Ten Things about Last Night’s Game Week 8: KC 29 Donks 19

10. Yesterday afternoon I left the Round Shiny Object Factory where I work in Overland Park around 2:30, stuck my nose in the house back in glorious Independence to get my tickets and tailgate stuff; then met up over on 40 Highway with my pal Gary to head into Arrowhead. Mrs. Blowfish couldn’t go this week, so Gary was my wing man. Got a text message from Stevie Ray (First Down Elvis) that the wind was stiff and brutal in the parking lot, and he was right. Way too cold to enjoy an outdoor tailgate. So it was bourbon and heated car seats in my Blowfish Lesbo-Mobile, and listened to Keitzman interview Gunther Cunningham. Did you know Gunther never lost to Denver as our head coach? After drinking bourbon for the better part of three hours, I was ready to get my parka on and kick some Orange Denver Ass. One thing I’ll say for the Arrowhead security people: They’re doing a much better job getting people into the stadium quickly. They seem to be better equipped, and the security checkpoint is much more efficient than years past.

9. This game came down to the law firm of Kelce, Peters and Buttkicker. They were the three guys who made the difference. We’ll get into them individually, but these three players, plus Donk Turnovers, was the difference in the game. Everything else was dead even or close to it on the stat sheet. Both teams had 14 offensive drives. Denver won first downs 23 to 16. Chiefs won passing yards 202 to 198. Denver had more total yards from scrimmage 364 to 276. TOP was almost even, Donks 31 minutes to Chiefs 29 minutes. Both teams had seven penalties. The game may have appeared close, but KC’s fast start in the first quarter forced the Donks to play catch up all night. If Denver was smart, they would have just run Anderson on first down, Anderson on second down, slant to Thomas on third down, repeat-repeat-repeat; and they would have scored four or five TDs. I also thought the Chiefs should have gone all Derek Carr on the Donks and thrown the ball to Kelce 20 times. They had no way to stop him like the Chiefs couldn’t stop Cooper last week.

8. Andy’s offensive play calling was frustrating in the second half as they seemed to run the same series over and over. I think the offense went three and out their first three or four series after halftime. It took going back to Kelce to break the offensive funk. Buttkicker was five for five, including hitting a 51 yarder in a swirling wind. He was good for 17 of the points by his lonesome. His kickoffs were very good on a cold night. Just a fabulous job.

7. Kelce has a great night, 7 catches for 133 and a TD. He seems to get extra motivated against Denver. His first catch over the middle looked like vintage Tony Gonzalez. He was as open as a guy can get for his TD pass, and he didn’t get into any extra-curricular BS. Kelce is also an excellent downfield blocker. He was getting after guys downfield. And he’s shown the ability to play when dinged up. Right before the two minute warning before halftime, he rolled an ankle. Basically walked it off and came back and played an effective second half. He was the crux of the offense all night, so having him back to finish the game was big. Kudos to Kelce for an all-pro performance in an important game.

6. The Peters Givith, and the Peters Taketh Away…twice. Peters game showed why it's worth putting up with his baggage. His fumble strip on Charles for a TD was the ultimate in Karma Is A Bitch payback for the last time we lost to the Donks in Arrowhead. Getting flagged for dunking the ball over the goalpost seems petty and over officious -especially since Tony G did it for years here- but rules are rules. Peters pick helped the Chiefs put the pressure on the Donks to play catch up. After that Peters side of the field was shut down to traffic for most of the night. Kudos to Peters for an all-pro performance in an important game.

