Chiefs Okay, time for a win. - Page 2

SenselessChiefsFan · 10-05-2009, 09:00 AM

Other than the Raiders game, this season is largely going how I expected.

The Raiders game is really frustrating because the Chiefs are a better team.... but a combination of stupid head coaching decisions like not going for it on fourth down inside the five, as well as a couple of poor decisions by Cassel in his first week back from close to a month off, and a late hit on a QB...... costs us that game.

But, I expected the Chiefs to beat the Cowboys this week. I am a little concerned that they lost this last week in the same manner I expected them to lose to the Chiefs this week.

They were unfocused, got away from the run, overconfident and sloppy. These are all the things I expect from them.

With that loss still fresh in their minds, I expect them to be more focused this week.

That said, this is a winnable game for the Chiefs.

The Cowboys will still have an inflated opionion of themseves and little respect for the Chiefs.

O'Callahan had a decent game, and I think that as he plays with the starting unit, the line will get better overall.

Cassel had an erratic day yesterday, but he hasn't had a ton of time with Bowe the last couple weeks as Bowe has been hurt. He hasn't had any time with Pope, and Bowe and Wade both dropped passes. Bowe's drop was a little behind him.... but he still needs to make that catch.

All it takes is one good break early in this game, and the Cowboys will start pressing again. When Romo starts pressing, Page and Flowers can have good days.

I do hope that DJ is able to play this week. I know he is out of position at times, but he is the only linebacker we have with the chance to cover Witten.

I know the Cowboys are more talented. I just think that they aren't as well coached as the Eagles, the Ravens or the Giants. So, I think the Chiefs can steal this game.

The Chiefs have a chance to write a large part in the final Chapter of Wade Phillips head coaching career. Perhaps it is the homer in me... (stop that Homer, I am trying to post...what a perv)

Anyways, can't get sucked into the negativity even if I am unhappy with Haley. Even if I am discouraged.

The reality is that there are no tougher teams on the Chiefs schedule than the ones they have faced, and other than the Steelers (They will have Polamalu back by then), there are no teams as good as the Eagles, Giants, and Ravens.

So, it 'should' get better. Hopefully.... starting this week.

Mr. NonSenseChiefsFan-
You gave plenty of reasons in your post that would suggest the Chiefs have no chance.

Just have your DEs fall down near LT Flozell Adams and the refs will call a tripping penalty ending a drive.

Because of all the primetime action, I've seen a lot of Cowboys games this year. They have an aggressive defense with a play-making offense that runs the ball very well. That is a scary backfield with Barber/Choice. If Wade calls a run more than 50% of the time, I think you guys will win easily. Your defense is susceptible to a few plays on offense every once in awhile, but we don't have that kind of capability on our team.

Skins D is better than ours by far. The talent and team speed on the redsins compared to the chiefs isnt even close.

Don't be so sure about Romo having a good day. Something is not right with him. Maybe he misses Jessica Simpson . But he is really pressing to make the perfect throw. He is scared about throwing an interception that he overthrows and doesnt see open receivers. He was frustrated the Broncos covered Witten pretty well he didnt have many options he was comfortable with. He has been very erratic.

Have you watched an entire Chiefs game this year?

The cowboys and redskins are teams i think we can beat, but we'll find a way to barely lose

Not saying the Chiefs will dominate the game, but they will beat the Skins.

It will be tough, but the Skins can't put up points like the Ravens, Giants or Eagles.

The Chiefs will beat the Cowboys when Ted Kennedy rises from the dead and reveals himself as the Christ Jesus.

Just for Shits and Giggles, heres how much was bet on the "When will the Chiefs first win come" in the sports betting.

Week 1 (@ Ravens) - 4689
Week 2 (Raiders) - 92375
Week 3 (@ Eagles) - 2000
Week 4 (Giants) - 600
Week 5 (Cowboys) - 100
Week 6 (@ Redskins) - 375
Week 7 (Chargers) - 100
Week 9 (@ Jaguars) - 965
Week 10 (@ Raiders) - 2000
Week 11 (Steelers) - 100
Week 12 (@ Chargers) - 100
Week 13 (Broncos) - 200
Week 14 (Bills) - 100
Week 15 (Browns) - 100
Week 16 (@ Bengals) - 100
Week 17 (@ Broncos) - 100
They'll finish 0-16 - 100

I'm guessing the same person put 100 on all those games, they are probably going to win a lot of money.
