Dwayne Bowe, Dexter McCluster Leading The Chiefs At Halftime

The Kansas City Chiefs enter halftime with a 7-0 lead over the Denver Broncos. This is a pretty ugly game with neither side doing anything exceptional.

The Chiefs' Dwayne Bowe is having a solid game with 93 yards and six catches already. He's been going up against Champ Bailey quite a bit so that's a good number for him. Kyle Orton is 10-of-18 with 128 yards passing. Dexter McCluster has the lone score of the game with a 21-yard run (which was the first rushing TD of McCluster's career).

The Broncos are running the ball a lot as expect. Willie McGahee has 87 yards on 13 rushes while Tim Tebow only has 19 yards rushing on five carries.

What are you thinking at halftime? I like the Chiefs chances right now.

Time to sign 82 to an extension
Happy with the general synergy of things on offense.

Still need to clean some things up a bit – a couple of mental miscues (Baldwin immediately comes to mind on one instance).

But man Orton just looks like a much better passer back there than Cassel.

And Lewis is actually tackling how a safety should tackle. I really hope he keeps that up.

Chiefs win, McCluster has his JC-like breakout game

And MHR is blocked on my school laptop for some reason.

It just came in that the Chiefs beat the Broncos!
Seriously....where would we be without Bowe?

What offense do we have with him? Pay him!

I like the logic there
Orton on phone to agent......
agent replies that there arent too many open qb jobs
"Well Kyle, I guess there's the Redskins..."

….
….

“You know, maybe sticking around in KC isn’t so bad.” – K.O.

Too many chunk runs

Come on boys

Amen

D line is just getting pushed around

It's like they get no yards or 6-7
Do the donks have like 10 off lineman out there
Lets go Chiefs

Just stop the run

The Difference with this script...

is we are up. hope that means something

and orton hasnt had his big moment yet. either it burns us, or its a big td, its coming
Ah yes that is also important
lets go shutout
whats it gonna take for hali to get holding call

the ref was clearly looking directly at it

Been asking that for years man.

You wont ever get an answer.

The donks dont hold, cant you see that
I find it comical how many idiots on here think Dwayne Bowe sucks and that we shouldn't resign him

It truly shows how uneducated many fans are

Who's saying dont?

I think alot of people are questioning wether he’s worth top 4-5 WR money, which, come on, he’s not up there yet

He does for us.

No one could fill his void

Well TECHNICALLY we don't know that yet

I’d still love em. But my thing is if we tag em and someones willing to give the world for em, I would think about it. That’s the only way I’d want him leaving. Unless he tries asking for some ungodly amount

ive yet to read a chief fan claim they want the chiefs to let bowe walk.

bowe=tag

if that =a serious amount of picks…..its worth it in my opinion

but no one wants him to go anywhere without serious compensation

I've read many people on here say he sucks

and they don’t want him, I’ve read it often on here

Must be reading different APs
I'm sorry Tamba

you can’t come out

ahhhhhh, a hold
Bowe is questionable to return, neck injury

via twitter

New rule books just delivered to officals, they didnt know they could call holding on a teboo team
Holy crap, Tebow's throwing mechanics are so bad.

It really amazes me that he’s even considered to start at QB. Kudos to him for persevering (to a degree) despite his catastrophic flaws.

Houston with a good lick
HIT HIM HARDER
AIM FOR THE NECK
There you go!

Keep holding onto that ball for 5-6 seconds

Piscatelli? good coverage?
Bruce lee type lick
Do you hear that
TeBoooooooo!
BAILEY SMAAASSHH!!!!!
That is a freakishly strong dude.

I hope his technique keeps coming along.

Wow, Bailey just manhandled the middle of the line there.
LOU????? LOU who?
beautiful Bailey!

Lets the boos be heard!

That a baby Baily!!
Yep Denver you traded Orton away for this guy! Nice call Elway.
Allen Bailey looks huge
Baily is a BIG BIG man
And fast, plays under control
I'm not ashamed to say I have a man crush on Bailey
really like how bailey goes from dl to lb. such a beast
not by position, but how he plays the run
Way to go Allen Bailey!
Allen Bailey!!!!!

Hes the real Swamp Thing

Could this turn out to be the greatest 3rd round draft class of KC?

