Ten Things About Today's Game: Week 14

Ten Things About Tonight’s Game: Week 14

10. On Monday I found out my best friend Gary flew back from the Atlanta Game with a nasty sinus infection. Sunday Night my wife was hacking up fur balls and sounded like Tom Waits. Both were supposed to go to the game with me tonight. Both begged off. So instead of sitting in the freezer, I sold my seats to Wazu, who took his son, and sold the other ticket to another CPer Boise Chief, who had a battle with American Airlines to get out of Dallas in time to watch the game tonight. Hope they enjoyed the seats.

9. I put a frozen lasagna in the oven, a fire in the fireplace, a couple rocks in a glass filled with Crown Royal and Lemonade (try it, it’s tasty) and sat back and enjoyed the game in my La-Z-Boy with Meesh Meesh the Cat in my lap. It would have been great to be there, but it was nice to enjoy the game without freezing to death. And I was glad that a couple of our CP brethren got to attend in my stead. KC has won eight straight division games, and are now “tied” with the Faid for the AFC West at 10-3, although we’ve now swept them. So it's not really a tie. So nice to win a game like this in front of a national TV audience, especially after we got embarrassed by Pittsburgh earlier this year. Great for the city, and it looks like the stadium was packed. Fans get a game ball this week as they also caused a game changing false start on Oakland in their last drive. More on that later.

8. This game was a classic game of momentum shifts. When the game started, the KC defense gets a three and out, then Hill muffs a punt that sets the Raiders up. Defense stiffens, only gives up three. Hill gets redemption by catching a beautiful TD pass and then breaking an even prettier punt return for another TD and a 21-3 lead. Then KC decided to go into a shell and stop scoring, and the defense had to win the game. Again, more on that later.

7. Neither Alex Smith or Derek Carr had what you could call a good game. Let’s talk about Alex first. Alex had one good quarter, the second quarter. He was awful in the third quarter. In the third quarter he threw a pick on his second pass, which turned the game momentum; defense holds and give up only three. On the next drive Alex fumbles; defense holds and Oakland punter King can’t get the ball placed so the Raiders lose a chip shot field goal attempt. Then in the third possession, Smith can’t get the plays called and takes a delay of game, killing the next drive. On a positive for Alex, he threw for 264 yards, averaged over ten yards a completion and had passes to Conley, Maclin and Kelce that were over 15 yards. Alex was only sacked once. He ran for a big first down in the fourth quarter. Biggest plus for Alex is he is now 9-1 in his career vs. Oakland. But he could not drive the team to score after the second quarter, and he got no points from the defense this week. The KC defense holding Oakland to two field goals was the difference. Oakland having to drive to score eight to tie at the end instead of five to win -if they would’ve converted the muffed field goal- was also huuuuge. Changed the entire complexion of the final five minutes.

6. Carr is still a puppy, and this is the first really big game under a bright national spotlight that he’s played in. His stats were terrible. 17 for 41 for 117 yards. That’s under three yards per completion. He was sacked once and had a QB rating of 49.1. Murray offset his crappy passing night by running for 103 yards, over 4.5 per carry. He got the only Oakland TD right at the end of the half on a drive sustained by a dubious DPI. Carr certainly didn’t look like a league MVP QB tonight. He missed lots of open receivers and generally looked rattled by the pass rush and the weather.

5. Kelce had 101 yards. He’s only the third tight end to have four 100 yard games in a row, the other two being Tony Gonzalez as a Chief, and Graham in New Orleans. Most of Kelce's yards are on YAC. Tyreek Hill tied the all time Chiefs rookie record for TD receptions with Chris Burford and Stephone Paige. West contributed with the only rushing TD. Ware did not have a great game until the very last carry. He only had 56 yards on 20 carries, averaging less than three yards a carry. But he made the final first down to ice the game by an eyelash on a tough never give up run. Like last week against Atlanta, it allowed the offense to kneel on the ball and kill off the clock.

4. Special teams was mixed. Hill’s fumble out of the gate hurt. His electric TD later made amends. Too many other punt returns that Hill made were called back for holding or block in the back penalties. That had a lot to do with the offense sputtering in the second half. Unsung hero on specials was Colquitt. He punted five times and all five punts pinned Oakland inside the 20 to give them a long field. This was perhaps the key to the win that most folks don’t consider.

