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!

It's election season

We’ve got a few more politiical ads to get through

Don't have to wait

Finally get to see the offense!

As the season goes on

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

by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 7:05 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Looks like

He and Bowe weren’t on the same page.

by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 7:07 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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

wow

a first down

Blame my wife!

by sir eccles on Aug 7, 2008 7:10 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.

by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 7:11 PM CDT up 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

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

That's the play for 3rd and 14

Great job holding onto that ball

by Pauli on Aug 7, 2008 7:19 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I still think

We should have run a draw play.

Blame my wife!

franklin

took a hit right there and still hung on. Sweet!

Didn't it almost look like he lost it?

As he hit the ground, in his left hand.

by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 7:20 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

LJ lost his focus

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

by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 7:19 PM CDT reply actions   1 recs

Would a catch and run by a FB

automatically gain him a spot on the team?

Goota represent, even in the preseason. That said...

nice drive boys. Oline looked good enough for the first series of the year.

Oh man, it's great

to hear Holthus say that again.

by Mully on Aug 7, 2008 7:22 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I'm confused

Did we just drive down the field eating up most of the quarter and actually score a TD?

Blame my wife!

by sir eccles on Aug 7, 2008 7:23 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Nice drive

They even dug themselves out of a few holes.

A friend...

said this the other day, “John Kitna is now the best QB in the NFC North.” How said is that?

Normal service resumes

Ahh, this is more like it :-(

Blame my wife!

by sir eccles on Aug 7, 2008 7:35 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

This is a little more familiar

So, this is a -13 yard drive so far?

by Pauli on Aug 7, 2008 7:35 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Go for it

Roll the dice, Herm

by Pauli on Aug 7, 2008 7:37 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Keep boing

But that’s a 45 yard net

Huard

Back to his old tricks.

Blame my wife!

Dude this looks familiar

One good drive and then, putt, putt!

huard eating it

reminds me so much of last year

couldn't hurt

Unless our o-line lets him get smacked around

by Pauli on Aug 7, 2008 8:07 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

true

reps don’t count for much if you’re the starter playing behind the 3rd string o-line

Uhoh

The radio guys are discussing Chad.

J Charles

2 runs = 1st down. Nice.

Love calling a timeout with a minute

and we’re on offense
either aggressiveness, or just more evaluation time

woo-hoo

Webb toward the goal line! Goal to go.
At least a field goal try!

someone stole Huard and replaced him with a QB

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?

by Joel Thorman on Aug 7, 2008 8:58 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

by HIV 2 Elway on Aug 7, 2008 9:10 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by HIV 2 Elway on Aug 7, 2008 9:31 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

We added some some

good players off of home grown talent.

Depth

Current issue is depth and lack of it.

I didnt see where he made any catches in the stats.

We need a run stopper in a bad kind of way.

There’s still a minute on the clock!

We need to hang on

I know it doesnt mean much, but this will help with momentum.

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!
