Ten Things About Today's Game
 

Ten Things About Today's Game

10. Well, that wasn't so good, was it?

You would think a team playing for a share of the division lead, at home, in perfect weather, coming off a big come from behind road win on Chiefs alumni day, would not brown out in their collective shorts. But shat in the shorts they did. Big time, massive stinkage. If you didn't get to watch the game, good for you. You were spared three hours of your life you would never have gotten back. I'm going to give you the speed reading version of the game, so you can re-live the horror in double quick time. I don't think I've ever seen a worst first half of Chiefs football at home, ever. And that's saying something.

9. First Quarter: Refs come out for the coin toss, people cheer the "real" refs. SD wins the toss, takes the ball. Special teams guys come on the field all chippy, picking fights from the opening kickoff. First SD series, Berry gets a PI penalty on a third and 10 trying to cover Antonio Gates, sustaining a SD drive. Fans boo the refs mercilessly. SD pushes in our shit all the way down the field, five minutes in, score on an easy four yard pass to Royal, SD goes up right out of the gate 7-0. KC gets the ball back, special teams guys are chippy on the kickoff. Casshole tries to move the team, under throws Bowe by a good five yards, pick by Weddle (turnover #1). SD gets a gimme 24-yard field goal, it's now 10-0 SD nine minutes into the game. SD kicks off, KC gets ball on the twenty. Moeaki jumps offsides on first play from scrimmage. Next play, Charles gets the ball ripped out (turnover #2), SD gets the ball on KC five yard line. Two plays later, Jackie Battle easily scores. Ten minutes into the game, SD 17-0. Stadium music guy plays Quiet Riot doing "We're Not Gonna Take It." KC gets the ball back, Casshole throws a three yard pass to Baldwin on 3rd and 10. It's a three and out, KC punts.

8. Second Quarter: Casshole drops back, gets whacked, tries to fumble but refs call it an incomplete pass. Couple of plays later Casshole actually hits Bowe in stride on a 36 yarder that could have turned the game momentum, but Winston is called for lining up too deep behind the center, and play is called back. Very next play, Winston and Gray both fail to pick up a blitzing Phillips, Casshole gets whacked, fumbles, KC thankfully gets the ball back. KC loses all momentum, punt. Gates beats Berry downfield again, SD kicks a 47-yard field goal with a back up kicker, now it's 20-0 with eight minutes left in the half. Chiefs get ball back. First play from scrimmage, Charles fumbles again (turnover #3). Luckily, Chiefs get the ball back on a Phyllis Rivers' terrible throw towards Flowers. Charles then scores on a busted play. Fans go ape shit. Chiefs respond by blowing the extra point on a bad snap. Now it's 20-6 SD with five minutes left in the half. KC holds, gets ball back with about three minutes left in the half on their own twenty. Moeaki jumps off sides, again. Casshole misses Gray on a pass, then on 2nd and 15 throws a ball behind Moeaki, it bounces off his hands, right to Butler for SD (turnover #4), now it's 27-6 and any momentum from the Charles TD is lost. Stadium music guy plays The Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated." Chiefs get ball back, go into two minute drill, and work all the way down to the SD 22 Yard line with :46 left. Casshole fires a pass at an injured McCluster, ball goes right through his hands to SD defensive back (turnover #5). SD takes a knee. At least we get the ball to start the second half.

7. Third Quarter: Chiefs do what they needed to do to have any conceivable chance at all: they get the opening kickoff and have a scoring drive. Charles gets his second TD on a swing pass, Chiefs hold SD scoreless for awhile. In a big series they sack Phyllis Rivers on his own one yard line and force a punt. Arenas gets a nice return to midfield. But Hartman is holding on the play, moves KC back to the 37. Field position lost. On third and three, Casshole overthrows Bowe on a fly pattern by ten yards. Three and out, KC punts, never gets a sniff the rest of the day.

6. Fourth Quarter: Draughn is now in, as Charles has been used like a paper towel again this week (17 carries, 92 yards). Right at the start of the quarter, Casshole calls a draw play on 3rd and 14. Draughn gets whacked, fumbles at mid field (turnover #6.) SD gets the ball and runs clock down to 7:54, Battle catches a pass in the end zone uncovered, easy TD, SD now up 34-14. Now it's classic Casshole garbage time. He under throws a TD to a wide open Bowe (Bowe has to wait for the football to come down), KC draws to 34-20, but is still two TDs behind. There's now about five and a half minutes left. Romeo does NOT onside kick. He kicks off. SD runs the ball up our ass. Runs the clock down to two minutes, kicks another FG, goes up 37-20, a three possession lead with two minutes left. Stadium is totally vacant: http://i49.tinypic.com/mk9ky.jpg
Casshole goes into warp garbage time mode. Actually gets a delay of game with :11 left. His final pass? A 13-yard in bounds pitch to Baldwin on a 3rd and 15. So he throws short of a first down again. Game over, we lose.

