Yipee!!!
1. Clark Hunt has to be the dumbest, out of touch or most patient owner in the history of the league. Can you recall in recent NFL history a coach that has this type of job security after having lost 15 out of the last 16 games? I can maybe grasp the idea of not firing him, but there isn't even a sign that he is on the hot seat.
2. Offensive pass interference on Tony Gonzalez has to be the most ironic call in the history of sport. I would say 30-50% of the time Tony does push to get separtion, but if you took into account the level of holding and hacking he has to fight through, 100% of the time it's a wash. Just ridiculous.
3. Herm still bungles time mangement like no other. After the Bucs 10 second wind down, the clock restarts. The Bucs are in a hurry, still 30 yards from the endzone and no time outs remaining. So Herm gives them one. Still have feelings for the old stomping grounds, Herm? Idiot.
4. This team's biggest holes are on the defensive side of the ball--not offensive. Thigpen, while not a Pro-Bowl QB, has shown flashes of decency for his fourth career start. The biggest holes are (in no particular order)--pass rusher, LB (2), nickel back, O-line. QB and WR are not holding this team back.
5. Raise your hand if you think Herm will stay with the spread offense. I do, but he won't like it. Not sure why, though. While it was costly, the Chiefs have only had 1 turnover the last two games, have put up good yardage and points and been fairly entertaining to boot. Thigpen and Charles are tailor-made for this offense and they need to keep at it.
6. It honestly wouldn't shock me if KC beat SD next week. SD's defense has been beyond bad this season--as bad or worse than KC's IMO. In those types of games, anything goes.
Check out KC's rookies:
1a. Dorsey--good, but not nearly as great as he probably can be.
1b. Albert--solid tackle, could improve into a monster
2 Flowers--the best pick of the draft for the Chiefs IMO.
3a. Charles--Is it the O-line or the running back? Charles has a 5.7 yards/carry average.
3b. Cottam--starting to contribute
Others:
Carr--playing solid
Savage--returning the ball OK. Nothing spectacular, but WAY better than Drummond
Barth--so far, so good.
I'd like to see Franklin and Morgan start playing better, but that is a solid draft class.
