Friday Night Open Thread

by Chris Thorman on Dec 18, 2009 6:00 PM CST in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

Here is an open thread for the evening. I'm headed to Mrs. Arrowhead Pride's office Christmas party, which I'm genuinely excited for. Should be a blast.

Use this thread to chat Chiefs, or whatever else is on your mind.

I'm headed out later tonight as well

Which is unusual for me these days. Should be fun.

Of course, that means since Chris and I are both unavailable there will be huge breaking news with the Chiefs.

Went to the panther game last year(only nfl game ive been to so far) and I can honestly say that that was the last time I saw someone other then me wear anything chiefs related. Not as suprising now days concidering our record. Have you been to any games here?

by motrepip on Dec 18, 2009 8:01 PM CST via mobile up reply actions

I've been here for 10 years

and I’ve probably averaged a game a year. Problem is I’d rather watch Chiefs online or listen to it on the fox than see a panthers game live. I’m originally from upstate NY and saw a Chiefs-Buffalo game while up there. Completely different environment. I was 14 at the time and my parents wouldn’t let me wear my Chiefs stuff because (in the 90’s) the Chiefs weren’t much liked in Buffalo due to them both being very good teams. My favorite game I’ve ever been to, even though we lost. It’s the environment I’d expect Arrowhead to be like. One of these years I’ll make the trip out and watch a game there.

Yeah, its kinda like my mecca too. One day, before I die, ill be in kc to see a game. Me and the fam were thinkin about going to the panthers-saints game in a couple weeks. Could be interesting. Thinkin ill go in my kc jersey. It seems like the fans here are just happy to even have a team. Havent really caught any hell from any panther fans here. At least not like other teams’ fans

Me and 2 other Chiefs fans go to The Stool Pigeon to watch the games on Sundays. We have our own corner of the bar……

waiting for the snow to fall…just got done watching “frosty” with the kids…just checked out walter mock draft…they have the chiefs taking an OL

NO

although o-line needs upgraded its not as pressing as defensive help, we just drafted albert 2 years ago. We talk about sophmore slump for everybody else why not albert, for him its just a busted pick. Give the guy some time. he has no help other than waters who cant chip on his side cause of the weakness of the center and RG. I would go either berry or try to trade back and take a rush LB. With locker staying in school and if Bradford has a good pro day/combine then maybe some team would want to trade up to get him

by dt58 on Dec 18, 2009 8:39 PM CST reply actions

Good point...

on Albert. On the O-line, you’re generally only as good as the guys next to you.

by Scott B. on Dec 18, 2009 8:54 PM CST up reply actions

Especially when its an o-line and pass blocking. It takes 5 players not only on the same page but 5 good to above average players along the line to generate a good pocket. Albert has the skill as well as waters, niswanger and the revolving door at RG doesnt and o’callaghan is yet to be proven but we have nothing better. Get a C and a RG in rounds 3-5 and they will most likely be starters or work their way in through the season and use the first pick for an instant upgrade on defense.

Good luck Chiefs against the Browns, you can beat them.

A Chiefs video game

I don’t play video games but I would like to see one where you could use all the same Chiefs players except you get to change QBs to what ever famous QBs you choose and them compare the results to Cassell. It would have to be very accurate which is dreaming of course but I wish it could be a reality. Lets say Johnny Unitas is in there——I’m thinking supposedly bad receivers all at once miracuously start holding on to passes. Or the softly arching pass of Len Dawson drops softly into the hands of a streaking undrafted free agent receiver. Fran Tarkenton, Ben Rothlesberger or even Bob Greise shaking free and finding someone—-Anyone!

When was this picture taken?

Is this tonight at the stadium?

I’m going to be at the game, coming from Springfield, and I didn’t think it snowed in KC today

I know that's a dumb question

They are nearly always at noon.

The tickets always say TBD but i know its noon.

Weather channel forecast had it at 3:15 so I was a little worried.

Thanks tho!

I was playing in a dodgeball tournament at my old grade school.

And it was a blast, brought me back to the younger years and I felt like a kid again. Got a ball thrown straight at my nuts, but other than that it was a good showing. We won the tournament, got 10$ on top of our entry fee and got a free beer for winning the thing. Great way to spend a Friday night.
