Ten Things About Today's Embarrassment: Week 11: NYG 12 KC 9
 

Ten Things about Today’s Game: Week 11: NYG 12 - KC 9

10. I’m on vacation. I’m off till a week from Monday. I worked on the inside of my house all day yesterday, and today was leaf blower and mower morning, working to clean up the Stately Blowfish Manor grounds. Worked from about 8:30 till just before Noon. I thought I’d have a nice cold pop, kick back, enjoy a satisfying trashing against a crappy one win team. Especially anticipated this with Wile E. Reid coming off the bye week, playing his old division the NFC East. By halftime I wanted to go back out and start mowing and mulching again. This game was a total drag to watch. It was like watching a kitten mauled by a Rottweiler slowly die. If this game didn’t make you just plain pissed off, then there’s something wrong with you. After the game I went out and mowed and mulched for a another hour, trying to calm down. Then I came back in and looked through the video a second time. I’m even more pissed off. So if you're expecting optimistic Blowfish, stop reading now, because this effort was nothing but a gutless abortion by your Kansas City Chiefs. I can’t even call this an abortion. At least abortions are over quickly and don’t force you to suffer into overtime.

9. Before I begin, I’d quickly like to say I hope the Verizon guy and the Sprint guy and Dan Fouts all die horrible, lingering painful deaths. That being said, I might as well start with pissing off the Alexsexuals and say this: What you saw today is what Alex Smith is. He cannot put the team on his back and will it to win. He’s just not good enough. If you look at the stats, Alex and Eli were basically the same, sucking lousy QB. Smith 27 for 40 for 230 yards, no TDs, two picks and one sack. He averaged less than six yards per pass completion. Eli was 19 for 35 for 205 yards, no TDs, one pick, no sacks and averaged less than six yards per pass completion. And Eli had probably ten balls dropped on him. Both teams were awful on third down. KC was 3 for 11, New York 3 for 13. If ANY of the Giants usual starting receivers play in this game, we probably lose this game by three TDs. I'm not calling for Mahomes, because unless Alex gets whacked and knocked out, it ain't happening. We're stuck with Alex for the duration of this year, and you all better resign yourself to accepting that. Because Chiefs.

8. Alex comes out in the first quarter, starts his day by one hopping a pass to Kelce. So since he can't hit the broad side of a barn, Alex checks down and checks down and checks down. Kareem Hunt catches three passes for four yards. Three passes…for four yards. In the second quarter, Smith takes a sack at the 7:45 mark, doesn’t even look at a streaking wide open DAT who roasted his guy in single coverage. At the four minute mark, KC down 6-0 has third and seven at the Giants 13 yard line. Alex throws a four yard pass at Kelce, who drops it. We kick a field goal. Smith didn’t even try for the end zone or throw the ball past the sticks. Chiefs get the ball back again before the half; on their own 35 and a 3rd and 2 Alex actually tries to stretch the field on a 25 yard throw to Travis - not Kelce, the other Travis, our third string Tight End. Travis has his man beat by two steps, and Alex overshoots him. We actually get the ball back with a minute left and one time out on our 20 yard line. Wile E.runs West up the middle twice, as goes to the locker room with a time out in his pocket. Don’t worry, we’ll get them in the second half. This is a one win team we're playing, remember?

7. Third quarter, at the seven minute mark, Chiefs on the Giants 37 yard line, on a third and 10, Smith one hops a pass to Travis. It misses Travis by a good five to six yards. At least Travis was past the first down marker, and he was open. Wile E. decides to punt, Giants then make a long methodical drive down field. They beat Gaines on coverage; then they beat Nelson on coverage, then they trample DJ. Giants go for it on 4th and 9 at the KC 33 yard line and the pass is dropped. But the Giants are able to eat up most of the rest of the third quarter. So Alex gets the ball back, throws long at Hill, who has his guy beat by three steps, but Hill has to wait for the pass because it’s woefully under thrown. Hill adjusts and comes down with the ball at the Giants 15 yard line. What happens next? Next, the Fourth Quarter starts.

