Football Pats/Chiefs: A few final thoughts - Page 4

Amnorix · 11-22-2011, 08:54 AM

So a few thoughts on last night's game.

1. Haley's decision to NOT go for it on 4th down and 1 from the Pats ~40 made no sense to me. Even though he punted and the defense held and the Chiefs got the ball back, it seems to me that you're 4-5 and the season is slipping away. Pats defense isn't reminding anyone of the 2000 Ravens or '86 Giants. Go for it.

2. I liked the decision to do the onsides kick. But then you remember they didn't go for it on 4th and 1. Que?

3. Holding call on . . . . errr, that Pope? Whoever it was that wiped out Edelman. Yeah, ticky-tack.

4. Endless bitching about refs in the game thread -- pathetic. Just pathetic, endless "the refs SCREWED us!!!111 giggity giggity". Just stop it. Make the complaint and move on. EVERY team in the NFL thinks the refs are out to get them. My Dad spent 50 years bitching about refs and umpires in every inning, quarter and period of every sport he ever watched. It was stupid then for him, and it's stupid now for you.

5. Palko doesn't seem like the real deal. He's young yet, so maybe, but...

6. Don't worry about the Chiefs seeming inability to cover Gronk. Nobody can. He's just a beast.

7. Chiefs defense seemed pretty good, overall. I imagine ti will be much better when Berry is back.

8. Pats came out really flat in the first half, but credit to the Chiefs also. They showed spirit for a good while.

9. Running up the score -- I don't mind Belichick going for it on 4th down late near the end zone. Punting isn't an option, and kicking a FG is stupid, but I'd much rather just man up and run it up the middle rather than what we did. At least this proves that BB does it to everybody, even his buddy Pioli. He's consistent, I'll say that. Pats have no right, ever, to bitch about anybody rolling up the score on them though.

10. Alot of very sad posts in the game thread about trying to hurt Patriots players now that the score is out of control. WTF kind of Raiders-esque thinking is that by Chiefs fans? And if any of them is a parent, WTF kind of sportsmanship is that?

11. Nobody will know if the Patriots really have a good team until the playoffs. The rest of it's schedule is a cake-walk. They may really be pretty good, especially once some of the injured bodies come back, or another one-and-done.

12. Patriots' "lowest ranked defense". I'm hearing that alot, on TV and around here. Yes, BY YARDS. But the Pats defense is middle of the pack by points, the only thing that matters. Not that the defense is all that good -- it isn't, but this "NFL's worst defense" is a tad misleading.

So I'm going to point it out.

If that ties your panties in a knot, or makes you think I'm the second coming of Tom Cash, that's fine. Whether you (or anyone else on here) roots for the crippling of other team's football players won't change a thing for anyone anywhere. Go for it.

But if some other team's player does something dirty to a Chiefs player, then you'll have to

about it. Or be a total hypocrite. Whichever. That too doesn't matter.

Fake-wishing injury upon a player from a fan's perspective is different than actual dirty hits and cheap shots on the field of play.

Yes, you ARE Tom Cash. You can't see any kind of nuance into your reading of these posts. "This guy said he wants the Chiefs to break my player's legs??? By golly that's classless behavior and it must be stopped!!"

Let me know when you're finished attacking all those windmills, Don Quixote.

Maybe you should stage a protest or something.

Regarding #10....

KC fans cheer for their own players to get hurt, die, etc...Why would that surprise you in the least?

Yeah, it doesn't bother you at all, yet here you are crying about it like the whiney little **** you've always been.

What is it about Patriot fans that makes them so damned pedantic? Do you really think that the success of your team imbues you with extra knowledge? You don't need to tell us anything about our team. We watch them play every week, and we don't have to be patted on the head and given a disingenuous "atta boy" when they get their taints handed to them.

Because we're practically reeruned savages according to Amnorix

....says the guy that thinks he knows more about every team in the NFL than that team's GM, much less its fans...

Oh sweet irony.

Now that is actually a pretty fair point...

How are Adalius Thomas and Brandon Meriweather working out for you?

1. Definitely a "go for it" scenario if there ever was one. That's probably why he didn't.

2. I liked it, too. The classic Haley WTF? decision that almost worked but didn't.

3. That, my friend, is an example of what your father was right. If that was a hold, I'm an antelope running free in the grassy hills looking for a female antelope with whom I can share my antelope life.

4. Hali got held on the way to the airport.

5. Palko would make a good coach's assistant someday.

6. That dude is a crazy, badass dude.

7. Our defense is our strong point, that's for sure. Held you to under 40.

8. We did come out with spirit and verve. Unfortunately, Brady took our verve and put it into re-verve.

9. We called a timeout to rest our guys. We deserved it.

10. I don't understand this either. In the old days, we would simple pray that the enemy quarterback be decapitated.

11. I'm sure this is interesting to you.

12. Well, we put 3 on your ass and Brady on his ass 3 times. That's not going to help.

added to number 12.

In the Life Magazine thread the topic of Nazis on carnival rides came up. Here's my best thinking on the favorite carnival rides of leading Nazis.

Hitler - Log flume
Goering - Tilt-A-Whirl
Goebbels - Merry Go Round
Himmler - One of those overhead tram things
Albert Speer - Riverboat adventure ride
