Kansas City Chiefs At Chicago Bears - Gameday Thread
Kansas City Chiefs at Chicago Bears, Aug 7, 2008 7:00 PM CDT
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!

Yeah, I heard that too. Always a welcome sound.
I’m ready to get this started…

As the season goes on
I think the automatic new comment refresh will be pretty nice. No need to refresh the page.

Looks like
He and Bowe weren’t on the same page.

This goes beyond low def
I feel like I’m watching this played on Tecmo Super Bowl.
I’m liking the rollouts so far. Everything else, not as much.

I’m enjoying it in Full High Def…; )

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.
by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 7:09 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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.

I lvoe all these different formations
by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 7:12 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
Still waiting for that Croyle/Bowe connection to fire up.
Blame my wife!
by sir eccles on Aug 7, 2008 7:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
At least we're moving the ball
And passing it.

I liked JC's quick turnaround after his catch
Linebacker never had a chance.
by Pauli on Aug 7, 2008 7:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hard to tell on the radio
How much time is the new offensive line giving Croyle?
Blame my wife!
by sir eccles on Aug 7, 2008 7:15 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
He's looked for Bowe
What 4 times already?
by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 7:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, and now is time for him to have a seat on the bench.
by HIV 2 Elway on Aug 7, 2008 7:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess it makes me feel better
That TG and Bowe are probably two of the better players that go up and get the ball
by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 7:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Been hurried once and knocked down once
But not as bad as you’d expect.

Nice - Will Franklin
Croyle winged it!

That's the play for 3rd and 14
Great job holding onto that ball

I still think
We should have run a draw play.

Didn't it almost look like he lost it?
As he hit the ground, in his left hand.

LJ lost his focus
That endzone is awfully bright – his eyes aren’t used to it.

Would a catch and run by a FB
automatically gain him a spot on the team?

I'm confused
Did we just drive down the field eating up most of the quarter and actually score a TD?
Blame my wife!

Nice drive
They even dug themselves out of a few holes.

Orton is starting
So they can save Grossman for the season. Whew!

Scary comment from Chan Gailey
“If you do things not to lose the game then you put yourself in a position to win the game.”
The ‘play not to lose’ syndrome?

Somehow I've forgotten about Jared Allen
I guess that will change during the regular season.
by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 9:08 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Dorsey will have a much better career than Allen.
So much of the Allen hype was because this town loves white athletes.

Buyer Beware
‘Contract year’ type players.
by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 9:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe it'll work out
And he’ll be awesome. But I don’t want to spend nearly 10% of the salary cap on one player.
That should be reserved for QBs.
by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 9:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by HIV 2 Elway on Aug 7, 2008 9:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by Eric Allen on Aug 7, 2008 9:30 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I liked Allen too...
I just don’t think it was the end of the world when he left. Actually, I think with the picks we got, we’ll be better off without him.

chiefs bears
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!
