We start with the ball

need some Offense, now!

Uh

Have you been watching? We have offense. We need some damn defense

We've been delivering though.
Done that in the 1st half

of the last few games.

Time to prove we can move the ball in the 2nd.

a 4 point lead ain’t enough to sit on.

nope

and apparently 10pts and 1:15 left isnt either.

All those pundits who said Detroit had a chance to day

forget it

"And now... it's time for the 3rd Quarter... Dun Dun Dun"- Holtis
I rofl'd
In case you missed it..

Mitch just mentioned the 2nd coldest thing again.

Why is it

I never see Herm doing anything? He’s never talking to anyone, never looking at charts, he’s just staring out at the field.

Hey, look, LJ ran hard when he had no one in front of him and blockers down field. Congratulations.

Because Herm is a mouth breather?
LJ

nice catch and run.

Nice catch LJ!

I think we may be seeing a whole new man in 27

or he asks for a trade

nothing like fluffing your numbers before a trade

Dunno

He’s been pass-blocking, stopped with the celebrations, now a good catch – only one of those really fluffs his numbers…

RB's just don't have much trade value.

Especially backs with contracts like Larry’s.

I'm kind of bummed

at how quiet Arrowhead is. Even with the weather and the fact that, you know, we suck, should be better than that.

Remember, Arrowhead is also less than half full.
Bowe's first step

is just ridiculous. Everyone questions him, but his explosiveness in his first step is insane.

That play was a great example

of what Tyler brings. ON the backside blitz, Brodie would have tried to run away from him to the other side and gotten nailed. Huard would have ducked down and tried not to get hurt (and gotten hurt).

Tyler immediately looked to his man and made the throw. I love Bones.

that was a good "hot read"
Huard would have ducked down and tried not to got hurt (and gotten hurt)

I just pissed my pants

LJ having a great game
LJ

getting good blocking.

Well they should have been blocking like this for him every week.
They don't play a defense that hates life in the cold every week.
I hate

3rd and 7 with a run up the middle

Safe, and positions the ball better for a possible FG

Just sayin’

great drive

took time off the clock, got a score, used the pass and run game.

yup

we got points, even though it was 3, 3 is better then 0 or a turn over.

And marched the ball

not just a quick strike. We had problems with that in the 3rd.

Who is this team dressed as the KC offense?
That would be...

Oh sh*t… That’s US!!

I think a lot of teams are saying similar things around the league today
the culmination of a lot of work

the more Gailey gets involved and Tyler gets into the system, the better they look. Now the run and pass games are coming together. I was down on Gailey’s hire at the start of the season, but he’s done a bangup job this year with all the injuries and that terrible offensive line that’s suddenly only “not completely terrible.”

Agreed.

Now if Herm and G could figure out the defense, they’d be a decent team.

Bad

play call. throw the ball!

umm nice kick off

not

nice

shut down the wild cat

Holy shit

that shutdown on second down was Dorsey. He absolutely stuffed that against two guys.

Dorsey is playing better and better, to go along with some great stats. That was a great play. If he can just get some pressure on the QB…

two great run stops

coverage break

and then a reverse. Sigh.

We have to defend 4 downs
We

look like the DECEMBER CHIEFS.

covered in tinsel and baubles?

I dont get the game on tv, so how is our front 7 playing?

Better than our back four

in some sort of weird inverse manifestation of the rest of the season.

or is it the front four playing better than the back seven?
DJ and Demorrio

are actually playing really well. Doing what LBs should do. TACKLE. They’re creating space and outrunning our secondary but we’re not whiffing on tackles at least.

We're not? We've given up 31 points.

Not tackling very well.

I don't care at all about the Colts..

But I love Peyton Manning commercials.

His Mastercard commercial is great.
Watching the game...

…but multitasking by making Swedish Meatballs and Latkes. Back later — GO CHIEFS!

Wow...horrible defense there
Thigpen is just throwing up prayers.

But it is still working.

bradley

nice going after the ball. good job.

TG

Worth a 1st round pick.

Trade him this offseason.

I'd trade him in a heartbeat for a 1st rounder.

I don’t see many teams giving up a 1st rounder for him.

y

y would u say such a thing.

TG has 1, maybe 2 more pro bowl seasons.

We may as well get a 1st rounder for him. This draft is going to be really deep. This way we can get another top talent and build for the future. Everyone over 28 should be traded or let go.