6. So start of the fourth quarter, KC in the red zone, first down on the Giants 15 yard line. Wile E. runs Kareem up the middle for two yards. Then a shuffle pass to Hunt for one yard. Then on third and seven, Alex one hops one to Harris four yards short of the first down marker. Not only did they not throw past the sticks, they didn’t throw a single pass into the end zone. Nor did they go to their two biggest play makers, Hill and Kelce. Buttkicker hits the second field goal. This offensive series was inexcusable. Just dreadful. At the seven minute mark, on a first down play from the KC 40, Alex rolls out to his right. Kelce has his guy beat twenty yards down field. Alex throw the ball wide and high You know Mahomes makes that throw easy. Why is this important? Because on the next play, Wile E. lets Kelce throw the bomb and it gets picked off at the Giants 15 yard line, out to the 30 for a targeting penalty by Robinson at the end of the play. So instead of the Chiefs having first down and driving at the Giants 40, we cough up a turnover, New York has the ball at their own 34 with six minutes left. The Kelce gadget play was called because Smith could not hit an open receiver all freaking day long. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

5. So we get the ball back with about four minutes left in the game tied up 6-6 on our own five yard line. Hunt runs a couple times for a first down to the 18. Hunt runs again for no gain. 2:47 left in the game. 2nd and 10, Alex over throws Robinson in the middle of triple coverage and throws the pick. He had all day to throw. On top of that, he throws at the wrong guy. Five yards further down field, he has Hill streaking open down the seam. Terrible pass, terrible turnover, thrown at the wrong guy. Luckily the defense forces a NY field goal, and there’s about 90 seconds left to win -notice I'm saying WIN the game. Smith runs for a first down to the Giants 23 yard line with 37 seconds left. Next a pass in bounds to DAT down to the 12, then a pass to West to get a first down at the 10, and he gets out of bounds with 16 seconds left. Then a pass way out of the end zone at a double covered Kelce. Then with 11 seconds Alex runs for the end zone, only makes it to the five, burns the final time out and Wile E. is forced to kick the tying field goal with five seconds left. In all that, only one attempt is made at the end zone, and that was at a double covered receiver. So here comes overtime. Chiefs get the ball first, drive is squashed by a bullshit holding call on the Canadian Doc. On third and 10 from our 35, Captain Checkdown throws a three yard pass to West. A Three Yard Pass. In overtime. Why? Chiefs punt, Eli starts from his own 18 with six minutes left, marches the team right down the field, and on a third and six, throws a prayer up at his tight end Engram, who out jumps Murray but can’t pull it in. Instead of trying the field goal, on 4th and 6 they go for it. How do you beat the Chiefs? Well, if you can’t beat Murray, you beat Gaines. Same jump ball, Gaines falls down, Lewis catches the ball, chip shot field goal, game over. And that’s all she wrote. And a one and eight team is now a two and eight team, with their only home win thus far. Great.

4. The defense held Manning to 205 passing and gave up only 112 rushing. Darkwa and Kareem Hunt had an identical game. Darkwa rushed for a TD. Hunt did not. Hunt has now gone seven straight games without scoring. The Giants TD was set up by a DPI against Peters. The winning field goal in OT set up by a DPI on Gaines. Every team in the league knows if you want to beat KC you just throw up a jump ball, and either your guy catches it, or he’ll draw a DPI. Wile E. Reid however, refuses to throw the ball into the end zone inside the red zone. The defense went another week without a sack. Not being able to sack a geriatric Eli Manning is embarrassing. Sorensen had the only pick. He played a decent game and was about the only one to play decent on the defense. Where is Justin Houston? Where is Chris Jones? Just an anemic, pathetic effort in overtime by the defense to allow an 82 yard scoring drive.

3. Special teams were terrible too. There’s been too many damn penalties on punt returns. We can’t stop a fake punt on 4th and two. Everybody in the stadium knew it was coming. A one win team has nothing to lose. Acker gets a penalty to snuff a decent punt return by DAT. DAT fumbles a punt. Terrence Smith knocks himself out of the game with a dirty hit right before the half. Colquitt punts OK, Buttkicker is perfect again, but the overall quality of special teams is way below what we usually get from Dave Toub. This part of our game has got to improve. It's bringing the whole team down.