5. OK, so what do we take from all this? General observations on defense: We've been outscored by 33 points in two home games. That's shameful defense at home. Hali today had one sack, the one on Rivers at the one yard line. Houston did nada today. You can't just disappear like that. Belcher is great on stopping the run, but he can't cover a back in the flat to save his ass. He is miserably bad on pass coverage. If you can't cover Jackie Battle, then you monumentally suck. Eric Berry may have played his worst game as a professional today. Antonio Gates owned him, simply owned him, all day long. I don't think Berry is nearly back from his knee injury, maybe 70%, but that's about it. Daniels and Routt were both missing tackles. Save for an injured Flowers the secondary pretty much stunk up the joint today. The only bright spot -if you want to call it that- was Ropati Pitoitua -lets call him Ratboy Pituitary, since nobody in this hemisphere can pronounce his name. Ratboy had two sacks, which is what one would expect to get from the first round pick Dorsey who he replaced today. Dorsey is expendable. Ratboy did more in one game to pressure a QB than Dorsey has done in his entire Chiefs career. Ratboy came to play.

4. Stupid Penalties: Nine for eighty yards. Chiefs came into this week being one of the least penalized teams in the NFL. Now with the real refs, we see what they really are. A poorly disciplined bunch who continually kill their own momentum with stupid, stupid penalties. Moeaki and Winston should be forced to kick one another in the nads for their combined penalty day. Both hurt this team over and over.

3. The Duke of Dink: I bet the guy who went to the game with me that Casshole would throw short on third down at least four times today. I counted three times. Too many other times they were too busy either fumbling or throwing picks. Casshole's accuracy, or lack of it, it appalling for a starting NFL QB. He's high, he's behind guys, he's over or under throwing. He guns it when a touch pass would suffice. He has no feel for the passing game. He is abysmal. I stayed for the whole game. I know you guys who watch on TV hear the booing, but the fans where I sit were really blasting Casshole today. They called him (among other things) a terrible leader, a choker, a quitter, a giant bag of suck, and a pussy. They also called for (in order of popularity): Quinn, Stanzi, Grbac, Bono, Thigpen and Palko. You KNOW you suck like a Hoover when your home fans are begging for Tyler Palko. The stadium CIA wanks (who were back behind the bench again today)
http://i47.tinypic.com/ejsck2.gif
really gave the fans the ole stink eye when they were yelling at Casshole. The natives are indeed restless. So if you were yelling at home, believe me, they were also yelling for you right behind the Chiefs bench.

2. There were only a couple of things I really enjoyed during the crap fest of a day. One, they put the Chiefs Hall of Honor ring back up in the stadium. Its now across the very top ring, with the player name and number. I took a picture:
http://i50.tinypic.com/dboxy.gif
And at halftime they inducted Will Shields as the latest member of the Chiefs Hall of Honor. Well deserved, he played his whole career here and should be in Canton someday. They had sixty former Chiefs players show up to honor him.
http://i49.tinypic.com/rvj4ba.jpg
Very nice day for Will, and well deserved. Here's his picture up on the stadium video board during the ceremony:
http://i48.tinypic.com/aoqge0.gif

1. I'm afraid to say, I don't think we have a very good team on our hands this year. We'll be lucky to win six or seven games at this rate. The offense is terrible save for Charles. Our gaudy offensive stats mean nothing. We've never led a game this year, even in New Orleans we only won with an OT kick. The defense is way too porous. I think we're seriously missing both Brandon Carr and Kendrick Lewis, and of those who are left in the secondary, Flowers is gimpy, and Berry is only a shadow of what he was before the injury. Routt can't tackle. Today DJ got dinged up in the fourth quarter. Hali has done very little for an All Pro. Poe, our first round draft pick, was on the bench in the fourth quarter. Why not give the kid some reps, and let him get some experience against an AFC West opponent that he's going to see over and over again in the course of his career? I just don't get a lot of the personnel moves. I believe Casshole will not make it through the year again this year, as he's bound to get destroyed, maybe even next week against Baltimore. If you think San Diego's defense was good, just think was Ray Ray and Company is going to do to this offense next week. Shudder to think, shudder to think.

