From the FanPosts. Thanks schraggyj. -Chris
I've been around AP for a while now and there isn't really a tradition of creating an open thread for other team games, but I figured its preseason still so what the hell. Now I'll try and tie this into some Chiefs related goodness.
I have to say that I will take our QB and WR situation over the Bucs. I am not sure I would say that about very many teams--especially regarding wide receivers. Leftwich reminds me of why I am tired of hearing about QB's with great arms. It is way overrated. Usually the really great QB's have great arms (Brady/Manning/Marino) but there are so many strong arm QB's that seem to never pan out. There seems to be a general consensus among the AP community that accuracy is maybe the most important QB asset.
I do have a question for the AP community. Do we root for poor Buc QB play? The worse the Buc QB's look may equal a higher trade value for Thigpen.
Chris/Joel--just let me know if you want me to delete this FanPost if you deem it inappropriate. I don't want to start a trend of having open threads for other team games every Monday and Thursday.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Arrowhead Pride's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Arrowhead Pride writers or editors.

For the record, I fully support the open threads for the lone national games.

Good. Because it looks like we've got two now.
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
Yep
I just told Joel – massage the football in.

Since it was only a 2 minute difference,
we can consider this the Schraggy-Tomahawk Open Thread (“Schraggy Tomahawk” sounds like a completely awesome defensive formation).
Thanks for deleting yours, Tomahawk. Much appreciated.

No don't delete it!
One more post and we can get rid of “Fine, I will say it”!!!
And so, Craig finds himself leaping from blog to blog, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap, will be the leap home.

Nice play by Crowder.
Ward is hard to track down. I think he played KCAC ball at Ottawa.
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
Combining the open threads
Here’s what tomahawk44 had to say in the other thread:
Hey guys anyone else watching the game? Tampa has a couple ex Chiefs Im trying to keep an eye on and see how they do. They have Jimmy Wilkerson and Ryan Sims..Yes Sims. Wilkerson already has a sack on Pennington but Sims hasnt dont much. Anyone else we would of kept Wilkerson around? I just keep hearing good things about him but would he be a fit in the 3-4 d? What are your guys thoughts?
We may get to see Connor Barth do some kicking for Miami too.
Is Vick actually starting/playing?
And so, Craig finds himself leaping from blog to blog, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap, will be the leap home.

I bet he does.
He might be fresher than people think. Two years off from contact might actually do a body good.

I'm sure he still had contact

Vick
Been in on several possessions. Lined up mostly as a wildcat QB, but also lined up in the slot. Donovan McNabb lined up wide right on one play.
Uhh….this is going to be freaking sweet!
Phili is going to be awesome to watch this year

they show that stuff in preseason to make people prepare for it
that is why they don’t hide it. that way teams in weeks one through four need to deal with it. i think that includes us.
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
Possibly includes us
Remember, as of now he’s still suspended until at most week six, at the minimum his first game back will be the Chiefs.
by Joel Thorman on Aug 27, 2009 7:51 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah.
He also lined up as the sole QB in a traditional formation a few times (McNabb not on the field). He had a few shuffle passes.
He did fire a freaking laser on one pass down the right short seam. It was the Vick type pass where it seems to actual accelerate in the air as it goes.
by DThomasReigns on Aug 27, 2009 7:49 PM CDT up reply actions
4/4, 19 yrds
If anyone was wondering.
"The first step to penetration... must not be lateral"
-Confucius, in contrary to Glenn Dorsey lining up in the 2-tech
IMO
Miami takes a big step backwards this year

Chiefs were very vulnerable to any kind of misdirection/trickery.
I think they still are.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
If the season was 18 weeks long--this could be a real game
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
When they expand the season, I think they will push it back, having the Superbowl in mid-february

Still the same idea
Chiefs/Seahawks would still be the first regular season game. Holy crap…I would not feel confident at all in this team right now.
by Joel Thorman on Aug 27, 2009 7:56 PM CDT up reply actions
Okay, let me get this right...
The season would start after 4 weeks of preseason…
Then would extend two weeks later than it has been…
You’d think that they would increase the number of players each team has from 53 to 58 or more so that the teams could have the ability to sustain that long of a season.

I think they would reduce the preseason to 2 games in that scenario

That aint enough preseason...
especially for the rebuilding teams to settle into a new system and head coach.

Definitely
If they increased the season by two games you would have to expand the rosters.

Regarding your question in the FanPost
I think it’s a great idea to create a SNF or MNF thread.
I guess you can do Thursday, too, but pretty soon I’m going to have to get the dish so I can get my NFL Network.
I have NFLN
They are showing follies from 1967. Woooooo

Speaking of "Lightning in the area"
AC/DC played in Edmonton last night and it was pouring the entire time. When they started playing Thunderstruck, it started thundering and lightening…crowd went bananas. Those on here that were born after 1988, ACDC is a Rock band

I've always thought
That leftwich had something special.
I watched him when he came in for Ben in the Pittsburgh Washington game. He looked great.
I don’t think its fair to write him off because he does have a strong arm. QBs are just a position that has a lot of flare outs.
Predictions.
1. Tank Tyler will end up surprising everyone and be the anchor of our line.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
I don't mean to equate strong arm with flare out.
I just think that it is an overrated asset. I think speed is an overrated asset as well with regards to wide receivers. You need a speed guy, but I will take good routes and good breaks in and out of the routes over speed.
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
yep he's gotta get open, or else what's the point of having him on the team??

So I go buy NFL Game Rewind
last weekend because in the Chiefs/Vikings gamecenter on NFL.com, it said “Watch the full game.”
Turns out, they don’t replay the preseason games.
New to Arrowhead Pride? Make sure you read our pages on community rules, a technical overview and netiquette rules.
That sucks.
Will they do playoffs? Or is the game list trapped in a long list of terms and conditions.
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
That sucks
It also angers me that Sunday Ticket doesn’t offer them either. I have yet to understand why yet, especially since the cost of Sunday Ticket is nearing exorbitant.

I would gladly throw in a few bucks every month for just NFLN

Stadium is nearly vacant. Halftime looked like postgame with Joe & Troy
