Predictions?

27-20 Chargers. I hate picking against the Chiefs but I don’t see any reason why LT won’t light us up today.

by primetime 07 on Nov 9, 2008 2:04 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

24-18 Chiefs

Why? Cause WE say so.

OR, alternatively, 34-27 Chiefs, LT goes down in the 3rd.

I’m projecting Sprolles to burn us a new one

That should be a good game as well

Chiefs/Chargers isn’t exactly a big TV draw.

There’s that Chiefs podcast on iTunes, can’t remember who does it or its name or whatever, but it’s the #1 subscribed to Chiefs podcast. Anyways, this summer, the dude repeatedly referred to the kicker, #5, as “Barth Connor”.

/Sounds like “Darth.”

man, he certainly earned that catch,

he got pounded a couple times. gotta love seeing the D hitting some people.
and gotta love the decent run-D so far.

i hope that doesn’t make us gun-shy for the rest of the game. we have GOT to try and get in and rattle rivers, make him throw a tantrum or two.

nice tackle, carr

any time there’s a pitch play it always makes me nervous. we seem to get burned on those plays.

by thehulk on Nov 9, 2008 3:48 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yep, a lot of luck on D

comes from pressure, and playing heads up. this one was just a flat-out over-throw, but we’ve created some turnovers on hustle and hard hitting the last couple weeks.

lets get another drive going and get another TD on the board.

One thing we'll take from this season

They are hitting. And a lot of times, the tackling will be sloppy because they are trying to rip the ball EVERY TIME. This team is getting better.

but if we’re not going to stop a play, at least we make whoever’s carrying the ball pay for it.
