What were your impressions of the game?

[ferrarispider95]

I think Cassel played fine, yeah he was a bit behind on a couple of passes and had a couple overthrows. He also hit dbowe and wade in the hands a couple times to have them drop it.

I don't think you can blame him on the short throws on 3rd down. The defense took away anything deep, his best shot is to throw short and hope they can make a play. Realize the dude has nano seconds to make a decision with our line. I would rather him take a dump off than have osi riding him down to the ground.

He also made a couple plays in the 4th quarter. He looks better than Trent did his first year. Get him a line and he will be fine.

1. ALbert isn't the savior LT like most think he is. The homers on here are gonna bash this comment. But its true. Either that or he's in some mythilogical sophomore jinx slump. If there is such a thing.

2. Oline isn't providing protection at all for Cassel. He has about 2.5 seconds before someone is in his face or forcing him out of the pocket. There are countless times where the ball is hiked and cassel drops back and immediately has to tuck it and run or scramble because the pocket immediately completely collapses. The Oline also gets pushed around in the running game. How many times do we see defenders already in the backfield and LJ barely can get back to the LOS. Barry ****ing Sanders couldn't run behind this Oline. Has LJ lost a step? possibly. But I also believe he wants to be successful as well. No one wants to suck, especially after have being one of the best at your position. I believe LJ is motivated, but also knows his Oline is shitty and possibly has almost little to no confidence in them.

3. Eli Manning had all day to throw. Steve Smith was getting open all day. Though I must say we punished them with hard hits yesterday. If they came over the middle they paid for it.

4. WR's arent getting open. Combine that with Oline's inability to block enough for them to run their routes and get open, and Cassel's inaccuracy, you have a really shitty passing game. Our passing game looks like it couldnt survive in the college ranks. It's that ****ing bad. We may have 2-3 good passes a game. But that's it. Our passing game is a joke.

5. Play calling was ****ing terrible. It seems to get increasingly worse week by week. I know Haley is a new HC, but he's not new to playcalling nor is he new to the game in general and the way we've wasted TO's, managed the clock before HT against OAK, calling shotgun passing formations when it's 1st n goal on the 2 yd line, or just passing in that formation alone, not giving the ball to LJ in those situations is unacceptable. Haley fired gailey becuase Haley has an ego the size of Jupiter and though he could turn this offense into what he was able to accomplish with the All-world WR's he had at ARZ. Well we have an inconsistant Bowe with a journeyman Wade and an inactive Bradley from time to time. Oh yeah and no Tony G. Not having a HOF TE on your team to assist your passing game ALWAYS helps any offense succeed. But that's ok TE's dont matter in this offense. Our leading WR at this point is.....what......wait for it......a TE Sean Ryan, so we're good there.



I've said this for years and really its just common sense. It all starts in the trenches. IT helps to have playmakers for sure, but if you don't have an Oline that can run nor pass block, you're not gonna score points, hell, you're not even going to make first downs. 10 yrds.....30 god damn feet. for most that is from your house to the end of the ****ing driveway. Maybe even shorter. Oline can't open holes for your RB so then the defense then tee's off on the QB when you become one deminsional in the passing game.

Defense same way really, you need your front 7 to generate pressure on the QB, and if you don't, teams are gonna pass all over you, especially now a days where the rules favor WR's over the DB's. Our LB's suck in coverage. I hope to God we add a good LB via FA or the draft next season. This is a definate area of need as well as OL and WR. We could also use a true NT as well. But the one in this upcoming draft has issues about being lazy, overweight etc. Being that we have next to no talent on this roster, reaching for a risky pick in the first couple rds is the last thing this team can do.


The only positives I see in this team.....sadly......is the kicker Succop. So far he's been reliable. Even Colquitt has had some awful punts.

Also agree Fish guy. They are playing hard, regardless of the suck, they arent giving up... Reflects the passion of the Head Coach...

I'd like to take this opportunity, on my lunch break, from my PC to say, F-U

Eh. Htismaqe's question looked a lot more interesting than the stack of shit I have on my desk...

[Coach]

Colquitt concerns me as well. He had several nice punts, but it seems the inconsistency has also bit him as well. Some of his punts looked liked they were shanked.

Although he did had some nice bounces towards his way, but it's still a concern to me.

Cassel still shows the tendancy to overthrow his recievers and behind his receivers. Some of those drops were "catchable" but the throw was late and well behind the receiver.

I know he's shanked a few but all punters do.......trust me, a PUNTER is the last thing this team needs to worry about......unless it's Dan Strysinski type of bad.

I think at some point this season the coaches asked Colquitt to go for more hang time. Seems like during the preaseason and the 1st game or so he was booming long ass punts. Then all the sudden his distance seem to drop a good 10-15 yrds but his hang time went up.

i think he's kinda shanking them because he's trying to kick them so high.

Haley probably thinks our kick covg sucks and wants to limit their return yardage.

Which doesn't surprise me, virtually ever other area on this team ****ing blows.

Colquitt has always had hang time in the 5 seconds range. If the coaches are asking him for MORE, they're idiots.

[FringeNC]

The stats pretty much tell the story. We averaged 3.1 yards per play; they averaged 6.0 yards per play. We were dominated.

The only "upside" to the game is that we did at least force the Giants offense to execute. What I mean is that it was not like the Oakland game last year at home or like Buffalo getting slaughtered by Miami yesterday where a one-dimensional team has their way with you.

Sorry I just can't go at it with anyone on here about this team thats lost like 30 of its last 36 games. I will say though its funny of all people LJ talks about ego.

Well, to put this in perspective, if the Chiefs lose this coming Sunday, they will tie the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the worst 30 game stretch in NFL history with a 2-28 record.

What I saw:

(1) Offensive line played better. Not great, by any stretch. Hell, probably not even good, but better.

(2) Larry Johnson had nearly 50 yards rushing in the first half. However, I attribute it to sheer persistence from the coaches to make sure we finally got some positive yards running the ball. Granted, LJ was probably -25 yards rushing in the 2nd half. There was no creativity, no real continuity between running and passing, just 50 yards rushing. In odd fashion, we never tried to take advantage of it with play action passing.

(3) The front 7 played well for about 2 series. Once, forcing a fumble. I thought the secondary played well. But, I've thought they played pretty well all year.

(4) The linebackers suck. It's almost as if they're not even there.

(5) Outside of the sack and fumble recovery, Manning had plenty of time to throw the ball.

(6) Cassel looked bad. It was hard to use the "he never had any time" excuse this week because he had time on a number of occasions. Not every occasion, but he had his chances for sure. He overthrew Bowe for a sure-fire TD. He underthrew Engram (or was it Wade?) for a sure-fire TD. He was behind on slants and way in front on outs. He looked pretty bad.

(7) I hate to complain about playcalling because I think playcalling is subject to execution almost exclusively. However, I will say that I never understood our run, run, run, run, run approach until we get to the 1 yard line. Then we go to shotgun and try and throw the ball. Plus, as mentioned, if we're going to run that much, we should throw in some play action.

(8) Colquitt is awesome. I bet his leg is sore today.

[Buehler445]

Oh and Lawrence Tynes missed ANOTHER field goal in arrowhead. This time, the Chiefs didn't lose any points.
