Calling All Chiefs Fans in MN

by MNchiefsfan on Nov 17, 2011 7:25 PM CST

Ever read a post by me and think, "Man, I'd like to meet that guy?" No? Can't say a blame you.

Be that as it may, H2E and I are going to find a place to watch some football on Monday night. I KNOW there's at least a couple of folks from MN here on AP (I can't be alone, right? Right? GUYS?) and there's no chance like the present to get together and watch the beginning of the doubtlessly-soon-to-be-legendary beginning to the Tyler Palko era.

Also, since I don't want to put forth a 2 second fanpost without at least spewing out a little bit of random thought, here's some stuff to chew on...

-Every single Cassel apologist (no, it's not an insult. An apologist is a person who defends something through argument, that's all. So relax) had better pray that Tyler Palko goes roughly 10-26 with no TD's and 3 picks. Otherwise, it's going to be tough to defend the whole "Cassel was making the best of a bad situation" argument come Tuesday.

-If Barry Richardson still starts at RT on Monday, we'll know that he either has incriminating pictures of Haley or that Haley's just lost his mind. Either way, Palko may be the first player to actually get torn in half.

-Our defense isn't that bad, and Tyson Jackson is a better defensive end than Glenn Dorsey. I refuse to argue about either of those points; we'll both just be wasting our time. Let me drop something on you though; in 2009 Troy P missed more than half the season with injuries. The Steelers defense had him for 5 games and was without him for 11. With him, they gave up 13 points per game.

Let that sink in the next time you decide it's ridiculous how our defense has struggled. A great defense became mediocre without it's All-World SS. Is it really that surprising that our average defense is less than average without ours? Especially given that both defenses were planned around what those guys can do? Yeah, injuries aren't a complete waiver, but sometimes they at least provide a partial explanation.

-I actually had two consecutive dreams about law school and then Arrowhead Pride the other night. There's a good chance I need more fun outlets in my life.

-All right, I've watched some tape on RG3 now. Will someone please explain to me why he's a question mark? Dude goes through his progressions, is accurate, and throws a B-E-A-UTIFUL deep ball. What's not to like? Fill me in here. and don't say "gimmick offense" and then leave it at that. Why, specifically, can't RG3 succeed? I need to know so I can extinguish this man-crush.

-If we don't go QB (barring a Palko or Stanzi miracle) next year in the draft and get one of the several excellent prospects, I'm filing another lawsuit. Only a serious one.

-I hope Hudson starts Monday. If he's half the player Asamoah is we're set for a decade at C. Also, Weigmann's the weak link on our line that go by the name Barry.

-Justin Houston needs to step up. Like now. Almost as much as Powe needs to see the field.

There, that's enough random thoughts to make me not feel guilty about throwing this in the fanposts. Anyways, back to the main point. Monday Night Football. Me and H2E. Buffalo Wild Wings. Anyone from the Twin Cities area or nearby who's interested (and how could you not be?) throw me an email.

Oh, and just 'cuz I can here and not in stories...

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.

I have been a minor Cassel apologist (naturally conservative, so lean toward the status quo), but I seem to be incapable of hoping that Palko does poorly just for the sake of saying "I told you so."

Trust me, I’ve tried hoping that one of my Chiefs’ players does bad, and even hoping that my Chiefs lose, for all kinds of “logical” reasons….just doesn’t seem to work. I have poor control over my fan reflex. And no real desire to fix that. (Yes, this was a cheap shot, but so was your remark).

SOOOO many people said that a safety isn’t worth a #5 pick…. yeah, I’m gloating a little here.

I have Injury concerns with RG3. I love the guy’s play, but do not want another Moeaki… Can you imagine the total crushitude if we FINALLY get our “franchise” QB and he’s only able to play about the same percentage of snaps that he’s played in his college career? Ooooh the drama…..

If you need signees for a whythehelldidn’twegetourQB post-draft class action, I’m in.

No way Hudson starts if Weigs can get on the field under his own power. I’m kinda ambivalent about that….I like Weigs, think Hudson is more talented if not as skilled, but am confident Hudson will get his shot with this team soon enough.

Houston apologistizing – I think the kid’s in coverage too much. I haven’t been able to watch much Chiefs the past few weeks, but before that it seemed Houston wasn’t getting many pass rush opportunities.

