NE's line is HOF level compared to what we have out there.

They can't run the ball. I think Cassel will be in the shotgun 70% of the time. More of a west coast offense.

The other thing is, people I've known who have lost a substantial amount of wieght in a short period of time have become suddenly awkward and clumsy, and it's takene them 3 weeks to a month to become familiar with their new bodies.

Very possible.

LJ won't (or shouldn't) sniff much field under this scenario.

Good.

Cause as Seedy said earlier, LJ is an average back now.

If he is going to "run" like he did tonight, he won't be missed.

Yep.

I stand by my long-standing opinion that LJ is a completely worthless bitch.

Albert eats him up. A step up in the pocket.... moving the pocket.... Tuck doesnt do well when he has been ran at. Different ways of negating pass rushes. When Tuck uses 2 moves and it doesnt work... he shuts down.

Whoa, Brokie was cut in half and got back up. Good for him.

Tuck isn't on Alberts side....Umeyiora is....

Good to see Croyle pop right back up after that shot to the chin.

Oh, in that case...

mother****...

Yeppers.:doh!:

Damn, Croyle is slinging it.

Giants dont move their DL around for the better matchups? wait that was Spags... that was last year...... we have a working experience with their new DC..... right? ...we do? lol... mecca come on now..... someone with your vast knowledsge knows they moved people around last year.... where did their current DC coach defense at last year......?

He's taken a couple hits, but he's also had teh opportunity to step up in the pocket a couple of times and really show his arm.

Was that Mike Brown or DeJuan Morgan that just got pwned by Tarvaris Jackson?

against 2nd teamers... maybe 3rd teamers... since minny started mostly 2nd teamers...

Morgan

QB Controversy!

Mike Brown doesn't get pwnt.

Yeah, I think McGraw might have blown that play. Looked like he had deep middle, Morgan realized he wasn't there, and tried to make up for it.

lol........ you'd bitch about just anything.... its 2nd teamers against 2nd and 3rd teamers...... like morgan is making this team....

Completely toasted. Morgan has been a disappointment so far.

If you're talking about running inside when he should have stayed outside:

BROWN.

I know, I'm just sayin'.

WTF?

Just asking a question, ****stick.

Is that the play where Tavris threw the ball a few yards past the line of scrimage?

Generally speaking I'd expect them to lineup that way, Umenyiora didn't even play last year..

But I didn't even bring up all the ridiculous things they can do I was just talking straight match whoever lines up over that RT is going to kill us.

Does Jackie Battle have ****ing bacon grease on his gloves or something?

It was after the Bowe TD.

Are you guys re-watching?

Also for the comment about making the team, they have to have some backup safeties right?

John McGraw got owned...if he makes the team I'll be pretty upset.

I don't live in KC, so I'm watching for the 1st time.

I'm an out of towner.
I'm watching for the first time.

I'll rewatch in the morning with a more critical eye.

He'll make the team because he's a decent ST player on a team with no good ST players.

Blah you'd think even a guy like Morgan could do what he does there, he was an ace special teamer for his college team.

NFL Network is playing the game right now.

But...Milk; you're only one time zone from me. I started watching at 5, Arizona time.

easy sister.... I asked if the Chiefs offense improved from last week against a better defense and you couldnt answer that.

Actually, yes I did.

I said I didn't see any improvement.

If anything, the right side of the OL was worse against backups this week than against starters (and not exactly scrubs in Mario Williams and Okoye) last week.

Our starters moved the ball against 2nd/3rd teamers. Maybe we can petition the league to have our opponents bench their starters so we can be competitive.

Don't know about that.

Game didn't come on here until 8, my time.

Gotta say, Mike Mayock sucks ass as a color analyst.

And I can't wait for the Vikings season to end on a Favre interception.

Started at 11PM for me, but I'm HARDCORE.

Well, I guess covering the screen is an issue for the starters AND the backups.

If our regular season opponents watch PS film, we're gonna see a shit-ton of screens go for massive yardage this year.

Mogan flagged then loses the receiver.

Well, my 8PM is probably like your 11PM, since I had to get up for work at 315AM.

Pretty much. I got up at 7:30.

For such limited practice time, and obvious limited snaps, I thought Ashley Lelie looked in shape, and very long. I would really liked to see Haley nail down the top 4 WR's, and let Cassel get comfortable with them. I don't see what Haley sees in Copper as a WR. I'm not in love with Darling. And Quinten Lawrence wipes out as many good plays as he gives KC.