2. I couldn’t bring myself to listen to Wile E’s post game presser, but I’ll be willing to bet there was the standard “This is my fault, and I’ve got to coach better and fix it” BS. I’m so sick of hearing that. Philly fans tried to warn us about Wile E. That pick throw by Kelce was inexcusable. The game momentum turned on it. If nobody is standing at least ten yards wide open, you either have Kelce run with the ball or throw it into the cheap seats. Especially on a second and ten. And the entire game, Alex is changing the play at the line of scrimmage. They were constantly changing into runs for Hunt or little dink check down passes. It was Matt Casshole all over again. At least Casshole could hit a guy wide open occasionally. I’m just really disgusted by this entire effort by everyone. Reid is supposed to be a genius coming off the bye week. And he loses to a 1-8 team from a division he knows intimately. This loss likely puts us on the road again in the playoffs, if we manage to get to the playoffs. Oh, and yeah, the Chiefs are already asking for playoff ticket money. Talk about presumptuous.

1. So, we’ve lost four of the last five. That’s not a trend, that’s what this team is. We laughed at Denver for losing to these bums, and now the joke is on us. I think the truth is, the AFC West is a weak division. One team will come out of it; it might be us, and whoever wins will get smoked in the first round of the playoffs. Alex Smith is not winning any playoff games this year. This will be last year all over again, only we get beat worse. Smith as a Chiefs playoff QB has beaten Brian Hoyer. Brian Freaking Hoyer. Can we beat New England? Not now - Hoodie has the book on us now. Can we beat Pittsburgh? No. Haley loves sticking it up Chunt’s pooper. How bout Tennessee? They beat us in Arrowhead last December. Jacksonville? Who’s going to stop Fournette? He’s back off an injury and ready to roll. I just don’t see it. I wouldn’t be surprised if Buffalo rolled in here and beat us next week, starting God Knows Who at QB. I’m just going to need to be pissed off for a few days. Wish I had something sunnier for you, but I just don’t. All I can say is, Happy Thanksgiving to all of us abused long suffering Chiefs fans; burn the game tape on this one, and let’s hope for better with some home cooking next week. And a touchdown on offense would be swell.

I just can't today. Thanks for posting, but I just can't. Maybe tomorrow I can read this.

The tricky dick bullshit with Kelce throwing it was the stupidest ****ing call Reid has ever perpetrated here

You are a brave man with the testicular fortitude of an Apis Bull. This had to be tough to write. Mad props for doing it anyway.

No need to be pissed. This team just stinks all the way around. A lot of weak spots on this roster. It is what it is at this point.

You say hoping but the field was wide open for Alex Smith all day.

Thanks for the writeup, George. I wish I had some more corn to harvest.

I've quit caring about the 2017 Chiefs. They're not doing shit.

Although idiotic, not even in the top 10 IMO.

Take in the fresh air known as freedom, and I'm not talking about getting away from your recycled farts in the tractor.

This tbh

Since the last time he called a similar play, with the same result

Chief's don't deserve your column. They suck. They do deserve shit to be thrown at them when they land at the airport.

Thanks George

He doens't trust his God Dammend ****ing pussy ass cuck quarterback to throw it deep so he has a tight end do his job.



Also that play when we were in the red zone but Alex throws it to the out back Australia and doesn't give our guy a chance to make a catch. That's what I get pissed about Alex Smith he doesn't give our guys opportunity to win the game for us because he is to chickenshit he will throw an interception and take blame for losing.

Yeah, this season isn't going to have a happy ending.

Thanks George - thankfully I missed the game until the last drive of the 4th Q. At least I know how it all went down now, pretty much how I assumed.

Totally agree George! Thanks

Too soon?

Glad to hear you got the yard work done....were the neighbors pissed when you started the mower at 830?

TDDR

Too depressing, didn't read.

