Chiefs Ten Things About Today's Game - Page 5

Ten Thing About Today's Game

10. Well, what can you say except "Play Good Football?" Another perfect day at Arrowhead. Clear skies, cool temps, sunshine, national audience, and as expected, another brown runny crap down the leg from the home team. The last win at home was 2011 vs. Green Bay. God I wish we would have lost that game. Because with a loss, we probably would have a totally different coaching staff today. To say this team is poorly coached is a major understatement. More on that later. CP's banner #2 looked very nice flying over the stadium. But I'm afraid banners aren't gong to have a dent on this organization. After hearing Kung Pao Panda's post game presser, I am now convinced that this organization is completely delusional. Completely and utterly ****ing delusional. They think this is Pop Warner, and participation ribbons are in order. It's sad. Very very sad.

9. Everyone has heard the stat that it has been since 1940 that a team has gone so long without holding a single lead. Seven games without a single solitary lead. And until McMidget's garbage time TD, no touchdowns in 33 or 34 straight possessions. The Chiefs, like the Royals, aren't content with suckage. Oh no, the suckage has to be historic. Historic suckage is what we are witnessing. And the scary thing is, we're not even halfway done yet. It boggles the mind as to what this group is capable of now that it's "mail it in" time. We could be seeing a true 1-15 season, and the one win was a miracle. Problem is, I'm way past the point at being angered by, depressed by, or amused by the ineptitude. I'm now reaching the condition of total apathy and complete acceptance of the futility. I'm just sad to be a Chiefs fan right now. It makes me sad to put on Chiefs gear and go out in public.

8. The Chiefs win almost every game's time of possession. I think that's because the team averages around five yards a play, and it doesn't matter if its a pass or a run. Today KC ran the ball 22 times for 4.6 yards per rush. They completed 22 passes for an average of 5.3 yards per pass. I swear to God, that's almost impossible to do, especially when one catch was Bowe for 46 yards. I've never seen a team throw so many one or two yard pass completions. Why even have plays like that in the playbook? It's unbelievable, really. Just unbelievable.

7. Here's another unbelievable stat. KC has little offensive firepower. The best weapon they have, Jamaal Charles, got five carries today. Five. And only one in the second half. Chiefs QBs had almost twice as many carries -nine- as the guy who is supposed to be your offensive engine. Charles has more carries for negative yardage than any back in the NFL this season. Who is drawing up these plays? How can a guy as explosive as Charles have that many negative carries? Is he still hurt? What is the problem here???

6. I am now convinced that our current problems are a direct result of bad coaching. This team is undisciplined, in all ways imaginable. They lack in offensive imagination and execution. They have lapses in defensive coverage. They have penalties at inopportune times. They drop wide open passes (yes YOU Steve Breaston).They have confusion on pass routes. They burn time outs for no good reason. Many times this year, we've called time out on offense, only to send in a play that results in a pick or a sack or negative yardage. Today Janikowski misses a field goal inside 40 yards, very rare for him. But Jalil Brown jumped offsides, that gives Seabass a second chance,and he nails it. After a garbage time fourth quarter TD, KC tries an onside kick and get the ball, but Houston is offsides, kick again, Oakland falls on it. Bad teams shoot themselves in the foot, and at this point, we have no toes left.

5. There were several things that disturbed me today that I have no answer for. Quinn's "head injury" was even more suspicious than Casshole's "head injury" vs. Baltimore. After Quinn got picked, he went to the bench and was reading pre-snap pictures with Daboll as usual. He had conversations with Daboll, and Casshole, and several other players, looked completely fine, then a few minutes later, he's whisked off the field to the locker room, completely under his own power, with a "head injury." Casshole is trotted back out and we get what we expected from Casshole. Picks, fumbles, short throws on third down, and a garbage time TD. I went back and looked at all the hits Quinn took in the first quarter, and again, see no evidence of head trauma on any of those shots. If you want to bench Quinn because he's stinking up the joint, fine. Just don't cloak and dagger it. Put Casshole back in and see what happens (turnovers happen, losses happen.) Just don't insult our intelligence. At halftime we knelt on the ball on the last play from midfield, down by seven. Why? Because the coaching staff doesn't trust Cassel to throw a Hail Mary. If you taped the game, you can see my friend Mr. Doggity (sitting next to me in his Scream mask) doing a face palm. Face palm indeed. Casshole, the $63 million man, can't even get off a Hail Mary:

4. Here's another disturbing stat: KC gave up three sacks today. Oakland had zero. Carson Palmer is the most immobile QB in the NFL. Where was Hali? Where was Houston? Where the Hell was Ratboy Pituitary? And Oakland only had two penalties all damn day. KC had five penalties. How bout this stat? The Raiders were only 2 for 12 on third down today, and STILL beat us by 10 points. The only defensive players who had decent games were DJ and Ratboy. Ratboy makes Glenn Dorsey look bad and grossly overpaid.

3. Stanford Routt -who I am now going to call Fred Sanford- is ****ing awful. The Raiders threw at him on the very first play. He was two steps behind Heyward-Bey. The ball was under thrown and he got an excuse me pick. But the Raiders went back after him and burned Fred Sanford for their first TD. Then in the second half, Fred Sanford whiffed on a tackle on a simple swing pass, to H-B, then Kendrick Lewis threw an ole' shoulder at him as he waltzed into the end zone for his only catch of the day. Fred Sanford sucks, the Raiders know he sucks, and they threw at him repeatedly because they knew he would be penalized, or misplay the pass, or just flat get beat. You know, all the shit he used to do as a Raider. He is the weak link in our secondary, and this year, that's saying something.

