Chiefs Two things that made a difference last night - Page 2

InChiefsHeaven · 11-22-2011, 06:27 AM

First, the BS holding call on Pope when Jones broke a long run for a first down. That was as ticky tacky as it gets.

Second, on the onside kick, I don't think anyone touched it. They called illegal touching on Kendrick Lewis, but he didn't touch the ball until it went 10 yards. When the ball was on it's way, even the announcers said that looked like it might have gone through cleanly. Could that have been challenged and if won, would have wiped away the penalty?

Look, we were not going to win the game. I get it. Palko looked fun for about 24 minutes, then it all went to hell. But those two incidents really screwed us when we were actually moving the ball and possessing momentum.

I dunno. I was drinking. I was happy. But it ended almost exactly the way I described that it would. ****in' Chiefs.

Even if Pope isn't called for holding and KC gets another FG out of the drive, it was only a matter of time for the dam to break. NE came out in the 2nd half running the ball which opened up the passing game. The D broke down as it always does, and they pressured Pako in the 2nd half.

There is no doubt.

Yep. If the Chiefs could close they'd have been up 17-0 in the first half and it would have been a completely different game. They are the suck.

In Tyler's defense, it was not the QB that lost this game. I was impressed with the short game passing the 1st qtr, but that is usually the easiest to do to start a game. Not running the ball well and no down field passing was going to kill the game plan. Dink & dunk only works for so long when you can't stretch the field or run the ball effectively.

Indeed. You could feel the tide turned after their first TD drive.

From a couple days ago in another thread, regarding weather or not we'd be competative on MNF at the Pats:

Quote:

I'll be drunk. Telling myself that I don't care. Telling myself to expect a loss. Telling myself we will have another really good low draft pick in 2012. Then Palko will throw a 10 yarder to Bowe who will scamper for another 15 yards, and I'll put my drink down and lean forward towards the TV. Then the next play, Battle will get 4 yards up the middle, and I'll nod looking intently at the screen. Then the next play, Palko finds McCluster in the flat who scamper for another 12 yards, and I clap my hands intensely and say out loud "That's what I'm talkin' about fellas...Comeon!!" Then the drive ends and we kick a field goal, and I think "we can win this. We CAN win this! COME ON CHIEFS!". Then I pour another drink.

...3 hours later after the Chiefs are totally destroyed I'll be in my garage angrily smoking a cigarette and swearing incoherently at the TV listening to Jaws and Chucky slob all over Brady's knob.

...then I'll do it all over again the next week. I love my Chiefs, even if they hate me.

****, I hate being right. This is exactly what I predicted...for the most part.

It was, but it was not a blatant hold. A lot of these kinds of holds the refs don't call. I'm by no means saying there are NFL conspiracies, but I think the human nature in refs always deprives the inferior team of benefit of the doubt against elite teams.

Three guys covering him in the endzone pfffft... I can squeeze it in there/ Palko.

You guys are wrong about onside kick. Replay in slow motion showed it didn't touch his leg.

It didn't hit Lewis' leg, it hit Greenwood's.

Exactly. The refs called it wrong, it wasn't 23 that it touched.
