Ten Things About Tonight’s Game: Week 4 KC 29 WAS 20

10. It’s a few minutes after Midnight KC time, I just got home. I’m going to have to be somewhat brief, as I must get up in six hours to do the work thing. I’ll have to pop a couple Melatonin and Advil, as I’m really keyed up and kinda beat up. It’s been a very long, stressful day for a number of reasons.

9. First thing when I woke up this morning, I turned on the TV to see the overnight news about Las Vegas. I sat on the edge of the bed and watched CNN for about 30 minutes, then had to do the speed shower, then off to work. Tried to get a fair day’s work in before leaving OPKS around 2:30pm; got home; looked at my phone and it said Tom Petty was dead. Got bummed out, I love Petty. Loaded up the car, headed out for Arrowhead with Mrs. Blowfish with this general sense of dread. It had been a bad day for America; a bad day for music; and now the joy of the Chiefs being the only undefeated team in the NFL was being muted by the day's bad news. Mrs. Blowfish and I relaxed in the car with the AC on. I took a little nap. Had a couple pops and a sammich, then when we headed in around 6:15. The walk in the parking lot was pretty amazing . It was a beautiful, perfect evening with an almost full moon over the East End Zone. Tailgate after tailgate, people were listening to Tom Petty. It was awesome. They played lots of Petty in the stadium during the commercial time outs too, including “I Won’t Back Down” after the game was over. This one was a nail biter and a brawl all the way, and I had a feeling during the entire second half that the last team with the ball would win. I was right.

8. I know a lot of you like sideline observations, so I’ll give you a few. The Canadian Doc looks like he’s hurt bad. They took him out of the blue pop up Coleman Injury Tent, put him on a Gator, and drove him off to the East End Zone tunnel. He had his head in his hands and looked like he was in a lot of pain. I did see Mitch Morse during warmups in his street clothes, and hopefully he’ll be back in another week or two. If we can get him back we could move Fulton to guard and Morse back to center. But the O Line is going to be dinged up and dangerously thin for the foreseeable future.

7. The Peters Giveth, and the Peters Taketh Away. Peters just flat got beat on the first bomb bad by Pryor. At halftime I didn’t feel too bad, because all the defense had given up was the Peters Bomb and a field goal in the first quarter. In the second half, Cousins got Vernon Davis isolated on Houston and he rambled for 69 yards; Peters tried to bring the guy down but got spun around and ran the totally wrong direction. Then shortly thereafter he got beat for another TD by Grant. When he came off the field. he took his helmet off, and started kicking the blue cart with all the internet sideline stuff. He kicked it hard four or five times. He played his worst game in recent memory. He had four tackles and gave up 14 points. Terrence Mitchell also had four tackles and broke up a big slant pass in the second half that stopped a Redskin drive. So Mitchell was the dominant corner this week. Peters will bounce back, he has too much pride to play like he played tonight.

6. At the end of the first quarter, I looked at the stat board in the stadium. The Redskins had the ball for about 14 of the 15 minutes. KC’s offensive production was -9 yards passing (Alex sacked) and 2 yards rushing. After that, the Chiefs woke up and seemed to relax and just play ball. Kelce’s first catch for 32 yards was key to getting the team moving. Kelce ended up with another 100+ yard receiving night, and had a very tough TD catch to get the team back into the fight. That’s what a team leader does. He also avoided (barely) any conduct penalties this week, after the ref picked up a flag that was thrown on him. He also got whacked real good on a couple of plays, and came out for awhile shaking both of his hands like he may have gotten a shoulder stinger. Think he’ll be OK, he went in and ran the wildcat for a first down after the stinger.

5. Alex is a lot of things, but he is NOT a pussy. Tonight he played a remarkable game. He was our second leading rusher -56 yards-and had one more TD than Kareem the Dream. The Dream had 101 rushing, with most of that coming in the fourth quarter. It seemed that in the final quarter, Skins defenders were dropping like flies, and Hunt just wore their asses out. Hunt has another 20 yards receiving. He’s a bad man, hard to bring down, and shined in the national spotlight outplaying Chris Thompson, who ran amok on the Raiders last week. But against our Defense, Thompson could only get 23 yards. Alex got beat up pretty good again -sacked four times- and he took a lot of hits after getting rid of the ball. But he out threw Cousins in total passing yards completing 73% of his passes and had NO Picks. Bravo, great job by Alex.

