I know...we won...BUT...and the play calling...!!!

The playcalling was somewhat bad. Shoulda been a 19-10 victory.

Ryan didnt even play helloooooooooooooooo

and some bad, that 4th and 1 where charles went 45 yards how did yo like that play call?

yeah, that…you said it all, I need not add anything…

we could all be bitching still about yet another last minute Raider victory whew

Stop the goddamn bitching and enjoy.

Stop the goddamn bitching and enjoy.

We won. Bottom line. If we “should have lost”, then we would have. But we didn’t. Therefore, we should have, and did, win. Go Chiefs!!!!!!!!

would you take 10 of those? And then at least one in the playoffs? We all know we aren’t a great team loaded with all star talent, so we have to build on whatever we can and a win is a win.

“We should have lost”… “If they had a good QB they would have ripped us apart”… well guess what, they don’t have a good QB, they have JaWorthless Russell. The Chiefs were the better team today by sole virtue of the fact that they scored more points than the Raiders. There is nothing else that counts more. It’s a W, and it is equally important whether its 235-0 or 3-2.

I’m not terribly worked up about the play calling in this game, though. For example… I thought the Charles TD was a very good call. The Raiders weren’t expecting it., and IMO, that’s part of the reason why it worked. But it was also executed quite well.

However… I thought the decision to go for it instead of kicking a field goal was a very bad mistake… one that easily could have cost the game. If you’re playing a team that’s been marching up and down the field putting TDs on the board all day, then maybe that’s a defensible decision. But that certainly wasn’t true of the Raiders in this game.

IMO… if you have a chance to put points on the board late in a close game – especially if it forces the other team to score twice – then by God, you take it.

The only reason that we won, was because Russel, Bey, and the Raider organization is worse than ours. And, we still should have last today’s game!

That logic is asinine and the argument is pointless. We can come back right back and say “well if we only had a better o-line we would have won by more!” or “if only we could get more pressure on the QB we would have won by more”

every faider vs the chiefs game looks like this it doesn’t matter how good both teams are they are still always ugly

and even in this ugly win i saw lots of positives Belcher(i find it peculiar that he lines up right next to the way more talented d.j. on special teams yet is always the one to get there hmmmm) Charles rushing the ball gotta love getting off the rushing td shnide. Chamber’s presence has freed up Bowe plus look at the amount of big plays downfield we are getting since chambers came aboard

Scoreboard

I’m not going to get too worked up over some of the plays because I’m sure at this point Haley gets it, we are absolute garbage. So why not go for it? Why not mix it up? We gotta see what we’ve got before next years draft and FA trades.

In the end I’ll tell you IMO why it matters HOW we played and WHY we did what we did.
You can’t call stupid plays against teams other than Washington and the Browns and Oakland. That’s why. We won’t get away with that shit in the future.

How can you act like it doesn’t matter?? What is wrong with everybody in KC? When did we become so conditioned to having a sub par team that we are ok with it? The NE/Indy game is not the same as our game against Oakland though. We werent’ facing the 8-0 Peyton Manning led Colts. So our play calling on 4th down is COMPLETELY different strategically than what Hoodie did in NE. We also don’t have Tom Brady or Welker or MOss or Faulk etc.

It makes a world of difference how we played and how we were coached. This is our team our staff our organization. This is what you get. If this is how we’re gonna play and be coached we’ll always be seeking excuses for our 4 win seasons. We won’t win here for another 10 years, then what? No, being a realist is better. Eyes wide open. Wide awake.

If we had not faced an enemy that dropped more passes than they completed we would have gotten dusted. I don’t want to beat Oakland every year and call it a season. I want the Superbowl don’t you? We aren’t going to get there this way for sure. We are just absolutley atrocious out there. We’re embarrassing.

The NFL world isn’t stupid. They know the ONLY reason we even had a 100 yd rushing game is because it was Oakland and 44 of that came on one big run. Which is okay, however you get them, but in the big picture we are still sunk. Oakland is not the bar by which other teams measure where their at. Oakland is another punk loser team like us.

It was like two handicap kids having a potato sack race. It was hard to watch us make fools out of ourselves only to be rewarded by the Raiders botching up play after play so we could stay alive. We were sooooo lucky. That’s not bitching or being negative. I don’t want my pinnacle for the season to be eeeeking out 2 wins and thank God Oakland beat themselves so we got the second one.

Cause we did NOT beat Oakland. They flat lost the game all on their own. Like we usually do. I think I’ve been more encouraged by games we lost but played better in. Dallas for sure, Baltimore. There were WAY more postives to take from those games than this sham win in Oakland. I’m glad we won, it made my weekend great. But let’s not get all giddy because we beat up a 12 year old girl. Especially when that 12 year old girl already kicked our ass by the bike racks after school this year. We SHOULD have won.

it’s even :)

I have a problem with critizing Chiefs fans to harschly so I will try to be nice this time. Alot of fans on here have critized Haley throughout the season for several different things. Alot of people are mostly mad about the Draw plays we run alot. Dont you guys get it, We cant line up and run straight at them, Our o line is the worst run blocking line in the league. Draws get the defense out of position, aloowing our o line to get a jump on them.

Now, for the QB draw on 3rd and ten, Haley was obviously being conservative because of the fumble. If Haley would have threw a screen to Kolby or Charles and they fumbled it, The raiders would have tooken us to OT. Then everyone would be making post about Todd HAley’s play calling costing us the game.

As for the 4th down where Cassel ran to the side, threw it to Huff out of bounds. That was obviously a Broken play. Manning makes that throw to Bowe easy but Cassell is in his 1st year as a starter. Manning wouldnt have made that his 1st year either. Bowe broke off his route because he saw something and he was open. Hpopefully after they play well behind a good o line for a longer time they make that play.

As for the execution, Im sure Todd Haley has stressed it as much as he can. Thats on the team and not the Coaching staff. Now if Haley made excuses for the problems in pratice thats on his staff and him.

As for the timeout when Russell fumbled the snap. That was a TO Haley probably wishes he didnt call but still do you blame him? This team is not good, Im sure Russell would have got it if he didnt fumble. He was calling that TO to make Cable think, “Do I really want to do this” Thats a play the Chiefs give up 7/10 times easy.

We all bash Haley when we loss but give credit where its earned. You cant Bash a man when he does bad, Then Bash him when he does good. Haley isnt going anywhere for a couple years, so instead of bashing and giving up (been there) we should back them up.
