle arm backup who doesn't give us any hope.

I'll root for the Chiefs to win.

A loss today, however, won't be a total loss, and thus not nearly so bitter.

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Same here ... I'm just watching to watch football, not expecting a W in the least

[Katie]

So what exactly constitutes a "successful" day by Croyle? Good decision making, few turnovers, passing yards?

[milkman]

He's going to get beat up.
He's going to make mistakes.

What you want to see from him is his confidence intact, and progress mentally from game to game.

Any expectation for a good game today is only a dream.

[Crashride]

I dont give a **** who the QB is anymore. We are only one game down in our division from leading and we have a good division record. Thats all I see. Lets win this shit.

[Deberg_1990]

He's going to get beat up.

"Is Croyle a bust?"


"Its official..we need to draft a 1st round QB next year"

It's unrealistic to expect your young QB to play well?
Our standards are dangerously low right now.

Let some fans around Chiefs Kingdom tell it and Croyle won't have to prove anything, to anybody, before next season.

This is the NFL.

I'll reserve judgment until he's played these last 7 games.
At that point a decision must come down.

If he has played well... Give him one full season (2008) to step into those QBOTF shoes. If he doesn't play well...
Draft someone or look to find a QB in FA.

You're probably right.

That's the way some people are.

I won't be one of those people.

I'll wait to see how he progresses from game to game, and get a better idea as to how how he's shaping up by the end of the season.

I honestly don't believe that 7 games is enough to really evaluate his growth.

We can get an idea of how he holds up mentally, though.

That aspect of his development is probably the most crucial.

[Otter]

I feel the exact same way. Just wish I didn't have to go to a sports bar on a shitty rainy afternoon to watch him.

Go Brodie!

Way to put words in my mouth.
Having expectations isn't exactly rushing to judgment.
I expect Croyle to play well...
But I won't simply "abandon ship" if he doesn't today...

He has time to earn his stripes.
6 more games after today...

[Marcellus]

I am extremely excited to see Croyle start. This is almost like a playoff game to me. While I don't expect a win, I expect the team to show up and compete. I want a win and if we are in it and lose it stupidly I will be pissed.

If we lose but play respectable I will deal with it. We need to win the winnable games and even if we lose this game we could still win the division and we should do everything we can to win it.
Whoever says we should play for draft picks is insane.

[RckabillyRaider]

Good luck to your rookie QB. I actually hope he and Beck in Miami do well, so Kiffin would not be so hesitant to start our future in Russell! Even though I think Russell might see action today.

One of the pregame shows said Kiffin is planning to start JR in two weeks against Denver.

Too bad we're gonna miss him.

:p

[Inspector]

Excited to see the new era finally start but still rooting for a win. That's part of my overall gametime fun.

I agree with this assessment. I feel that a QB needs at least 1 year minimum to 3 full years max to fully evaluate his growth.

[ROYC75]

How many of you feel the same way?

Indy after losing 2 in a row will eat him alive !

It will be a fugly game to watch.

Absolutely.

[Easy 6]

Sheriff Croyle paces thoughtfully across the jailhouse office, he knows what looms ahead...the Colt gang has it in for him, petty thieves & rustlers to be sure, but dangerous nonetheless. As he reaches for his gunbelt, he feels a twinge in his gut...is it nerves, or its uglier, meaner older brother fear??? naahhh, he tells himself...he knows what he has to do, he's been preparing for this moment his entire life...ever since Pa handed him his first gun.

He straps the belt on tight, guns loaded & hanging 6 inches down his hips...just like Pa taught him. He steps out into the deserted streets, the only sounds, his spurs clanking across the wooden walk & a lonely wolf howling lament in the distance. He takes a hard look down the streets, desolate & empty...or so it seems. But he knows, yup, he knows the shadows arent alone.

With a booming & confident voice he calls out "alright you rotten sonsabitches, here i am, you wanted it...well, YOU GOT IT". The gang, 11 in all, hunker down in their hides...behind the trough, the roof of the general store & cathouse, the alley next to the mill & seemingly every other dark corner. Only their leader, the infamous "Crazy Horse Sanders" dares step into the open as he laughs a wicked laugh & says "this town be ours sheriff, say your prayers". He doesnt quite get "prayers" spit out before Sheriff Croyle, fast as an angry mountain lion, pulls his blued steel & cranks off 2 shots that send Crazy Horse scurrying for the shadows.

Croyle quickly ducks into the livery as the cold night air rings out with a cacophony of crackling hot lead. BLAM BLAM as "Horseshoe Hayden" falls dead behind the trough, BLAM BLAM & "Jericho Jackson" keels off the roof of the cathouse. BLAM BLAM...BLAM BLAM BLAM as one after another drops into agonizing death. Now, its just he & Crazy Horse as Brodie steps from the barn "alright Sanders ya yellabellied coward come & get yers". But Crazy Horse has already mounted his stolen steed & races like mad for the hills, now, nobody ever acused the Sheriff of being cold-blooded, but he just cant resist a long distance shot at this brigand...steadying his breath & iron in one smooth motion he pulls ever so gently on the trigger...BLAM...as Sanders lurches in his saddle & falls from his ride stone dead.

He didnt start this fight, but by God he finished it...he smiles to himself & saunters over to the saloon for a celebratory bottle of Red-Eye.

There WILL be Law & Order in this town...or his name isnt Sheriff Brodie Croyle.

Anybody who makes a long-term judgment about Croyle based on this game should be handed a one-month suspension from ChiefsPlanet.

[Sure-Oz]

I care if we win or lose and how croyle does.

[patteeu]

1) I'm excited about seeing Croyle play today.

2) I still care about whether the Chiefs win

3) I just hope that all the impatient planeteers (you know, the ones who are already griping that Carl Peterson hasn't taken us to the promised land) don't turn against Croyle the first time he throws 3 INTs in a game and prevents us from winning.

Peyton Manning is on my fantasy team, and my opponent is my only previous loss of the season.... So, while I hope the Chiefs don't embarrass themselves (which isn't "Croyle looks awful""), I need to win this week, too LMAO

[LanceHunter]

Cool we get to see the same lame Solari play calling no matter who is the QB. At least Huard hasn't thrown 6 interceptions like Manning did last week. Is it obvious that Holmes isn't the same? Good thing the Jayhawks are playing well or there would be no joy in mudville. Let's start sayin it now, just wait till next year......... the Chiefs will be great ..... lets keep repeating that, at least until all the season tickets are sold hehehehe !
