Chiefs MY ten things about today's game (home edition)

donkhater · 10-11-2009, 05:58 PM

1. I actually think our receivers are better as a group than our running backs. This isn't praise for the receivers but an indictment of the running core. The only player that has looked like a player all year, Charles, fumbles too damn much.

Bowe, Bradley, Wade. OK.
LJ, Charles, Battle. Not so much

2. Scary to think that Cassell was hit about 16 times today and he actually got more time than he ususally does to pass. He missed some passes, and could get rid of it faster, but I think he has shown toughness and moxie. Knock wood, but he hasn't turned it over in three games with that kind of pressure in his face all the time.

3. LJ up the middle for 2 or less yards. Again. and agian. and again. and again. and again. Ugh

4. Dallas has got to have either the most sarcastic or dumbest coaching staff in the league. Halfway through the telecast Aikman said the staff said Hali was the best pass rusher they have seen all year. The Cowboys have played NYG (tuck, omenyira), Carolina (peppers), Denver (Dumervil). Whatever.

5. That Mike Brown sure is savvy. Too bad he sucks and is slow

6. Opposing QBs are going to go off all year on Washington and Leggett. Just set up three wide, find #20 or #31 and wing it.

7. And why not? They have all day to pass. Did anyone REALLY think this defense was going to stop Dallas's offense late in the game? I honestly can't remember the last time the KC defense stopped anyone late with the game on the line. If they couldn't stop Suckmarcus Russell, they aren't stopping anyone. Depressing. My sister called when KC was up 13-3 and I told her the final score would be 17-13. KC would give up at least 2 more TD's.

8. I really think KC should have went for 2 at the end. They really never moved the ball expect for the last drive and what were the odds they were going to do it again? So it's 50-50 they'll even get the ball on the toss and then at best it's 50-50 they'll do anything with it. I gotta beleive they are about 25% to gain 2 yards. Even LJ gets that up the center's butt half the time.

9. Bad self-scouting on special teams. It wasn't a mistake that Ratliff hurdled the line for that block. They had to see that on film for him to do that so self-assuredly.

10. I think Haley just called for LJ to run up the gut for 1 yard again.

I have been looking for the rule, but I could have sworn that it was illegal to leap of the center and then also illegal to use a person to leap. Ratliff put his hand on the back of the snapper and jumped right over him. That being said, it kills me to watch the Chiefs help every other teams cause with STUPID play calling and lackluster effort.

"9. Bad self-scouting on special teams. It wasn't a mistake that Ratliff hurdled the line for that block. They had to see that on film for him to do that so self-assuredly."

No that happened last week and the announcer showed it on super slow mo and said "well if any one watches tape they might exploit that" It was happening last week and no one coached the ass hole to bring his head up at least and try to block.

They could eat all of LJ's salary and still couldn't get a 7th round pick for him. He's done.

It's illegal to do that off your teammate, pwning the opposition is still occasionally allowed in the NFL.

1.) Normally I don't like to blame the refs, as I don't think you should ever put yourself in a position to have one bad call effect your game, but damn. Two major missed calls by the refs at the start of the game. We can't get out of our own way; we don't need the ref's putting hurdles in our path as well.

2.) LJ is gimp. His running strategy has gone from put your head down and make a path to hop, skip, bounce of something and hit the deck. It is my sincere hope that he is not appart of this team next season.

3.) The Chiefs were only ever in this game because Dallas play undisciplined, sloppy and inattentive football. And yet we still lost.

4.) The offensive line is an embarrassment to professional athletes everywhere. It would be better to put 5 tackling dummies in front of the QB's. At least the defensive lines would have to go around them.

5.) Will someone please learn how to cover a TE.

6.) Our corners are really bad. The score would have been a lot worse if the Dallas recievers hadn't gone all Bowe-itus.

7.) Vrabel is our best TE. Oh how we miss you TG.

8.) Why in every game that's close does the D fold up shop before the game is over. Missed tackles seem like a common place. On top of that, either Dallas has a really fast offense, or our D is terribly slow.

9.) The Dallas players will not be happy in the film room tomorrow. As I suspect quite a few of them will be getting reamed for the amount of penalties that they had.

10.) Matt is a trooper. At some point I would think he would just tell his line to die in a fire. Honestly, I would be taking it personally at this point. He get's hit, and hard on almost every play. And while he did miss a few throws, to be honest I would be hearing footsteps in my sleep if I was him, so no wonder he is a bit jittery out there. So far though, I believe that we have a solid player at QB again. No Manning or Brady, but someone who manage the game, make the throws, and keep his head on straight.

Giving up 23 points and 200+ yards the last ten minutes of the fourth quarter and OT is your definition of stopping someone? OOOKAAAYYY.
