Open Gameday Thread - Kansas City Chiefs (4-8) v. Denver Broncos (5-7)

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 11:00 AM CST in Open Threads

VS.

When: 3:15 PM Central time

Where: Some corporate sponsored stadium with a soulless name

Broncos in the blogosphere: Mile High Report

Weather: High of 28. Chance of precipitation 30%. Updated game weather is here.

You know we're playing the Broncos when you're googling soulless to see if it's two words or one...

Let's jump right in. Game time is in a few hours but use this thread if you want to talk about the early games.

I am going to guarantee victory for the Chiefs today. The Chiefs win 17 to 10 in a slow, slow game.

GO CHIEFS!!!

the

titans are giving the chargers a bit of run at the moment. Also, The best rb to ever bless the field LTZZZZ LADAINZZ TOMLINZZONNN has a lovely 2 yards per carry.....i hate tomlinson.....

by Ben S on Dec 9, 2007 1:28 PM CST 0 recs

Rivers sucks ****

6/14, 47 yds , 0tds , 2 ints, 3rd qtr.

oO Buckeyes Oo

by D Thomas on Dec 9, 2007 2:04 PM CST 0 recs

oh i know

phillip is a good qaurterback as long as the o line plays perfectly, which happens quite often with san diegos o line. I actually just hate the chargers, bottom line.

by Ben S on Dec 9, 2007 2:20 PM CST 0 recs

Rivers went to the Pro Bowl

Because he had a good first half last year, basically just not making mistakes, not necessarily making plays (sound familiar fans?)

He has so many weapons, he's set up to succeed?

by primetime 07 on Dec 9, 2007 2:37 PM CST 0 recs

Wow

LT has only had four games where he rushed for over 100 yards.

Is it Sippio time???

No Samie Parker?

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 2:51 PM CST 0 recs

You might have made my day

Sippio playing would be the best thing about this game and the rest of the season. I really do think the blogosphere calling for him has an effect on decisions like this.

by primetime 07 on Dec 9, 2007 2:55 PM CST up 0 recs

Nah

I don't think its had any effect.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 2:58 PM CST up 0 recs

Watch the replay

Rivers was almost sacked and lobbed it up to LT who caught it. They ended saying he was out of bounds when he caught it.

by primetime 07 on Dec 9, 2007 2:57 PM CST 0 recs

Samie Parker

Someone answered are prayers, lets see if we got anyone else at WR.

by Zach on Dec 9, 2007 3:02 PM CST 0 recs

San Diego is down by 7

and they have the ball on the Titans 2 yard line.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:10 PM CST 0 recs

WIth 30 seconds left

Cowboys just scored a TD to go up by one on the Lions with 18 seconds left.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:11 PM CST up 0 recs

samie parker has grown on me this season...

i actually like him now...

still, i am happy sippio is (apparently) getting a chance.

i love sippio.

in all honesty, the most important part of this game is the play of the young players. specifically, brodie croyle. if we lose, but croyle and kolby and bowe and sippio and page and pollard play well, i will be happier than if they all play like crap and we win.

by rockchalk on Dec 9, 2007 3:10 PM CST 0 recs

i hate the chargers and the cowboys...

and they will both probably sneak out a W.

cowboys just did it, hopefully the titans D can stuff the chargers...

by rockchalk on Dec 9, 2007 3:11 PM CST 0 recs

Ha

The station cut away from the Charger game to the Chiefs game about a half second after Antonio Gates caught a TD to tie the game.

Perfect timing.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:14 PM CST 0 recs

the best part about this game...

is we can pretty much take out the broncos from the playoff picture.

they lose this game, and the chargers win, and they are out. at least they should be.

that would make my day.

i hate the broncos.

by rockchalk on Dec 9, 2007 3:16 PM CST 0 recs

Prediction

Chiefs deffense steps it up again, holding the Broncos to 13 points. Unfortunately, our offense continues to take a step in the wrong direction, giving up multiple drive-killing sacks, limiting our offense to only 10 points. Damn you Broncos, damn you.

by Chiefs n Chopper on Dec 9, 2007 3:17 PM CST 0 recs

Bad already

This sucks.

by primetime 07 on Dec 9, 2007 3:18 PM CST 0 recs

nice

tackle page

by The DBowe Show on Dec 9, 2007 3:18 PM CST 0 recs

yikes.

maybe our defense does need some improvement.

pollard needs to get off his block more, and jarrad page just tackled like greg wesley.

learn how to wrap up, jarrad, dont go for the big play...

by rockchalk on Dec 9, 2007 3:18 PM CST 0 recs

law

with the tight coverage

by The DBowe Show on Dec 9, 2007 3:19 PM CST 0 recs

oh, yea.

ty law still sucks.

two new corners and a new DT and we have an amazing defense. right now, we just have a good defense.

by rockchalk on Dec 9, 2007 3:20 PM CST 0 recs

Well

boys?

oO Buckeyes Oo

by D Thomas on Dec 9, 2007 3:20 PM CST 0 recs

Hey

At least we get to see Croyle sooner.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:20 PM CST 0 recs

That TD

is worse than even a return TD.

