Chiefs Avoid Tebow Time And Beat Broncos, 7-3
by Joel Thorman on Jan 1, 2012 6:12 PM CST

PrintLike the 2009 season the Kansas City Chiefs have ended the season on a high note by beating the Denver Broncos and potentially knocking them out of the playoffs. KC completed the game, 7-3. Low scoring, ugly, defensive, whatever you want to call it. They got it done.
The game ended on a Brandon Carr interception. Carr is scheduled to be a free agent this year and most fans want him back so it was a fitting end to the season.
The Chiefs had two sacks on the day and played good defense, only giving up three points. The Broncos did as expected offensively and ran. A lot. Tim Tebow only completed five passes. Willie McGahee had 147 yards but needed 28 carries to do it. The Chiefs offense seemed to be decent moving the ball at times but they were too often ineffective. Only scoring seven points in an NFL game won't win very often.
Kyle Orton finished the game 15-of-29 for 180 yards and played average at best. Dwayne Bowe had a big first half before leaving with a neck injury. (No updates on him.) Dexter McCluster and Thomas Jones combined for 27 carries.
That's it -- 7-9 for the year. Funny to think about but that was my preseason prediction considering the hard schedule. Things didn't go as expected this year (not even close) but the end result sounds about right, surprisingly.
So the playoff scenarios in the AFC West are now easy. If the Oakland Raiders win this afternoon, they're in. If they don't, Denver's in.

Never thought I would say this...but go Raiders!
I don’t want Tebow in the playoffs.
Always a fan, win or lose. Go Chiefs!
Raiders just lost...
Get ready for Tippy Toes Tebow and the Denver Donkeys to go 1 and out in the playoffs. Can’t think of a worse team to make the playoffs than this one.

That wasn't great defense.
That was a battle of ineptitude, especially at the QB position for both teams.
Offensively, I agree. Defensively, I disagree.

Today’s win is more satisfying if it knocks the Broncos out of the playoffs . Though watching them get manhandled would be nice too.

good job Orton
keep it up next 2 weeks, ill remove my Tebow picture
All he does is win.
Except when he loses three in a row to close the season. Oh, and gets humiliated in the playoffs.

7-9
was actually my prediction to and I think we could have pulled off at least 1 more win with Charles and Berry in there and probably have repeated our playoff performance last season.
Wow, Ford really screwed the pooch...
Looked like he wasn’t even looking for it.

It is going to be embarrassing to see the Broncos represent the AFC in the playoffs. Tebow is not a QB (a half dozen completions for 60 yds) and everyone knows how to beat him now.
If only we had beaten the Raiders last week!
Blame my wife!
Just because I haven't responded, doesn't mean you won the argument!

One blocked field goal (of two) knocked us out of playoffs.

With Oakland most likely losing..
It makes me hate them even more. They knock us out of the playoffs and watch us give the division right too them by beating the Broncos and they piss it away. It makes me sick to my stomach to think that if we just make one more FG, we are in the playoffs…
I'd rather see the Broncos in the playoffs.
I know the Broncos will lose their first playoff game against PITT. Oakland, although they probably would’ve lost, still have a real QB. They would have a better chance to win, and I’d rather not see an AFC West team win a playoff game unless its us.
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
Just as I expected going into this week
The Broncos would lose but back into the playoffs with an Oakland loss.
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
This season should be considered some kind of very weird success
Brutal schedule, losing 4 of our best 7 players, losing starting QB and HC, and we somehow finish 7-9 and beat the only unbeaten team? I’ll take it I guess.
Next season though, my expectations are extremely high, schedule will be better, injuries should be healed, and Houston/Bailey/Bawldin should be ready to dominate.

Seriously, think about 2012
Romeo as head coach

Players returning from injury probably not as explosive in their first year back
Muir as the OC

by RememberDelaney37 on Jan 1, 2012 6:42 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
It doesn't make me feel good, but that's probably what will happen with a Crennel hiring
He named Zorn as one of the guys who gameplanned for the Packers win. He doesn’t call the play though, Muir does and Muir has shown to be shitty.
As for Cassel regression, I chalk that up to line play and a lack of JC, plus Cassel lacks talent and has always been a back-up masquerading as a starter. He had a “solid” season last year stat-wise, but wasn’t really any good if you actually watched games. He still had issues, compounded by the fact that we had no run game and horrible pass protection you get a bad one out of Cassel.
Again don’t think its the best ever thing in the world, but most likely to happen. Anything would be better then seeing Muir calling plays again anyways.

