PrintA few Kansas City Chiefs players spoke with reporters following the game. KCChiefs.com has video of a few post-game comments.
Tank Tyler on the defense
"As far as rushing the passer and preventing them from catching the ball...they were able to complete a lot of passes today and they were able to get a lot off. The wildcat kinda hurt us a litlte bit. But we prepared for everything they did.
Dustin Colquitt on his punting
"I think it's doing good. I think I had a 43.5 net or so so that means the coverage guys are getting down there. I think we've had nine yards before going into this game, of returns on the season so that's good so we're keeping thme from getting their return guys in the game so we hope to keep that up.
Mike Brown on being frustrated
"Most definitely. You can't give up the amount of yardage we did and the points and expect to win. That's the way it is. It's the NFL and when you get a good offense like that going they're hard to stop.
Matt Cassel on surprises from the Eagles defense.
"Not really. We knew they were going to bring some pressure and we anticipated that. They did a good job. A lot of times they were bringing one more than we could block. We just gotta keep working hard, keep our head down and come out of this thing on the other side."
Bobby Wade on when the team will compete
"It's strictly up to the will of the players. We're going to have to, as individuals and a team, decide when we're ready to compete. I think Coach Haley is doing everything in his power to get us prepared to do that. It's going to be up to us as individuals and as a team to decide to make it happen."

he is quickly becoming one of my favorites on this team
the guy just plays man. Notice he puts the losses onthe players and goes out of his way to mention that Haley is doing everything he can to prepae them.
thats a classy player to shoulder the loss
not sure i like browns response of “well when you get a good offense its hard to stop them”
putting the loss on the other teams good offense and not your poor defensive performance
Yeah, no sh*t!
It doesn’t matter how good the offense is, when you don’t cover people, they convert. I do put most of the blam on Pendergast, though, because you can’t play corners 10 yards off the ball and then have your safties playing down on the line EVER SINGLE DOWN!!! It might work with college teams but it sure as hell doesn’t work in the NFL!
I wanted to see that, thought I saw it, and indeed I did.
But the point of that inverted coverage is to get a GOOD jam at the line and for the corner over the top to get a good break on the ball, with an edge on the jammed receiver.
I expected something simple, but well-executed. You might beat this team with tricks, but I didn’t expect this. This is just total domination by a vastly (did I say “vastly”) better team. I don’t think the players understand their jobs, yet. Been sending a “clear message” since last winter.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
to be 100% correct
he said “when YOU get a good offense like that going”
meanting the chiefs let them get going, yet he really never stepped up and said they played like shit…which brown definately did

Yup
someone on the d and o (Vrabel) and (Cassel) need to rip into these guys I saw Vrabel get pissed a couple of times. He needs to tell that D either hit them or Im going to hit you we need leaders out there!
He hit the nail on the head.
Sooner or later the players just have to decide theyve had enough losing and put it together.

They all need to get pissed off
and get out there and take it out on whoever they are playing! I know Im embarrased for them and Im not even on the team come on guys make them respect you! I hate seeing the other team celebrating and our team hanging heads.
Colquitt surprised me
I thought his punting has been off the last couple of weeks, especially at key points. Maybe the coaches are pushing hang time over yards, but he had a bad shank last week and some short punts that gave the Eagles awfully good field position today.
His net was awful before his last two punts where he netted 57 yard average for the two.

Denver
Denver is about to be 3-0! Wow this is really Bad. Everyone thought that denver and mcdaniels Ed going to suck.

Denver beat the Raiders and Ohio
Their schedule gets alot tougher the rest of the way through
Negative Ghost Rider the pattern is full...
Look who they have played...
Bengals (which they won by luck) then the browns…and now oakland. Not impressed. They still have to go through the tough part of the schedual. Denver will bottom out soon enough.
by Wrestler189s on Sep 27, 2009 6:38 PM CDT up reply actions
Not impressed either
but 3-0 gives them the confidence and swagger that ends up making a difference long into the season. Look what we have :-\
Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur!
We are in the grinder of our schedule this year.
This game aside we have hung tough or out performed without a scrap of luck yet.
We might not have any luck this year it happens and we need to play better o Yeah.
But the Broncos are going to have their share of poop soon :)

Agreed
My fear is that the Chiefs reach a point psychologically where they’ve completely given up. Leading up to today’s game, the popular debate has centered on Haley’s demeanor being the cause for psychological collapse. IMO, based on today’s performance, it appears that the team has some serious issues and we’re tanking sooner than I ever expected. If we have no fight left in the tank by the time we get to the easier portion of our schedule, I’m fear the results won’t be pretty.
Oh yeah, the Donks will seriously eat a shitburger.