3. DJ’s injury is a ruptured achillies. He’s done for the year. He went down without any contact, which is exactly what happened to him when he blew out his achillies against Tennessee a couple years ago. This one could be a career-ender. Hope not, but it sure didn’t look good. The Roach-Hyphen came out for back spasms, and with Howard and Bailey being out for the year, KC is getting very lean on the D-Line. DJ’s injury could be as critical to KC long term fortunes as Gronk’s is to New England. DJ is the QB of our defense. He’s a run stopper. Wilson had some moments, but he dropped a pick, and got ran over by Murray several times in the second half. Peters played another great game, although he got torched bad in the fourth quarter by Cooper and Carr overthrew him. Nelson played well and got called for a very dubious DPI that made Andy blow his stack. And who the HELL is Terrance Mitchell? I don’t know but he had five tackles and the biggest pass defense of the game.

2. Raiders were the Raiders, killing themselves with 82 yards in penalties. My two favorites: When Hill ran the punt back, he lost his mouth guard on around the five yard line. King, the Raider punter who got juked out of his jock, picked it up, took it into the end zone and threw it at Hill for a taunting penalty. How Raiders stupid is that? But the best one was a false start inside two minutes to make a fourth and one a fourth and six. Raiders tried to burn Peters on third and one from the 14; Peters got his hand on the ball to flick it away. So on 4th and one, Chris Jones and a rabid crowd forces an Oakland lineman -the most expensive offensive line in the NFL- to jump off sides and make it 4th and six. They pick on Mitchell, who flicks the pass away beautifully. Chiefs get the ball on their own 19 with just under two minutes left, and kill the clock. Game ball to the crowd for hanging in there in the cold, and helping the defense by turning fourth and one to fourth and six. That could mean an eventual AFC West Championship.

1. So we get a few extra days to rest, but the rest of the season is not easy by any stretch. Tennessee is a game we cannot overlook. They’re also in a division battle and they came in here even before they had Mariota a couple years ago on opening day and kicked our ass. Denver would love to ruin our Christmas, and Phyllis would love to ruin our New Years. The Chiefs can control their own destiny the rest of the way. But if we’re going to do anything special this year, we’ve got to have more production from the offense, and we’ll have to find a way to soldier on without DJ. In any case, it was great to sweep those Greasy Raiders and send them home with a road loss. I hope they have to change planes in Dallas on the way home tonight!

[wazu]

Since I sat in George's seats, I am going to add one more "thing" to the list.

11. Andy Reid gets it. After the game, on his way out, he was emotional. He was pointing and shouting at the crowd "YOU DID THAT! THAT WAS YOU!" over and over all the way out and down into the tunnel until he was out of sight. While it was over-the-top, the emotion behind it and the connection with just the small group of fans in ear shot was pretty incredible. Not surprising that he is able to inspire players and build the kind of team culture that he does.

Reid sucks. I read it on CP.

[wazu]

And one more.

12. The "Ty-REEK" chant is going to be a thing at Arrowhead. Right after the penalty that gave him a second chance, the crowd broke out into a loud "TY-REEK" chant. The players on the sideline loved it and were pumping the crowd up to be louder. And then he ran the damn thing back. The chant returned every time Hill had a chance.

[Mav]

Good write up George. One little point. Alex fumbled because Eric Fisher got beat immediately by one of the two best pass rushers on the planet. Second some blame/credit has to go to the adjustments the Raiders made in the second half.

Awesomeness! Glad you got those hot seats to keep your butt warm in the cold but I doubt you sat down much at all. Kudos for that 4th and one turning it into 4th and 6 false start was imo one of the greatest moments in Chief Raider rival history because it was in our house and we made them flinch with the game on the line.

[Rasputin]

But you know what Fisher played good most of the game except I think he did have one penalty but his blocking was good to keep Alex upright most of the game and I saw him with a couple pancakes. For being "one of two best pass rushers on the planet" he didn't really do all that much now did he?



Also I think we need to put Dee Ford on the right tackle he was making stride in his pass rush but it's harder for him to adjust facing the left tackle so I think some tweaking is in order to do that.

[Discuss Thrower]

Kelce started vertical leaping once the Tyreek chant hit a crescendo. Then I saw Hill pound his chest twice and I thought "Yep. Dude's going to house this one".

