Who's Jacoby Ford?

A rookie who has Chris Johnson speed and simply ran past our best defensive player with no safety help over the top.

All day long.

Brandon's got the skills to cover him but I doubt there's more than 2-3 CBs in the league who are as fast as Ford. No adjustments from the coaches.

He was a world class sprinter at Clemson.

Listen, Flowers getting burnt by this guy OVER AND OVER AGAIN has more to do with Crennel than it does Flowers.

The island is a game of matchups. If you have a bad matchup, you need to adjust.

Flowers guarding somebody that much faster than him without safety help is like having Flowers guarding Antonio Gates without a bracket in front of him. It's poor game management by Crennel.

But, really, this entire game was poor game management by basically everyone.

Flowers was pedesterian like while the Ford went on by...

Jacoby Ford was a good player before this game. If anyone watched Clemson they know what he's capable of.

He had the fastest 40 time at the combine(well, 2nd fastest officially but Mays was slower than him, but they clocked him for some reason as being faster).

Someone the Raiders were destined to take. (http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=6663744&postcount=43)
Draft goes as follows
1 STL Bradford
2 DET Suh
3 TAM McCoy
4 WAS Okung
5 CLE Berry (via trade)
6 SEA Trent Williams
7 KC...if Clausen is there and they aren't going to take him anyway, try to swing another trade with Buffalo. BUF takes Clausen
8 OAK Who the f@ck knows, probably someone like Jacoby Ford
9 KC Dan Williams



One of the fastest times at the combine. Played opposite of CJ Spiller at Clemson, so the light rarely shined on his skills. Very talented though. I wasn't too happy to see him end up in Oakland.

Why the fuck would I watch Clemson?

Look, I'm drinking on an empty stomach here because the Chiefs killed my appetite (too bad, too, because I made a nice dinner of steak tips in balsamic vinegar with ... oh, never mind). So excuse my pissed-offedness.

But I don't give a fuck what he did in college and I don't give a fuck how good a track athlete he is. Lots of guys were good in college, and I've seen plenty of track-speed guys flame out in the NFL.

The bottom line is he hadn't done shit in the NFL before today, and he chose US to have his coming out party.

So fuck him.

Yeah, actually I'm surprised people here don't know who he is.

It was evident last week that he could be a good player, and he got the start this week and took over the game. He won the game for oakland by himself. Other than Bowe giving the game away.

As I stated earlier in the week, this was almost a Raiders B team. Ford is playing because Schillens/Murphy are both out. Throw in Miller being out and you have a woeful WR core that still managed to come up when it counted.

#1 QB Grads wasn`t in the picture and Campbell was awful most of the day.

I'll say this...If the raiders can beat EITHER Pittsburgh or Indy they are a true contender for the playoffs.

But I don't think they can do that.

I might actually have respect for the team if they can win against Indy. We've already seen Pittsburgh fold like bitches when the pressure is on.

You know what one of the knocks on Jacoby Fords was?

That he only runs deep routes.

Like the ones that helped beat us today over and over when they matched him up against our best corner that HIS biggest knock predraft was his lacking deep speed.

Its a shame that we couldn't get Flowers some safety help after the first deep ball.

I don't know about "established" himself. It was Austin's first start of his career in that game.

Jacoby Ford is a rookie. He could break out any week, and then screw the pooch the next. He won't be a consistent threat like Austin but he's a great guy to have as a slot receiver.

Bowe has 7 touchdowns in 8 games.

He may not be Larry Fitzgerald, but he is part of the reason we are 5-3.

His drop on third down killed us today, but its not like it was a cakewalk catch to make either.

Deactivate him for 1 game to get his mind right. It has worked with DJ. DJ and Bowe are very similar players. You take away what they love and they will come back and do even better the next time.

And they are both extremely inconsistent. I want a consistent player that is reliable. Bowe is the opposite of that.

