Kansas City Chiefs At Chicago Bears - Gameday Thread
Kansas City Chiefs @ Chicago Bears
You know the drill. Check out all the great FanPosts recently and it's all been culminating in actually seeing some football.
Croyle and a few other starters are expected to see "extended" time.
I would imagine the tailgating scene at Soldier Field is pretty bare right now considering the recent ban on in-game tailgating.
It's finally here....GO Chiefs!

If Pennington were going anywhere
Wouldn’t he want to get a deal done quickly? He’s gotta get into a camp someplace.

Woot!
I heard a few plaintive ”..home of the Chiefs” there at the end of the anthem.
btw – in the other thread I mentioned it might be an Adblock issue with the 101thefox media player link as it has the letters a-d-s in the link, try whitelisting it.
Blame my wife!

Offense doesn't look smooth
First, it looked like Croyle through it in went Bowe went out, and then LJ and Croyle weren’t sure about a handoff.

But if the ball hits the ground like that
It won’t be ruled a catch. He came up with it and even fumbled it a bit.

That KC loves white athletes?
The fact that LJ was expendable but lossing Allen was the end of the world. The fact that no one in this town will question Sweeney’s steroid use. That Boerigter got the play he did. The love affair with Boomer Grigsby, and how Casey Printers didn’t get a shake. I love the scrapy white guy as much as the next but I think, in this town, the above average white athlete gets a free pass too often.
I blame Roy Williams.

I f Casey Printers could hold onto a snap
Maybe he would still be here. A runningback is a product of a good o-line and blocking scheme, the Donkeys have proved this for years. Look at Derrick Blaylock, ran well behind a hall of fame line falls off the face of the earth after. What makes LJ expendable? How many sacks could he alone have stopped if he would have made 1 key block? Jared Allen WAS our D-fense for a couple of years.

Haven’t seen game yet. Listened to it on fox. Sounded like pretty typical first preseason game. Thigpen sounded a little shakey at first. But it sounded like he recovered nicely. Defense got gashed a few times. From hearing it didn’t notice too many penalties which seems impressive for the first preseason game. Can’t wait to catch it on NFL network! Overall pretty pleased with it. GO CHIEFS!