[Frosty]

I don't mind a coach being aggressive but I didn't like Andy going for it in short field goal range in the 1st quarter. I think you tie it up there instead. It would have made the end of the game a little more comfortable.

[Rasputin]

DAT in on kickoffs either needs to break the 30 yard line or take a knee in the endzone so we can start on the 25. I mean I know he is no Tyreek Hill in returns but come on man don't be like Knile Davis.

I agree with this and it seemed forced and out of character unlike last week was unexpected and it through the Falcons off guard it didn't affect the Raiders the same way and it kind of back fired in that terms.


So I agree we not need get so cute.

When we do it make it count if anything.

How old is your son? I thought maybe I saw you and him walking up the aisle in the second half. I wanted to come down and say whaddup, but didnt have a plan outside of walking down the row yelling out, "Wazu!".

Did Boise Chief make it?

[TimBone]

I want to see a replay of the INT as well. I only saw a quick replay at Arrowhead. It looked like Maclin ran a lazy curl and let the guy jump him on the route. Was the INT on Alex? Or was it on Maclin?

He's 13. Would have welcomed the meeting. We'll catch up at a future game. Let's hope playoffs, this year!

Also, at some point a fan yelled "Grab em by the pussy! "

[TimBone]

Yeah, man. On the way back to our rental house tonight I told the wife, "You know if they hold on to the division and get the home playoff game, I'm coming right back." She gave me the look that said, "You come back and freeze your butt off alone."

I guess I'm making that trip solo.

[TimBone]

He's 13. Would have welcomed the meeting. We'll catch up at a future game. Let's hope playoffs, this year!
And if your son has blonde hair, then I'm pretty sure it was you that I saw. I should have spoken up.

[UK_Chief]

Ok so I only saw the highlights as the game was like 4am here and I have work Friday. But Alex looked damn good in those highlights. Interesting that you've got him marked as a mixed bag - ok yes an Int but looked like he wore his big boy pants today and stepped up. The fumble looked to be 100% on Fisher

On tyreek's return TD as soon as he got that first block I sai "he's gone" and there it was, just an unbelievable returner. Is he better than Dante? Stupid stupid drop however.

Kelce looked great also

If you yelled out "Wazu!" people would have thought you yelled out "Gazu!" and think you were crazy yelling for an imaginary little green Martian named Gazu.

It's tough to tell what was SUPPOSED to happen, but Maclin was flat footed and nearly at a stop when the CB stepped into the passing lane for the INT.

It was far enough away from Maclin to suppose that he wasn't expecting it and Alex wasn't supposed to throw, and close enough to suppose that Alex threw to a spot and Maclin gave up.

[Rasputin]

Tipped balls


We had some seriously golden opportunities to snag some tipped balls out ~mid air~ but they slipped out of fingertips oh daganabbit so close that could seal the deal instead of letting the Raiders in it until the very close to the end.


We prevailed but I think we had some missed opportunities that we need to get our hands on next time but we also missed DJ a lot and they started to run over us without him.

[Rasputin]

My question is does the ball have to cross the los in order for the refs to throw the flag on a pass? Alex stepped over the line but got back and then threw it but the ball never crossed over it. Fortunately Chiefs got a play off and Raiders happened to Raider so they couldn't challenge the play but I thought they would have won a challenge with passing across the line of scrimmage.

[Rasputin]

Also why wouldn't it have been delay of game when that fuqtart Raider trapped the ball and acted like he got an INT then ran it all the way to the end zone after the refs were blowing the whistle incomplete? At any rate he should have been flagged for being a fuqtart dipshit.

The 'fuqtard' was the cornerstone of our defense, Mr. Sean Smith to you sir.

Oh shit I didn't realize that was Sean Smith but he put on a Raiders uni so they all look like fuqtards to me.


Still I liked Sean Smith wish he was still a Chief.

The rule is that if any part of the passer is still behind the line it's legal. Nothing to challenge.

[Mecca]

It was Malcolm Smith that did that not Sean Smith.

[St. Patty's Fire]

13. I get rip my dad's ass for being a faid fan

So many excuses for Carr lmao

[Rasputin]

The rule is that if any part of the passer is still behind the line it's legal. Nothing to challenge.

