Ugh!!

I still can’t believe that we were a blocked field goal away from playing in the playoffs, at home, at arrowhead, Vs. The steelers, who we ALMOST BEAT WITH PALKO. Palko! I can’t get over it. Anyone else the same as me??

AaronMannicci - January 3, 2012 reply

Is what it is

Frustrating yes, but what’s done is done. All we can do now is hope they get the issues fixed for next season, like we do every year.

Yeah, I know, But I wish this week we were talking about our AFC wesat title 2 years in a row, not who they should re-sign, and who should be drafted.

AaronMannicci - January 3, 2012 reply

weren't the chiefs down in that game

only on the chargers 48 or so when the INT happened?

Our best lineman, with nobody to block.

you gotta wonder, what the hell was the front line doing

Getting out-schemed and out-weighed.

so...should we hire a bunch of fat people?

They prefer "heavy."

And a lot of them can run sub 5.3 forties, so……

Holy shit

What a Bulls game! D ROSE!

No shit?

And the Sugar Bowl in on.

Is on.

I don't care about an over-hyped exhibition game

The players playing look like they care.

Too bad the game doesn't matter

What game does?

If it mattered, it wouldn’t be called “game.”

But if you're trying to say you want a playoff, then yeah, I agree completely.

I'll watch it if it's playoff-type

But I can’t get into these Bowl games. They mean nothing. They’re glorified preseason games. Can’t get into em. Not knockin people that do, just can’t get into it.

Pure entertainment value.

But it does bother me how sloppy some of these teams look because of the long lay off. Playoff games would fix that.

Hell yeah

What is it like a month?

For some, at least.

I think Alabama might have like five or six weeks this year.

But in the playoffs.

I never would have thought he would have tied for 1st. Figured it would be Mitt and Ron really close for 1st and 2nd. He’s been dead last in polls the whole race. But since he’s the flavor of the week right before the caucus I guess that’s what happens. He’s made it onto the list of the most corrupt politicians last week. This country is so effed.

Who does Oregon and Oklahoma State play

in the next round of the playoffs?

LSU and alabama

Can't wait to see how they match up!

The fan vote.

It would be SO easy

And the schools would make even more money. Don’t understand it. Top 4 go or do top 6 with #1&2 getting “byes”. Fuckin morons

And they can still have bowl games

Yup

I don’t get it. Cuz it seems they keep this cuz of money, but wouldn’t they make even MORE money going the playoff route?

Here's what I think:

1. Get rid of the BCS conferences crap an make each conference equal
2. Get each conference to 12 teams so each can have a conference championship game
3. Conference game winners go to the playoffs
4. Conference game losers go to “BCS” bowls
5. Other bowls games get in where they fit in

And I would start to watch em if that happened

Read "Death to the BCS?" It's all about power.

The people in control know they could make more money, but they’d rather stay in control.

oregon vs. baylor

would be a crazy crazy battle

I hope so. Some of those women tackle hard as hell

Same here in Chicago

Was 15 when I goto work(4am) I come out and the suns out and above freezing

7 degrees here in nw connecticut

its about time, it was in the 40s the other day

3rd and 5, and Denard goes downtown. Yeah, baby!

how many picks for tebow againest the steelers

more or less than 3

same poll for completions

I'll take the over

They might not even let him throw it 3 times.

Agreed. But I still take the over.

I'll say 2 picks and a fumble

1 of those turnovers to be takin to the house

He's more of a fumbler.

A lot of his passes are way too wild for the defense to get to.

Who said "He's too inaccurate to be intercepted?"

I saw that on gameday but was in lurk-only mode.

That would be me.

Shoulda known.

Came after a pass horribly overthrown.

But even Carr (I think) couldn’t get to it, even though he was playing way behind the receiver.

was that the one sabby had PI on?

Shanghai_Chiefs - January 3, 2012 reply

how about when sabby had a clear path to tebow and just stood there and rushed real late

epic Spy Fail

ugh, is he cut yet??

Shanghai_Chiefs - January 3, 2012 reply

He had a couple of good plays.

But yeah, he acts like a mimbo.

When I make the team at safety

he will be

Maybe.

Was that the one

Where they showed the replay and the receiver was standing there, wide open, for several seconds and Tebow wouldn’t throw it to him until he had no choice to?

Maybe.

are there any vegas odds out on tebow

Yep over/under on numbre of prayers during the game is set at 14.5

bet the house on the over

Soooo does anyone feel like we might just beat the Steelers at home this time around?

This game's pretty good.

