The Character of a Win

From the FanPosts  -Joel

For people of my generation, November 22 holds a special significance.  We can all remember where we were and what we were doing at a certain moment on the very tragic 1963 iteration of that date.

It may turn out that this date may assume a similar significance for Chiefs fans.  If it turns out that Scott Pioli and Todd Haley can, in fact, turn this franchise around, it's quite possible that the beginning of that turnaround will be dated November 22, 2009 - the day the Chiefs knocked off the world champion Steelers.

So be sure to make note of exactly where you were and what you were doing as you watched Ryan Succop kick the 22 yard overtime field goal to get this win.  In a decade or two, you may be called upon to remember.

Tides Changing

Just like many of you fans I have watched every Chiefs game since I can remember. Today reminded me of a game that took place of Oct 2nd 2005. 4 seasons ago the chiefs lost 37-31 to the Eagles which was the beginning of the end of our short but AMAZING offensive dominance, and the beginning of our current depression. During this game the Chiefs led 24-13 at half eventually giving up 24 points to 1 touchdown. McNabb threw for 369 yards and 3 TD's on 48 attempts, Owens caught 11 passes for 171 yards.  

Today for the first time since that day in 2005 the Chiefs supplied a suitable product on the field.

It has been a long time coming.... I have not felt proud to be a Chiefs fans (other then DT's hall of fame induction) in a long time

FINALLY!

Up here in Nova Scotia the tides change twice a day, it seems that things change a little slower in the Mid-West.

But now after so long it seems the tides, and times sure are a changing.......

Congratulations Chiefs fans! (seriously)

You guys really, really deserve this win. We played a horrible 4th quarter, and Cassel played lights out in the 4th. There's nothing to be said, or excuses to be made. We hung ourselves out to dry when we needed to close the game. Your team did just the opposite. We beat you in every aspect of the game, except when/where it counted. The best team in crunch time won. Penalties DESTROYED us, as well as bad decisions (like Wallace trying for more yards on that strip/fumble). The Chiefs played a smart game. Seriously? 2 friggin' penalties??? I have wet dreams about having 2 penalty games from my team. How the hell did Cassel keep popping up like a friggin' jack in the box after every hit he took? Kid's tough.

 

Oh yeah, thanks for (maybe) playing spoiler for us today, was awesome of you...(grumble). Also, thanks for taking out Ben. Good strategy though, gotta hand it to your D...Just kidding. Let me vent a little bit, ok? :)

Best defensive effort of the year!


Forget about the score, and passing yards allowed.  This defensive effort may have been one of our biggest efforts in the past few years.  The way the D lined up and attacked Pittsburgh reminded me of years gone by.  I know the Pittsburgh line was banged up, but we finally kept sending everyone.  Derrick Johnson made plays.  Did you see him jump over Mendenhall, and hold onto Big Ben?  Magee, Dorsey, and TJ took up blockers.  We brought it.  Big Ben was feeling it before he hit DJ's knee.

After watching Hines Ward do the chop after his TD, I wanted to see how the Chiefs protected their house.  In my mind, they responded with their best game of the year.  All of this without LJ and DBowe. 

Again, incredible effort.  Pittsburgh had some key possessions late in the fourth, and in OT, and we, the D stopped 'em!

Can the Chiefs run the table?


Any consistency on offense and timely stops on D and it is possible. We got the Chargers, Donks twice, the Bills, the Browns and Cincy. Cincy may have their position wrapped up by the time we play them but they got a backup running back that will try to show he still has tread on the tires. If we can win out, Denver and SD have tough schedules the rest of the way a division title is not impossible.