God I hope so

The same fans that absolutely wanted this guy on the field

Are having some serious buyers remorse right now

Always a special teams F UP!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus the offsides
eating raccoons and possums
Well that sucked
F me, Javy.

Ouch.

arenas makes his first mistake on a punt

ouch

Way to shoot ourselves in the foot

Hold em to a fg

Theres Tebows break
Way to keep them in the game &^$#%^$
That's the only way Denver can get that far down the field.
omg....

our special teams has been killing us lately!

This is why the Broncos win Stupid mistakes .........
Jesus christ not all season

then that…..

Dammit

Here I was just a few days ago talking about how Javy NEVER fumbles

C’mon Arenas!!! Fuck!!

ST has killed us the last four games
IN the face
sucks because its field position, so lame
Damn the one time we muff a punt all season
SPECIAL TEAMMMMMMMMMMS
cmon chiefs, they had him there.
missed tackles ........smfh
WOW, maybe tackle him
Stopped em for 4

And he picks up 5…let’s go D hold tight

stuffed and picks up 5 anyway...
New ST coach.....NOW
I'm on my way!
You can't blame the coach for that.

How is that the coaches fault?

dorsey, stop getting dominated by one man, please.
And now we can't tackle.
Ok...

I better just start telling myself “at least we will have a better draft pick”

javier...

you’re out. done.

that was like his first ever muff

Lets be calm

lets not and say we did.

champions dont accept failure. pure and simple.

I don't believe we are champins
nor champions
exactly.

its a mentality. you have it, you win. you accept failure, you’re a loser. hence, the point i made.

I'm just saying...we dont need to take his duties away
So we should be in denial?

There’s nothing wrong with accepting failure. You just need to be pissed when it happens.

everything is wrong with it.

why? because obviously, even with that attitude you will still fail sometimes. however…you wont as often. that’s a fact.

Oh, I didn't know it was fact

Thanks for showing me the evidence, I stand corrected now. Thanks!

well..

as someone who has played college ball, coached, and studied sports psychology, its something i stand firmly on. maybe its an opinion.

it's just one play
hes a great punt returner, he made a mistake....
We need to get one of those perfect players you see so much on other teams.
that works glenn
Ha I was saying the same shit
The Tebows must have had a prayer session at halftime
That'll do Dorsey, that'll do
There you go
Dorsey once in a blue moon tackle
Dorsey sighting....His first tackle since week 3 I think.
Man Hali

Should have got it

Fuck you, Tebow.

Quit crying.

Wasn't no damn facemask

Shut the fuck up Tebow

That's one hard QB to bring down

Most of them would have broken in half

Tebow throwing a fit out there....
Cry Tebow...CRY

little bitch I hope we kill him

Hali should have just ripped his head off

Freaking Tebow
Tebow, you LIAR

you are going to Hell

Hali wants to take Tebows head the probowl with him
Only Way

Tebow will be there soon

No holding on Hali so no facemask
eat that five yards
Yes Tebow, No facemask

God Hates You

you don't wear a facemask on the back of your head, Dumbass
Teboo might
Implode Denver, please god implode and back into the playoffs

That would be sweet

Surprised there was no flag for

Even having his hands near Tebow ’s head.

lol denver fans
i hope they rock tebow next drive, absolutely send the house
Here comes some make up calls on our drive

I already feel it

youre probably right
I'm always right

Didn’t you get that from our last argument? =0

not at all

i guess i musta missed something

drive killer holding, 67, offense.
Is the back of the helmet a facemsk?
anytime you pull on the helmet could be called a penatly
Poor Tebow.... welcome to the NFL
Hali DID have fingers in his facemask briefly.
Are you saying he fingered Tebow?
MWA HA HA!

No… I didn’t say that at all.

Smell them, could confirm he is a bitch!
I hope Hali didn't...

Id hate for him to catch the Tebow-Herpes!

