He returned kicks & was a starting CB in college.

Yea, his ball secruity has been excellent. He always looks like hes just on the cusp of breaking one, but never does.

One thing stood out to me big time today. We left 21 points on the field in the first 8-10 minutes of the game, and still managed to win. That would have never happened in the past few years.

A recap of the 21 points.

It would have been a tough catch, but Bowe had a TD catch within his grasp on the first drive.

DJ followd that up with the easy walk into the endzone drop of again a tough catch, but one that could have been made.

Following drive, Cassel misses a wide open Charles down the right hash marks.

Then throw in on top of that the bypassing of the FG in the early 2nd quarter, and by all rights we could have/should have been up by 24-0 and game would have been over.

To win inspite of those miscues... outstanding! :toast:

Buffalo was very fortunate. Every loose ball, every reviewed call seemed to go their way today. Their fans are going through the kind of crap we went through last year.

Sucks to be them :)

Ive said it once, but I reallllllly want to see Berry Return a punt, just once. Even though hes not the very fastest, it seems both times hes gotten the ball, he just wrecks people left and right and has fast footwork.

which has exactly NOTHING to do with it, douch dick.


so take your relax,stick up your ass and die from internal bleeding.

As always...GREAT. Rep

I don't think it was ever that bad here, not even with herm.

And they have Chan Gailey as HC.

Ouch.

The Chiefs cant run on every single down. NO team can do that.

Im not gonna dump on Cassel too much because he did have a nice game winning drive at the end.....But the guy is waaay too inconsistant on 3rd downs and it absolutely kills nice drives. Heck, Fitzpatrick was better on 3rd downs today i would guess...

My good pal Mr. Doggity went to the game with me today. He still supports Cassel. I think Cassel is somewhere in the caliber of Bono/Grbac. He thinks he's more like Huard or Krieg.

Remember last week the two TD catches by Bowe? On the stat sheet, Cassel gets two TD passes, but both TD's were all Bowe. The first one was under thrown by five yards. Bowe had to wait for the ball, adjust to it, then beat two guys trying to tackle him. A good pass and he waltzes into the end zone untouched. On the second TD, it was high and way outside. Bowe manages to go up, get the ball, and drag his toes. Again, a TD, and all Bowe. Accuracy is Cassel's biggest issue. He just isn't accurate.

I get that we have to pass every once in a while.

What kills me is how many freaking times we pass on a running down. Stop getting cute--when it's 3rd or 4th and short, run the damn ball. Even worse that on many of those plays, we lined up in the shotgun.

That was another thing. Until the final drive, when we wanted to pass we didn't use play action. More play action would greatly increase the effectiveness of our passing game.

I disagree with the idea that you should run the ball on every third or fourth and short.

I do think, however, that lining up in a shotgun is not a good idea.

Albiet it is being tested right now and its working whether some people agree or not

True but they had to have completed something near or north of half their third downs -- and a lot were third and long. That has to be tightened up to really move this defense up a notch. Other than that and some of the missed opportunities (the aforementioned DJ interceptions, the Vrabel almost-fumble recovery, etc.) they played well enough today.

My biggest problem was all the stupid trickery when we're averaging 10 yards a carry on the ground. Why empty the backfield on a 4th and 1 and throw it? Why not go for it on the first drive rather than punt? Almost going for it on 4th and 1 from deep in our territory there at the end almost proved fatal. Just some really bizarre play-calling at times.....
