Beating Denver Would Be 'Pro Bowl Material' for Chiefs Coach

by Joel Thorman on Dec 29, 2009 7:48 PM CST in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

By now you know the Kansas City Chiefs had zero players selected to the 2010 Pro Bowl. And you also probably know that this is the first time in 31 years that has happened (and there were a lot of bad teams in that time frame).

Chiefs head coach Todd Haley was asked yesterday if any of his players had played at a Pro Bowl level.

"The Pro Bowl thing is for the players and I’m about trying to win games," he said.

And what's he supposed to say? He probably knew any Chiefs getting into the Pro Bowl would be a long shot.

"Right now we have three and we’re going on the road against Denver and have a chance to knock them out of the playoffs and that’s what I’d like to really get. That would be Pro Bowl material for me."

Yeah, no Pro Bowlers sucks. A lot.

But knocking Denver out of the playoffs? That would be a nice replacement.

No Pro Bowlers sucks...kinda...not really

I mean I haven’t watched the Pro Bowl since i was a kid, I couldn’t care less about the game itself and it’s not like we got screwed. Some Chiefs did have a good year but I can’t really think of anyone that should have made it over someone who did. I guess it’s not really a big deal to me….we’ll get em next year.

Don't Fuccop Succop

A win in Denver

would be a great way to boost the morale of this organization heading into the offseason. The resulting draft position should in no way stop this team from playing as hard as possible for said victory. We really need to make a statement and see some of these guys step up for this game. We’ve seen flashes of offense, defense, and special teams at different times. I hope we can see the different components firing on all cylinders in unison to close this season out.

Anyone who thinks Haley doesn't want to win is crazy.

After the way they embarrassed us at OUR house, fuck that! He’ll be pulling out all the stops. I guarantee it. Some of these players know that they are playing for their jobs so, they will play hard the whole game.

Charles will get that 1000 yard mark.

Oh jesus...

…please let us beat Denver. Nothing this weekend would please me more than seeing those bastard mountain-men crying in their beers, Cutler-style.

It would be absolutely the best thing in a losing season.

If we beat Denver… oh, I can’t wait.

im with haley

2000 was the last time we won in denver to beat them there and to knock them out of the playoffs would be a perfect ending to the season not to mention a huge boost to the confidence to the team going into next season