Tell him to watch it, he could get facel herpes.
Huge no call...umm the replay showed he had the back of the helmet.
Im sure replays show Hali being mugged too
Yeah.... after he let go of the facemask.
oh man, i thought he might shank that
Denver fans are ridiculous
crying like a little bitch

So if we win n Sd wins r they in!?

yes.. which is funny.
yes, denver goes if chiefs and and SD win
would have been the first team to make the playoffs off a shutout probably. let alone the division
3 straight losses going into the playoffs!
I soooo wish Oakland played a noon game and won, so when we won, 100% chance of Tebow crying a river

bitch cries like a bitch

D held em to a FG

Good job boys….now go kick Arenas in the nutsack

That was a facemask

He was going for Tebow’s shoulders but Tebow ducked down and he ended up grabbing his helmet.

good job D.

way to keep us in it. as usual…

Except for the five games where we gave up over 30+ points.
yes, but

think of the games we coulda won if our offense could have just kicked a fg or scored one lousy touchdown. we would be in the playoffs. but yeah…like last week. defense caused the loss. that was a great stand though.

Last week's loss came down to special teams
I so want to see Tebow play a playoff game next week....They may get beat by 40
It's Be Pretty Great

To see the steelers/ravens bend tebow over and give it to him in his own stadium

If that had been Tom Brady they wouldve called illegal blow to head for sure.
But it aint , nuff said
True. Not even close.
Tom Brady wouldn't have run backwards though
Fox can go screw himself
The lord would not appreciate that.

Nor would Tebow.

Nature might have an issue with that as well
These officials

have mailed in it for the season. Denver holds virtually ever play. I hope Chief coaches are letting their lineman know almost anything goes!

i fear that they are now awake with the boo fest

expect holding 67 offense

lol ya no call

have about 8 more of those and youll MAYBE feel halis pain and see the crap he has to deal with every week . jerk off

Not halis

fault tebow bitches out and ducks like a whore.

Fuck announcers not calling out offense for holding hali every 4 plays

Orton time...we got nothing to play for but pride...let the dude throw the ball please.
Exactly
The question is how can special teams screw up this offensive drive?
Botched snap on the FG attempt?
Definite possiblity

could see that happen for sure

They won't.

But B-Rich will.

They will find a way
fake punt, colquitt runs into line and throws to no one
Does anyone know if the Raiders broke the record yet?
The one

for being the biggest assholes?

Pretty sure they own that one already.
last time i check they tied it
They have 3 penaties for 33 yards at the half
Yes

3 penalties 33 yards

Bowe done for the day
Bowe out...let's see what you can do Breaston and Baldwin. Depth chart time
time for breaston to prove he can be a borderline 1 wr for the day
wow hes our speed reciever? go figure (bowe)
2nd and 1....

run the ball

Time for JB to step up
Battle isn't playing.
Isn't it amazing how pre-season and week 17 can look alike?
no jackie battle= end of comparison sir
although a leonard pope catch qualifies
Double touche
Didn't know Bowe was out

Pay him?

What happened to Bowe?
if denver makes it into the playoffs and don't play on sunday

they will be screwed God won’t have the day off to help them

oh wow that fake lol
great play fake
Ball Handling, Orton is the best
Orton is awesome with the fake!
Beautiful fake
Good

playcall!

love the Orton Play fake
Can we get Baldwin at the #1

This is the perfect time for it

Orton is good at the play action
Masterful, debergish
Where was Pope all season?
Orton wasnt starting
Getting penalties
So right next to Richardson then...
Great fake
Da bowe was making those WRs his girls today

Others gotta stand up

Great looking play fake, Kyle.

Really nice.

Pope with his token play.
Has baldwin made a catch yet....?
i believe the first catch of the game was on him
Baldwin is playing fuckin terrible
He's had what, one good game?
Well

Considering we haven’t had a QB except for like 3 weeks, not surprising.

easy now

we havent been pumping out the points

But

I thought he could pick up Bowe’s slack…..

Pay bowe……..

Who said that?

Pay Bowe how much? Fitz money?

Somebody did...saw some comments

couldnt believe it. And no one makes Fitz money except Fitz…

Yeah they need to put that pipe down lol

I just wanna know how much money his agent is gonna want. I just hope he doesn’t ask for that kinda money

Baldwin not used to having an NFL QB throw to him.
Baldwin is having a horrible game so far...
For a first round pick Baldwin has not been much a factor yet...i know he was hurt but come on
He's still pissed about the penalty that negated his behind-the-back Jesus catch.
no thomas jones...no
Ugh 2 yard Tommy
Screens...

we need more screens

McCluster is on the sideline? 75% of the offense taking a break
There's Jones contributing his 2 yards, right on queue.
Raiders just beat our record.
Some players have got to go next year...