Did Clark make Will pay for a ticket

prolly .... cheap undeserving piece of shit ....

Sorry for accusing you of smoking crack last week George.

But if you have any I could use some to take this edge off.

One thing that fired me up... Your 4th quarter summary sparked it for me.

What in the living **** was Jamaal Charles doing carrying the ball in garbage time?

Thanks George. Always make it a point to read these on game days. Lately (losses) I haven't been reading much else.

Apparently I was a KC area celebrity magent today. Ran into Trent Green in the parking lot and figured out the guy who has season tickets in front of me was Rocket from Mix 93.

I was wearing my Shields jersey today in hopes of conjuring up some mojo for the Offense. Not even the spirit of Will could help this piece of shit offense. I say it's on Casshole. He's just flat out terrible and I can't believe the FO can continue to ignore this.

What was the reason for wearing purple?
Posted via Mobile Device

Who was wearing purple?

and parking.

Parking has nothing to do with the Chiefs. Johnson County sets the prices and gets the $$.

Don't you feel better now?

Just kidding. You were a celebrity magent, figured you forgot to buy a letter
Posted via Mobile Device

I'm amazed you still have the motivation to do these things. Props for the dedication, though.

Those are a bunch of really horrible things, Mr. gblowfish.

And one good thing. It was nice that so many players turned out for Shields. He's a great example of a great player whose career was essentially wasted on this cat puke of a team.

Sorry you had to endure all that, but I'm very proud of you for screaming obscenities at Cassel. Good job, there.

Also, have we yet determined the purpose and meaning of the CIA operatives? Anybody leaked anything on them ... other than used beer?

FAX

I'm guessing Pioli has a mole here that reads how we all post about how we want Cassel to break his neck or fall out of a plane. Hell I think I even joked once how if Cassel got sniped, I'd immediately think it was Clay. So then in fear for his nancy boy Cassel, Pioli hired a security team behind the bench.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Now we gotta figure out who the mole is. LAChiefsFan?

Great write up, as usual. May I point out, however, that Twisted Sister and not Quiet Riot, play that song "We're Not Gonna Take It." I wonder if the selection was meant more for the fans than the players? LMAO

At what point does the "loudest stadium in the NFL" thing become false advertising? That probably hadn't been true in the 21st century.

The CIA operatives tell you all you need to know about how ****ing clueless this organization is.

It was still loud at points during the Vermeil era. Once the Herm era started...

I was at a couple of games where the "Fire Carl and Herm" yelling was really, really loud. I think we can hit that volume again pretty soon.

Great post as always. Happy to hear fans in your section were giving Cassel a tongue lashing. Cassel can't hear me from my seat, and that old drunk lady wasn't there to yell at me for being mean to him, so I made a makeshift sign out of one of those roster/program thingies that said "Cassel is not very good." I held it up with an angry, determined look on my face through the 4th quarter and after the end of the game.

It wasn't much, but it made me feel better. I at least had some fun for about 20 minutes.

Sorry, had my 80's hair bands mixed up. Rep to you, sir.

2nd always a good read. :thumb:

Romeo said this after today's game:

"I don't understand what happened with the team."

LMAO

If they were CIA you would never know they were there, those are Secret Service cats.

That's what they want you to think :p

No shit. George has all-world fortitude.

Nice read, as usual.

****, Romeo's like 65 or something right?

That's too early to be senile.

My section started the "Brady" (a la Rudy) chant today. It was pretty funny.

Thanks, dude. Good report, as always.

Any reaction from Cassel as the abuse was flying his way?

Why hasn't the "Secret Agent" stuff been reported by the media?

He told them all that he had graded out perfectly.

Usually, he just comes over, puts his hat on (or tries to), then Brian Daboll sits next to him as they flip through the pre snap pictures taken up in the end zone bird's nest. In the Fourth Quarter, Quinn was standing in front of Casshole as the fans were raging at him. Casshole never turned around but Quinn gave the fans the chop under the chin sign, like cut it out. I yelled "We can cut you too, Quinn. YOU COULDN'T EVEN BEAT THIS GUY OUT!" Before Casshole got the ball back during the last two minutes, he moved over closer to the sidelines to get away from the fan abuse. The sideline is about five or ten yards in front of the bench. Most times when a player has a fumble or a bad penalty, or otherwise screws up, they won't go to the bench, they'll hug the sideline and try to blend in with their team mates. Charles did that after fumbling twice.

