ESPN Preview (http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/nflpreview?gameId=311127012)

Part of a tight race in the AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/pit/pittsburgh-steelers) have had a week off to rest and hope a banged-up Ben Roethlisberger (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/5536/ben-roethlisberger) -- among others -- is ready for a crucial stretch run.

The Kansas City Chiefs (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/kc/kansas-city-chiefs) are going to need an entire offseason to get healthy.

The Steelers don't expect Roethlisberger's broken thumb to hinder him in Sunday night's visit to Arrowhead Stadium, where the bumbling Chiefs hope Tyler Palko (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/10719/tyler-palko)'s first home start since taking over for the injured Matt Cassel (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/8644/matt-cassel) goes much smoother than his road debut.

Pittsburgh (7-3) bounced back from the disappointment of a 23-20 loss to fellow North heavyweight Baltimore on Nov. 6 with a 24-17 win at Cincinnati on Nov. 13, putting a game's distance between itself and the division's third playoff contender.

The news wasn't all good after that victory, as the Steelers learned Roethlisberger suffered a fractured thumb on his throwing hand.

All in all, though, it appears Pittsburgh caught a break. Chicago's Jay Cutler (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/9597/jay-cutler) suffered a similar but more serious injury last weekend and could miss the rest of the regular season.

Roethlisberger didn't miss a snap against the Bengals and coach Mike Tomlin expects his franchise signal-caller to be ready to go Sunday night -- even if he has to wear a splint under his glove.

"There's a pain tolerance issue," Tomlin said. "There's a comfortability issue. All of those things will be sorted out throughout the course of the week. To be honest with you, I'm not overly concerned about his ability to be effective in the midst of this."

Roethlisberger has spent much of his time in practice this week working out of shotgun and pistol formations. But he doesn't believe taking direct snaps from center Maurkice Pouncey (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13250/maurkice-pouncey) will be an issue.

"It's definitely different," said Roethlisberger, who's thrown 13 touchdowns passes and four interceptions as Pittsburgh has won five of six. "It hurts, first off, just to grip the ball. It's something you have to get used to."

The Chiefs (4-6), meanwhile, found out after a 17-10 loss to Denver on Nov. 13 that they likely lost Cassel for the season to a significant hand injury, a fear that came to fruition Monday when they placed him on injured reserve.

He's the team's seventh player to hit IR, joining stars Jamaal Charles (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11307/jamaal-charles), Eric Berry (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13252/eric-berry) and Tony Moeaki (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13289/tony-moeaki).

That left Palko to make his NFL starting debut later that evening in New England, and despite Kansas City carrying a 3-0 lead late into the second quarter, everything fell apart. The Patriots scored 10 points in the final 4:18 of the first half and didn't let up after the intermission en route to a 34-3 win, the Chiefs' third straight loss.

Though Kansas City's defense certainly had its struggles, Palko's three interceptions didn't help.

"This game is hard enough as it is without making mistakes," said Palko, who had thrown only 13 career passes before Monday night. "When you make mistakes it's going to show up, and show up at inopportune times."

Palko is expected to start again even after Kansas City claimed Kyle Orton (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/8520/kyle-orton) off waivers Wednesday, and he might not have to worry about turning it over quite as much against the Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense has forced league lows of six total turnovers and four INTs, though two of those came in the fourth quarter at Cincinnati.

The Steelers are still waiting on the return of linebacker LaMarr Woodley (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/10490/lamarr-woodley), who's missed the past two games with a hamstring injury. Woodley participated in some drills early in the week but it's far from certain he'll return Sunday.

"You look at guys across the league coming back too early sometimes and next thing you know they're out 2/3 more weeks," said Woodley, who had 7 1/2 of his nine sacks in his previous four games. "I'm just trying to be smart about it."

Safety Troy Polamalu (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/4474/troy-polamalu), slowed during the bye week with rib discomfort, is expected to play.
While Pittsburgh has had trouble creating turnovers, Kansas City's had issues getting to the quarterback despite the presence of Tamba Hali (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/9606/tamba-hali). The Chiefs have a league-low 12 sacks, even with three of Tom Brady (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/2330/tom-brady) on Monday night.

To have a chance at knocking off the Steelers, they'll likely need to pressure Roethlisberger. Pittsburgh is 12-8 since 2008 when it allows four sacks or more but 28-10 when it surrenders three or fewer.

