I Don't Want To Get Downfield's Thing Twisted
I've been streaming KC Radio this morning and listening to comments regarding Downfield. Some guys are saying he did a serviceable job in the second half, others are saying his passes were not crisp or on target and, basically, he was bailed out by Gonzo and Bowe.
I was watching my radio as closely as possible during the game, but I couldn't tell if Downfield's passing in the second half was accurate or not. So, which was it? Did Downfield come into his own in the second half? Or, was he still throwing high and we can thank Gonzo and Bowe for the win? Thanks in advance for your responses to this question and allovating my flustration. FAX Disclaimers: Sorry if re-post. |

Not real accurate. Bowe made a lot of great receptions of poorly thrown balls. Gonzo not as much but some were off. In Huard's defense, he did make a few nice throws out there in the 2nd half. I still maintain that he's Bono part II, though.

He was very inconsistent with his throws some were on target but most were into double coverage that Gonzo and Bowe had to fight for so it wasn't a interception.

Actually, the passing in half 2 was not bad. The emotion laced hate for Huard is not justified based only on second half. Its probable the hate can be justified on most other levels but Half2 yesterday, he did well.
The play calling on the first 3 possessions were a marvel. It would be impossible to script that part of the game and come up with anything worse. Clearly our planning does not take into account the other teams strengths...avoid them...and weaknesses...exploit them... Huard was made better by Bowe and Gono no doubt. But that is true of any QB...the reciever has to do thier job as well. Herms use of the word "flustrated" at least 2 times in post game comments had me flustrated.

The good throws that Huard made, any PRO QB in the NFL SHOULD be able to make. Most throws were not placed well, thank Bowe and Gonzo for the good hands.

I'm wondering about the 2nd half when we actually moved the ball. FAX |

His passes didn't look too crisp to me. I noticed alot of floaters and receivers having to adjust.

IMHO, after watching the game for a second time last night, Huard quit panicking in the second half, long enough to throw up some balls that Gonzo and Bowe made great plays on.
I think two of Bowe's receptions, would have been interceptions with almost any other receiver. The guy has incredible talent. |

that is encouraging and disappointing at the same time... Bowe making the catch and saving the interception = good... Huards lame ass arm while making shitty decisions = bad... Expect more from someone who gives us the best chance to win the game... Huard is playing worse than a 2nd year player... Each game proves to us as the fans and the NFL that Huard is the wrong choice at QB... |

If he misses those catches, I think Huard loses his job. But the good news, I was ready to see a win, any win. |

Well I had to listen to the radio call... They were saying that TG and Bowe were making great catches...
Problem is, Huard is a vet, savy, proven, and all the other terms Chiefs fans use when picking up a older player.... But he cant make the throws, he is making the wrong reads at times and locking on to his swing pass reciever... Huard offers nothing for the future and is limiting this teams progress... So sad, but so true.... Maybe we shouldnt of booed Croyle so loud in practice.... |

Huard was high. Over the middle, to the sidelines, in the flat, his s**t was high on almost every throw. To the sidelines and flat 99% of the time the ball sails out of bounds, no biggie.
Over the middle is a whole different story. That's how you get a good receiver killed and passes picked off. The guy has a noodle arm. There's no zip there, so he has to float that s**t out there. KC is going to pay for that dearly against a pass defense that doesn't suck like Min. I'm just hoping that it isn't Bowe paying with his rib cage. |
