Who are these guys on offense? See what a little creativity can do. We are on our way to having season highs in all offensive statistics. Let's see if the second half is as good to us as the first half was.

Those penalties are killing us
Holding in the red zone and roughing the passer on third and long

Anyone know if we can watch this game online?
Iowa seems to think the vikings texans game is a better choice.
by RoyalFlush on Nov 2, 2008 1:42 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I'm just watching the gamecenter on nfl.com
was the roughing penalty a good call?
by RoyalFlush on Nov 2, 2008 1:45 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
anybody got a link to watch it online that they would be willing to share?

lets recap
Roughing the passer on 3rd and long, holding in the red zone, offensive pass interference on a catch that would end the game, and there was one other i think that gave the a first down on third down?

by sm7600 on Nov 2, 2008 3:40 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
technically
our QB had the game wrapped up in the first half.
Where was the defense cuz it looked like the cheerleaders took the filed when the offense left the filed.
and, pardon my failing memory, isn’t defense Herm’s specialty?

He looked pretty good to me.
No INTs, made some good decisions, threw some accurate passes, scored a couple TDs, made the O-line look better, saw a few blitzes & got rid of it, ran for some positive yards, all on his 3rd start…
Not good enough for you? You want Croyle back, or Huard?

He won't ever take the blame.
Even though it should always rest on the coach. The players do what they’re told (mostly). He definitely wasn’t trying to “win” in the 2nd half.

Thanks for the live game feed! No comment on the game, we all have heard it before and will hear again after the next loss.
by TouchdownKansasCity on Nov 2, 2008 3:53 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I still see positives out of this one...
The return game is good enough that no one’s bitching. Coverage needs work, though.
O-line did better – good running game, against a legit run D. Pass blocking was a little better, but needs work. Herm needs to learn to trust the passing game more, to keep the run game gong. IMO, that’s what killed them in the second half. WRs need work, hopefully, more practice time with Thiggy will help get them in synch.
TT just put together back-to-back good games. Give him the next start, keep working with him. He’s done better that Croyle has, on that count, even if they lost both of them.
Even with LJ gone, we had a running game.
Coaching needs to learn from this one, but they were more aggressive than usual for a while. TT got a couple shots down the field.
D-line was better, got more of a push against the pass. Ain’t there yet, but better. Pass coverage didn’t really suck, until Flowers went out. Hope he’s OK. Boy, we need help at linebacker.
Downside: stupid penalties. Young players need to learn some poise. Take away that roughing call, and they win it, and maybe one or two other penalties.
My take: I could see the pieces on the field, they just need to put together a coherent game, and play all 60 minutes. Do that, and they can compete.
Chin up, fellow Chiefs fans. Things are looking up! What was the spread on this one, anyway?

+1
You’re dead on. We all knew we were gonna suck, so don’t get pissed if we narrowly lose—remember Atlanta?
They’re getting a hell of a lot better, and whether or not we’ve got a QBOTF in Thugpen (trying it out), we know we got an athlete that will do whatever the hell he has to to win.
Offensive playcalling was solid at first but got very… flaccid. That’s right. I used that word.
Defensively… I feel like we played the “give ’em five to keep them from getting 60” technique well, except TB used it 12 times. MATH JOKE.
I’m proud of ‘em, fellas. I took the dog to the park and didn’t threaten to kick her like every other week.