But thanks anyway George.

Thanks for the write up.

One of the worst losses in recent memory.

Still trying to decide who was worse, Smith or Reid. Still flabbergasted that given two weeks to prepare that was the best Andy could come up with. Just a dreadful, DREADFUL, offensive performance.

I'm thinking about stepping away for the rest of the season, maybe going to see some movies on Sundays. I know how this is going to end, so I don't know why I should commit to it.

Thanks for the write ups, George.


....small blessings in a futile situation.

Thanks for the fine write-up, George. Kado’s to you for being able to pull this together despite being crapped on by the entire Chiefs organization.

Me too, friend.

0 passes into the end zone....

That as much as anything is what is infuriating. It's a fundamental flaw.

Waste 3.5 hours watching that crap.

Get pissed off.

Watch it again.... on purpose.

:spock:

I'm wondering, is why in over time we're running the ball up the middle like we're trying to run up the clock. Why were we not going for the score?

Thanks Jorge. I was pretty pissed until I spent a little time playing with my kids. Now I'm pissed off again...

This sucks (not you george)

Jorgeortablowfish

I have been spending time with family and remodeling a farmhouse we will be moving into the last 3 weeks.

It's amazing how little you miss football when you are doing something cool.

I'm going to miss next week's game because I have to take both kids back to college after Thanksgiving. We'll see how I feel after that, win or lose.

You should have put in as much effort as the Chiefs George and only done three things.

This team is lost, broken and lacking total commitment. We have seen it before.

If they had a couple dozen guys putting in as much effort as Akeem Hunt, they might get somewhere.

My son's home rehabbing from knee reconstruction last Thursday, we just hung out, so I felt better.

"Teams are running Cover 2," tight end Travis Kelce said. "Until we can beat Cover 2, both in the run game and in the pass game, we're going to struggle."

****. That is all. Thanks for the write up.

Thanks George as always.

Like to see Sal Palantonio sitting front row at tomorrow's presser.

1st class write about about a team who were probably playing with hangovers, or a least the could have fooled me...It the Chiefs were listed on the S+P's there would have been a run to dump the stock.

Thanks for the effort. Your write ups are always a great read.

Anyone call this loss a week ago?

I was thinking the same thing.

I'm just sorry George is a STH of this shit show. The Hunts will have raped the city again.

Spot on as usual George , wish u weren't but this on sucked balls

Tavia’s taco tell chunt chubby they looked like kaw kaw.

Thanks buddy....I don't know how you have the stomach to write these lists sometimes... I just wanted to throw shit afterwards...
Kelce would be one of the last players I would have throw a pass.. his decision making is almost as bad as Alex...
They do self scouting during the bye week... well.....their scouts suck... they don't have a clue whats wrong or how to fix this shit show....

This was one of the worst games I've ever watched.

If you just happened upon this game, you would think that both teams were terrible one or two win teams.

Both teams played sloppy on both sides. The offense were so inept that both defenses put in 'good performances', but there was no good defense in this game. Just sloppy offenses failing for 3 hours. I know it would go into overtime, if only to torture me for another 30 minutes with some of the worst football ever. After all of that, KC still lost to a 1-8 team.

It embarrassed me as a fan. I'm going to a game in december, and I want Mahomes. He's marinated enough he can show us what he's got. Otherwise I dunno how much I'll WANT to go.

Sorry, George. I dont need, or want, to read ten things about today's fiasco. I just want to be done with it.

Clark is on the horn telling the player's and coaches "not to worry".

I was apathetic for a good portion of the game.

I found myself pissed off at halftime for the shit showing, but about midway through the 2nd half: I just came to accept it and really didn't react when the Giants booted home the game winner.

The defense is atrocious. Sure, focus on the 12 points given up today and give a golf clap, but if you watched this shitfest you'd have seen Manning missing receivers and receivers plain dropping the ball. Having to hope for the offense to shit themselves is not considered good defense. The Steelers or Patriots will wipe the goddamn floor with this defense if we were ever lucky enough to make it to Round 2.