If I was an invisible ninja like you, I would also go around kicking guys just because I could.

(no, it’s not an insult. An apologist is a person who defends something through argument, that’s all. So relax)

I’d just like to point this out. You said it when I made the VERY SAME point about the word “apologist”:

That doesn’t really take into account
the way that words can sometimes grow and change in certain places (think lingo rather than language).

So are you now admitting there is a difference between the connotation of a word and flat out not understanding its meaning?

He was using it in the way it was meant to be used

I think in the reply to you he was referring to how other people use it in a way that changes the real meaning. Or at least thats what I got from it

by RamX21 on Nov 18, 2011 8:43 AM CST up reply actions

The whole argument (I think) was that people were using it and taking it wrongly. His point (and Aiken’s) was that words may be assigned a different meaning. Sure, “dog” can mean “cat” if I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about. There is a difference between not knowing what a word means and the connotation.

I DO think it was being used a little differently in the context, but yeah, the true meaning of the word is not insult. My bad.

Actually I was joking about the Flagging.

But I don’t have to give him shit. Tebow is a joke IMO, he’s a insult to real QBs around the league. I rate QBs by what they can do with their arm not their feet. The Broncos whole game plan revolves around how Tebow can run with the ball, not how he can beat you with his arm. But that just my opinion, I hate the dude.

Just wait...

He will end up as one of the most successful QB’s to ever play the game. His throwing issues are over exaggerated. He’s had 4-5 drops per game. He has to run the plays they call. Just wait until he gets a full off season, because he will out work everyone else in the league. And he’s winning now. Imagine what he will be when his throwing comes around.

by Broncokev on Nov 19, 2011 5:51 PM CST up reply actions

Little Bro

He’s running plays they call alright, but there plays made for him and his limited ability to run a real offense. He’ll be one of the most successful at running the ball, that’s it. Not even God can help that.

Right now teams still don't know how to game plan for Tebow.

The Broncos are making new plays as we speak, but once he’s figured out and teams start playing him like the Lions did, he won’t be consistent enough throwing the ball to win games on a regular basis. His TD pass against us would’ve never happened if Berry was playing. Right now luck is going the Broncos way at some point it will stop the Bronco will face a good team that’s had a week off instead of 3 days and Tebows luck will wear off. What you said above is one of the reasons I’m starting to dislike him, how do you know he’ll work harder? I’m pretty sure E.Berry works hard and he has more talent in his little finger.

Have some wings for me:P

I didn’t like Cassel when he first came here in fact I hated the trade. But over time he grew on me(No homo) because of his toughness and great work ethic. I believed with the right group of players around him he was good enough to get the job done. In a perfect world and behind a great o-line Cassel would be good enough, but this isn’t a prefect world and the Chiefs don’t have a great o-line. M.Cassel is a back-up whom they hoped would improve his game to the next level. This same trend has gone on now for way too long. I’m done with hoping for someone sloppy seconds. It’s time to draft a guy and groom him for the job. I know that alot of things should be considered this year as to why Cassels game has fallen off, things like new O.C every year and injuries to key players, but a franchise QB should be able to overcome those things, Hell Tebow is winning games.

On the injury topic, I think we can all see how important J.Charles is to this offense, and how T.Moeaki is just as important when it comes to helping the o-line with blocking as well as being a great 3rd down guy catching the ball. But I think the biggest loss of all is E.Berry, this kid is the heartbeat of our defense and without him our defense is just not the same.

I also want to express my views of what I would want for a future QB of this team. I hate scrambling QBs (see Tebow) IMHO they bring the level of QB play down in the NFL. If I wanted to watch college style football I’d watch it on Saturday or watch a Bronco game. More than anything I enjoy watching great pocket QBs, call me old school, call me hard headed, call me whatever you want, that’s the style of football I enjoy as a fan.

Now to the Stanzi "THE 5TH ROUNDER " subject. Certain people seem to think that Stanzi being a 5th rounder means he hasn’t got a shot at being a real QB, because he was passed up by so many teams. I think Stanzi was a steal in round 5 and I really think with the right coaching this kid could be pretty good, I hope he gets a chance at some point this year to prove me right. I think Stanzi has something about him call it the “IT FACTOR” or whatever you want it’s just my opinion. Great kid, great work ethic, good leadership skills, and great potential with the right coaching.
