Jaguars QB Todd Bouman Sounds Happy Just To Play

PrintWith David Garrard and Trent Edwards injured for the Jacksonville Jaguars, off the street quarterback Todd Bouman is getting the start tomorrow against the Kansas City Chiefs. Bouman hasn't won a game since 2001; hasn't started a game since 2005; and only has six career starts. He's a classic journeyman. In fact, one of the section titles on his Wikipedia page is "Fourth and Fifth stints with Jaguars."
So, while you'd hope your quarterback is an aggressive, competitive machine, Bouman sounds just happy to be on the field. He told Jaguars.com, "At my age, you just go out, play and have fun. The next play may be your last play. You just never know."
Your next play may be your last? Yeah, I guess I'd probably have the same attitude as the 38-year old Bouman if I was in his situation. "They have a game plan to execute and it's my job to learn it," Bouman added. Doesn't sound likely that Bouman will be willing his team to victory in the fourth quarter this weekend.
Bouman's comments lead me to another thing I wanted to mention. This game, even according to Bouman it seems, has already been won by the Chiefs. The Jaguars are terrible. The Chiefs are up and coming. The game is in Kansas City. How do the Chiefs lose this game?
It's been a while but I can't remember the last Kansas City Chiefs game that has this strong a sense of inevitability in KC's favor. There's just no way we lose, right?

It would certainly seem so.
Lead pipe cinch. Iron clad gaurantee. Put it in the bank. No questions asked. The fix is in. As sure as the sunrise. It’s a lock.
Why do I keep hearing Boomer saying, “That’s why they play the games”?

You never take an NFL team for granted or you will get your head kicked in. Lets pray the boys are focused and pissed from last week and not reading the injury report from the Jags and eating Bon Bons.
Go Chiefs!!!
Double Agree
I don’t want to not only have a crappy Sunday, but to be the laughing stock of the NFL if we over look them.
Ever seen the movie Green Street Hooligans? That's how I feel about my Chiefs.
It's a trap!
Jack Del Rio is trying to lull us into a false sense of security. Then he will spring his secret weapon on us!
Just kidding, I hope. I actually think the bigger danger is that this game will be too easy to win and our guys will get a little complacent the following week.
IT is games like this one and next weeks that will put us in the playoffs at the end of this year. We don’t win these games then I don’t think we make it in the end. Jags, Bills, Faders. We need to play hard and tough and take advantage of this very doable schedule over the next 3 weeks. 6-2 at the midway point would exceed everyone’s expectations and give them some real confidence going into the second half.
Go Chiefs!!!!!!
These are the types of games that worry me.
Strangely enough I was more certain we’d win last weekend then I am we will this weekend.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
This is how we lose
The jags have sucked this year because Del Rio is a moron and can’t decide if they are a passing or a running team. Their injuries at QB have finally made that decision for him. MJD and Rashad Jennings are a good pair of RB’s and we have got to stop them.
Don’t get me wrong, I think we’ll still win. Because Del Rio’s idiocy carries over into uncomplicated and predictable blocking strategy in the Jags run game. I just more or less wanted to point out that this is NFL — there is no such thing as a gimme game.

I think if we go out and play how were supposed to there's no way we lose
however. It was picked by everyone and their mothers that we’d lose to SD in week 1. We saw how that worked out.
I’ll be looking foreword to an extremely heavy running game and eating a boatload of clock. We’ll win a close one, unless we take a return back or score a TD on defense. Then it’ll be a little more comfortable

Please don't post this.
The pessimist inside of me is conjuring up images of Frank Reich and Steve Buerlein. I can just see ESPN NFL countdown talking about the remarkable performance by a Journeyman in a hostile environment. Remember the 1996 Colts game and never jinx us with these posts please.
My memory
I’m remembering when we beat the faiders years ago when Madden said something about they about killed the horse. Meaning we were running Warpaint out on he field after every score and by the end of the game the poor things tounge was hanging out from exhaustion. I’d like to see that in person. We need to pretend and focus like we’re playing Mr. football & co. and bring on the pain!
You Play to Win the game!!!

1 td lead
We get a one touchdown lead and its over! The jags cant throw to catch up, I smell a couple of picks in a 21-3 “W”. Not a jinx……..just a prediction from a bum…a bum who happens to love football….and likes the chiefs….and will lose a fantasy game if mjd goes off.
I'm sure we beat the Jags
But I was also sure Texas would trounce Iowa State today. You just never know.
OU SUCKS!!!!!!
If the KC can't win this one the don't belong in the playoffs.
The Jags will try to run all day. Kansas City wins 31 to 10
off topic
The quarterback for Auburn is 6’6" and weighs 250 pounds but runs like Jamaal Charles…
Oh, and he’s a quarterback…

You know
if Newton fell to the middle of the first I wouldn’t be upset if we traded up several spots to grab him…he’s a more disciplined, smarter, harder working Jamarcus Russell. He can make any throw on the field, but he runs the offense by reading his checkdowns properly rather than improvising with his athleticism. even at the college level he is a throw first QB (discounting the designed QB runs), but when there is no open receiver he is deadly when he scrambles.
I think he makes better decisions than Mallet (he doesn’t force throws into coverage as often, though obviously his running ability affects that). He is comfortable under center and could run a pro-style offense. If Cassel strings together 7 or 8 San Fran or Houston games, great…if not, I wouldn’t mind seeing Newton as our homegrown QB

I have a Marcus Allen Signed Hat on the line..
If the Chiefs go 10-2 then I get to keep the hat, If they lose any of there next 7, I have to give the Hat away to my Friend.

then if we are to lose again I hope its in the next 7., I kid, I kid...but really, he was such a jerk the time I met him....top 3 of all the players ive met in terms of being rude/an ___
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Pass interference Kirkpatrick, #21 for Alabama.
Javier, oh Javier, Saban wants you back inathere.
Chiefs win 42-13.
Ground game goes over 250. Cassel has 3 tds. Basically what we did statiscally last week but a better defensive performance against a worse offense. Also, Berry gets his first pick.
Time to take back the AFC West
Go Chiefs

Hey somewhat OT, but Chiefs had two spots in the top 5 of Top 10 Fantasy Sleepers
Chiefs D was # 4 I believe
Cassel was #1!

Don't underestimate the Bou-man
He’s a franchise player, the type you build teams around. Berry better bring his A game otherwise he’ll receive the honor of being burnt by the best of them

No Givens
I am confident for tomorrow, but it’s true. There are no givens in the NFL — especially with our inconsistent offense. I was at Arrowhead to see a good Chiefs teams lose in 1993 to a terrible Bears team and get shut out in 1994 17-0 against a bad Rams team. If we were trouncing opponents every week, I’d be more confident. For now, I think we should win, but I’m not going to proclaim it without a doubt.
This is how I look at it.
We are supposed to win this game. With authority. If we lose this game we have the right to be furious. It’s not our job to stay focused and not overlook people, its our job to cheer our team on.
I think we all as fans expect the Chiefs to take the Jags just as serious as they took the Colts and to put just as much time planning how to exploit their (many) weak spots.
Great thing about being on the outside looking in, we don’t have to worry and be steeped in superstition, we just have to urge the Chiefs to play their best and cheer them on on Sundays. That being said, if you are still wearing the same underwear you have worn since we trounced the 49ers more power to ya. :P
