Chiefs KC/NE: Chiefs weren't bad (and, no, I'm not reeruned) - Page 2

JD10367 · 11-21-2011, 11:00 PM

I know it looked bad on TV. And on the scoreboard. But from inside the stadium it looked different. The Chiefs D did a good job pressuring the Pats in the first half. They had two blown plays against Gronk and he made them pay. On offense, Palko looked much better than Cassel; considering the circumstances (thrown into starting @ NE on MNF) he looked decent. He had two tipped-ball INTs that could've been caught, and one Casselish INT in the EZ. I said the Chiefs had to play perfect, which they didn't, but the story of this game was basically two passes to Gronk, a PR by Edelman, and two tipped INTs.

Actually, Haley didn't help with his weird playcalling. On 4th and 1 you don't go for it, and take a delay call to push you out of FG range, but then you turn around and onside kick to give them the ball at midfield? He also didn't call enough downfield passes, as Palko hit a few and the Pats were sending towelboys in as DBs. I like Haley but from the get-go his coaching smacked of "I don't think we can win and aren't as good". JMO.

Get ****ed.

Either you stop them or you don't. You sound like a whiney douche. Oh wait, you are a douche.

I liked the Patriots' attitude, but questioned keeping Brady in there. Why not keep scoring and prevent bizarre things like 4 TD fourth quarter comebacks from happening? Not that the Chiefs would be the ones to do it, but it's good to have your team keeping a merciless attitude toward the opponent. If the Chiefs had that, maybe they'd stop losing to teams with 0-X records coming into Arrowhead, and teams that complete 2 stinking passes the entire game.

Anyone that's actually watched this team knew they were going to do exactly what they did. You're just stating the obvious here.

We don't know why Todd and Muir have the football IQ of a houseplant, but they do.

Did you see Gruden blowing random people under the bleachers

I was in the EZ and not near the MNF crew... Although Suzie Kolber did go by, and is even cuter in person.

Throwing on that third down was trying to run up the score . After the penalty, running on two consecutive plays, 3rd and 4th down was not.

Yeah, they are approaching the top third in the league in pts against. Sometimes when you are up, you let the other team move the ball and eat clock for you.

Numbahs is right. This game was a lot closer than the score. And the Chiefs never quit.

**notorious** · 11-21-2011, 11:15 PM

Ya, it felt a lot more like 27-3 instead of 34-3.

ClamChowdah · 11-21-2011, 11:16 PM

We should be beating the teams like the Chiefs by more than 31 points, Belichick won't be happy, we were expecting a minimum of FITTY POINTS.

Like Numbahs said, that game was a half dozen plays from a pick em game.

Your team hit like hammers too. I am fearing looking at the injury report.

Titty Meat · 11-21-2011, 11:21 PM

Go back to Patriots Planet and take that other Patriots glutton with you.

aturnis · 11-21-2011, 11:22 PM

JD. What is with the Patriots OL taking cheap shots after the play? Saw it at least twice. Once Marcus Cannon hauls off and flings all 190lbs. of Arenas, who had his back to Cannon, across the field after the play for no reason. The two didn't engage at all on the play.

Then later, on the Pats 4th down TD pass that was nullified, Mankins hauls off and rails Amon Gordon who had his back to Mankins for no apparent reason...

What gives?

You could say the same about any NFL game.

Actually, I take that back. A close NFL game usually has about 2 or 3 plays that really help decide the outcome...