Who is going to trade a 1st rounder for a tight end that has a couple years left?
they just cant stop us
Some things are better left unsaid
Yep.

Still the Chiefs.

Tyler

got hit there. Went to the well too many times.

nice pic

Now we can lose and get the 2nd pick and Maluaga bc St Louis is winning as is Cincy

Knew that was coming. He throws it up every time.
challenge

ball hit the ground.

They fell in love with the pass into the wind, for some odd reason.
went away from the run that series.

and it bit us. now we need to get a int.

Dammit,...

I go have a shower and this happens!!!1

How many million dollar game shows can they put Regis on?
if "too many" was a number..
Pollard. If he would've formed tackled with his head up it'd be 4th down.
We're

gonna be a problem in a season or two. Too much talent at the skilled positions not to.

Too much talent at what skill positions?
Bowe, Bradley, Johnson,Gonzo, Charles( mabye)
I'm not sure I'd describe that as great talent.
cottam

i like that guy too, he needs to get the ball more.

It looks like this could be a soul-sucking drive by Miami.
Randy Cross sweet mustache
good stop

we needed that.

now we need a TD
damnit

what the hell.

to be fair that'll be our first punt of the day
true

but it would be nice if one game we didnt need to punt. we needed points.

I think the announcers are all hot-boxin' up in the booth.

“Who’s that masked man!?”

It such crap

Didn’t want to get a penalty so he let him go…such bullshit

Is anyone else

trying to stare Pennington into a sack? Because watching our d-line scrap at his ankles like rock groupies makes me sad.

a sack would be nice
come on D

we need a turn over or we need a stop.

Why was that not a penalty for too many men in the huddle?

A guy ran off the field right before the snap

lets go D stop em
i'd hate to see another 2nd half breakdown
And THAT'S why Babin won't be anything but a backup
I hate See BS

They are breaking out the Pennington kneepads at this point

and I hate Subway worse!

>:-)

I hate it

when our safties lead the team in tackles.

Yep

Today it’s Pollard, Page, and Flowers.

And then the linebackers.

4th quarter meltdowns and 12 & 4 seasons
Tony G getting all flagged for no reason
Thirty-plus year with no Super Bowl rings
These are a few of my most-hated things…

we

need some pass deflections, something geez. we need to stop em. lets go D

More like a gathering than a crowd

That was pretty funny

SD won

as have Cinci, Rams looking shaky

geez

guys are always open.

I'm calling it now

end zone interception run back for a TD

5 minutes!!

MIA used their 2nd TO

Well Penington is the QB
Are you sure

Herm did not call that timeout for the Phins? Seems like something he would do.

Kendall Gammon reporting- "It's 0 Degrees on the sidelines"
Kendall is a bright one.

yes! this is big

HUGE 3rd down!
Tackle that son of a bitch!
ugly

simply ugly.

Who missed that tackle?
Who dove at his feet with their flippin' head down?
Pollard.
Ugh...f'n Pollard

How old are you when they tell you to look at the guy while your making a tackle…that was jv crap.

Sweet wrap up tackle by Pollard.
chapter 8 or 9

on how to lose a game in the fourth quarter.

It's ok.

It’s ok. Let’s go offense. We have so much time. And 3 timeouts.

our defense is unbelievable.
THIGGY THIGGY Oi Oi!!

That’s his new chant!

So

We drive down the field and score…. then go for two and……?

don't give them ideas
Eric Walden with the tackle on the kick

Traitor.

Another deep pass that was a prayer in this wind.
Thigpen doesnt need to try those long balls.
it's uneccesary right now.
uh oh

i wish we would have handed it off to johnson a little more in this second half. he was having a good day

I dont know what to say except

Herm Edwards simply doesn’t know how to coach 60 minutes of football. He always says that we need to play 60 full minutes, but how many games this year and last year combined did we lose in the 4th quarter? Over half of our losses. Even if we can pull this out, this is a problem we have to deal with.

bootlet

throw to gonzo or run it

We would be retarded

To not go for it

We get desperate

and panic lose all form and collapse

Are you guys pumped for the KC Cincy game next week?

Big time battle.

Battle for the #2 draft pick
No

Cincy is guarenteed to be better than us. We are 2-4 (Rams, us, Seahawks)

I'm not gonna lie...

I HATE Pennington.