Dude, Im pretty sure Bowe has a TD catch in each of our last 4 or 5 games straight.

He has been consistent, you just cant win em all.

He ran the route right, came back to the ball and dove at it and just couldnt make the catch...it happens to the best of em.

And that play cost the Chiefs this game. The route is set up that way, Cassel threw an ok pass. Not perfect, but it was very catchable.

He has to know how to win games when they are on the line.

The fuck are you talking about?

Bowe's been one of our best players since the Indy game.

He was okay today and had a horrible drop at a horrible time. That doesn't change the fact that he's still been quite good over the last 4 games.

Should we deactivate Flowers while we're at it?

C'mon folks, stop being stupid when it comes to Dwayne Bowe. He's a very good #2 reciever that's mis-cast as a #1. Just because he's our #1 doesn't mean we have to go batshit crazy when he can't live up to a talent level he simply doesn't have.

Bowe isn't Jerry Rice. He isn't Marvin Harrison. He's going to drop passes and he's going to do so when we wish he wouldn't. Benching him for a game isn't going to do a damn bit of good. Deactivating him for a winnable game (i.e. 'pulling a McDaniels) isn't going to turn him into Don Hutson all of the sudden.

Simma down - you'll live longer.

Why?

Or, more accurately, what makes you think he doesn't?

He's just not an elite WR. He's a good one and good WRs drop balls.

Benching him won't upgrade his talent. It won't suddenly make him better than he is. Benching DJ got him to pay attention and play up to his ability. Dwayne Bowe is playing up to his ability right now.

In fact, he might be playing over it (he's not a 15 TD/season guy).

Stop having unrealistic expectations for a good player that's not a great player and you'll be far less disappointed when he doesn't play like a HOFer.

Benching him won't upgrade his talent. It won't suddenly make him better than he is. Benching DJ got him to pay attention and play up to his ability. Dwayne Bowe is playing up to his ability right now.

In fact, he might be playing over it (he's not a 15 TD/season guy).

Stop having unrealistic expectations for a good player that's not a great player and you'll be far less disappointed when he doesn't play like a HOFer.

To me it's not about what passes he drops, it's about when he drops the passes. He obviously wasn't fully focused on that play. We need a guy that can be in a zone when a clutch play is needed.

Maybe he shouldn't be deactivated. But maybe we should start planning better for the future at our WR position.

hell, this one time, they knocked Tom Brady out of the game and some douchebag who didn't even play college football came on and threw a 90 yard TD pass.

Again - why don't you think he was fully focused? What do you base that on except for the fact that he didn't bring the ball in?

He ran a perfect route, got his separation. He made a great stop around the DB and put himself in a position to catch the ball.

From there he had to slide to the ground and make a catch that's one of pure instinct. No amount of focus in the world was going to change whether or not he has the muscle memory, hand/eye coordination and dexterity required to make that catch on a consistent basis. He didn't overthink it, he didn't underthink it, he didn't run without the ball (like Moeaki). In a play that required a perfect physical response in 1/10th of a second, his body just didn't quite cooperate.

He did everything right except bring the ball in. That tells me the guy was locked in - just not talented enough to make the play.

We have a tendency as fans to mistake a lack of talent for a lack of effort. Bowe's effort on that play wasn't lacking, nor was his focus. He's simply not talented enough to make that play on a consistent basis.

The Chiefs are asking a #2 WR (a very good #2 WR) to be their #1 guy. When that happens, you're going to get incredibly painful drops at incredibly difficult times.

It takes focus to make a catch like that. Not talent. Talent gets you in position to catch the ball, but the mind (focus) is what brings it in. A 12 year old could have caught that pass at full focus. But he wouldn't have had the talent to create the separation. Bowe has the talent, just never the focus in key moments.

FWIW one of his negatives before he was drafted was that he lacks concentration and that he might be "dumb".

That's just wrong. It's just 100% wrong.