4. When they brought in this Butt Kicker Guy, I was having bad flashbacks about the Kicker Who Will Remain Nameless, and how he personally ruined one of Marty’s best teams and best seasons. But the kid wins the specials award. All his kickoffs boomed in both directions. The field goal attempt he missed at the end of the first half had plenty of leg. He just pushed it a bit left. Also the snap was a little low, and Colquitt set the ball very quickly at the last possible moment. Kid kicked the big one after being iced, and you couldn’t help but feel great for him winning his first big NFL game like that. I hope he’ll be good for us. He sure was tonight.

3. No sacks for the defense tonight. Lots of credit to the Redskins for that. Their offensive line is very good. Cousins was impressive. These two teams are very much mirror images of each other. I haven’t had a chance to watch the broadcast -I’ll do that Tuesday- but I wonder how Gruden handled being a color commentator with his brother coaching one of the teams? As I said before, I was afraid we were going to give up a TD inside the last two minutes and lose, but the defense held the fort, with just enough time for Alex and Albert Wilson to get the ball close enough for the winning kick. Remember how we lost to Tennessee last year when Succop beat us on a last second kick? Nice to return the favor for a change.

2. Andy did a great job coaching after the first quarter. If you look at the final game stats, KC ended up winning TOP, had more yards passing, more yards rushing, almost twice as many first downs, only three penalties and NO turnovers. I thought it was pretty funny that Houston scored a TD on the last desperation play to screw up all the gamblers, turning a 3 point win into a 9 point win to beat the 7 point spread. That’s why I don’t gamble on this stuff.

1. I took some pictures at the game on my phone, I’ll try to load some up on Tuesday. Right now I must go nite nite as it’s getting late for and old and grumpy Mr. Blowfish. Long day, tough day for a lot of people. Grateful for the distraction the game provided tonight -it really was a fabulous game for the whole nation to watch- and grateful that we are the last team standing in the NFL that's undefeated. I’m a bit worried about a certain QB in Houston wanting to remind us that we could have picked him instead of Mahomie. It will be a short and interesting week, and hopefully a more peaceful week.

He got beat by a former QB.

In fairness, Pryor is Huge for a WR so he's going to beat a lot of CBs

With Peters and Kelce you have to take the good with the bad. Criticizing him for one bad performance or for political reasons is just dumb

Agreed. Great throw and Peters didn't get the jump.

I like how ButtKicker and Hunt had similar debuts. F up the first touch, money after that.

By the time I got to the locker room after the Chiefs win over the Redskins last night, the Chiefs PR team was saying that Marcus Peters was done with his interview so I didn’t get a chance to even see it. However, I listened to his postgame interview on 610. You can listen to parts of it here.

Peters, who uncharacteristically gave up two touchdowns on Monday night, answered a few questions that I heard on the radio.

On the Redskins going after him (PFF had Peters with four receptions allowed on five targets including two touchdowns):

“Hell no, they wasn’t attacking me. I killed my damn self, you feel me? I should have kept back pedaling on that first touchdown. Got a little push in the back but it’s the game of football. I came out and I was hella weak today. I gave up two (touchdowns). But shit we came out with a victory so I’m gonna take it as a learning experience. We’re gonna chalk it up, go in the meeting room and then, you feel me, kick back, chill and relax.”

On forcing the fumble that led to the Justin Houston touchdown:

“That made my game from hella weak to weak, you feel me? I’m not hella weak, I’m just weak this week. Next week I’ll get back on my shit though so yeah.”

On TV cameras catching him yelling something to the stands:

“You know what happened? I’m finna go get loaded.”

What a hella idiot.

Love it. He took responsibility, even though it took good plays to beat him.

Speaking of Kelce, why did they reverse his unsportsmanlike flag last night? On the replay, it did look like he taunted some. Did they decide it wasn't bad enough for a flag?

I guess you could say Pryor was just "feelin' him."

Watching Pryor, he's a guy I'd love the Chiefs to target. When is he a FA?

What I remember thinking. other than shock that they picked the flag up.. was that they determined that Kelce was celebrating the play but not at the expense of the Skins.. as they first suspected. That he accidentally collided in the traffic of Skins players as he celebrated.. but that it was not unsportsmanlike intent.

This game was way too close for comfort! I'm hoping that this was just a case of a good opponent with a lot of "skin" in the game, but I want to see a cleaner W next week.

I kept thinking about the guys from the UK visiting arrowhead for the first time last night. What an incredible experience it must have been.

Still didn't see this massive shove in the back.

Looks as if it was a great throw and catch.

Don't forget auto-pilot, I use it as well.

Sat next to a trio of dudes who had a Quebec flag with Duvernay-Tardif's name written on it.