by ChiefWarPaint on Jan 1, 2012 9:13 PM CST up reply actions
I'm ok with Romeo
as long as we get a new OC.
Orton is better then Cassel, and Cassel was going to be our starter next year
So we draft 12 vs 8…if there is a player we really want, we’ll trade up 4 spots.
Players are coming back easier then in the past, but even if you are correct…JC and Berry will still be better then TJ and JM/SP/RL
Very true
A 70% Berry/JC are better than any other RB or safety we ran out there this season. But still, I just think too many people are expecting them to come right back in 2012 in top form of 2010. Don’t think its going to happen that way. They may not be able to help improve this team much next season.

by RememberDelaney37 on Jan 1, 2012 6:37 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
The thing they had going for them....
Is that their injuries happened at the beginning of the season. Will they be 100%? No…..but I think they have a good shot at coming out of the gates in pretty good form.
Good point
I’m obviously hoping for the best from them, and the time frame of their recovery before the beginning of the season might make a huge difference for 2012. No doubt we need them back at 100% asap

I think we were
actually a better team talent wise in 2010 then 2011. Houston, Baldwin, Hudson, Bailey are guys we can build on. Our playmakers on both sides of the ball will be a lot better when we fix our OL and DL, which just got blown off the ball all year.

Not only that
But the president doesn’t have the power to reform it anyway, but its RP’s belief that cutting back on the wars and the military could help pay for our rising domestic costs at least in the mean time.
Shifting awareness back home, instead of out in other’s people’s business abroad is the best path to reform I think.

7-9 is pretty good considering the crap we went through this year.
There’s a lot of work to be done in the off season and I don’t expect it all to be completed by the time next season rolls around. We definitely need to get rid of Muir as OC and find somebody who’s halfway competent at the job. The next is to find an O-line. We really do need a new QB, but I don’t see that getting addressed this year, with our draft position and all the other things we need. Finally, we need another pass rusher opposite Tamba.
All that being said, I have some optimism for RAC as HC. The players are obviously behind him and so far he’s 2-1 in his stint (assuming that the interim tag is dropped). We just need a shake-up in the coaching staff.

G,C, RT and 3-4 DEs are not worth a top 5 pick
Again I disagree
Tyson Jackson was the prototypical 3-4 DE coming out of Kansas City, just because he hasn’t been as good as he should have been, doesn’t necessarily make it a bad pick.

I look at it like this...
If you have an offensive line that can keep a QB off his back, and a 3-4 DL that can allow LB’s to run free then you can plug those other spots in with average guys and they can excel.
I agree that there is a different priority on those positions, but I don’t think taking OL or DL in the first round is bad… Especially if you think they will be worth it… Ideally KC would have traded down and still have taken Tyson

Bowe?
Good thing we dont need another one. 1st round pick should be the #1 RT on the board assuming nothing bold happens with STL to get RG3
Matt Flynn
Should we go after him? instead of drafting a QB? Use our picks for the OL and DL
Tempted to agree
But I didnt see a complete QB, I saw a gunslinger that had some WR’s step up and make huge plays.

Valid point
I just dont think orton or cassel is the answer. I also dont see pioli drafting up to get RGIII. we might be able to get landry jones
Landry Jones???
Dude is pathetic. No way he should come out. He needs another year, and he’ll still suck.
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
No
I’m sick of trying to make something out of career backups. We need to resign Orton to a short contract and have him compete with Cassel next year. Whoever loses the competion is traded for whatever we can get. Stanzi should be backup and get some reps in practice and preseason and if our starter goes down. After next year (or this year if we get lucky) take a REAL Qb in the draft.
I have enough faith in whoever wins between Orton and Cassel to make us somewhat respectable next year that I am ok with either as our QB for a little while.
But......
THAT would be too logical! C’mon MAN!

Today again shows we have a great defense. Add Berry and we will be top 5 in league next year. For the offense we bring back Charles, Moeki and add in two top picks for OL in draft. That attracts Matt Flynn. I am jacked for next year!!