That was a talent catch. Focus brings in the simple slant route on 3rd and short. Focus hauls in that deep pass when you have 3 or 4 steps. Focus is what keeps your mind from getting in your own way when you have a moment or two to recognize the gravity of the situation you're facing.

Focus has absolutely nothing to do with a timing route thrown to your back shoulder when you're sliding to the ground below a defender. That's all talent.

That catch was a talent catch - you're seeing what you want to see.

Ditto. You can believe that catching that pass requires talent and not focus. But I'll believe that catching always requires focus, rather than talent. Talent is in the body. Focus is in the mind. The mind controls the arms and hands, and Bowe misplaced his hands when he misjudged the pass as being too low. His hands went too low, the ball went through his arms higher than he thought.

Baseball's probably the best example of this kind of thing phenomenon.

Tony Pena Jr. would kick the easiest groundballs you'd ever see. Then he'd turn around and make some stunning diving catch up the middle to start a double play.

The E on the grounder was a lack of focus - the dude had time to think and his brain got in the way. He wasn't able to block out the externalities and finish off the play. Meanwhile, the diving play was a talent play - it all happened to fast for him to get in his own way.

That catch was a talent catch. Bowe wasn't in the open field looking to haul in an easy first down. It wasn't obvious that he was going to get a good look on that ball. He turned, saw the ball and just couldn't get his hands closed in time.

C'mon - there was nowhere near enough time for him to trip over himself there. It wasn't focus, it was skill.

So it's your position that, for a WR, talent begins and ends at how fast he can run?

His ability to catch the ball is based purely on his 'focus'?

C'mon - the ability to catch the football is a talent. The ability to put your hands where your eyes think they should go is an innate skill. Hand-eye coordination, hand-speed and physical dexterity are physical talents.

No amount of additional focus there was going to get Bowe to close his arms faster. His mind didn't get in his way, his hands did. The same hands that have been inconsistent throughout his entire college and pro career.

He doesn't have the hand-eye coordination or physical dexterity to be one of those guys that brings that ball in every time. That's just all there is to it.

I've been very pleased with Bowe's play so far this year.

But I see kcrockaholic4lifes point. Bowe is not a clutch receiver. Bottomline. Thats the easiest and best way to sum him up.

Is he a good player?Yes. Can he perform under pressure? Im not so sure. He ****ed up. He makes that catch late in the 4th and the game is over. No question about it. We would've won. Raiders had no business winning this game.

Its not Bowe's productivity we have an issue with. He's been monstrous in that category, It's his inability to perform and make the clutch catches at critical times in ball games. He did it this game, and the Indy game. And that is what seperates him from being a true #1 WR imo.

*If the Chiefs are going to keep Cassel, I seriously wouldn't mind if they looked at upgrading the WR position in the off-season.

This meant a lot more to the Raiders than the loss did to KC. It was a disgusting, sloppy game on both sides and one of us had to come out on top. Both teams had way too many penalties and were gifted (or screwed) by the officiating. Granted, the Raiders were down several key starters, but I still have a firm belief that KC is no slouch. I think that we are both very similar teams on paper and it showed tonight...at least our division is horrible enough to keep us both in the playoff chase.

Week 17 will be no joke, and may very well decide the outcome of the division. I'll check in here periodically, Chiefs fans. Best of luck to you and your team's season.

While I don't expect you guys to give the Raiders any credit for today's win, you can't argue with the fact that they were extremely short handed (yet somehow managed to grit out the win).

Aso, Miller, McClain, Branch, Murphy, Schilens, Gradkowski were all inactive/injured early in the game.

You guys have a great team, but Matt Cassell is the one holding you back. Also, kinda questionable on the part of Haley to give so many carries to Jones. I don't know if it's clear to your coaching staff, but it's clear to everyone else that Charles is your best back (and by far).

Good luck the rest of the season (until the showdown at Arrowhead of course), and hopefully that game is for the AFC West crown.