After Bowe and Bradley, it really looks like a big cluster between Engram, Toomer, Darling and Lelie.

Please tell me you are not serious about this post. I will give you ample time to edit it.

I watched live, 7:00pm CST over the net, 5:00pm my time. We don't do daylight savings time here though.

Nothing to edit.

If you think the offensive line played better this week, you're a ****ing reerun.

Simple as that.

I love that about 'Zona.

Wow Mcbride sucks out there.

He was in during the 1st quarter, too. They are getting a good look at him tonight. He's probably on the bubble.

Unless the oline gets him killed. Then you fall back on Croyle. Who if he loves his life and his wife will have studied film on the Huard flop technique.

Did they not move the ball better than they did the week before? against what I believe is a better defense... regardless what 2 lineman were missing. Its my opinion that minny has a better defense than Houston... apparently you think otherwise.


Its a new offense that all the players are learning.. apparently you expect this team to win 8 games or more. I on the other hand expect improvement from week to week..... This week was an improvement over last week..... Since they did score this week on an obviously better defense.

McBride needs to move back to DE if he wants to make the team IMO. The difference in athletic ability between Hali and McBride is as big as the Grand Canyon.

oo the fan, the positive ones will find excuses to be positive all the time and the negative ones will find an excuse to be negative all the time.

I really think you might be talking out of your ass.

On the other hand, you might be right.

:)

Not getting in on the one yard line makes me wanna puke!

You are going to want to puke a lot this year. Seriously, if we crack the 5 yard line, who's your money player?

LJ...If it was still first team offense/defense, LJ would have scored. Hes the only redzone back we truly have.

It would be hard for Larry to score as his head/helmet would be jammed up the rectum of a Chiefs guard. I wonder if he closes his eyes when he runs...

You think teams are really gonna run a safety over the top when Bowe is split out wide on the goal line?

Hell even Randy Moss doesn't get that treatment.

Not sure if he thinks you're talking about the offense as a whole, or just the offensive line.

But either way, yeah he's serious. He's a protege of meccas. They hate everything Chiefs. Not sure who their team is. They must suck awfully bad though considering how much time they spend on this board. Might be raider fans.

Most people understand we have holes in our OL. But what we saw tonight was an improvement over the Houston game. I know OTW58 likes to talk out the side of his ass. Typical know it all.... done nothing...knows everything. He knows his football... knows the offense as a whole was better. Needs to stop trying to push peoples buttons to get a point across... even Raised by reeruns knows tonight was a better showing offensively against a vastly superior defensive team... regardless who was playing.

That.

Your O showed some nice flashes. So did your D. Against a team supposed to contend.

Don't worry about the end of the game. That wasn't your first-string offense. As bad as your O-line might have looked, with the #1s in and Cassel, Bowe, LJ, etc.,., chances are you get that yard in four attempts.

As for Farvrvrvurh, he didn't do anything but did show he might at least know where he's supposed to be aiming. His brain seems to know their offense. The question is, can his body follow the directions. If so, he might help them win some games, and since they were already probably going to win 9 or 10 he'll probably push them high enough to easily win that sad division. If their D and running game can make some noise, they'll be problematic for the NFC. But he's still a supreme douchebag.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. UT players are just soft and lack discipline.

My observations from a grainy laptop view of the game:

Our OL had moments of competence followed by mostly average play.

Haley/Gailey play calling set up some holes for the line. The end around was great.

Speaking of Lawrence, I see why he's still with the team just for that play. He could be a deep threat we need.

Cassel looked great. I was surprised how well he scrambled and threw accurately on the run.

LJ looked good when he had a bit of a hole.

Bowe was ALWAYS open! How does that happen and how long until he's double-teamed every week?

The 1st team defense played aggressively and put Favre on his butt.

All in all, I was happy with the game. We led at halftime which is all that counts in preseason.

The team as a whole looked improved ... The O looked OK but still O-line problems .. The D looked improved ... We contened with their 1st team ... We should have won that game but couldn't shove the D-line of the Vikes ... All in all we have improved ...

Which is what things SHOULD look like at this point considering the changes Pioli/Haley have made (and more importantly HAVEN'T made. Yet.) I honestly believe the team is taking the long view, and many here aren't quite that patient.

You are a reerun!
I waited but U do suck the azz without doubt.

We are sorry then...

**** LJ.

He's a leech!

And has a dick sucker from here...............
