well, everything. Particularly our playcalling and execution in the fourth quarter was shoddy. Bad clock management (surprise), not letting the one good part of our game win the game for us when it had a better chance, and overall defensive letdowns late in the game.

Tyler played one good game. That’s it. But damn it, he played a better game than any Chiefs quarterback has played against a better team than Huard had his “dream game” and played with moxie and leadership. The kid deserves a chance.

I heard on the radio we’re bringing Culpepper. Our offensive line is not a good match for him. Let’s see if Tyler can play well in back to back weeks.

Charles needs more work.

I got a nickname for #24. BRANDON “PICKING” FLOWERS

i like that lol clever i gotta get his jersey now!

to Bones. And everyone that said he was NOT an NFL quarterback can come and feast on crow at it.

haha hes a pussy who will never get pussy!!

Hey, hey hey, why did herm run on those 3 plays

what the issue is with our run defense. Giving up these huge runs is killing us. We aren’t going to be able to make any progress in the wins department if we don’t get some linebackers that can make the important tackle. Seeing those guys break through untouched just infuriates me.

1. We found new receivers. Cottam caught a few balls as well as Bradley. Apparently we have a few more passing options besides Bowe and Gonzalez.

2. Some of the young players suddenly started to grow up. Long runs will happen. We are young team and are occasionally out of position. But I thought I saw some progress on the D-Line. We still can’t ANY pressure though.

3. Charles showed that he can run hard and hit the hole. In the same vein, Kolby Smith didn’t show much at all. I would have liked to see Savage get a few handoffs just to see what happens.

4. Our O-Line looked a little bit better—as much as better as you can look while giving up four sacks. However, some of those came on blitzs that our young QB didn’t recognize (the corner blitz is the one I remember).

5. The Secondary played smart. They were in position for nearly every trick play and many of the deep play action passes. The third and one fake hand off, the reverses, the Brad Smith throw. They were in position and the coverage was generally good. Not great tackling through. They did make Leon Washington look like Barry Sanders.

This team still has a long way to go. And I’m still not sold on Thigpen. But he threw the ball strong, looked confident, and made plays. His performance today is strong enough for me to say that it should be his job to lose now. I’m disappointed in the coaching staff for calling a run in the Fourth Quarter with 4 minutes to go when it was 3rd and 3. Thigpen had completed roughly 70% of his passes and he deserved an opportunity to make a play. I didn’t agree with the conservative Kolby Smith run. I could of gone for a bootleg.

People really sipped on his Kool-Aid last year. He’s aiight, but not a replacement for Wife-Beater McGee LJ. Or, as Dwight once referred to Michael’s breath, good not great.

I am a firm believer that each NFL team is pretty equal talent wise, we all get players from the same place. Now, today wad a GOOD game. The effort was there for the most part , no doubt. However, last week and up until today everyone was on the fire this guy or that guy bandwagon!!?? My point is this…I thiught today was a great game that DID show promise from our young team, however, the coaching staff decided to take their collective feet off the gas pedal and play HERMBALL and get conservative. The D went to a prevent zone w/ 8-10 yard cushions and we tried to run between tackle and not throw with a guy who showed you he could. Final though…….these players can win and want to……their coaches just won’t let them. Don’t care what anyoine says…these players have zero faith in their coaches

Too soon to say, on both counts.

Hali is probably more comfortable on the left, but also, the Jets may not have game-planned for him to be there. Anyone know how the Jets RT stacks up?

Thigpen showed /potential/. He’s not the Second coming, here. That being said, his second game was better than any game I saw Croyle play. If the Ciefs want to develop a QB, Thiggy’s looking better than Croyle.

What’s up with the “Bones” nickname, anyway?