49er take the lead
fuckin shit son of a bitch anil whore.
bowe was open over the middle

dang it

WTF
He slipped

simple as that.

I disagree with the bozos in the box – that play wasn’t all that badly designed

Yeah but the field is frozen

Hard to cut…not the best play in the situation especially with the slipping we have seen on cutbacks.

true enough

There’s been some slips on the field. But FUMBLE!

Run the damn ball!
Why not LJ. Why the hell not.
I have to take a tyler and wipe my thigpen.
this sucks

really really bad

yeah... hindsight is 20/20

we shouldn’t have gone for it haha

I guess that's the game
Another 2nd half disappointment

28 pts first half, 3 pts second half

plays

poor play calling 2nd half is what makes us lose. said it from the 7 games ago. and i’ll still say it. coaches change the mindset 2nd half. its rediculous.

you know they are going to run it

gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!! blitz eleven

Another shitty 2nd half.
we needs some hard hitting helmets against the ball knock it free fumble recoveries for TD
well hopefully we can beat cincy next week.
went away from the run too much

i like the attacking mode. but geese-lj was having a good day.

And THATS just ONE

of the reason’s LJ’s not having the season people THINK he should be having. THATS where people mis-judge him.

I liked it so much better

when we had an offensive line that just about guaranteed us a first down with a 4th and 1 run

yearh-the end of the year toilet bowl
Hermball

Herm has a real knack for going for it when he shouldn’t and not going for it when he should. Whichever way he chooses, it’s usually going to be wrong.

Way to burn the TO before the play, too, that wouldn’t be helpful later.

Wow Detroit Mailed it in

Rams Niners on TV now in KC

i take that back...they just took it off
Next week's game TV coverage

Cincy’s as bad as KC, right? So that game will only be on TV in the local markets most likely?

Geez...

How many more games until we get this fixed?

Fumblllllllllllllllllllllle
I say part the sea

let them run it in for a TD then we get two minutes to score 14 points

looks like it'll be overturned

Alas.

Is it indisputable?
You can't tell.
Shoud stay with what was called on the field
Arrowhead is ridiculously empty.
Arrowhead is ridiculously cold too
So.

Youre not gonna tell me that if it wasnt cold, it’d be jammed packed. I don’t think the resign of Carl Peterson made THAT much of an impact.

Youre not gonna tell me that if it wasnt cold, it’d be jammed packed. I don’t think the resign of Carl Peterson made THAT much of an impact.

So important you wrote it twice?

If it wasn’t 15 below winchill there would be more people there.

"you have to go 92 yards without a time out. . . "

and I’m cracking up.

You can do it put your Thiggy into it
but that leaves the Dolphins with 1:40 left on the clock
Wooohoooo

Fumble

Ha!

I was wrong, great!

Sure would be nice to have another time out now

Though it won’t matter much if Thigpen doesn’t start throwing with some accuracy.

don't worry

the clock stops with each incomplete

Well a 3 and out won't help.
well, crap

see y’all next week…

Some bitch is yelling (cheering) her lungs off...

I wanna kill her right now.

Not really kill... (please don't ban me Chris.)
Thigpen doesn't deserve second halves like this

I blame the play calling and lack of adjustments

Herm to fins Coach

‘You guys hiring?’

Fins coach to Herm

“No, but the Patriots are.”

yeah

new waterboy needed

Sparano: "Hahaha!"

Herm: “Hahaha! ………No. Really. Are you guys hiring?”

Well.. off to the OKC Thunder game

Maybe that team will get win number four!

(Probably not.)

See y’all next week!

Haha, OKC has only a 25% chance of having more wins than KC!
God Freaking Damnit

Rams lost by one point… we haven’t secured the #2 pick yet. Cinci won though.

evidence that playing to lose...

is a bad idea. Other teams suck, too.

Thigpen

had terrible decision making near the end of that game.

I don't think you can blame him that much

he shouldn’t have been put in the situation.

He threw for 320 yds and 2 TDs don’t forget

I agree

But that wasnt his fault. I blame the play calling. Because for the most part he did excellent today.

growing pains

That, and give him a better line, maybe another WR, and a better scheme next season.

Me, I say the QB position is his to lose next season. If a QB falls to us early, is BPA, and we can’t get a good trade-down, then we take him. Otherwise not – stretching for a QB while we have other pressing needs will be a /bad/ idea.