2. Body language tells a lot. When Casshole came out and fumbled the snap to start the second half, you could just see the whole team deflate. The game was basically over right then and there, even though KC was only down by seven points. As the fourth quarter was winding down, I was angered to see guys like Siler and Brown joking, laughing and smiling on the sideline. Especially Brown, who was on the sidelines laughing after his offsides penalty gave Oakland a second chance at converting a missed field goal. These guys have mailed it in,lock stock and fumble. There is no fear of Kung Pao Panda. The players to a man know this thing is going to be blown up at the end of the year, and as long as the paychecks cash, well, let's just say I can foresee lots of travel brochures popping up in the locker room come December as players book their January vacations. Meanwhile, enjoy this picture of Arrowhead at the five minute mark of the fourth quarter. This picture is becoming the new norm for Arrowhead, as nothing is left in the stadium at game end other than me and a few thousand cheering, jeering visiting fans rubbing my nose in it.

1. Thankfully this Thursday night I will be out of town, and I'll just tape the game and watch it at my leisure if its not too brutally awful. Frankly I'm expecting brutally awful. It's hard to imagine we'd play worse the second time vs. San Diego than we did here at home. But Norv's job is on the line, and since it's a national TV audience, I look for the Chargers to try to totally destroy and embarrass the Chiefs. Then we go get the same treatment the Sunday night after in Pittsburgh at the hands of a very pissed off and revenge minded Todd Haley. The blackout vs. Cincy back here in November could be a truly historic date in Chiefs football history. I hope we paint the whole freaking place black. This is the 50th Anniversary season, and we are PISSED OFF. As the Chiefs own PR spin meisters say: "Together is POWERFUL."

Chiefnj2 · 10-29-2012, 08:20 AM

I watched the game in condensed version this morning.

1. Offensive playcalling in the first half wasn't very good.
2. On the throw before the INT Quinn's head definitely bounces off the turf. I don't know why people are questioning some phantom concussion.
3. The Raiders knew exactly how to attack Routt and did so every chance they got.
4. No real pass rush from KC today.
5. KC is a bad team and gets in their own way. A decent run is called back for holding. Cassel finally throws a good medium pass and its dropped.
6. Late in the third quarter Lilja was having major difficulty snapping the ball in shotgun. Cassel did a really good job snagging a few snaps that were bounced off of the turf.
7. Cassel's pick - poor throw or did Baldwin run the wrong route and give up? Both?

**007** · 10-29-2012, 08:25 AM

The chiefs were so bad I ended up with the stomach flu last night.

The verdict is in.

The following are gone:

1. Scott Pioli
2. Romeo Crennel
3. The entire coaching staff
4. Matt Cassel
5. Brady Quinn
6. Peyton Hills
7. Glenn Dorsey
8. Tyson Jackson
9. Ryan Lilja
10.Steve Breaston

the secondary needs cleared up too plus some linebacker help .. christ where do ya start .....

At what point in the game did the cheers turn to boos? It seemed to happen pretty early this week.

What was the overall mood of the fans in attendance and are there still so many delusional kool-aid drinkers?

I feel nothing anymore watching this team for first time in 42 years. I wasn't mad, sad, or disappointed; it was expected. How bad is that?

Cheers to boos: After Quinn's pick. Then more after Arenas muffed punt. Fans were actually pretty easy on Casshole this week considering.

Overall Mood: People wearing bags over their heads. Only people happy these days inside Arrowhead are visiting fans and (apparently) Brian Daboll, who thinks this whole situation is amusing.

Feel Nothing: I......have become....comfortably numb.

I've been peeing out of my butt since the game also.

**HemiEd** · 10-29-2012, 08:57 AM

Nice job as usual George.

Do you agree with me that this is the Chiefs worst effort of all time? I don't recall it being this bad in the 70s and 80s, do you?

Maybe time has tempered the memories, but I can do without this type of entertainment, very easily.

WTF? Football players consistently hit their heads on the turf. Only ours seem to get "head injuries" each and every time.

Either we are getting discount helmets at Dollar General, our players are pussies OR Failoli want his boy toy back in the game.

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, its been this bad before. A couple of times. The good news is, every time it's been this bad, it's been the agent of major change.

1977: (14 game season then) Chiefs go 2-12. Paul Wiggin fired mid season, Next year we get Marv Levy.

1988: 4-11-1. After two four win seasons in a row, Gansz is fired, Lamar brings in King Carl and Marty.

2008: 2-14: Herm and King Carl get whacked. Pioli-Haley brought in.

So, 2012: 1-15 (potentially): Pioli-Crennel out, bring in the next contestant in the "Who can fix the Chiefs" game show.

Maybe time has tempered the memories, but I can do without this type of entertainment, very easily.

We're not even halfway done yet. Imagine what December will be like?

Yeah, wilcots... "cassel comes back in and right away they score two field goals"

2 field goals, just what we needed.

King_Chief_Fan · 10-29-2012, 09:41 AM

I might reconsider Hillis. I think this guy can play, but not in this offense...none of them can so it seems. Lilja is washed up, old and tired. Dorsey isn't what we thought he was. The rest of that list is just plain lousy and won't play for any other team after the Chiefs dump them.

Hillis is dog shit and makes Zach Thomas look like a good FA acquisition by Pioli in comparison