If Michigan wins, I agree

But it has been fun to watch so far.

Don't like VA Tech?

I'm a Michigan fan

Hoke a keeper?

I don't really know

To be honest, this is the first game I’ve seen all year. Real life has kept me pretty busy this year, so I haven’t been able to watch many college games.

angelo getting fired seems a bit rough

the o-line issues were pretty bad though

Lovie has to be on very thin ice.

one year removed from NFC title game

7-3 with cutler. that’s some crappy ice to be standing on.

Well, if you're going to put it like that...

he always seems close to being fired though

kind of like marvin lewis in cincinnati. after being there so long, i think any coach would be on thin ice if they haven’t won a super bowl yet. at some point you have to wonder if you might’ve plateaued with that coach at the helm.

what new gm will stick with an exsisting coach

Mangini stayed a year in Cleveland

when Holmgren came in

the bears don't need a total revamp

i think it’d be a mistake to get rid of him

He deserves to get fired just for how he's handled Forte.

fair point

"Spanos knows selling tickets with status quo "is going to be a challenge""

To be fair, Spanos also knows selling tickets without the status quo would be a challenge too. If San Diego just didn’t have to sell tickets their jobs would be so much easier.

They should hire Carl.

The fans might be on to something.

Totally wrong. I was a season ticket holder that cancelled when they kept Norv this season and I was 100% ready to get them again when they fired him. Now I not only won’t be going to any Charger games I’m doing some soul searching as to whether I can even support this joke of a franchise anymore. I’m 30+ years in so it’d be a tough bond to break but I’m going to give it a serious effort. I feel like an abused wife by staying with a team who’s owners obviously could give a crap about winning. Either they’re too cheap to risk having to pay out Norv’s contract or they are intentionally trying to alienate their fans to make their move to LA smoother. The BS about "continuity" and him giving them "the best chance to get back to the playoffs" is insulting to loyal fans.

Yup, we could have it worse.

Who else could that get that would be better

I’d be pissed too. I’d have been ticked for the last 3 years ever since they started underachieving amd squeeking into the post season. But now that they’re consistantly missing the postseason there aren’t that many coaches to be hired. I think the owner is too cheap to take a shot at one of the big boys and there aren’t any glaring candidates available. I feel sorry for SD because they’ve had SB talent and can’t get er did.

Kalo Sighting

Give it 10 minutes, I'll take it back to Twitter. =)

Shouldn't you be breaking down film or something?

Did you happen to catch Mangini’s breakdown of the Chiefs’ D on ESPN’s First Tebow this morning? Pretty cool.

I really wanted to see that

but Skip Bayless turns me away

Yeah, a lot of times I can't bring myself to watch either.

It wouldn't be so bad

if he wasn’t on Tebow’s jock so much. Its a damn shame if a DJ can make a mashup of his stuff.

I can't even watch after one of Tebow's few good games.

It’s not so bad after he totally sucks. It’s kind of amusing hearing what excuses Bayless can come up with.

when he threw for 202 yards

don banks said he took the passing game to new heights! i didn’t see first take this year, probably a good thing.

What I love is each week...

“Can [insert team here] slow down Tebow?”

I've already said if they find a way to beat Pitt

I’m going to have to step away from anything that covers sports for a while. It will be unbearable.

i spent a good chunk of my mondays this season

emailing don banks and peter king to tell them how outlandish their coverage of what turned out to be a 8-8 team was. king had the audacity last week to say he was shocked at how little coverage the cardinals had gotten for their turnaround season after giving the story zero coverage all year.

One of the writers the other day...

was asking on Twitter why some of us are rooting for Tebow to fail. I told him so that people in the media like him would shut the hell up about him.

Yep, it's not Tebow, it's the Tebowheads.

And they’re perfectly aware of that.

If not, they're pretty stupid.

But yeah, I don’t care about Tebow himself one way or another. I just hate the hype with a passion.

i'm rooting for writers to use common sense

i’ve never seen a mediocre at best QB so fawned over. even with this three game losing streak, they’ve just kind of swept it under the rug; nothing to see here.

Yep

I’ve got nothing against Tebow, he seems like a good guy, but the massive hype around him got old before he even entered the league.

And it wouldn't even matter how they won.

50 yards passing, he’d get all the credit.

Von Miller could break the single game sack record.

But if Tebow overthrew a pass that resulted in PI and set up the winning field goal, it would be his glory day.

Yep.

von miller or aldon smith for DROTY?

Miller, for me.

Solid against run and pass.

