Ten Things About Tonight’s Game Week 6: NE 43 KC 40

10. Looks like the 1972 Dolphins can concentrate on putting the voodoo hex on the Rams now. All of us agree that 5-1 is a great start. I’m very happy about many things and hopping mad about other things.

So let’s talk about good, bad and ugly:

9. The Good: After being down 24-9 at halftime, the team could have mailed it in. KC scores 31 points in the second half and loses. Where last week’s win over the Jags was credited to the defense for forcing four Bortles picks and a fumble, this week the defense was the goat. Offense and Special Teams showed tremendous heart to claw back into the lead in the fourth quarter. Hunt had 185 all purpose yards and a TD. Hill had 142 yards and three TDs…and could have had four if Mahomes would have hit him on our second drive. Kelce and Watkins were somewhat quiet, but did have catches. Mahomes set a Chiefs record for throwing for 300 yards in his last five games. Last person to do that in the NFL was Aaron Rodgers.

8. Special Teams were all good. Toub gets a 96 yard kickoff return. Buttkicker is perfect on all field goal and PAT attempts. On defense, Lucas played best of all the D-Backs. He had four tackles and six assists. Zombo played OK filling in for Houston. He didn’t embarrass himself. Devey did an OK job filling in for Morse who was concussed on a borderline dirty hit by Hightower. KC had 446 yards of total offense, which will win a game for you 9 out of 10 times.

7. The Bad: Jesus, where to I begin with this defense? Sorry, but I despise Grandpa Bob Sutton. Defense gives up 43 points. That’s gutter awful. Defense gives up an even 500 yards of offense to New England. They gave up a 100 yard rusher - They made Michel look like the second coming of Curtis Martin. Brady only had one TD pass, but he’s the one who ran for a TD this week, not Mahomes. And on his TD, Speaks had a major fail not to pull his ass down. That pretty much negated the one good play he had earlier to force a Brady fumble. Speaks looks doughey and slow. He either needs to bulk up and become a DT, or get his ass in better condition like Dee Ford did, and get better core strength. Dee Ford did absolutely NOTHING tonight against New England’s second string tackle. Chris Jones disappeared in the second half. For the most part, the inside pass rush was pathetic. On the fumble they forced on Brady he had over five seconds to throw the ball. You simply can’t give him that much time. He will beat you, yes he will beat you. Hey Bob, he beat you.

6. Somebody asked me yesterday what I thought would happen in tonight's game. I said “Pats will run for five or six yards on first down. Our linebackers will look terrible in pass coverage on backs out of the backfield, and if things get tight for Tommy, the refs will bail him out with DPI calls." All three of those things happened to make me look like frickin’ Nostradamus. Hey Veach, WTF??? I though our draft and free agency was all about STOPPING THE RUN? Pats had 173 yards rushing. That’s flatly pathetic. Hitchens and Ragland are both awful in pass coverage on backs. They’re always getting beat on little swing passes. Fuller is showing he’s not a true starting corner. He’s average to less than average at corner. Nelson and Scandrick were both terrible. Both had DPIs. Pats were 7 for 13 on third down. That’s on Grandpa Bob. And the final kill shot to Gronk, Gramps rushes three guys and puts a guy they brought in off the street a couple days ago (Shaw) to cover Gronk one on one, when everybody in the damn stadium knew Gronk was the main target. How can you allow that kind of a coverage scheme at a critical point in the game like that? Should be grounds for dismissal on that play alone.

5. The Ugly: I can see why Ron Parker was available after Atlanta cut him. Gronk trucked him. You can’t tackle a guy like that high. You have to cut his knees out from under him. Kelce lept a guy. Gronk stiff armed Parker and ran for another 10 yards. Gronk was by far the better of the two TE’s in this game.

4. Pats were penalized for zero yards. Let me say that again. Pats…no DPI, no holding. Only thing they got called for was an illegal shift, and it was declined by KC. They had one OPI called, but it was offset by a Bullshit penalty on Fuller for defensive holding. There was one punt in the game. So this was not as ugly as the “No Punt Game” in the playoffs back in the day against the Colts and Five Head, but I kept thinking in the fourth quarter the last team with the ball would win. Yep. That's exactly what happened. I could smell it coming.

3. Hightower is a dirty player. His hit on Morse was unnecessary and away from the play. I hope the O-Line remembers that hit and can pay his ass back if we meet these guys in the playoffs down the road. He should be on the bounty list. I guess the last part of the "ugly" was we had to play this game without our two highest paid defensive players, Houston and Berry. They both played in the New England game last year that we won. This year, we get nothing from either of them. Enjoy cashing those game checks this week fellas.

