Reliant was the bomb - Page 2

Hammock Parties · 11-21-2005, 12:16 AM

Lots of Chiefs fans. We sat next a trio. On the way out we were drunkenly attempting to chant the tomahawk chop.

LJ was just killer in this game. Pass protection was better IMO and the defense really stepped up. Kennison's drop that turned into an INT was awful. So were the two interceptions Texan defenders dropped.

Texans fans were booing, alot. I feel sorry for them.

Warfield's pick six really sealed this game BTW. The entire stadium melted down.

Anyone know Surtain's status? He left the game and didnt come back. I saw him in street clothes.

I think it was partially the record and partially LJs mentality. I don't know his personality from interviews or anything but during the games it definitly seems like he just wants to run with it at every opportunity. Hopefully that strong desire he has will last.

Its a hell of a nice stadium. Has a modern feel but its not overdone.

GoChiefs-

I was there as well, section 504, front row. Great game. Trent's arm still looks weaker (take back to last week's thread) and he had time to throw.

Kennison's drop was the 22nd dropped pass by a Chiefs player this season. I think we have the top mark in the NFL.

FWIW, getting out of the south parking lot at Reliant Stadium sucks.

I wouldn't be too joyous about this, because this was the Texans. Furthermore, it was an average performance for the Chiefs D-line for one, not sacking Carr more he should have been roadkill. Domanick Davis had 13 carries for 57 yards that's a 4.4 yard average. This all dictates that KC needs mor help on the DL particularly at D-Tackle. The DB's played nice, but I wouldn't praise them too much sense their scheme was limited to short routes to the sidelines. KC played good, but the Texans shot themslves in the foot with plenty of dumb errors and penalties.

Would you rather have a new stadium like Reliant, with a retractable roof, or a renovated Arrowhead and a rolling roof, for the same price tag?

As much as I love Arrowhead, Reliant is much nicer. IMO the fans and tailgating make Arrowhead the place it is rather than the actual stadium itself. Probably would depend on the extend to the renovations to Arrowhead but I would lean towards a whole new stadium.

I would much rather have a new stadium with a retractable roof, than a renovated Arrowhead with the rolling roof, if the price tags are nearly the same.

I read that Reliant cost $455 million, and the Arizona stadium will cost $350 - $375 million. Both have a retractable roof. Maybe if we gave the naming rights to HOK, they would knock a huge chunk off of the total.

Id rather have an outdoor stadium, no retract roof or anything. But Ive never been inside a stadium that was like that so I wouldnt know. Brand new stadium and nothing else. The name better be the same though.

While I agree that it was just the Texans and we should've won that game, I will point out some flaws in your argument. The D-line isn't going to get too many sacks when the offense runs a lot of quick passes. Also, Davis didn't start running wild until the Chiefs were up a lot and were playing pass defense and not caring as much about the run.

All that being said, I do agree that our D-line needs improvement. I hope we draft a top quality DE to replace Hicks next year. I also hope we can find a decent DT to go in the middle next to a (hopefully) healthy and (hopefully) productive Ryan Sims.

They were saying on tv that Houston coaches made an adjustment to make Carr get the ball out after a 3 step drop rather than five steps so he could hopefully avoid the sacks. They game planned that way.

I guess folks missed the timing graphic. ESPN showed that on average Carr was throwing the ball (when he did not roll out) in around 2 seconds or less. You are not going to get pressure on a QB if he throws it that fast.

Glad you had a good time GC.

I had to pause the Tivo and play the Sasquatch song by Tenacious D.

"In search of Sasquatch," that was a kickass "In Search Of"
With Leonard Nimoy, kickin' out the jams...