With Roethlisberger hurting, the Steelers may prefer to make Rashard Mendenhall (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11257/rashard-mendenhall) the focus of the offense. The Chiefs have allowed an average of 153.0 yards rushing in their past five games, fourth-worst in the NFL.

Pittsburgh has won its last three games coming out of a bye by an average of 21.3 points.

Eight of the last nine regular-season meetings in this series have taken place at Arrowhead. Each team has won four of those, with the Steelers outscoring Kansas City 157-156.

[Chiefster]

Go Chiefs!

Play for pride if nothing else!

[KCdrummer]

Lets just not get embarrassed...

[kcvet]

I flipped a coin. we win :chiefs:

[wolfpack]

A win wouldbe nice but i hope its not another blowout.Getting tired of those. Good teams dont get blownout in half their games.

[TopekaRoy]

Big Ben Rapistburger is playing with a broken thinb and Palko has a full game of experience and another week of practice now Plus it's at Arrowhead, so yeah ....

I'm still not geting my hopes up.

Steelers 27
Chiefs 13

[#58ChiefsFan]

Them having Polumalu active this game is going to make this contest quite different from the 09 one. We were doing good Monday before the mental mistakes creeped in. If we play a mostly clean game we can have a chance at the end.

[Chiefster]

I flipped a coin. we win :chiefs:

My eight ball says "Yes".

[Vandelay]

Palko is starting......

Not good.

[Canada]

How do I know this thread is actually "official"?

[Chiefster]

How do I know this thread is actually "official"?

It's as good as any.

[Bike]

I don't have tickets to the game tonite, but I do have the beer, the hotwings, the recliner, and the night off. I'm ready.

[#58ChiefsFan]

Denver and Oakland both win lets get this done Chiefs.

[Hayvern]

I ak excited about the game, but then again I am not, I feel a disappointment cominG on.

[#58ChiefsFan]

We've been let down a couple times the past 30 years, I feel the same way.

[matthewschiefs]

Go Chiefs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

We beat these guys during a horrible season in 09 we can do it again tonight

[Bike]

Arrowhead looks awesome at night.

[Bike]

We beat these guys during a horrible season in 09 we can do it again tonight
I don't see Palko gettin' over on this defense. But stranger things have happened...

[matthewschiefs]

Liking this offense so far lets keep it going

[matthewschiefs]

settleing for 3 just like the start of last week hopefully this doesn't end up like last week.

[Bike]

I think its been 3 weeks since we've found the endzone. We need td's.

[KCdrummer]

Terrible call. Should have just been a 10 yard hold.

[matthewschiefs]

I will never understand how the defender getting pushed by a Wr is PI on the defender

[matthewschiefs]

Hali!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KCdrummer]

Chiefs ball!

[Bike]

Hali baby!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Now we are in the same spot we were Monday. We get a score we can let them know that they are in for a game all night. If not they could take over like the pats did.

[matthewschiefs]

And we shot ourselfs in the foot

[Vandelay]

Enough of Tyler Palko already

[matthewschiefs]

Stop them here get the ball back COME ON D

[matthewschiefs]

Just wasted a timeout we are not going to win that he still has it when his knee hits

[Bike]

We need the ball back. Not sure what we're gonna do with it, but we need it back.

[KCdrummer]

Looks like it may have been out early!

[matthewschiefs]

well at least they are moved back a bit so not a total waste of a timeout

[Vandelay]

The idiot ref pretty much said it was a fumble, but we're gonna let the steelers keep it anyway

[ctchiefsfan]

Holding thank God!

[matthewschiefs]

Sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

[ctchiefsfan]

sack!

[KCdrummer]

Come on Lewis!

[matthewschiefs]

DAMN

Should have had that pick But a nice job by the d no harm done with the fumble

[Bike]

Lewis has to make that play.

[ctchiefsfan]

OH MAN!!!! Shoulda had that one! 4th and 29 at least!

[matthewschiefs]

Stanzi PLEASE

[ctchiefsfan]

Ship!

[Vandelay]

Stanzi NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hardcorechiefsfan]

that was right to him.

[Bike]

Get this clown off the field.

[Ryfo18]

That might be the worse throw I've ever seen. I don't know what he saw, where he was trying to throw it....unreal.

[Miller]

Holy Crap!!!!!

[Vandelay]

stanzi

[ctchiefsfan]

Stanzi PLEASE

After that throw they need to put one of us in!

[SIC J]

So you guys still think Palko deserves a chance? LOL

[matthewschiefs]

Palko is proveing why he has been on so many diffrent teams he's just not very good. Lets see what Stanzi can do PLEASE

[ctchiefsfan]

Need to hold them to 3 here!

[hardcorechiefsfan]

does palko have ANY redeeming qualities?

[matthewschiefs]

Nice job by the defense to not let them get 6 when Palko has been doing his best to get them 6

[Bike]

Palko is proveing why he has been on so many diffrent teams he's just not very good. Lets see what Stanzi can do PLEASE
Another brilliant personnel move by Haley and co.

[Vandelay]

does palko have ANY redeeming qualities?
He has nice hair

[ctchiefsfan]

4th down. Held them to 3! Good job D

[matthewschiefs]

does palko have ANY redeeming qualities?

Not many that I have seen but I am sure we are going to stay with him no matter how many times he gives the ball away.

[Ryfo18]

Again the defense plays solid...As they have most of the year early. The offense has to stop making mistakes, that's when the defense starts to lose it.

[ctchiefsfan]

stanzi

ANYBODY BUT PALKO!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

He Fraking Sucks Get Him Off The Field

[Vandelay]

stanzi

[matthewschiefs]

It's impossible for stanzi to be any worse

[ctchiefsfan]

NOT AGAIN!!!!! Get rid of this moron! RELEASE HIM NOW!!!!


STANZI! STANZI! STANZI!!!

[Bike]

get This Clown Off The Field

[Vandelay]

If Palko comes back out I'm gonna lose it

[Miller]

SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE FIRED FOR THIS! This is unacceptable

[Hayvern]

Palio has made some huge mistakes today.

[Bike]

SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE FIRED FOR THIS! This is unacceptable
Thats what I've been trying to say since the first game of the season!

[Hayvern]

Ok, he has to go out now. That is all uncalled for.

[matthewschiefs]

Sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ctchiefsfan]

Nice play Flowers!

[matthewschiefs]

And now the refs are going to insist the stellers get a td

[ctchiefsfan]

Ship!!!!

[Miller]

We are killing ourselves.

[ctchiefsfan]

Our D is doing a good job here!

[matthewschiefs]

Thanks refs and Palko for letting them score

[Bike]

You've got to be kidding - Palko putting his helmet back on.

[ctchiefsfan]

If we had an offense we would be leading the AFC West by 2 games!

[Ryfo18]

The D can only carry us for so long...Amazing we're only down a TD.

[ctchiefsfan]

You've got to be kidding - Palko putting his helmet back on.

I was getting a beer. Please tell me you are kidding!

[matthewschiefs]

How does palko turn the ball over this time?

[Bike]

Haley you dumba$$ kiss my a$$.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

our kr never gets that far

[ctchiefsfan]

STANZI!!! STANZI!!!! STANZI!!!!! :chiefs::chiefs::chiefs::chiefs:

[hardcorechiefsfan]

I want to see what Stanzi can do.

[ctchiefsfan]

i'M STARTING TO FEEL SICK

[matthewschiefs]

Well this one is over the d is going to fade and we won't change qbs

[Ryfo18]

Thankfully we have Orton to watch going forward...even though the season will be pretty much all but over.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Well this one is over the d is going to fade and we won't change qbs
Are you saying they don't trust Stanzi enough to put him in?? They need to do something.

[SIC J]

Thanks refs and Palko for letting them score

It was a hold. McGraw knew it.

[matthewschiefs]

Great job d now lets go for our 3 and out

[ctchiefsfan]

d COMES UP AGAIN

[Bike]

Thankfully we have Orton to watch going forward...even though the season will be pretty much all but over.Orton has been rejected in Chicago and Denver. I suppose we're to the point that we are looking forward to watching rejects...

[matthewschiefs]

Are you saying they don't trust Stanzi enough to put him in?? They need to do something.

I am saying Haley won't do it. Yet anther reason he needs to go

[Ryfo18]

Orton has been rejected in Chicago and Denver. I suppose we're to the point that we are looking forward to watching rejects...

It won't be worse than Palko...That I know.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

scored 1 TD in last 40 off. drives?

[matthewschiefs]

Wow A Completion

[ctchiefsfan]

Don't believe it! Palko completes a pass!

[ctchiefsfan]

A TD here would get us right back in it! Can Palko go a couple of series without a turnover?

[matthewschiefs]

Well at least we got 3 more points then last week

[ctchiefsfan]

Yeah Succup!!!!

[Bike]

scored 1 TD in last 40 off. drives?
It's that Haley magic hard at work....

[Bike]

It won't be worse than Palko...That I know.
I know you're right!

[ctchiefsfan]

D is getting tired. We need to hold them here and get them off the field for a while!

[Bike]

D is getting tired. We need to hold them here and get them off the field for a while!
Then what?

[ctchiefsfan]

Then what?

Halftime......Maybe they will go into the stands and find a QB

[matthewschiefs]

Nice play by McGraw

[hardcorechiefsfan]

here we go again

[Ryfo18]

People will still find a way to blame the defense, even though they've limited the Steelers to 13 points and they've been on the Chiefs half of the field the whole game.

[ctchiefsfan]

Our D has done a good job so far. 3 Turnovers by our O and yet we've only allowed 13 points. If we could find a QB and maybe a running game we could win this.

[ctchiefsfan]

All I want for Christmas is an offense!

[hardcorechiefsfan]

People will still find a way to blame the defense, even though they've limited the Steelers to 13 points and they've been on the Chiefs half of the field the whole game.
that is true, the defense has done good; too bad that the offense sucks

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Tebow is doing good, I just might vote for him along with brady for probowl QB.

[#58ChiefsFan]

that is true, the defense has done good; too bad that the offense sucks

That's the chiefs for the past several decades. One side of the ball is good the other kills them.

[ctchiefsfan]

Let's GO!!!!! We can still win this one!

[hardcorechiefsfan]

That's the chiefs for the past several decades. One side of the ball is good the other kills them.
And don't forget the half game thing. Where they are too tired to play when they are back on field after HT.

[buffman316]

Don't blame our Defense in this one!

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Let's GO!!!!! We can still win this one!
I hope they do. It must be embarrassing to lose game after game, I know that I get embarrassed when people I know "just know" that the chiefs are going to lose and I am standing up for them. A part of me is asking "Don't they want to win?"

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Don't blame our Defense in this one!
The defense has done swell, is there someone on the D that can throw a ball?

[matthewschiefs]

Pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[buffman316]

The biggest problems with our QB situation is not Matt C. it is not getting a good back up. OUR DEFENSE WILL NOT LET US DIE!

[hardcorechiefsfan]

:chiefs: yeah!

[ctchiefsfan]

nice!!!!

[hardcorechiefsfan]

But I thought he stepped on line on the way.

[ctchiefsfan]

OH NO.......Palko!

[buffman316]

Here is our terrible offense at work

[Ryfo18]

The Steelers just want to keep this close...

[SIC J]

Why the heck is McCluster the main RB?!?!

[matthewschiefs]

and anther 3 and out what exactly has palko done to earn staying in this game?

[buffman316]

run run pass, run run, run, pass run predictable conservative garbage

[ctchiefsfan]

Why didn't we release Palko at halftime and have him escorted out of Arrowhead by security.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

I really miss Jamal...

[Bike]

The biggest problems with our QB situation is not Matt C. it is not getting a good back up. OUR DEFENSE WILL NOT LET US DIE!
Matt Cassel IS a good backup - we need a good NFL caliber starting QB.

[dietsch]

Why the heck is McCluster the main RB?!?!:whipping1:

Agreed. And when the Chiefs do run him, why is it between the tackles?!

[buffman316]

Matt Cassel IS a good backup - we need a good NFL caliber starting QB.

You are pretty much right on. I just wish Matt had a better coach and O line. Also three coordinators would be tough for anyone

[matthewschiefs]

well there starting to run the ball way to easy think the d has finaly worn down

[hardcorechiefsfan]

We could use a guy like mendenhall, one that goes right through tackles.

[ctchiefsfan]

Yeah....D looks like its running out of gas.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Yeah....D looks like its running out of gas.
Its as if they already "know" that the steelers will win. See, they give up too easy.

[buffman316]

I love those stand offs!

[Ryfo18]

We need Bowe to bust off a long touchdown...c'mon!

[Bike]

Its as if they already "know" that the steelers will win. See, they give up too easy.
They realize the offense hasn't scored a td for about a month.

[dietsch]

We need Bowe to bust off a long touchdown...c'mon!

For that to happen, we need Palko to remember which team he is on

[KCdrummer]

Offense is terrible.

[matthewschiefs]

That works lol

[KCdrummer]

Fake punt 1st down!

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Just out of curiosity, where is Bowe?

[matthewschiefs]

Wow 2 first downs Break up this offense

[Ryfo18]

Let's keep trotting out the punt team!

[KCdrummer]

Gotta make that catch!

[Ryfo18]

Bowe deserves some blame there, but again, an underthrown ball that looked like it was going to get tipped...

[Hayvern]

There we go,welcome back Bowe, great to see you back on the team. Drop drop drop

[chief31]

There we go,welcome back Bowe, great to see you back on the team. Drop drop drop

I think Bowe makes that catch easily, if he isn't trying to stop and come back to tackle the defender after the INT.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Bowe deserves some blame there, but again, an underthrown ball that looked like it was going to get tipped...
I agree(I shock myself!). But why did Palko throw to him knowing he had someone so close on him.


That barBQ looked good...

[SIC J]

There we go,welcome back Bowe, great to see you back on the team. Drop drop drop

I think he was anticipating the ball to be tipped.

[Ryfo18]

I think Bowe makes that catch easily, if he isn't trying to stop and come back to tackle the defender after the INT.

Yep, if the defender doesn't make such a brutal play on the ball, that's an easy pick...

[Bike]

I think Bowe makes that catch easily, if he isn't trying to stop and come back to tackle the defender after the INT.
Yep. ball was underthrown and defender mistimed his jump.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Ok, we got a quarter, the chiefs can still nail this.

[Bike]

I still can't believe the score is only 13-6 as inept as our offense is playing.

[chief31]

How about just letting Arenas play QB? :lol:

[ctchiefsfan]

Yes we can!

[ctchiefsfan]

Arenas, Orton, Stanzi.....who cares, JUST GET PALKO OUT OF THERE!!!! Why are we paying this ashhole to lose us games???

[drstandley31]

Just glad they're making a game of it! one QB away from something better

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Did he catch that or was there something in my eye.

[ctchiefsfan]

Now the announcers are betting we won't score....we should get an easy TD now

[Bike]

Arenas, Orton, Stanzi.....who cares, JUST GET PALKO OUT OF THERE!!!! Why are we paying this ashhole to lose us games???
Just another wonderful personnel move by Haley and co. PATHETIC.

[Ryfo18]

Maybe Palko has a little Tebow in him?

[ctchiefsfan]

Holy crap!!!! First down!

[ctchiefsfan]

WTF was that!

[SIC J]

WTF was that!

That was someone not being where he was supposed to be!

[Ryfo18]

Points...I'm still believing. Defensive stop, then it's a good time to score our first offensive TD in 8 quarters.

Hell, just fumble the kick return and help us out some more, Pittsburgh.

[dietsch]

WTF was that!

That is the 2011 chiefs in a nutshell

[chief31]

Points...I'm still believing. Defensive stop, then it's a good time to score our first offensive TD in 8 quarters.

Hell, just fumble the kick return and help us out some more, Pittsburgh.

Lord knows we have helped them out enough.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Oh wow, we are going to get at least a field goal out of this drive. Be nice to get a TD.

[honda522]

Dammit I hate the Steelers!!!

I wish Todd would call some better offensive plays so we could score a TD for a change.

[Ryfo18]

This defense is absolutely phenomenal tonight.

[Bike]

Defense playing well tonight.

[matthewschiefs]

GREAT job DEFENSE

Now the offense has a chance to win it they dont really deserve that chance but the d has refused to let the stellers walk away with it

[Vandelay]

Let's do this

[Ryfo18]

Denver has Tebow Time, we have Palko Time...let's go!

[Bike]

Dammit I hate the Steelers!!!

I wish Todd would call some better offensive plays so we could score a TD for a change.
HUH? We don't have the OL, RB, QB , or OC to make such a thing happen.

[ctchiefsfan]

We need a TD now!!!!

[Bike]

Let's do this
Accidents do happen.
Lets go Chiefs!

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Why do they do that???? Go right into the thickest part of other teams defense.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

Accidents do happen.
Lets go Chiefs!
That is so true.

[matthewschiefs]

If we can somehow steal this win I will consider it a nice christmas present LETS GO

[Vandelay]

Accidents do happen.

Welp...great job tonight defense.

Right to him again.

They should shave Palko's beautiful locks off.

[ctchiefsfan]

Palko sucks!

[Vandelay]

Bowe can hit the bricks

[drstandley31]

Turn overs are part of any game. but that was the easiest 4 give aways i've ever seen. damnit

[SIC J]

Palko is the ONLY qb in the NFL that I know of that throws interceptions with absolutely no pressure on him. LOL

[drstandley31]

Is amazing how close you come to a win, when you actually have a game plan. That should be a sign...to someone.

[doobs_05]

......love how bowe didn't even try

This entire offense sucks. Haley runs this offense. Haley brought these players and coaches here. -
Haley - YOU SUCK.

[Vandelay]

Palko sucks. But Bowe quit.

[SIC J]

Palko sucks. But Bowe quit.

That ball wasn't even close! LOL

FACT IS, Palko had NO PRESSURE on him and threw a crap pass AGAIN for another interception.

[hardcorechiefsfan]

......love how bowe didn't even try
I know! He didn't even raise his arms for the ball even though knowing him he wouldn't of got it. At least he should of tried. I hope he gets yelled at for it because it was quite obvious that he he didn't try.

[Chiefster]

In the Chiefs defense: the Steelers had an all pro QB on the field tonight. his name is Palko.

:lol: Hey it's what I do. :D

You have to admit that the Chiefs played outstanding defense tonight, even with the early fumble and two interceptions. It was kind of sad to see the Steelers get 13, when they clearly should have been held to 9. Thanks again, officials, for an incredibly bad call. Holding clearly took place after the sack, but they still got the first down. Nice.

Really good game besides that and the fact the offense was stuttering once again. Guess we'll be seeing Ortan next week, even though I just want to see Stanzy take a few snaps or even play in the 4th quarter during garbage time.

At least it wasn't like last week, when I was ready to take the 12 gauge to the TV. At least we were in this one. Wish we would have gone for it on 4th down.

Stanzy couldn't have done any worse tonight.

It was the RIGHT call. McGraw knew it. It's simple, don't grab someones jersey!

Jeez - Frank Boal and Jack Harry are lookin' old! These cats need to take a couple games off....

[nigeriannightmare]

We were in it till the last play, bowe just screwed himself out of millions. For an individual playing a contract yr. That was a drop and a complete lack of effort. Unacceptable ur a professional handle ur job as such. Bowe isnt going anywhere no team wants a half a** athelete.

The steelers might take him back.

If the Chiefs don't resign Bowe, he'll most likely go somewhere with a good quarterback and continue to be a stud. He won't have to worry about getting criticized for not putting his hands up on a ball that was 10 feet over his head.

Fixed your reply.

How was it the right call when the quarterback was clearly on the ground when it happened? The play is therefor over and no penalty occurred. Even though I don't like Collinsworth, he was 100% correct: it was a bad call.

He still held the crap out of him...

[nigeriannightmare]

I made that mistake in a game and the chewing i got for not trying made me try as hard as i could the next time. I was16 at the time im 34 now i remember my coach like it was yesterday son u dont know till uve tried not putting ur hands up is quitting. Thats a character issue bro if he leaves its not cuz hes getting a max contract its cuz we dont want him.

So? The play was over as the quarterback was on the ground. I could understand if it was a personal foul, but it wasn't. I'm not saying he didn't hold him, I'm saying the quarterback was CLEARLY on the ground when the hold took place. "That sack happened too quickly for there to be a hold." It isn't like he held him right when he got off the line of scrimmage.

What I saw he grabbed him as soon as Miller got off the line of scrimmage...Whatever, agree to disagree.

[nicfre2011]

What I thought was very interesting to see last night was the fact that Wallace Gilberry was lining up at nose tackle at times last night on pass rushing downs. This makes me believe that Crennel has realized that outside of Hali, his base front starters don't get much of a push on the line. It sure does look like Crennel is trying to incorporate more 1-gap fronts. I sure would like to see us be able to get push from the middle of our defense using our starting front by using more 1-gap attacking. That makes me really want someone in the mold of B.J. Raji who can be used all over the place and in 1-gap and 2-gap assignments. Maybe someone like Purdue junior defensive tackle Kawann Short?? Hmmm....maybe Crennel was reading my posts on the Fairbanks-Bullough defense and realized he needed to shake things up! LOL

What is amazing is that the fumble, and two INTs ocurred on three consecutive offensive plays.

[TopekaRoy]

How do I know this thread is actually "official"?
It's not! That's why I put it in quotes! :lol:

[OPLookn]

Is amazing how close you come to a win, when you actually have a game plan. That should be a sign...to someone.

But we had one...we drew it in the dirt with sticks and everything.

[OPLookn]

We got to the QB just not fast enough for the hold that was right off the line of scrimmage. A hold is a hold, McGraw didn't even argue with the call which means he knew he got caught.

Exactly! And let's be real, how is the official going to be able to see the hold AND what the QB is doing in the backfield at the SAME time?

Exactly