2. Ultimately the difference in the game was Mahomes slow start. He missed two guys for TDs early -Hunt and Hill-, and his second pick right before the half was really the game difference. If we get seven or three on that possession, we may have won this game. Not blaming this loss on Mahomes, he got the team the lead back in the fourth quarter. But if he comes out a little sharper, we may have won this game by 14 points.

1. So, live and learn. I think Mahomes and Hill both shined in front of a National TV audience, and losing to the Pats -when you have to beat Brady and the Zebras- is a tall order. He put the fear of Jesus in them, and it’ll make it so much sweeter when we beat them in a game that counts -the AFC Playoffs. But please God, can we put Sutton into John Knox Village where he belongs? Just give him a gold watch and a big case of pudding and get him the HELL out of Arrowhead? I won’t be able to handle another 20 point playoff collapse this year. We must, MUST draft or find actual defensive help next year. A couple linebackers who can cover backs and slants would be a start; a safety that can cover and come up in run support would be like, oh, having Eric Berry, and get a corner who can figure out how to turn his head in pass coverage. At least the Bengals got demoralized by AB and Rapistburger, and our guys will be pissed off now that they lost a game. I expect they may have more urgency and fire this week in taking it out on the Bengals. Like Lou Brown said in Major League when Wild Thing gave up the Grand Salami, “Let’s see how the kid reacts.”

On that one TD pass to Hill, NE tackled Hunt as he was going for the ball. Official was staring right at the players...no call.

Great write up as always, GB.

Actually, they don't care. Bad calls that favor the same teams have happened every week for years. People still come back lapping it up with a smile, also the league is full of front runner fans so they help their big market teams that always win and everyone comes back..the people that hate those teams still come back.

The 0 penalties thing is a joke in this day and age, there are so many subjective penalties now that it is literally a crew just deciding to not flag a team. Also if you are going to let Gordon and Hogan basically bust out the stiff arm with the ball in the air and then call fouls on the defenders, there's nothing you can do as a player to stop that unless you are uber talented which these guys aren't.

Damn dude we didnt lose this game because we didnt keep Wilson.

The Lucas LT thing is a joke also....the whole nature of the holding penalty is you can't impede a guy from turning or it becomes a hold.

Lucas did all he could to try to turn and run with Gronk and the fat ****er just wouldn't let go of him, isn't that the entire nature of that rule?

displacedinMN · 10-15-2018, 06:29 AM

Did not hear fords name until the 4th quarter.
Hightower should die.

Not mad. Just disappointed. We win that game at Arrowhead.
We are still leading the AFC. Win this thing!

Nobody hated Wilson! I never read anything but positive about him.

Every QB will throw picks now and then, even Brady. Pat's first two drives were not perfect, but hardly terrible. We have just come to expect he hits EVERY pass...….and that doesn't happen to every QB either.

Mahomes still played with poise and led the team in the 2nd half. And remember, this is only his 2nd year in the league and 1st with any playing time. I think we all have great expectations every play with him at QB. How many QB's can you say that about?

How come nobody is saying the Pat's defense sucks......hell they gave up 40 points! I know our D sucks but they can only get better.....I hope!!!!

Marcellus · 10-15-2018, 06:42 AM

Right on George, the future is bright.

Missed Houston out there

They did sack Brady. Twice I believe.

Get a better D coordinator and an entirely new staff. The defense is a dumpster fire.

scho63 · 10-15-2018, 07:10 AM

GB, you were too kind describing our defense. It is HISTORICALLY bad and working it's way into record territory.

Just horrific to think you have an offense no one can stop and a defense that can stop no one.........

I was shocked that my anger at the loss was not so much at the Patriots and their slimy team but their scumbag fans, including the 20 or so I had to sit with at the bar last night here in Scottsdale. They make the loss like pouring gas on a small fire, they are the WORST right after the Faiders douchebag felons and gangbangers.

Bob Sutton thinks rushing 3 guys and giving HOF QB Tom Brady 6-10 seconds to throw on every down will have positive results-the guy is delusional and really sucks. Not to have a double team all over Gronk at the end was super stupid.

What the hell is with our guys not knowing how to tackle?

In Mahomes, I finally feel that being down 21 points is just a small obstacle to overcome, not a climb over Mt Everest.

Thanks as always!