Because then it wouldn't be a secret?

LMAO

That's awesome that they told Quinn to STFU.

Touche.

I think they're private security wanks. The cops don't wear lanyards with Chiefs sideline passes. They're just cops, and they have their full cop regalia with sidearm, billy club, mace, handcuffs, radios, etc. The CIA wanna be guys wear lanyards with Chiefs field passes. I haven't seen a side arm, they may be conceal and carry. But they wear earpieces and march back and forth behind the bench watching the crowd during the game. They tend to hover more in the fourth quarter. I think they escort Romeo off the field after the game. They always give the fans the stink eye, like they'd like to round us up and take us to Gitmo for a little waterboarding.

looking for a trade

He also said, "If you can't play the plays that are out there, then you shouldn't be out there".

**** that mother****er.

Why the **** is Kasl out there, RAC?

I'm afraid RAC may be a diabetic Herm with early Vermeil Alzheimer's onset.

They had them on the Chargers sideline as well. I'm sure its a new NFL secruity guideline.

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

You are doing the lord's work.

Casshole must feel like a giant piece of shit after the last two weeks.

Almost cost the team a win in NO, comes home and plays arguably the worst game of his Chiefs career.

I hope he cries into his bubby tonight and develops ED FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

Yea, im pretty sure he only took the HC gig to pad his retirement account.

Thanks for the writeup George. Lets all pray Clark wises up soon.

The thing that got me was when Sandyeggo would throw in the flats & the RB would be down field & catch the ball in stride.



I think I'm becoming stupider by watching my team play. Is that really taught in the NFL? They did it more than once.

Meanwhile Cassell about got another RB of ours killzzd I think it was Gray, the ball was high of course could not come down with it then he got whacked. That throw was a typical sideways throw to the sideline.

Our team is like watching Wylie Coyte chase the Road Runner using ACME products. Cassell is the ACME product.

Cassel seems like a really genuine, nice person. I couldn't bash a guy like that if I knew he could hear me. I get that you guys feel like you are stuck with a bad QB, but it's not Cassel's fault he hasn't been replaced. I don't see what being a dick to him accomplishes.

You know, I can't remember the last time a QB of ours that threw so many check downs.

Cassel makes $60 million and has performed his job in a subpar manner... to say the least.

Why do you feel sorry for him?

JFC

Go change your tampon.

Well, we are just one step closer to drafting our QBOTF.

Seriously, would be the bets thing for this team.

Steve Bono comes to mind.

Well it might accomplish him killing himself .

We can only hope.

thanks for the recap. i'd been looking forward to the game all week but someone invited me on a fishing trip and i spaced out, totally forgot about it. looks like i lucked out by not having to watch it.

Might wanna go on another fishing trip next Sunday. That game is going to be even uglier, if it was possible. With the way the Ravens hit, we'll be lucky if Cassel only got one of our receivers murdered.

And yet for some reason, I'll still be watching it on TV.

NFL worst 7 INTs

I was in Section 101 and tried starting a "We want Brady" chant after Casshole's first pick. I didn't get much support. The guy next to me joined in during the 3rd quarter. I'm from Indiana so this was only my 2nd home game in as many years. I'm astonished by the number of people that have the balls to wear a Casshole jersey to the game. I just want to smack them in the back of the head and say WTF? I even seen a dad carrying his 3yr old son out of the game on his shoulders and the little boy had a Casshole jersey on. I wanted to tell the dad that he was a terrible parent...

George, you should have just mailed it in like the Chiefs and only done 5.

Fans need to start sending texts to that Customer Relations number.

Location: Field
Problem: The Quarterback ****ing sucks.

Haha. I forgot about this.

Even Herm would have onside kicked.

One thing, yes only One thing about todays game and the rest of Pioli's tenure here... SUCK!

Where I was sitting casshole was getting blasted also , my first game at Arrowhead was

great minus the loss, I left at the start of the 4th could not stand it anymore, the best part

I got Marty Shottenhimer to sign his book I bought , told him we will be looking for a new

GM , he just laughed , seemed like a nice guy . Will most certainly not go back till casshole

is gone.