Mike Brown on being frustrated
“Most definitely. You can’t give up the amount of yardage we did and the points and expect to win. That’s the way it is. It’s the NFL and when you get a good offense like that going they’re hard to stop.
well when you give up 40% of the yards even when flowers points the dude out to you do you feel you should have been benched? i think thats what they should have asked

DUDE ME TO
Im not gonna lie i feel like its a huge lose to us. Idc if pollard cant guard neither can brown and its showed cause they are ripping him apart!!!!!!!!!! Pollard brown and carr did a great job last year but are def was on the field for 45 minutes of the game half the damn season last year. Why break somethen up. And Page steped it up big time this year. Page and pollard would be great back there but no now we got brown. Now i see why the bears released him
by Kcchiefsownuson on Sep 27, 2009 6:32 PM CDT up reply actions
I would have rather kept him too...
because Brown is old and who will be our safety next year? We most likely wont snag mays with a high pick so we will have another hole to fill….but when we had pollard we could have held off for maybe 2 more years.
by Wrestler189s on Sep 27, 2009 6:40 PM CDT up reply actions
I understand the sentiment
it is the same with Gonzalez. Maybe Pollard was a mistake yet we have to move on.
We don’t know the entire story on Pollard?

We have beaten them like a drum in the past
Karma or something eventually gives them a victory. The Refs are Karmic crap :(

we outplayed them
and then we outplayed ourselves. We imploded. Mental mistakes. we will beat them next time. esp if they don’t sign another QB.
PATHETIC
I can barely watch this crap anymore…Penergrast needs fired last week, he is completely worthless. Man, we could really use a good pass rusher right now (Jared Allen)…and a go to guy on third down (Tony Gonzalez). This FRANCHISE is complete disarray. By the way, LJ should not touch the ball until the second half when the defense is worn down a little…until then it should be a steady dose of Savage and Charles. This season sucks…..Trade Cassel to Denver for a first and do whatever you have to to draft Sam Bradford….
I guess keeping impact/big name player like TG and Allen would require proper cap space…do we have any? Oh, that’s right, we are actually being penalized for having to much cap room
by Tomahawk_Chop on Sep 27, 2009 6:56 PM CDT up reply actions
What has Cassel done wrong?
14/18 2 Tds. Wasnt his fault most the plays where wr screens he didnt do anything wrong to be traded hes actually a bright spot if you could give him an oline and more chances to pass he can and will win us some games

It'll be years
Before we are good. Next year is uncapped and 2011 will be a lock out.
by raiderhater77 on Sep 27, 2009 7:17 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
we need to draft E.Berry and sign K.Dansby next yr

Haley lost this game with his play calling
I know you say he didnt do enough for the deficit the chiefs faced but he hired Clancy a questiuonable DC, he is the head coach of a very penalized team, and he is the play caller, I think alot of us, me included, were premature in declaring him a good head coach. Also, About Albert, We need to sign a LT, slide him to LG, Waters to center, Rugy to RG, and Ndukwe will have to work at RT for a little longer. I think they should sign Levi Jones.

horrible...
play calling…when did they try to stretch the field just a little?
by kc571 on Sep 27, 2009 9:49 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
I think the Redskins, browns or Raiders are our only chance AT NO GOING 0-16
I dont even think we can beat the broncos, its sad, alot of people said we were ready for the 34 more then them but they are alot better. That falls on Clancy. Clancy<Mike Nolan
Those are probably the only chances of wins
But Campbell tosses a career high for yardage so that is probably a loss.
We are in OAK for the rematch—who knows since both teams are terrible
We will probably beat the Browns.
I say 1-15
3 weeks in and...
I’m looking at the 2010 draft. This is too hard to watch. No o-line and no pass rush. Our qb has no time and the opposition has too much. Equals a lose EVERY time. We need to draft a safety like mats or berry with our top 5 pick. Then get o-line and d-line help in the second and third rounds. I’m still interested in moving Albert to right tackle and possibly drafting stud left tackle with that first pick too. Then cassel will have the time to throw for next 5-10 yrs.

Today is why you don't lose to teams like Oakland at home..

I’m starting to get sick of haley’s yelling and angry looks. He’s the coach not the dictator! He acts like he is God. By his play calling he’s far from it. Strange calls today on offense. And as a teacher myself I have learned that yelling is not a motivator. Eventually haley’s voice will turn into Charlie Brown’s teacher’s voice. “Warr warr warr”. Just noise. Players will tune it very soon and then watch what happens.

Browns and bucs are pretty awful too. Atleast readiers and lions have a win. Hey, are we in the market for cowher or shanahan next year?