1. I have never been a fan of the saying “backing into the playoffs”, but if there was a case to be made for it is the 2011 Denver Broncos. Not a single impressive victory and losing 3 straight games to finish the season.
2. Bowe is clearly a huge part of the offense. Pay the man!
3. What if…..Damn Raider game
4. I am excited about next season. As long as our guys come back at least 95% of what they were, we are adding 2 first round quality players and a 2-3 round player. We are only a solid QB away from being a real SB contender.
I am going to enjoy watching the Broncos get destroyed in the playoffs.

What a pathetic team this really is.
We’re light years away from being good, on either side of the ball. On top of that, theres no coaching fixes out there available. This isn’t going to turn out well for a few years to come. I’d prefer wholesale change to Crennel, but with who?

And holding the opponent team to a season low 3 points at home
that they only managed courtesy of a muffed punt inside our own 20. Ballers ball on the scoreboard, not in the yards against column.

I think we are pretty good at WR and really short on depth at CB. We are somewhat spoiled as fans by watching two great corners go at it every week. We were very lucky they were both healthy this year or it would have been much worse.
I know it sounds crazy but I think Bowe is more easily replaced. (maybe with Lloyd and McD?)

I don't know
I was perfectly content with the way this game played out. How some people can say we suck on both sides of the ball is madness to me. The second half of the season (with one exception being the Jets) the defense was fantastic.
And I agree with those who posted upthread that this team looked a lot different without Bowe on the field. But besides Dex we also had no serviceable running back either. Just like the Bears game, that’s the offense that was needed to close out the game. It’s not pretty, it’s not supposed to be. It chews clock and wins the game when the Broncos showed no signs they would be able to score.
Clear needs on the OL and TE positions and our offense immediately improves leaps and bounds with Charles back.
I’ll take 7-9 when most here were trying to find ONE win at 0-3.
Yeah, I remember that.

I imagine he played differently
knowing that Tebow was there. He was probably keeping more of an eye on the run, knowing that he didn’t have to respect the pass much.
Orton average at best?
Thought Orton played well. No turnovers and ran the game plan well. Not his fault the OC called the game on his heals or that Bowe was injured. I’m sure KO would’ve loved to air it out! Why no deep passes?
I agree 100%....
Orton managed the game pretty darn well, was at least moving it in the 1st half, something we haven’t seen too much of with Cassel.

One thing I noticed.
Teams seem to score a lot more in the red zone when they have a good tight end. Pope and becht need to go. Since Tony was hurt the whole season, I think that lead to some of our problems. 7-9 to me with all the injuries is really not that bad and gives me hope for next year.
Orton’s arm will open up more running lanes for Jamaal. I just hope he comes back at full strength.
Yet another reason
to consider trading down in the first round to take Dwayne Allen, TE from Clemson. He & Moeaki would be a great tandem.
i kind of hope somehow WR mcnutt from iowa makes it to kc to complete team iowa, with stanzi to mcnutt and moeaki

Man I agree.
Look at all the quarterbacks that made the playoffs. Tom, Drew and Alex Smith all had go to TE. There is something to be said about a backup QB but that also could be said for TE’s.
Orton worked very well with Olsen and Clark in Chicago!
Had absolutely nothing to work with in Denver. Play action and throwing to the TE works extremely well inside the 10 yard line.
Making A Statement For 2012-13
Just two months ago when we lost to both Denver & Miami in Arrowhead, I though that Romeo was done as DC. The problem with this season was Todd Haley and his playcalling. What I learned during the month of December is that, this team LOVE PLAYING FOR Romeo, and I was wrong about saying that the game done pass Romeo by. The head man for our Chiefs should be either Jeff Fisher or Romeo. We can’t go wrong with either one running this team. I do have some concern about next year OC !! The word out on the street is, if Romeo gets the job then Josh McD. will be hired as the OC, and that scares me.
If this defense plays like next year and with Cassel, Charles & Moeaki coming back for the offense, we should be able to regain the AFC West title back with some key addition: veteran backup QB( Orton), OL, DL, RB
Great Game!!!
orton will be the starter over cassel next year if we resign orton
don’t want mchoodie any were near one arrowhead drive

by niageriannit1 on Jan 1, 2012 11:46 PM CST up reply actions
I have no problem with McD as OC
outside of this year he has been in charge of AAA offenses in this league, including record breaking ones. He has worked with Cassel and Orton, getting the most out of each. We have the pieces on offense in place that he will need and a HC/GM he respects and I’m guessing will listen to. He also presumably brings another all-pro level WR with him.