Very cool that they put the ring of honor back up

So how many more names will they be able to fit on the ROH? If they start running out of room do they take everyone's name down and make the names smaller in size?

I mean there will be at least 4 more that I can think of, possibly 5 or 6

Priest Holmes
Tony Gonzalez
Brian Waters
Dante Hall
Willie Roaf (maybe)
Trent Green

It genuinely warms my heart to know that this ****in guy is hearing the nickname I gave him almost 4 years ago when he got into town. He hears it. He knows it. And **** you, Matt. It came from me.

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEE !!!

Dante ****ing Hall???? You hittin' the crack pipe again?

my take

http://imageshack.us/a/img100/1632/antinight.jpg

we need to invest in one of these. it wont have any effect right away but maybe it will help with the draft. i dunno, just riffin

This is also my take.

I normally comment on each of your points but yesterday's game was so horrible on so many levels it zapped all the energy out of me.

It really is a shame that the ONLY highlight of the day aside from Jamaal Charles was the half time tribute to Will Shields. How fucking sad and embarrassing is that?

The Cassel dead duck TD he threw to Bowe really summed up how bad he really is. Bowe waited a half hour for it to come down and needed to come back for it on a lousy 35 yard pass. I KNOW for a fact my arm strength throwing a football is better than Casshole

So this got me thinking. Maybe Cassel is dyslexic. Maybe he thought it was actually 10th and 3. Some tutoring can fix things like that. They should contact Sylvan Learning.

Indeed. And then he overthrows Bowe who was WIDE OPEN for a TD. I think he just cannot throw an accurate ball, and can't judge distance. Arm strength don't mean shit if you can't throw it accurately.

I left third quarter. couldn't stomach the suckage any longer. Wanted to go see that Ryder cup and ended up finsihing with more suckage there.

Who told Arrowhead to shut the **** up?

I think I met Cassel>Manning at the game. In the fourth quarter, one guy had been yelling at Casshole repeatedly. Another guy stood up and told the first guy to STFD and STFU. They then started yelling at one another. The green vested security wankers showed up, I don't think either guy got kicked out.

Arrowhead has this 'Just Say Rah" code of conduct policy. You can see the whole thing here:

http://www.kcchiefs.com/arrowhead/stadium-policies.html

This is what it says (basically) about fan behavior:

"Stadium and parking lot staff will promptly intervene to support an environment where all event patrons can enjoy the game. Fans attending games are required to refrain from the following behaviors:

* Behavior that is unruly, disruptive or illegal in nature
* Intoxication or other signs of alcohol or substance impairment that results in irresponsible behavior
* Foul or abusive language or obscene gestures
* Interference with the progress of the game, going onto the field or throwing objects onto the field
* Failing to follow instructions of stadium personnel
* Verbal or physical harassment of opposing team fans
* Smoking except in designated areas
* Obscene or indecent clothing or signs
* Behavior that detracts from the day of game enjoyment of fellow fans; i.e. blocking views
* Attempting to sit in a location other than the guest's ticketed seat
* Conduct that endangers spectators or participants
* Selling items or tickets in stadium or within the sports complex

How do scalpers in the parking lot get away with it?

The cops can't be everywhere. There's also been stuff like high school kids wandering around at the tailgate, selling mardi gras beads and other stuff to raise money for their cheerleading squad, or volleyball team, or whatever. That doesn't bother me, although if I had a teenage daughter I don't think I'd want her wandering the lot at Arrowhead with all those drunken maniacs getting lubed up for the game.

Another thing I was thinking about today is, why do players who leave us always seem to thrive elsewhere? Look at yesterday: Chargers had Gaither starting at tackle, Battle and McClain in the backfield, Williams at linebacker, all former Chiefs who were let go. Last night I see Babin playing for Philly. Waters starting for New England and played in the Super Bowl last year. Pollard starts for Baltimore now. Carr went to Dallas. We've got guys who were "not right 53" material all over the league on other teams. So why are they not good enough here, but starting for teams better than us now?

I can't answer any questions but this year will be the first in ages I won't go to 5 or 6 games. I don't currently have plans to attend a single game. I've never cared less about this team.

I've never cared more.

One and Fifteeno for Geno!

http://carfail.com/wp-content/upload...n-moscow-1.jpg

those security guys are hilarious...remember when they brought us onto the field a couple years ago?? he was giving me the evil eye also and I laughed at him...it's a shame because their boss is the guy in the foreground of that pic, and he's really cool...
