Chiefs Is everyone forgetting what it was like this year BEFORE Thigpen? - Page 2

Mr. Laz · 11-23-2008, 07:25 PM

Game ----- Pts , Opp, Def Rank

1st game - 10 pts @ Pats, 9th
2nd game - 8 pts Raiders, 23rd
3rd game - 14 pts @Atlanta, 11th
4th game - 33 pts Broncos, 27th
5th game - 0 pts panthers, 3rd
6th game - 10pts titans, 1st

12.5 ppg, 12.3 def avg rk

it looked like we would never score 100 pts this season

Thigpen becomes starter

7th game - 24 pts @jets, 16th
8th game - 27 pts buccs, 4th
9th game - 19 pts @chargers, 19th
10th game - 20 pts saints, 24th
11th game - 30 pts buffalo, 14th

24 ppg, 15 def avg rk

not bad for a guy who has only started 5 games in his life and who didn't face top competition in college.

It's certainly been easier to watch the last few weeks, even with today's blowout. Being competitive in the first half of games is 30 more minutes than we were getting at the beginning of the season.

24 points a game is pretty impressive considering how bad the right side of the line still is.

**SAUTO** · 11-23-2008, 07:49 PM

i said it in another thread but here goes again:
4 turnovers
no takeaways
not many rush attempts(defense keyed on the pass FOR SURE)
no special teams return points
our offense still scored 31 points
Who would have believed that 5 weeks ago?
NUFF SAID.

Yes moral victories that's what it's about.

Eh, that comes with rebuilding. After the losses to Atlanta, Oakland, and Carolina, some were saying "well, you wanted a rebuild, this is rebuilding, I didn't have any expectations, etc". But, when I thought I didn't have any expectations at the beginning of the year, what I was really thinking was that there no expectations to win games or be competitive in some games..... those abortions fell below 'no expectations'.

Even with the blowout today, it feels like we're back to the point of no expectations, and back to the rebuilding phase. We suck, and there's no denying that we have lots of problems, but it feels like we have a chance to be competitive each week.

Wow. Buffalo's average starting field position was their 46. Ours was our 25. We were playing a 20 yd longer field then them the whole game on top of everything else we did to shoot ourselves in the foot. Makes you seem amazed at Pigpen's day even more.

I think it's a joke for all the Daniel stuff that gets posted around here.

Sure-Oz · 11-23-2008, 08:08 PM

Thigpen had a bad day, but damn 3 td's but 3 TO's

If we had a solid D we would've overcame that shit

I know it is... I just wanted to push the issue.

And really, I don't see much Daniel stuff posted here anyway.

EyePod · 11-23-2008, 08:13 PM

Yep, you're right. But we don't, so we need Thigpen to be perfect like *Fill in with imaginary qb who would actaully be able to win a game or even do just as well as Thigpen did* There is no QB who can succeed in our teams situation. The fact that Thigpen is doing this well is a very good thing.