TJ is one of those guys.

fortunately the lack of contract makes it an easy decision
You would think...

I could see him as an easy extension as well. He needs to go with Sabby chained to his punching hand.

cmon baldwin ,keep those feet, make a play
why throw that pass????
Well that playcall sucked.
Gotta get to the sticks
Did Cassel come in for a play to throw that 5 yards short of the first down?
Nope, that was Muir fixing Orton doing that by not running any WR's deep enough to get a 1st
Other than Houston, has this years draft had any impact
Bailey doing alright
hudson has played, and showed promise. bailey has played well and showed serious promise
powe

If only they played Powe… I’d like to see him in rotation. Maybe next year!

he did play, and he looked incredibly lost
i meant play hhim more
well, from what we saw, massive liability at this point. massive.
I would have loved to see Powe play some to see what we have in him
we did, not ready. not close
jalil brown on special teams has been pretty good as well.
bailey and baldwin have shown flashes

wait a few years

Don't let last year's draft blind you to the value from this year's

It takes time except in the craziness that was last year.

Houston is really coming on

Baldwin has been ok. Don’t get much from a rookie WR who misses like 5 games
Bailey has played well the last couple weeks.

A rookie who missed training camp, 5 games

And has Cassel and Palko as the QB.

Stanzi had an impact

by not playing which lead to Palko playing instead.

Who else gets the shakes when our special teams takes the field
The KC ST coaches?
Other teams, out of excitement

This game is getting to close for comfort

This is Tebow's zone too
well bowes out

and play calling is about as bad as the rams . we better hope we hold them to 6 or have d score . or we lose.

Why does Baldwin jump after every pass?

Wasn’t that the issue in camp? Seems like he is playing basketball and trying to out leap everyone…

like a bad outfielder

he needs to learn to keep his feet on the ground until it is necessary to jump/

Haley could do the playoffs...are you kidding me playoffs Coor's commercial
"I'm looking for the right 6/12/24?"
But who would want a miniature Haley in their pocket?
anybody see von miller trip mccluster?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-YhT-zt_qo

bush league.

You mean McCluster trip over Miller...
Typical Denver BS

Then Phil Simms talks about what a good job of keeping him from getting out for a pass. (Forget it is an illegal play & cheap crap!

Can we tackle please
Am I the only one

Who hates oakland more than denver?

nope i do. id rather see denver lose and get in
Nope

But I think if Oakland gets in they lose another 1rst rounder…so that would be sweet

No

They have to win two playoff games for that to happen

Shit

I’m torn

No, but the hate is buried uner a mountain of pity
My order of hate

Kansas

Oakland

Denver

This guy

is my new favorite person

I just hate Raider fans

Despicable.

Odds on this being a "Sign" or "Fire Carr" quarter?
Tebow's having a big day

4 completions.

So double his production from the first game?
It's not even the 4th quarter yet!

He’s unstoppable right now.

wow how many times are we gonna miss tackles for a loss ?
Wow....they are going to just run it down our throats....again.
haha run d is turrible

im sorry , no one is tackling and is allowing about 6 yards per run

Yeah

It’s not like this is the best rushing attack in the league,

true ,that makes up for whiffing by and not tackling
Every team seems to be doing it against them
we also are like 25? against the run

just wish we had a SILB and DT :/

I don't disagree
We have had so many missed tackles today, where the players just run by the ballcarriers
thats created by Denver

they have gotten away with that with just about everybody they have played

It's all about conditioning now, who can last?

Haley to team, “I have this plan…”

damn you tebow with your throwing it away
Wow, this Broncos offense may be the most boring thing in the NFL in a long time.
chiefs is pretty damn close
Were you around for the Palko era?
You forget the Croyle era
and the cassel era the beginning of the season
How bout the Thigpen/Huard/Gray era?

I need more beer

The Palko era at least got us a lot of defensive practice.
And several defensive player heart attacks from over-exertion
No, Palko was awful. Not boring.

