We start with the ball
need some Offense, now!

i agree
Proud Supporter of Tyler Thigpen.
We've been delivering though.
We may be "playing to win the game", but it seems like we're coaching to lose.

Done that in the 1st half
of the last few games.
Time to prove we can move the ball in the 2nd.
a 4 point lead ain’t enough to sit on.

Mitch just mentioned the 2nd coldest thing again.
"You play to win the game." Herm Edwards
Why is it
I never see Herm doing anything? He’s never talking to anyone, never looking at charts, he’s just staring out at the field.
Hey, look, LJ ran hard when he had no one in front of him and blockers down field. Congratulations.

LJ
nice catch and run.
Proud Supporter of Tyler Thigpen.
Nice catch LJ!
I think we may be seeing a whole new man in 27

Dunno
He’s been pass-blocking, stopped with the celebrations, now a good catch – only one of those really fluffs his numbers…

I'm kind of bummed
at how quiet Arrowhead is. Even with the weather and the fact that, you know, we suck, should be better than that.

Bowe's first step
is just ridiculous. Everyone questions him, but his explosiveness in his first step is insane.

That play was a great example
of what Tyler brings. ON the backside blitz, Brodie would have tried to run away from him to the other side and gotten nailed. Huard would have ducked down and tried not to get hurt (and gotten hurt).
Tyler immediately looked to his man and made the throw. I love Bones.

yup
we got points, even though it was 3, 3 is better then 0 or a turn over.
Proud Supporter of Tyler Thigpen.
And marched the ball
not just a quick strike. We had problems with that in the 3rd.

Who is this team dressed as the KC offense?
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.

That would be...

the culmination of a lot of work
the more Gailey gets involved and Tyler gets into the system, the better they look. Now the run and pass games are coming together. I was down on Gailey’s hire at the start of the season, but he’s done a bangup job this year with all the injuries and that terrible offensive line that’s suddenly only “not completely terrible.”

nice
shut down the wild cat
Proud Supporter of Tyler Thigpen.
Holy shit
that shutdown on second down was Dorsey. He absolutely stuffed that against two guys.
Dorsey is playing better and better, to go along with some great stats. That was a great play. If he can just get some pressure on the QB…

Better than our back four
in some sort of weird inverse manifestation of the rest of the season.

or is it the front four playing better than the back seven?

DJ and Demorrio
are actually playing really well. Doing what LBs should do. TACKLE. They’re creating space and outrunning our secondary but we’re not whiffing on tackles at least.

bradley
nice going after the ball. good job.
Proud Supporter of Tyler Thigpen.
yup
best TE ever
Proud Supporter of Tyler Thigpen.
I'd trade him in a heartbeat for a 1st rounder.
I don’t see many teams giving up a 1st rounder for him.
y
y would u say such a thing.
Proud Supporter of Tyler Thigpen.
TG has 1, maybe 2 more pro bowl seasons.
We may as well get a 1st rounder for him. This draft is going to be really deep. This way we can get another top talent and build for the future. Everyone over 28 should be traded or let go.

It such crap
Didn’t want to get a penalty so he let him go…such bullshit
Is anyone else
trying to stare Pennington into a sack? Because watching our d-line scrap at his ankles like rock groupies makes me sad.

we need a turn over or we need a stop.

Why was that not a penalty for too many men in the huddle?
A guy ran off the field right before the snap
lets go D stop em

uh oh
i wish we would have handed it off to johnson a little more in this second half. he was having a good day
I dont know what to say except
Herm Edwards simply doesn’t know how to coach 60 minutes of football. He always says that we need to play 60 full minutes, but how many games this year and last year combined did we lose in the 4th quarter? Over half of our losses. Even if we can pull this out, this is a problem we have to deal with.

Hard to cut…not the best play in the situation especially with the slipping we have seen on cutbacks.

poor play calling 2nd half is what makes us lose. said it from the 7 games ago. and i’ll still say it. coaches change the mindset 2nd half. its rediculous.

I liked it so much better
when we had an offensive line that just about guaranteed us a first down with a 4th and 1 run
Hermball
Herm has a real knack for going for it when he shouldn’t and not going for it when he should. Whichever way he chooses, it’s usually going to be wrong.
Way to burn the TO before the play, too, that wouldn’t be helpful later.

Wow Detroit Mailed it in
Rams Niners on TV now in KC

Cincy’s as bad as KC, right? So that game will only be on TV in the local markets most likely?

I don't think you can blame him that much
he shouldn’t have been put in the situation.
He threw for 320 yds and 2 TDs don’t forget

That, and give him a better line, maybe another WR, and a better scheme next season.
Me, I say the QB position is his to lose next season. If a QB falls to us early, is BPA, and we can’t get a good trade-down, then we take him. Otherwise not – stretching for a QB while we have other pressing needs will be a /bad/ idea.