The offense has regressed to the point where I don't even know what to make of it anymore. Kareem Hunt has been ineffective and without a rushing game that puts the pressure squarely on Alex Smith to make plays. As we've seen in the previous five games, he's not getting it done (for the most part anyways, the Raiders game was not his fault) and SPOILER: he will not do it come playoff time. It's more of the same bullshit of watching open receivers down the field go ignored while Alex checks down for 2-3 yards. As you said in your 10 Things, we're not seeing Mahomes this year. I've accepted that barring injury, it's Alex for the rest of the season and I highly HIGHLY doubt we see any miraculous swings back to the offense we saw in Weeks 1-5. The Steelers (these ****ing assclowns) exposed the Chiefs and Andy Reid hasn't caught on. Andy Reid is our Donald Trump. He thinks he's the smartest person in the room and is playing some kind of 5-dimensional chess when honestly, he's just making an ass of himself. What the ever-loving **** is Kelce doing throwing the ball? I asked that same question when Hill did it vs Denver and I'm asking it now.

The rest of the AFC West may catch up with the Chiefs, and they may not. I have no idea how we still have a 2-game lead in the division, but that affords KC enough breathing room to un**** themselves for the time being. Honestly though, why bother making the playoffs? We know this tragedy plays out in one of two ways: either the defense pukes all over their dick for 60 minutes or Alex Smith dinks and dunks his way to a narrow loss. God forbid the offense and defense both get on the same schedule and decide to shit themselves on the same day in January to really embarrass the shit out of everyone.

We're stuck with Alex Smith trying to polish the turd that Bob Sutton leaves in his Depends every Sunday. I've accepted it and I hope other have as well. Regardless of how the rest of this layer cake of excrement plays out over the next two months, I'm psyched to see Mahomes take control in 2018 with hopefully a retooled and newly supervised defense.

Spot on on all 10 things, George. I think this one is harder to take than the Raiders loss.

They can't 'fix' it.

Teams are forcing KC into drop back passing situations, and KC designs their entire offense to avoid asking Alex to do that.

Because he sucks at it.

As we've all seen.

They're not going to teach a 13 year vet how to diagnose a defense and make a proper read and then have the BALLS to make the required throws.

He's had enough time to 'fix' this shit. I'm done waiting.

Spot on George.

It was just one big :facepalm:

Bring on the Mahomes.

Smith should have been cut. They should have paid Nick his 10 mil and by now Mahomes would be playing at least. Why does Smith get to keep leading and offense to that's dead? Is there a viable readon? No.

I'll add the positives I saw from the game:

1. The defense seemed to be playing more like an NFL defense and actually blitzing
2. Butker seems to be one hell of a pickup even by kicker standards

That's all I got.

The Giants offense is terrible, especially their offensive line.

Did the Chiefs defense play well enough to win? Yes.

But the fact they couldn't get a sack on statue in the pocket Manning + a terrible offensive line isn't a good look for the Chiefs defense.

Thanks, George. These last four games have been what I've had a bad feeling would happen given the hot start we had. Teams have to finish their season hot to do well in the playoffs, and I don't see that happening they way the Chiefs have been playing.

Hoping for the rapture to put me out of my misery. Same hope every season since 1970. Help me George. Help me. Great comments, as always.

And bundle of stickss like Tamba need to be cut. I'm sick of these pussies who break and stay broken because the Chiefs allow it. Cut the mother****er and tell him to use the back door because he's a bitch! A hurt back! Give me a ****ing break!

And our Achilles tendon coach should be fired! If we don't have one we should have one so the next time somebody tears one we can fire him!

How to they expect to get $80.00 parking next year when they perform like this?

Small market team! There's nothing else to do on those 8 Sunday's [unlike larger markets] so people keep going. I don't get it.

Patrick Mahomes III

Things will get better.

After they look at the film?

Just watch, this team will look totally different on Sunday. Mark it down, fam.

I just said as much in another thread. Like a drunk who swears off booze, they'll fight the urge for a week or two, then it's back to the A/A dickhole sauce!

They're both ****ing cowards!