In fact, it was nearly a heart attack just about every time he dropped back.

That’s not boring. It’s just terrible.

laughing always gets a rec
Belcher is really making a case

For making the SILB position an offseason priority this game.

he has for 2 seasons now.
He played somewhat solid since the Chicago game

But before that and during this game, he is still overpursuing plays, can’t make tackles, not shedding blocks, and can’t make plays at the LOS. I wouldn’t be exactly angry if we drafted Luke Kuechly or went after D’Qwell Jackson in FA

Belcher is the defense's version of Cassel. Plays well for a few games everybody gains confidence in him, then plays like Tebow passes for a few games.
Tyson sighting
on his back?

thats what i saw 2-3 times today.

damn

denvers coach on the sideline has like 6 catches this game. leading receiver ?

Carr gets another reprieve
Lucky carr didn't get burned on that play
I wish we could get solid DB play all over the field

Like other teams seem to do.

good stop and now we have to have points here
Did Seabass miss the extra point?
Orton is in serious need of a stylist.

Looks like Dwight Yoakum in Sling Blade.

He's just a boy!
hmmm

Funny i remembered more of a long haired look.
If denver does make the playoffs

I hope they end up playing Baltimore

It'll be Baltimore or Pittsburgh

Same thing really.

The sad thing is....

I would actually pick Denver over Pittsburgh at this point. With Ben not having his ability to avoid defenders, Denver’s D could T off on him and keep the game close enough for Tebow to win the day at the end.

You do realize the Broncos just got reamed by the Bills, right?
Gilberry sighting
I feel there was a lot of hype on him at the beginning of the year but haven't heard his name much
I can't decide if I love the D or Tebow more on this drive
Thank you for just staying away from the ball Arenas.
Did you hear what Phil just said KCinIL????

KC playing to keep Tebow from scrambling…..just sayin….lmao

Think he can be a offensive coordinator?
Ha yeah yeah

It is Phil Simms who also said they should’ve let Tebow throw in the 1rst

Need a nice drive and a Td please!

2 TD's in a game is asking a bit much
come on offense.

we need at least 3, by god.

We absolutely have to score a td this drive

If we finish the last half of the season not scoring more than one TD a game, I’m going to violently retire Muir myself

So much for that.
I will help start the paper work
i dont care how it happens

as long as it happens…

well

looks like chiefs are done for the year on offense . lets go D

We really want Orton as the starter next year???
Yes, which says more about Cassel than Orton
More than I want Cassel
no

over cassel , maybe

I just want Charles back.
I want my hair back, not working for me as of yet

sigh

I want my back hair.
Matt Flynn...

After that, who is the best option?

Peyton Manning
Why must we change our minds about players every drive?
Because passion rules reason
It's actually more of a play to play thing than a drive thing.
haha agree

one game , or one drive and that decribes their career

no thanks

didn’t want him picked up, don’t want him next year

personally no....but i have no real good options w/ cassel under contract, and stanzi still learning
This is becoming painful to watch.
Colquitt Bowl
I just popped all of my toes.

I’m sorry this is an incredibly boring game.

Well that went well

lol 3 points.

not 3 yards, offense.

Is Cassel been put in as QB

this looks like a Matt Cassel Offense

I think Bowe is missed
Or Muir's
It doesn't help when Bronco defensive backs keep making jumping and diving plays to tip or block every pass.
It doesn't help when we throw it so they can dive plays to tip or block every pass
SD just went up 31-16....Denver going to the playoffs regardless.
What a joke
that could get hue fired
After one season?

I doubt it.

This is the Raiders
Well just because Al Davis is dead doesn't mean anything...

His son would do it to honor his pops…

QB driven league and we have two slugs leading our charge
You rate them as high as slugs? hmmm....
Holliday spirit of genorsity
Yeah so for everyone who

Believes Dwayne Bowe doesn’t deserve to be this team’s #1 WR and that the offense could function without him, I give you exhibit A…this game

bout sums it up .

it certainly isnt good without charles either. o and the line needs some tuning up

They've had him all season.

And still sucked. So they’re capable of sucking with and without him.

They've been moving the ball the last few games

With Bowe and Orton though.