5. For the Alexsexuals: Alex did not have his best of nights, but he did have some terrific key plays. The pass to Kelce for the TD was on the money. So was a pass to Tyreek Hill with Talib draped all over him. Harris of the Stone Hands People should have had a TD that hit him literally right in the mitts. Which reminds me: Should all our receivers wear yellow mitts like Kelce? Would that help Alex see their hands when he throws? Alex had a gutsy 14-yard scramble to pick up a first down and was only sacked once. When sacked, he did fumble. That was the first Chiefs lost fumble since Kareem Hunt’s first NFL carry vs. New England. Tyreek’s crazy option pass is the first pick the Chiefs have thrown this season. So Hill has more picks than Alex. The troubling stat is Alex was zip for three in the red zone. That has to improve, especially come playoff time. Except for the offensive malaise starting the second half, Alex and the offense did a decent job and burned enough time in the fourth quarter stretch to seal the deal this time. I’m not concerned about K-Hunt’s yardage. He only averaged a little over two yards per carry, but Denver came in as the number two NFL defense against the run. Plus, K-Hunt is a rookie, so he may be hitting the rookie wall eight games into the season. He’ll get his second wind and be fine. Nice to have West back for pass protection as well.

4. Speaking of returning players, it was great to have Mitch Morse back at Center. When the Canadian Doc gets back from his knee injury next week, we should have our basic line back intact for Dallas. Von Miller had three tackles and no sacks, so the Schwartz was with us. Mitchell Schwartz has been an unsung hero on the line. He’s got the longest start streak in the NFL without injury, and he’s a reliable guy. Fisher has more penalties and gets beat more often. Kudos to the Schwartz. Kansas City Star game pictures are here: http://www.kansascity.com/latest-new...181821861.html

3. Semen is freaking awful. It’s such a great thing that the Donks don’t have a Horse Face or Five Head at QB, which makes them mortal. All three of his picks -especially the last one to Acker- were God Awful choices. I’ll bet Denver goes after Cousins next year. They can’t continue with this guy as their QB. If you look at the Denver Post sports page this AM, they’re blaming everybody for the losing, including Horse Face himself. That makes me all warm and gooey inside.

2. Andy has some Wile E. Coyote in him. That option pass from Hill I’m sure has been talked to death here on the CP. But the truth is, Hill should have either tucked it and ran it, or threw it high and deep where our guy catches it or nobody catches it. If we get a field goal that’s more pressure on Denver to play catch up. Instead, it swung the momentum for a good part of the first half back to Denver and kept them in the game. Murray had another rough night. Right out of the gate he has a block in the back penalty to call back a monster punt return by Hill. Then he gets beat for Denver’s last TD by Darby; although in fairness, why Sutton has Murray covering a tight end who’s five inches taller and 40 pounds heavier is hard to figure. Ron Parker had the most tackles and one pick. It’s never good when your safety has the most tackles. Sorensen leads the whole team in tackles for the season thus far. That means we’re tackling guys downfield after giving up a lot of yards. There’s always reasons to worry, but anytime we beat the Donks, it’s a very good day.

1. So the Chiefs have a three game lead in the division, and the only winning record in the entire AFC West. Zeke looks like he'll be under suspension, so that means we have to stop Dak, Dez and Witten. Kansas City is 1-4 playing the Cowboys in Dallas. The last time we won there was 40 years ago. So we’re due. I think it might be a lot like the Houston Texan game, except Dallas’ offensive line is better, and their defense is worse. Can’t wait for Sunday, we're rollin' baby!

Bonus Thing: I caught a glove from Derrick Johnson after the game. It was sweaty, but it smelled like……victory!

Great read George. Also Dilly Dilly!

Great write up, and man you ain't shitting, that wind in the parking lot was just brutal.

Smith didn't have his best day but that was a good defense. He needs to play better against better defenses though. Andy's play calling was garbage after that first drive.

Harris needs to be off this team next season.

Totally agree about the receivers wearing the bright yellow gloves, it almost seems like a bit of a cheat code... wouldn't be at all surprised if we started seeing other teams use them

**Trivers** · 10-31-2017, 12:17 PM

Your best one of the year!

My god. I didn’t realize we hadn’t beaten them on MNF since then. Shades of Bubby Brister rushing for 30yds on a bootleg and Derrick Thomas’s infamous face mask meltdown flashing before my eyes...

I have the right hand glove. You can see it in this pic from the Star's website, DJ's right hand:
