Official Chiefs Vs. Cowboys Thread

[Vanilla Garilla]

Ok, a good but not great first half. We really need to get the running game going, how about this coach Haley, Stop running the damn draw!!!

[honda522]

God dam refs are trying to push Dallas to win. That was a fumble! Hope Cassel is ok, freaking line is allowing him to get hurt.

[fairladyZ]

y we dont' run more screens to LJ is beyond me!!!!

[Stumplifter]

I hear that.... but I will say that I've seen the draw called less today... thankfully.

My God, it's half time and the Chiefs are leading.

I've got this strange feeling, not sure how to describe it.. I know I felt it before but it was along time ago. I think it's called 'happiness'.

[majorwoody]

First of all >>>>>>GO CHIEFS<<<<<<<

[fairladyZ]

i am really really really getting fed up with Matt hanging onto the ****ing ball... Throw the thing away for **** sakes!!

[matthewschiefs]

GO CHIEFS good to see a lead.

[majorwoody]

Come on offense get your **** togeather

[majorwoody]

stupid for trading allen STUPID STUPID STUPID

[majorwoody]

****ing edward's

[matthewschiefs]

A td here would be HUGE.

[majorwoody]

come on offense

[majorwoody]

what ever happened to koby smith he showed more heart than LJ

[majorwoody]

i remember he got hurt last year

[matthewschiefs]

what ever happened to koby smith he showed more heart than LJ

Hes just been hurt alot.

[majorwoody]

whoot

[majorwoody]

come on offensive line get sh"t togeather

[Vanilla Garilla]

Can we start using Charles More ALREADY???? FREAKING PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

[majorwoody]

**** field goal better than nothing but we needed a TD

[matthewschiefs]

Come on D get anther stop!!!!!!!!

[drstandley31]

If Cassel survives into the 4th quarter, we may have a good chance. Dallas blows. Although, not sure how many more hits Matt can take.

[majorwoody]

Is me or is LJ is just not playing with any heart i know it's hard with our record but maybe if he played with more heart our record might not be as bad

[josh1971]

I wonder what he's waiting for as far as using Savage or Charles or ANYONE who can get more than 1 yd per carry. Sorry LJ, I've never been a detractor, but this is sucky.


Go Texans.. .err... Chiefs!

[majorwoody]

the big D

[josh1971]

Whooooo! Tyson Jackson now has 2.5 tackles for the year!

[majorwoody]

****

[majorwoody]

sack whoooooo hooooooo

[josh1971]

Gilberry! Woot!

[majorwoody]

damn

[drstandley31]

Spoke too soon. We suck again!!!

[josh1971]

Son of a......................

[matthewschiefs]

Crap!!!!!!!!!

[josh1971]

Well this will be interesting, taking a lead into the 4th Quarter with the running game we've had today. Better keep passing and try to get some more points on the board NOW.


I smell running back in the draft :D

[Cardinals Krew]

I hope you guys win! I HATE the cowgirls!

GO CHIEFS!!!! (after the Cards!)

[matthewschiefs]

a td and wast of a challange. damn suddenly i got a bad felling

[josh1971]

Huge run for LJ! 3 Yards!

[matthewschiefs]

D has go to step up NOW

[josh1971]

D has go to step up NOW

Yeah, unfortunately they HAVE to keep doing that- which is sad... Maybe it would be nice for them to have a game that we're up by 27 going into the 4th quarter.

3 and out- nice work by the offensive wizard play caller.

jb

[rodu]

I smell running back in the draft :D

with our line, that would be a waste of a pick

[matthewschiefs]

Better then giveing up a td at least its only a tie

[rodu]

I'd expect at least four new starters next year opening day

[matthewschiefs]

I'd expect at least four new starters next year opening day

Hopefuly its more GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!

[rodu]

Every time Johnson gets the ball, he gets immediatly gang tackled, be it a yard down field or five yards deep in the back field, and you see 2-4 O-line just standing around

[josh1971]

Seriously, even if you're an LJ super fan, you can't really advocate us using him any more today.

What laugh. 3rd and 11 and we run the guy who has barely made 11 all day?

jb

[KCraised]

The only reason we had 10 points is because of screw ups by the Cowboys. When we had 10 points, we only had 24 yards offense. Gonna continue to be a tragic season....plus, the Cowgirls penalties are keeping us in it. And LJ is bein LJ ONCE AGAIN...need alot more Charles!

[josh1971]

I must have irritated LJ- he started running better after I griped about him. :)

Still, we need POINTS here!

[rodu]

Seriously, even if you're an LJ super fan, you can't really advocate us using him any more today.

What laugh. 3rd and 11 and we run the guy who has barely made 11 all day?

jb

doesn't matter which back you use

[josh1971]

Nope- apparently not....

And now- thanks to D Bowe, we've taken ourselves out of field goal range, too!

Nicely done....

[fairladyZ]

LMFAO at goff and the long snapper sitting there with their ****ing heads down letting Dallas jump over them...

What a ****ing joke

[rodu]

can't even block on a FG, our D needs a turnover or that's all she wrote

[honda522]

Isn't there some rule were no one can be on the LS?

[josh1971]

No, but I think there's a rule where the Chiefs can't play a 4th quarter without stupid penalties.

[Chief Tyler]

Mike Cox just put both his hands on the ground like he was crab walking and let the guy hurdle over him.

I'm taking off my jersey and going back to bed, even though we're not losing, this is just as bad to watch as the last 4 have been.

[fairladyZ]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH WE CANNOT ****ING TACKLE AT ALL !
what a joke this team is

[josh1971]

Are you F'n kidding me.......?


Great, now we'll get to see a Todd Haley/Matt Cassell 2 minute drill. Should be interesting.

[Hellbilly]

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory......

[tenacious]

Mike Brown is just flat out god awful

[rodu]

I think our defense put up a hell of a fight today, but that O-line was non existent. The D got tired, can't fault them too much

[fairladyZ]

i bet pollard would have cleaned austins clock and not missed the tackle

[fairladyZ]

oh and that is 3 passes in wade's hands that he cannot catch..
weird

[Coach]

This team doesn't know how to win. 22 guys off the street could make our offensive line.

[josh1971]

I think our defense put up a hell of a fight today, but that O-line was non existent. The D got tired, can't fault them too much

You know, we can say that every week, but at some point, they're going to have to do something about it.

This was an embarrassment- and let's go ahead and place it on the fact that we mounted NO running attack whatsoever.

Sure, the game's not over yet, but that last drive of ours should have been for the win. Is it time for the bye yet? We need a week where we're not going to lose. :bananen_smilies046:

[Chief Tyler]

oh and that is 3 passes in wade's hands that he cannot catch..
weird

Another stupid throw by Cassel though, even when he's had time he's looked nothing short of awful.

Back 2 bed for me.

[bigpoppachief]

I am so sick to my stomache right now. Haley needs a Offense corrdinator !!!!!!!!!!

[Isawa_mo]

Did you guys see the blocked kick? I am not much of a conspiracy theorist, but the center and the guy next to him never even came up at all to block the rusher blocking the ball. They did not drop down to cut either...

Something is going on. I am not sure what it is, players rebelling or what. Any thoughts on that? It just was totally odd that both just stayed in their blocks and did not move while the guy leap frogged them.

[rodu]

Haley needs an o-line

[josh1971]

Nothing is "going on"- they suck, they missed their blocks. That's all.

[rodu]

at least they're putting up a fight, is Dallas running prevent?

[fairladyZ]

oh jesus here we go with the heart stopping drive!

[fairladyZ]

stupid play call

[fairladyZ]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssss

[rodu]

these guys couldn't run a screen on seven folding chairs

and we score, do we tie or go for the win?

[josh1971]

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!! And go for the dang tie! It would be just like us to go for 2 and blow it. We need to give Succoup a chance in OT

[bigpoppachief]

Tttttttttttttddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hellbilly]

Time for the D to step up!!!!!

[bigpoppachief]

finally a smart call going for the tie

[rodu]

pinm them deep and shut them down

[fairladyZ]

Ot Baby!

[rodu]

we need to win the coin toss

[Hellbilly]

Tails baby!!!

[fairladyZ]

this is it boys!

[NJChiefs]

Why not go for two? OK, mind you I'm in NJ and so not watching live, but following the play by play on the web. But for a team that is winless, is outgained about 400 to 200 and needs a spark, why not go for the win outright? Remember when Dick Vermeil did it a few years ago and pounded LJ over the top for the win? Wasn't that exciting?

[josh1971]

We should probably go no-huddle again.

[fairladyZ]

Oh **** There Is That ****in Draw!

[fairladyZ]

what the **** is this 3 yard ****!?

[Hellbilly]

WOW! a draw...really?????

[josh1971]

Yeah- Draw's are meant to be kind of a trick run. No one's tricked...

[Hellbilly]

Good job D!!!!!!

[josh1971]

ok- 3 and out for Dallas...

[rodu]

I wish instead of dancing around, Cassel would just try and run the ball to the outside instead

[fairladyZ]

are we really that stupid and inept?
if we play this back and forth game we will LOOSE. The only time we move the ball is when we are aggressive!

[rodu]

Dallas has figured out the healthy rb can move against us

[josh1971]

Because when you're 2nd and long, you need to hand it to the guy who's averaging 1 yard a carry....

[fairladyZ]

yeap

****ing joke

[rodu]

k, that was weak

[fairladyZ]

****ing Weird Brown Missed Another Tackle!

[rodu]

ball at the 50, and you can't even move into FG range, that was the point of no return

[Hellbilly]

Again,snatched defeat from the jaws of victory....

[Pro_Angler]

once again Hailey needs to be fired no pressue 3 man rush and legget lost 2 games for us now

[Springfield Chiefs]

Those DBs are worthless

[SIC J]

WOW, really?

Completely mind boggling.

[drstandley31]

Well the NFL got their way. Dallas won. Noticed they didn't review any Dallas plays! Reviewed every KC catch just to make sure they couldn't find one thing to give the game to dallas.

[honda522]

I said we should have gone for the 2 point conversion.

[josh1971]

So no-huddle 2 minute drill works for a touchdown, and we go back to conservative LJ off tackle after that. Nice.

[McLovin]

I am so fn over this bu!!$h!t.

[honda522]

Well the NFL got their way. Dallas won. Noticed they didn't review any Dallas plays! Reviewed every KC catch just to make sure they couldn't find one thing to give the game to dallas.
I agree, the NFL does NOT want us to win. Why are they reviewing the obvious plays?

They were fair calling most of Dallas' penalties, but dropped the ball on the big ones like that fumble.

[Pro_Angler]

i dont want to hear a frikin thing supporting hailey and pioli from any of you. we are winless! there were plenty of freeagents that we could have gone after and we didnt. we have all this extra money and still have crap.
Pioli wont fire hailey cause he hired him..EGO and hailey wont bench his players he brought in ..EGO..Lj is right..

[honda522]

I am so fn over this bu!!!t.
Please don't stop being a Chiefs fan, that just hurts the team even more.

[KCraised]

0-5, babbbyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! We did it!!!!

[Hayvern]

Nice stop there Leggett.... he has been pretty much the weak point this week.

[chiefsfreak4life]

How can you agree with something LJ the piece of **** says??? If he would do his job and RUN the damn ball, we would have different results.

[chiefsfreak4life]

Nice stop there Leggett.... he has been pretty much the weak point this week.
Leggett needs taken out back and shot.

[fairladyZ]

Leggett and Brown cost us this game.

BOTH missed tackles TWICE on austin and both went for LONG TD's.

You think texans will trade us pollard for brown?

[Hayvern]

I said we should have gone for the 2 point conversion.

So did I, we had the momentum then and things were clicking.

[NJChiefs]

Remember when Dick Vermeil did it a few years ago and pounded LJ over the top for the win? Wasn't that exciting?

OK, now I'm pissed. The success rate of a two point conversion is about 45%. Our win rate is about ... oh ... ZERO percent. What is our offence's chance of scoring on any given possession? Anyone know? I bet it's a lot less than 45%. I can't stand this torture anymore. Forty years. Aaaaaaaaaagggghhhhh!!!!!

[McLovin]

Please don't stop being a Chiefs fan, that just hurts the team even more.
I wont stop being a fan but going back to being a casual fan who doesn't wear the clothes, doesn't follow anything and doesn't watch the games might be the way to go for a while. I wont support another team but maybe for my football fix I should only follow the Hawkeyes. Not that this game could have been a win it SHOULD have been a win. Haley is as able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as Herm was. I am very close to jumping on the fire Haley bandwagon. I know it is early but this is absolutely ridiculous.

I cant believe I am going to say this but at least Herm was nice while he sucked. Haley is just a rude, mean sucky person. I thought people wanted off this team before but getting constantly yelled at is acceptable if your winning, putting up with his immature @$$ is so not worth it when you cant win a game to save your life.

Did I mention my Hawkeyes are 6-0. BTW Stoney told ya bout Michigan didnt I lol.

[Hayvern]

I only have three things to say after this game:

Offensive Line
Offensive Line
Offensive Line

We need one, we have to have one, I wonder if we can go out and buy one?

[bigpoppachief]

dude legget can not tackle AT ALL ! All he had to do was rap up Austin and they would of punted it ! WE NEED SPEED IN THE SECONDARY we need alot and we need to get it quick Pioli better hire a offensive corrd and Haley better get these players together. I love the chiefs but I have never been so sick to my stomache as today we gave that game away with poor play all around and I dont carr what we need to do but why did Haley not put flowers on Austin ? Geez I could probably write 9 pages worth of gripes

[Hayvern]

Well guys, welcome aboard the train to the winless season.

[fairladyZ]

How can you agree with something LJ the piece of **** says??? If he would do his job and RUN the damn ball, we would have different results.


LMFAO..... He does run the ball, just so happens his line sucks and he gets hit 3 yards deep... Maybe the rest of the ****ing team should do there job?

[SIC J]

I gotta say that the play calling was better than it has been the first 4 games.

Chiefs lost cuz they couldnt make a freaking tackle, PERIOD!!!!

34, 59, and 60 yard TD's shouldve NEVER happened.

[Pro_Angler]

Oh yea blame him and not the pos O-LINE WEVE HAD THE LAST 3 YEARS.. NICE

So your ashamed to be a Chiefs fan? Here is what I am going to do...I will where my Chiefs shirt tomarrow, even after an ugly loss. Sure, you won't see it. But I am going to show the rest of KC that I still believe. Isn't there something on Royals shirts that say "Beleive" or something?

[Pro_Angler]

Leggett needs taken out back and shot.


QFT and where is DJ?? frikin POS Hailey and his EGO..

I vowed not to wear my jersey til we win our first game. I almost took it out today but then they lost again so I sat back down. :lol:

Oh well, hopefully next week.

[honda522]

Some of you guys are Pathetic. Larry Johnson says the word ego, now all you can do is copy what he says?

[McLovin]

QFT and where is DJ?? frikin POS Hailey and his EGO..
DJ I believe he is in the doghouse, because he isnt handpicked by HailEGOly. Forget that Leggett cant tackle, cover or .. anything. Lets keep him in.

No I am not ashamed, I just am not going to support this crap. I just bought a DT Jersey, a DBowe Jersey and a Cassel Jersey. But at this time I just am not going to get stressed out over this crap. Haley cant wont put the best team on the field because he wants respect, well he lost my respect and fast. When they talked about hiring him after the 'show' he put on in the playoffs I questioned it, but thought anything would be better then Herm. So far it has been better then Herm but only I believe because Pioli and maybe Haley are willing to cut people that arent getting it done and try other options but I dont at all like the way he is treating some of the good players that were here before him, and I have to say I am not sold on his continued faith in LJ. If it dont work the first time dont do it every down till it works. Once he sets his gameplan he sticks to it regardless if that is run, then he is willing to run it into the ground yards or not. It appears he is either unwilling or unable to adapt to game situations.

My other thought is he knows there isnt enough talent on this team to make it to the playoffs so he is going after the big talent (D Bowe and DJ) and knocking them down and degrading them so they dont get a big head (Like TG) and demand a trade. He isnt doing that with LJ because he isnt opposed to trading him. This is just a theory.

[KCraised]

What was that statistic on 3rd down conversion for us this year? I know we are last in the NFL but before the game started, i think they said it was around 7 out of 52 or something? Good f***ing LORD....

[brish]

Im getting a little tired of the whole Haley is looking for respect tirade..
He is looking for players who are willing to give 110% every down.. Bowe has been a lot more consistent after Haley demoted him (and let him fight his way back), so I call that a win..
Im not sure whats going on with DJ, but I actually like the young linebackers that have emerged. Cory Mays was all over the field in the first half, and Belcher made some plays too.
I'd still like to see DJ on the field, but so far his comments haven't reflected those of a player who is pissed he has been demoted.. He seems a little indifferent. And thats not going to cut it with this adminstration.

Back to the game..

Negatives:

Horrible o-line play.. Again!
Cassel held on to the ball a little too much a few times..
Running game was DEAD!
Again a single receiver is allowed to tear us up! (Don't have your 3rd CB cover their best receiver)
LJ was running with too little power.. (and way too upright)
LJ was allowed to continue getting no where..
Too many bad tackles by Legget and Brown..

Positives:

No turnovers!
When given time Cassel played well..
That last drive in the 4th quarter!
Defense played pretty well for the most part, but they gave up to many big plays.
Hali demanded a lot of respect from the Dallas o-line..
Cory Mays! (Im really starting to like this kid)
Cassel is a warrior, even though he got pounded he never gave up!
Bowe / Wade / Charles made som big plays!
Gutsy trickplays called from Haley (too bad they didn't work, but atleast he dares try 'em)
Very good kicking and kicking coverage!

The first 3 quarters the o-line looked like they didn't give a **** that Cassel was getting murdered back there.. That is concerning to me, hopefully his heart in this game will rub off on the rest, and they finally start comming together as a team.
I mean they let a rusher clean through, and he throws Cassel 6 feet into the air, and noone even helps him get up.. WTF!

Now I will go cry my self to sleep over another loss, that whould have been a win, if this offense played with the same heart and spirit as the defense atleast did..
Good night!

[fairladyZ]

i think one positive i would like to take from the game is the backup tackle Smith. I thought he actually came in and played pretty damned good! We might have something with him i think!

[IlovetheChiefs]

Well I had to work today and didn't get to see the game. The Ickles-Tampa Bay was on Fox here. But I kept checking the tv for updates on the score.

My first update was 10-0 Chiefs in the 2nd quarter. Of course I was happy! Someone came by just to tell me that news, too. I said yes I saw. I also said I was excited but that it isn't over yet.

Then 10-3 late in the 2nd, then halftime.

Then was very happy to see we got the 3 points back at 13-3. But it still wasn't over yet. Kept thinking hey we might beat the Cowboys but also kept having hte dreaded feeling Dallas would start to come back just as they did against Carolina when they were being shutout in the 3rd quarter then suddenly Romo got his act together.

Well then saw it cut to 13-10. Okay, we're still ahead. But now getting a little scary.

Then very shortly later 13-13. Aghh! It's starting. Held them to 3 points all game and now they get 10 points that quickly?!

The score held on at 13-13 in the 4th for a while then.

Then late in the 4th the announcers of the Ickles game mentioned Dallas is leading 20-13 but KC is driving. Doggone! Dallas took the lead on us. I was afraid this was going to happen.

Then I see Dallas 20, KC 13 with 25 seconds left. Doesn't look promising.

But the next time the top right scores work their way back to the Chiefs game it says Dallas 20, KC 19! Woohoo! Touchdown! (Now I just had to hope we didn't miss the extra point or that the td wasn't under review and then overturned! Or that we wouldn't go for 2 points and fail!)

By the way, I see some of you would have wanted to go for 2. Well I was strongly opposed to it last year when we lost 20-19 at San Diego that way. And was so relieved we didn't go for it again here. Imagine losing 20-19 once again on a failed 2 pt. attempt. I think the Arrowhead crowd would have had Haley's head!

So here we are 20-20 in overtime. I come home from work. I was disappointed that Fox didn't switch to live coverage of the overtime. Instead the analysts in the booth merely provided verbal periodic updates. Well they said KC had to punt. But then they said Dallas had to punt.

Then the bad news. Dallas wins 26-20.

Well I looked at our stats. LJ's were bad again. Cassel's seemed a little better than previously. And I know that game tying drive was apparently a good one. I read the posts from you guys to see just how they played overall.

Well I'm happy we played a close one instead of the way the past 2 games went. At the same time, there's the pain of another loss. And to still be winless this year. The toughest thing is to be up by 10 in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and then not be able to finish the opponent off. But I'm glad we also were able to force overtime with that td, instead of losing 20-13. Losing 20-13 after a 13-3 lead would be simply closing with it being all Dallas at the end. But we had some fight in us and made them have to score one more time in ot.

And even though a loss is still a loss, it's better for us that we came so close, unlike the Rams who got creamed yet again. And Oakland (44-7 haha!). And Tampa Bay. Losing 26-20 should help us going into Washington next week with more confidence then had we lost 44-7. The 49ers also laid an egg, 45-10. As did Jacksonville (41-0!). So while a lot of teams got whooped BAD today, we were tied after regulation.

Again, we really really really need a win. But it still could have been a lot worse. The Deadskins aren't very good. They're only 6 point home favorites against us. Maybe next week will finally be the win we're looking for. :)

Then very shortly later 13-13. Aghh! It's starting. Held them to 3 points all game and now they get 10 points that quickly?!

The score held on at 13-13 in the 4th for a while then.

Then late in the 4th the announcers of the Ickles game mentioned Dallas is leading 20-13 but KC is driving. Doggone! Dallas took the lead on us. I was afraid this was going to happen.

Then I see Dallas 20, KC 13 with 25 seconds left. Doesn't look promising.

But the next time the top right scores work their way back to the Chiefs game it says Dallas 20, KC 19! Woohoo! Touchdown! (Now I just had to hope we didn't miss the extra point or that the td wasn't under review and then overturned! Or that we wouldn't go for 2 points and fail!)

By the way, I see some of you would have wanted to go for 2. Well I was strongly opposed to it last year when we lost 20-19 at San Diego that way. And was so relieved we didn't go for it again here. Imagine losing 20-19 once again on a failed 2 pt. attempt. I think the Arrowhead crowd would have had Haley's head!

So here we are 20-20 in overtime. I come home from work. I was disappointed that Fox didn't switch to live coverage of the overtime. Instead the analysts in the booth merely provided verbal periodic updates. Well they said KC had to punt. But then they said Dallas had to punt.

Then the bad news. Dallas wins 26-20.

Well I looked at our stats. LJ's were bad again. Cassel's seemed a little better than previously. And I know that game tying drive was apparently a good one. I read the posts from you guys to see just how they played overall.

Well I'm happy we played a close one instead of the way the past 2 games went. At the same time, there's the pain of another loss. And to still be winless this year. The toughest thing is to be up by 10 in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and then not be able to finish the opponent off. But I'm glad we also were able to force overtime with that td, instead of losing 20-13. Losing 20-13 after a 13-3 lead would be simply closing with it being all Dallas at the end. But we had some fight in us and made them have to score one more time in ot.

And even though a loss is still a loss, it's better for us that we came so close, unlike the Rams who got creamed yet again. And Oakland (44-7 haha!). And Tampa Bay. Losing 26-20 should help us going into Washington next week with more confidence then had we lost 44-7. The 49ers also laid an egg, 45-10. As did Jacksonville (41-0!). So while a lot of teams got whooped BAD today, we were tied after regulation.

Again, we really really really need a win. But it still could have been a lot worse. The Deadskins aren't very good. They're only 6 point home favorites against us. Maybe next week will finally be the win we're looking for. :)


The lions did beat them and the rams barley lost. The chiefs defently have a shot.

And Washington also gave the Panthers their first win of the season today. Let's hope they do the same for the Chiefs as they did for the Lions and Panthers!

By the way, past stats don't mean much for present games, but we are 7-1 lifetime against Washington.

just an update on the 3rd down conversion post. The statistic is 18 of 68. that is terrible. I am surprised we don't hear Haley yelling he could get a pop Warner quarterback and made more conversions.
also, i like the spell checker feature on this forum. very professional. Probably more interesting than talking about the chiefs

Cory Mays! (Im really starting to like this kid)

me too, he may not be the best or near it, but he's not affraid to make a hit, seems to love making those tackles

he can play for us next year IMO

Hell yes. I heard that guy's name called all day long. He may not be a pro bowler but he can be a very solid player for years to come. We need more guys like him on the team.

[chief31]

Leggett and Brown cost us this game.

BOTH missed tackles TWICE on austin and both went for LONG TD's.

You think texans will trade us pollard for brown?

Yeah, he isn't good enough to even be a backup here, so he started for The Texans and happened to lead the team in tackles.

But yeah, good ridance. We don't need any tackles to be made here.

Besides, I am sure that, with eight tackles, he missed 16 tackles. Seein' as how he always misses twice as many tackles as he makes.

It is always best to cut your previous seasons' top performer. Look how well that worked with jared Allen.:D


Im getting a little tired of the whole Haley is looking for respect tirade..
He is looking for players who are willing to give 110% every down.. Bowe has been a lot more consistent after Haley demoted him (and let him fight his way back), so I call that a win..

He looks the same to me.

Im not sure whats going on with DJ, but I actually like the young linebackers that have emerged. Cory Mays was all over the field in the first half, and Belcher made some plays too.

I'd still like to see DJ on the field, but so far his comments haven't reflected those of a player who is pissed he has been demoted.. He seems a little indifferent. And thats not going to cut it with this adminstration.

So he needs to speak up against the coach? Why would you want him to get cut? What did he do to you?

Back to the game..

Negatives:

Horrible o-line play.. Again!
Cassel held on to the ball a little too much a few times..
Running game was DEAD!
Again a single receiver is allowed to tear us up! (Don't have your 3rd CB cover their best receiver)
LJ was running with too little power.. (and way too upright)
LJ was allowed to continue getting no where..
Too many bad tackles by Legget and Brown..

Positives:

No turnovers!
When given time Cassel played well..
That last drive in the 4th quarter!
Defense played pretty well for the most part, but they gave up to many big plays.
Hali demanded a lot of respect from the Dallas o-line..
Cory Mays! (Im really starting to like this kid)
Cassel is a warrior, even though he got pounded he never gave up!
Bowe / Wade / Charles made som big plays!
Gutsy trickplays called from Haley (too bad they didn't work, but atleast he dares try 'em)
Very good kicking and kicking coverage!

The first 3 quarters the o-line looked like they didn't give a **** that Cassel was getting murdered back there.. That is concerning to me, hopefully his heart in this game will rub off on the rest, and they finally start comming together as a team.

I mean they let a rusher clean through, and he throws Cassel 6 feet into the air, and noone even helps him get up.. WTF!

Now I will go cry my self to sleep over another loss, that whould have been a win, if this offense played with the same heart and spirit as the defense atleast did..
Good night!

If you are tired hearing Haley getting criticized, then maybe you should invest in earplugs.

You just don't insult your entire teams roster, then demote/release half of them, suggesting that anyone could do better than them, and not expect to be called out for it.

I think he is a fool for the "guys off the street" comment". Not just because he did insult everyone on this team, but because any random imbecile could tell that the coaching was the problem with this team last season, far, far beyond the talent.

And with his inability to recognize that talent, he has demoted, and released alot of it, for less talent to put on the field.

So many people seem to support the coach acting like a d*** to the players, but they don't think that the d*** coach deserves to be criticized?

I haven't given up on Haley yet. And most others haven't yet, either.

But what is gonna happen if he doesn't manage to get a win next week, against The Redskins?

[brish]

I did not say I was tired of hearing Haley being criticized, Im criticizing him too for crying out loud! But for his playcalling and his inability to make Pendergast tighten up the secondaries coverage of these widereceivers that have been tearing us up for a month now..

Im just tired of hearing you people rant on and on about what supposedly happened, and how someone feels about someone else. Fact is.. None of you knows! You are just speculating and rumor mongering.

And I dare say that Bowe has looked more focused this season.
It's hard to gauge if he has improved considderably or not, because the entire offense is horrible right now.

Regarding DJ, I've said what I wanted to say. Your comment about me not liking him doesn't bring anything to the table worth discussing..

Well we are 0-5 and this is an open public forum...
I speculate and rumor monger all the time here. Thats what we do! I think we are all just tired of losing. Somebody needs to turn on the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel...:bananen_smilies046:

Speculating that people would be insulted by that comment. Fine I'll grant you that. But I will never believe that the players were not insulted by that, even if they say so themselves. And I would look at it as a pretty safe assumption. Just as I assume the world will not be destroyed by tomorrow morning.

It was an insult. And it was a terrible idea.

And I dare say that Bowe has looked more focused this season.

The purpose was to say that speaking out against the HC right now doesn't seem like a good idea, to me. Where is Bernard Pollard at, these days?