Well the Chiefs were sure in a hurry to get a play off so I thought that they were just making sure Raidas couldn't challenge it. It worked out because the Raidas got a penalty for being offsides when ball was snap.

[Baby Lee]

It was Malcolm Smith that did that not Sean Smith.

If so, my bad. I was eating dinner at the time so I was half watching the screen, half watching my plate.

Glanced up and saw a dude running back from the EZ and could have sworn Al and Chris were jawing about 'Sean' Smith's acting.

It's easy to do when guys have the same last name but it was a 50's number.

I'm the WORST at numbers. I can differentiate players better by body type and movement than remembering or even noticing all their numbers.

Exceptions for 58 and 90 [past] and 50 and 11 [present]. And to tell the truth, 1/2 the reason I know Alex is 11 is all the AS11 references here.

For instance, was Montana 7 or 11? Couldn't tell you.

[Buehler445]

Great read George and wazu.

Nice to see Reid with emotions.

It should be noted though that Faid lost this one more than we won it. I mean yeah,Alex fisted them for a quarter and the defense did a lot of good things, but man, Carr played like dog balls. And Cooper missing that wide open one? ROFL those bitches choked HARD. In prime time.

But the bottom line is we swept those pillow biters. And we are undefeated in the division. And we are done on the road except for the Dolts. We better sweep the damn division.

It's pretty inexplicable that we are doing what we are doing with total offense, total defense, offensive and defensive efficiency in the 20s while everyone is saying turnovers and we lose the TO battle 3-0. Hopefully it is just our time.

Fuck Donk
Fuck Faid
Go Chiefs!

We did make some clutch plays in the fourth quarter to seal it but it was again too close for comfort. That Kelce play 30+ yarder in the fourth quarter was something we needed in a bad way and the defense holding them to field goals when in fact they could have walked on in with the running game. We got some rabbit trick to keep winning these things but we are winning them nonetheless so I'm happy. Just got to keep the magic in January and February.

The offense just needs to keep matriculating and help the defense out.

[KC-TBB]

Always appreciate the insight...living here in Atlanta I can tell you the Chiefs are getting some well deserved respect, FINALLY! Would much rather 'hold our own destiny' then hope others lose, so KEEP ON KEEPING ON CHIEFS!

[Kman34]

Great job Mr BF.... glad you stayed warm... the Titans can run the ball and will be a handful without our all pro DJ...

[Bwana]

Well done again George.

[Marcellus]

Fuck the Raiders! Great read George!

[HemiEd]

I don't mind a coach being aggressive but I didn't like Andy going for it in short field goal range in the 1st quarter. I think you tie it up there instead. It would have made the end of the game a little more comfortable.

Yeah, that was a head scratcher, made me wonder if Santos was ok.

Kudos to you George, and most of all to that loud fanbase!:clap:

[gblowfish]

Awesome.

How did you or who came up with the name Meesh Meesh I bet it was your wife?

Or daughter if you have one would name it that.



It's defiantly a cats name and not a dogs name

When he was a kitten, he was named "Misha." Over the years we've just ended up calling him Meesh Meesh. He's a great cat, and he's my buddy.

[BlackHelicopters]

Terrific insight. Thank you.

Largely I agree. But for as much shit as he takes for sideways and routes short of the sticks, I am not going to thrash him for going for it early.

I'd rather him go for it early, that way if we don't make it we have time fix it.

[Sandy Vagina]

I like people that are loving pet owners.

That is all the kindness I can summon in this thread. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii269/theogrit/1sm300peace.gif

Great read. I miss DJ already. Kudos to the fans.

[Rooster]

Thanks George. Excellent as always.

[Buehler445]

Posted this in the DJ thread. I just feel horrible for the guy. Great player and by all accounts a better guy. Deserves better.

Figured so the way he went down.

That's horrible. Yeah we are thin and yeah he was a huge part of what we do, but damn all that.

That's horrible for DJ. That's a pretty unfun injury and that was probably his career. I feel bad for the person. dJ is first class and deserves better than to end his career like this.

[jimidollar]

Alex throwing that dart to Hill for the TD was a thing of beauty. Major props to both Alex and Conley on that first and 20 play. Conley was getting grabbed and he still made the catch plus the YAC.

[Beef Supreme]

Hill went from people pissed off at the pick to the entire stadium chanting his name.