Maybe the contingent of KC fans in Denver will start chanting for Stanzi
I used to go to the Chiefs/Broncos game every year when I lived in Denver.

I’d be cheering.

Damn triple option and it's trickiness
cmon guys, that was such an obvious pitch play

belcher dont let us down

cant stop a hs offense?

newsflash: someone has to take the pitch man.

They need to just go ahead and commit to the tackle on Tebow when he runs that option / pitch crap.

Absolutely lay his ass out. Every single time. He’s a legit target when he does that.

Can’t just sort of arm hug him a little so he can go right back and do it again.

Yep

Make him afraid of rolling out. Just hit him over and over again.

Yup. As soon as he leaves the pocket, he's a target just like anyone else.

And this is the NFL. Guys can hit hard. Really really hard.

And they need to.

damn we should be up 10-3, perfect timing on the extension Pioli
so he legit missed a kick. it happens, like arenas on the return, it happens.
It's all Pioli's fault!!!
If only he was a cheaper bastard.

The Chiefs would be up 10-3!

Well...Tebow did hand us the ball at the 10 when they were about to score.
how far was that one he missed?
44
he was due

to miss one from beyond 40.

after 2 blocks, quite frankly it also messes with you mentally. didnt shock me at all
flowers came out and kinda fell on his face after he got his contract too
That will teach you to ever hand out another contract!
The Chiefs aren't cheap.

They’re just smart!

Yup, Luke Kuechly would be nice
he's too small to be SILB
Burfict?
if he's there in rd. 2, he's had a terriblre year and won't go in the 1st rd if he declares

Might be worth the risk in rd. 2

cmon defense....
we may need another Wideout

specially in case of injury to such like bowe..

mcnutt in the third
i would be ok with that
Or that one Jonathan Baldwin guy

Who Haley drafted with our first pick

Our lack of offense since Bowe has been out is proof

PAY THE MAN!

So at least the defense is good

No DBowe is killing our offense

I must admit

I do believe that this offense is better with Bowe and Charles.

gotta score...this is exactly where denver wants to be...
You know, if the Broncos are going to go to the playoffs anyways

maybe we should just march off the field and move up a spot or two in the draft.

No, it won't matter at QB, beat em
So we can waste another high first round pick

on some shitty lineman who will flop?

One more quarter to this crazy year...

For the love of Hey-Zeus don’t allow a 4th qtr comeback

gosh cmon d stand up strong
we need us a DT
12 men and they still pick it up

Come on D they’re trying to keep it out of Tebows hands

Make a tackle
What A Great Game Summary

Showed three good clips for denver, but not the chiefs touchdown? no way this is one sided announcing at all

To be fair

The Broncos ARE a playoff team.

Gregg is sad Put gordon in
Right on schedule
Running right at Gregg
This would be a great day to have Powe...

They are killing us with the run now…

Does anyone have an idea how a W or L effects or draft position?
Gordon clogs it up
McGahee literally is tripping 5 yards forward
stanzi please
Its about time for a take away

I hate the broncos!! C’mon stop this crap!!

Love it

Please keep Gordon in

gordon stop touching the ref please
there u go baby!!!!1
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKK
goodbye field goal! thanks dj. finally someone goes at him
THERE YOU GO

TEBOW CRYING!

Its almost like he is in a BCS bowl...
TEBOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
BOWE

That’s why we need to resign Bowe he went out & now our Offense is gone

well its put the spotlight on Breaston and Baldwin thats for sure it will be interesting to see which one steps up to make a play here
CHUMP

I know Chump Bailey glad he is out…

LOL tebow crying

like dude you just got sacked by 3 guys

Awesome, now it is time for a 3 and out!
heck of a play by willis
What I"m tebow!

I don’t get sacked! Must’ve been illegal!

that bitch.

Man, these Colquitts are something
Fuckin Colquitts, man..
Shouldn't that be at the 4?

Love it how the ref stares right at em and puts it at the 3

New thread is up just FYI
Thormans are slippin

I didn’t pay for lax!

damn those great punts..

looks for some jones and mccluster . in other words 3 and out

SCREENS DAMMIT!!

This is definitely going to go well
Can we get Baldwin at the #1?