Webb fumble. Chiefs get it back.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:21 PM CST 0 recs

S.Young

28 yds/ carry

oO Buckeyes Oo

by D Thomas on Dec 9, 2007 3:22 PM CST 0 recs

wow

impressive tackle champ. nice run kolby. anyone think he'll break 100 today?

by Chiefs n Chopper on Dec 9, 2007 3:23 PM CST 0 recs

This game

has gone badly very quickly.

You Play! To Punt! The Ball!

nobody likes ohio state...

by rockchalk on Dec 9, 2007 3:25 PM CST 0 recs

surtain

with the no-call. he was practically embracing marshall

by The DBowe Show on Dec 9, 2007 3:25 PM CST 0 recs

Chris

if you're around, or anybody else, do you know what our 3rd down run success rate is? I'm betting it's somewhere between jack and shit.

You Play! To Punt! The Ball!

by Ridiculous Matt on Dec 9, 2007 3:27 PM CST 0 recs

34%

This is already hard to watch.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:29 PM CST up 0 recs

I think

our defense has been beaten into dejection.

You Play! To Punt! The Ball!

by Ridiculous Matt on Dec 9, 2007 3:28 PM CST 0 recs

we look

like a vaudevillian comedy troupe out there on defense

by The DBowe Show on Dec 9, 2007 3:28 PM CST 0 recs

Don't be so harsh

a vaudeville show actually has discipline and timing.

You Play! To Punt! The Ball!

by Ridiculous Matt on Dec 9, 2007 3:30 PM CST up 0 recs

prediction watch

Chiefs defense looking like they can't stop shit, looks like "our defense steps it up and holds them to 13" is a little off...

by Chiefs n Chopper on Dec 9, 2007 3:29 PM CST 0 recs

this

is sad!

oO Buckeyes Oo

by D Thomas on Dec 9, 2007 3:29 PM CST 0 recs

Damn

That was a quick 14 points.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:30 PM CST 0 recs

sad?

or pathetic?

by Chiefs n Chopper on Dec 9, 2007 3:30 PM CST 0 recs

our d is on pace

to give up approx. 1200 yards today

by The DBowe Show on Dec 9, 2007 3:30 PM CST 0 recs

Okay

down 14. We know what we need to do.

Get tight and conservative on offense and play for field position!

You Play! To Punt! The Ball!

by Ridiculous Matt on Dec 9, 2007 3:31 PM CST 0 recs

and

105 points

by The DBowe Show on Dec 9, 2007 3:31 PM CST 0 recs

Don't be silly, DBowe

you don't win football games by scoring points. You win games by being tough, conservative, and field position.

READY THE PUNT TEAM!

You Play! To Punt! The Ball!

by Ridiculous Matt on Dec 9, 2007 3:34 PM CST up 0 recs

BETTER DRAFT POSITION!!!

WE SUX!!!1!!111

by rockchalk on Dec 9, 2007 3:31 PM CST 0 recs

Usually

I've heard Jared Allen's name by now.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:32 PM CST 0 recs

good to see

that we're staying disciplined on offense

by The DBowe Show on Dec 9, 2007 3:35 PM CST 0 recs

C'mon guys

get it together!

You Play! To Punt! The Ball!

by Ridiculous Matt on Dec 9, 2007 3:35 PM CST 0 recs

Two penalties on this drive

Keep throwing it to Tony though.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:35 PM CST 0 recs

At this point

I can't tell who sucks more Gus Johnson or the Chiefs play as of late.

by i drink herms koolaid on Dec 9, 2007 3:36 PM CST 0 recs

San Diego

won in overtime by the way.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:38 PM CST 0 recs

Get this

I should be getting a Reebok Zero Degrees Chiefs Conflict jacket in the mail this week. A marketing guy emailed me and asked if I would check it out. He just wants feedback on it. They look pretty cool.

by Chris on Dec 9, 2007 3:40 PM CST 0 recs

So if we're at

34% this far into the season, wouldn't you think about mixing it up, or not going for it, at least not as much? If you're only getting it less than 4 per 10 tries, wouldn't you think about not relying on it?

Or is this more of my silly high expectations for Herm?