[Mecca]

Hill went from people pissed off at the pick to the entire stadium chanting his name.

Now everyone else hates him and thinks he shouldn't be in the NFL..how things change.

[hitchief]

I agree that once again you can fault Alex's play but lets not mention that it was extremely tough to throw with the temp being so cold.

Or that Maclin is just not there right now, which is understandable just coming back from injury - that Int is on Alex but Maclin just let that db jump that route and on another throw to him that was on target, he made almost no effort for the ball, instead just threw up his arms wanting a PI.

Also, you give no credence to the offense making enough plays on offense, even in the second half to switch field position, which was a huge deal with our D playing so well.

Lastly, we had no running game again so there was no play action and the Raiders could play the pass and not worry about the rush in the second half. This is a major concern in the playoffs as weather will be a factor for sure and we must be able to run better than we are trending right now.

Its a team win as most are but to win with the turnover differential of -3 is a huge deal for this team.

[Chiefnj2]

Hats off to Terrance Mitchell. What a good game. I hope fans give him a break, he's inexperienced and going to make mistakes.

The other really cool thing about the game last night was that KC was also able to overcome some sketchy officiating.

It wasn't so horrible. Way better than the FUCKING DONK game. :cuss:

11. Thank the spider camera guy for saving 1 score.

[Chiefnj2]

It wasn't so horrible. Way better than the ****ING DONK game. :cuss:

I thought the non-fumble early in the game and the PI call later were both pretty bad.

[Buehler445]

I thought the non-fumble early in the game and the PI call later were both pretty bad.

They were, but they weren't nearly as catastrophic as all the crap no holding calls and ridiculous PI calls that Donk game provided. Maybe it is because Faid was so ineffective and all those led to Donk plays, but FUUU*******

Fuck Donk Forever.

[MTG#10]

11. Thank the spider camera guy for saving 1 score.

What? I watched the game but must have missed whatever this is about.

[Halfcan]

Excellent write up!!

I hate the Faders, maybe not quit as much as the arrogant Cheating Donks, but I really hate these guys. One close up shot of a Fader fan after their only TD, reminded me why. He was screaming in the face of two Chiefs fans. They must have been his friends because they did not punch him in the mouth like he deserved. Two decades of being a season ticket holder and it was always the same. Fader fans are mouthy, dress in gay Gothic costumes, instigate more fights and get arrested more than Any fans to come into Arrowhead. It was so awesome to watch them sit out there in sub-freezing weather while their team is gifted field position and turnovers all night, only to come away with 13 total points. Pitiful. A heart-wrenching loss, and they looked bad doing it.

It was amazing to be only the second team (Panthers) in 40 plus years to have a turnover ratio of (-minus 3) and still beat these assholes. From their soup-bowl haircut dork owner, to their mouthy, classless, D-bag head coach, their convict fans and shit-hole city-this was a crushing defeat. 1st seed down to 5th- 1st place down to 2nd, Possibly Bye down to Wildcard, a Split down to a Sweep and another Huge win for the good guys. Being swept by the Chiefs has to be the worst for them-and that makes the win all that much better.

I really hope we beat their loser asses again in the Playoffs. It will be great to finish them off for the season. A trifecta of penalties, pouting and crushing defeats to remind them why they spent decades with losing records year after year. And best of all, make their pos fans put away their black pantyhose, make up and wizard capes for another year.

Yeah, was at the game and also no idea.

11. Thank the spider camera guy for saving 1 score.

I've seen people suggest that had some impact, but I don't buy it. If it had hit the wire, the play should have been stopped, and I didn't see a single player on the field pleading the case to the refs.

[The Franchise]

Just a couple of things....

1. Props to Fisher. Outside of that strip sack....he did a damn fine job of stopping Mack.

2. Where was Hali last night? I don't remember seeing him much or hearing his name. Wonder if the cold had anything to do with that.

3. Where were the sweeps from Hill?

[The Franchise]

Was this the missed TD by Cooper? Did it hit the wire or something?

[Chiefnj2]

3. Where were the sweeps from Hill?

Good question. I remember when the announcers showed a replay where all the Raider defenders followed Hill on one play leaving the other side of the field wide open. I thought to myself, KC would go back to that again but I don't think they did.

[eDave]

Mitchell's mouth guard was cool.