Their D could return a couple INT's for TD's

Running backs carry the offense while Tebow throws it twice and it’d be all about how Tebow’s miraculous season continues.

Frankly, Stephen A. Smith is just about as annoying.

He tries to be as over the top as Bayless, and it looks so ridiculous, I hate that he’s on my side.

First Tebow?

No, I didn’t see it. He do a good job with it? I’ve seen a few of ‘em. Sometimes it’s not a great selection for his example, but when it is, I do enjoy them.

And yeah, I probably should be on some film, huh?

Yeah, formerly First Take.

Showed our DBs blanketing their receivers, while DJ sealed off the edge, forming a triangle around Tebow. Even while Tebow was being sacked, he marveled that our DBs remained disciplined in their coverage. He said other teams have made the mistake of leaving their guys to help out, allowing him to throw one of his prayers down field.

Ah. Wasn't a typo.

Got it now.

Well good. Glad others are starting to spot some of those things.

How did it take the whole NFL so long to catch on?

I’m still embarrassed for them.

I just want him

to get popped one good time. No injury or concussion just a good bell-ringer

eh

the longer he is the QB in denver, the better for the chiefs.

AGREED

i can tune most anything out. lalalalalalalaa

Shanghai_Chiefs - January 3, 2012 reply

This.

Our front seven has him on lockdown, and those receivers aren’t really good enough to beat our DB’s.

He didn't look real comfortable, did he?

What did he have, 8 completions in two full games?

Not at all.

We’ve definitely got his number. If only the offense could have put up some points, we would have forced him to throw even more.

I know, that's really what I wanted to see.

I have think we’d have had at least three or four picks.

Yup.

But then again, that’s been the truth against a lot of teams this year. Defense isn’t innocent, but they’ve put up some damn good fights only to be let down. Would have been interesting to force a couple more teams to throw on our secondary/drop back against Tamba and Houston.

Ill take Flynn if he comes with Clements

Or Rodgers.

Bad time to miss your first kick of the game

Ah, the life of a kicker.

He is walking home if they lose

party on bourbon street

Congrats, bh.

Heh, thanks

Was an entertaining game. Have to feel bad for the kicker.

Yeah, what was he, 4 for 5? But he's gonna be the goat.

Gonna be a long trip back to Blacksburg

How about that freshman kicker for Stanford?

Him too

So lets take a look at the division.

San Diego- Stuck in mediocrity with an aging team, a GM who can’t draft worth a shit and a coach that can’t keep his team motivated for at least another year. Should set them back at least a couple of seasons.

Oakland- Have Al Davis and Rex Ryan’s love child running the team and he wants to have a say and have his hands in every aspect of the team, this after mortgaging his teams future with stupiud trades. Could set them back a lot of seasons.

Broncos- Have an actual Donkey running the show, who’s now stuck with riding Tebow and using an offense that no other player can run if he gets injured. Setback at least 3-4 years.

Lets hope Pioli checks his ego at the door and gets his shit in order because this division is prime for the picking.

you have to imagine

elway is praying for another 6-22 performance from tebow in the playoffs.

all in all, the division is wide open and the chiefs defense might be the best unit in the whole thing.

Where does he go, though?

Brady Quinn? Mortgage his entire future for a QB to draft?

i dont know where he'd go

but he’d at least have a chance to try to move on without the fan base burning his house down.

There is no moving away from Tebow without someone's house getting burned to the ground.

That might be the only positive to come from Denver beating Pitt

They’d almost have to stick with Tebow then, even if he has another bad game.

Can’t wait to see our D continue, especially if we can keep Romeo and Carr. Houston’s improvement alone is something to be very excited about.

i'm pumped for bailey as well

very happy the league overreacted to houston smoking a couple blunts.

Anybody want to get Luck a little high?

If it means teams are dumb enough to let him fall to us

I’ll do it.

i think he might have a few marinovich habits

Bailey definitely seemed to be getting it towards the end of the year

Amazing that Houston

was drafted with the extra pick from moving back in the first round. If Baldwin turns into the beast I think he can, that’s going to turn into a sick trade.

It could turn into a draft that gave us several key pieces

Baldwin, Hudson, Houston, Bailey, Powe (I have hope for him, misplaced or not).

If Brown, Miller, Stanzi or Bannon turn into even decent depth players, that’s a heck of a draft.

add in last year's draft

berry, mccluster, arenas, asamoah, moeaki, lewis. i’d say he’s done pretty well two years running potentially. make it three years running, and something is brewing.

Nope. He's too egotistical. Fire him.

put brady quinn in there