[Marcellus]

Forgot to mention, Holy bajeeezus the officiating was shit last night.

Just an embarrassment to the NFL.

So many missed calls and bullshit calls.

And what's with not showing the penalties now? There were multiple penalties against us that they just never even showed.

I know they didn't show most of the holding calls and the PI call on Nelson was complete and utter bullshit. You cant cover better than that.

The pancake block Fisher made was called holding? That was a textbook block.


2 text book plays ended up being big penalties on KC.

Kelce gets raped and no call. That bullshit turnover that was overturned. These refs fucking suck.

[O.city]

The block from Fisher was pretty shitty. The one on LDT was as well.

[Marcellus]

Kelce gets raped and no call. That bullshit turnover that was overturned. These refs ****ing suck.

Oh yea Kelce got fucking tackled with the ball in the air, no flag.

Those refs should be fined for that game. It was THAT bad.

[Rausch]

Fish did not have a good game.

And honestly, most of our line didn't either...

In theory.

Again, I don't buy it. The ball kind of flutters in, but I don't see any actual hit in that video, and I find it hard to believe that none of the players on the field - many of whom were looking directly at the ball in the air - didn't see it. I also know they specifically position that camera to keep the wires out of the way.

[Go Royals]

The Faid got lucky on their touchdown too. They only got to the 1 yard line because of a horseshit PI call against Mitchell. Cooper shoved Mitchell and our dude got called for it.

Fuck the Raiders. Fuck Del Rio. Fuck that little bitch Derek Carr.

[Simply Red]

And one more.

12. The "Ty-REEK" chant is going to be a thing at Arrowhead. Right after the penalty that gave him a second chance, the crowd broke out into a loud "TY-REEK" chant. The players on the sideline loved it and were pumping the crowd up to be louder. And then he ran the damn thing back. The chant returned every time Hill had a chance.

Lovely.

[KChiefs1]

Great read George.

Ten Things About Tonight’s Game: Week 14

9. KC has won eight straight division games, and so nice to win a game like this in front of a national TV audience.
For shizzle! Not easy to win that many division games in the BEST division in the NFL :clap:

8. Then KC decided to go into a shell and stop scoring, and the defense had to win the game.
Play calling turned to shit once again. That goddamn POS draw play was a loser everytime it was run. Why no jet sweeps?

7. Neither Alex Smith or Derek Carr had what you could call a good game. Alex was only sacked once. He ran for a big first down in the fourth quarter.
The KC defense holding Oakland to two field goals was the difference.
Derek had a horrible game-Alex was Jekyll and Hyde. He was incredibly good in 2nd QTR then he was incredibly bad in the third QTR. Maclin looked like he quit on the route Alex threw the INT and Alex looked like he was a frozen statue on the strip as he stood motionless for 2 seconds before he got crunched. He looked hypnotized.

6. Carr is still a puppy, and this is the first really big game under a bright national spotlight that he’s played in.
He has been in the spotlight before on TV outside KC. He is a really good QB and he will be a villain in the future with us and when he heals. I'm glad we got him with an injury.

5. Kelce had 101 yards.
If he can just stop the stupid taunting penalties and cut down on the easy misses, he is the BEST TE in the league. I think he will get there and really liked his interview with NFL network after the game.

4. Special teams was mixed. Unsung hero on specials was Colquitt. He punted five times and all five punts pinned Oakland inside the 20 to give them a long field. This was perhaps the key to the win that most folks don’t consider.
I'm going to politely disagree on this one GB. I think Colquitt was a little off last night. I believe 4 of his 5 punts were from our 40-50 and each time the ball was fair caught around the identical spot of their 17-18 yard line. I think he could have hit the ball another 10 yards without out-punting the coverage and given our guys a chance to down the ball inside the 5-10 rather than the 15-20. Small issue but that's how I saw that.
Tyreek redeemed himself with a great TD catch and the fastest punt return for a TD I ever saw! That was incredibly fast.

3. DJ’s injury is a ruptured achillies. He’s done for the year. This one could be a career-ender.
Peters played another great game, although he got torched bad in the fourth quarter by Cooper and Carr overthrew him.
Nelson played well and got called for a very dubious DPI that made Andy blow his stack. And who the HELL is Terrance Mitchell? I don’t know but he had five tackles and the biggest pass defense of the game.
I thought the same thing when Dj went down-there goes his career but then I thought of Steve Smith and I think DJ comes back for one last year UNLESS we win the Super Bowl.
Peters got caught cheating for an INT with a in move by the WR and we got REAL lucky on that but that pass he defended in the end zone with that huge leap was fantastic.
Nelson's PI call was 100% BULLSHIT!
Terrance Mitchell saved the day at the end but Carr threw that too far inside.

2. Raiders were the Raiders, killing themselves with 82 yards in penalties. King, the Raider punter who got juked out of his jock, picked it up, took it into the end zone and threw it at Hill for a taunting penalty. How Raider stupid is that? But the best one was a false start inside two minutes to make a fourth and one a fourth and six.
Did you expect the Raiders to be anything different? :rolleyes:
That false start at the end of the game saved our ass. I felt the Raiders were going to score with just a yard to go but the 6 yards made it a different set of plays that had to call.


1. Tennessee is a game we cannot overlook.
The Chiefs can control their own destiny the rest of the way.
The Titans game has TRAP written all over it. Thank God we have an extra three days to prep and heal!
You can't ask for anything better than controlling you own destiny. The only part we do NOT control is New England gets home field if they win out. We need to win out and have a NE Loss to an AFC team.


Last night I was at an industry Holiday event with my quasi-boss in Lancaster PA and left 1/2 hour before it ended to watch the game in my hotel room.

Sitting on the king bed in privacy watching the game in prime time was sweet. I didn't feel as nervous in this game as some of the prior heart attack moments this year. I felt we would find a way to win.

We MUST win next week against the Titans and then it sets up a wonderful Christmas game that I will be there at and I am extremely excited! PBJPBJPBJPBJPBJ

That catch and fumble by Oakland was 100% a catch and fumble. They called it wrong, just like the PI call on Nelson. We got two bad calls for sure and I saw Houston held late in the game again and of course, no call.

Great write up and see you on Christmas. :rockon:

Have a great week!

[scho63]

DAT in on kickoffs either needs to break the 30 yard line or take a knee in the endzone so we can start on the 25. I mean I know he is no Tyreek Hill in returns but come on man don't be like Knile Davis.

Did you notice most times DAT goes to the outside lanes but Hill goes inside lanes? :hmmm:

[scho63]

Great read GB!</br></br> I don't know if I just haven't noticed it before or if Berry is suddenly making receivers wish they've never caught the ball near him. He's coming in like missile.

You mean when Crabtree shit his pants and wouldn't even raise his arms for that very catchable Carr pass that sailed right over his head? ROFLROFLROFL

[Sandy Vagina]

very catchable? Throw was so high, Crabtree was thinking there was a Raider receiver beyond him, and didn't want to leap to interfere with that connection.

The refs/NBC certainly caused a lot of confusion on that penalty. I had assumed they picked up the flag until I read the play by play.

Hill can also hit an open crack in 2.2 seconds.

Yeah, it was on King, though that wasn't explained until later in the broadcast (maybe postgame?) Other than when he got kicked out for arguing with the ref, I don't remember any taunting penalties on Kelce.

[Frosty]

Okay. At some point, I will look for it and see. Guess we are talking about the same play.

You're saying the same thing the announcers said during the broadcast. The way Crabtree turned to look behind him, he did look like he thought a receiver was behind him.

Good read, once again.

It go t awful dusty when dj went down, i'm still a little depressed over it

Yep. Was a catch and fumble no doubt. The refs got it wrong. He was not in the act of catching while falling to the ground. He made the catch and got tackled - that's why he was falling to the ground. It was not in any way part of the catch. He had control, got tackled, and fumbled while on a Chiefs player so he was not down. Should have been KC ball.

On NFL Network Post Game, I believe it was Mariucci who said Crabtree had "alligator arms" and heard footsteps from Eric Berry. Never even tried to catch it.

One thing I do want to mention:

DAT sucks on kickoff returns. If we had someone back there to catch it in the end zone & NOT return it...we'd have better field position.

If you want a returner then have Tyreek do it & if you want to give him a rest have Mitchell give it a shot.

Just say no to DAT.

I recall at least two of three DAT returns being pretty solid

Remember thinking "it looks like Hill has inspired him a little bit"
