Weather forecast: 73 degrees, sunny



Line: Chiefs -4, Over/Under: 44




Notable Quotables:
Chiefs:
"They work hard and they're going to compete. They're tough guys. We're still early in the season; we're talking about the third week so you're not even a quarter done with the season. It's important that we continue to work and get ourselves better. These guys are wired to do that." -- Chiefs head coach Andy Reid on his 3-0 team.


Giants:
"Are we standing on the edge of the cliff? I don't look at it that way. I see a lot of football to be played." -- Head coach Tom Coughlin, who remains optimistic despite the team's 0-3 start.




ESPN Game Preview (http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/nflpreview?gameId=330929012):

The resurgent Kansas City Chiefs lead the NFL in turnover differential and sacks, and have relied upon an effective running game to get off to their second 3-0 start in a decade. They've also handled the NFC East so far, beating teams from that division in each of the last two weeks.

None of that appears to be good news for the winless New York Giants, who are coming off their worst performance under coach Tom Coughlin.

The Chiefs look to keep rolling when they face the desperate Giants on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kansas City sacked Michael Vick six times, had five takeaways and rushed for 146 yards in a 26-16 win at Philadelphia last Thursday that marked a homecoming for coach Andy Reid, the Eagles' coach from 1999-2012.

The Chiefs have an NFL-best plus-nine turnover differential. They had a league-worst minus-24 mark last season.

"Points and turnovers are the two most important things that you have as a football team," Reid said. "If you turn the ball over you're losing football games, and if your takeaway ratio is high then normally you're winning. Those are two important stat points."

So is Kansas City's sack total of 15, with 7 1/2 of those coming from linebacker Justin Houston -- he had 4 1/2 last week -- to lead the league. The Chiefs managed 27 sacks for all of 2012.

Kansas City is also allowing only 309.0 yards per game, tied for eighth in the NFL.

"I think confidence starts from within," cornerback Sean Smith said. "If you're not confident in the way you prepare and work and study, I don't know what to say about you. But our confidence started back in OTAs and minicamps. We knew we've had something special here for a long time."

Running back Jamaal Charles is coming off his best game of the season, rushing for 92 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries last week.

The Chiefs' encouraging numbers don't seem promising for a New York team that's done hardly anything well during its 0-3 start. The Giants are tops in the league with 13 turnovers, have allowed 11 sacks, are last in the NFL in rushing at 44.3 yards per game and are giving up an average of 129.3 yards on the ground.

They turned in the worst performance of Coughlin's 10-year tenure last week in a stunning 38-0 loss to Carolina, which came in winless. Eli Manning was sacked seven times and hit numerous others, and the Giants were outgained 402-150.

"We have to play better," Manning said. "We have to have greater energy, greater enthusiasm, play better, better technique, decision making. There are some plays out there that we left on the field, and sometimes we just got flat-out beat. It's not a big surprise what we have to do to fix it. We just have to go out there and play better football."

That may have to start with the banged-up and patchwork offensive line, which has been almost completely ineffective so far. Starters David Baas and Chris Snee are out, leaving the relatively inexperienced Jim Cordle and James Brewer as their likely replacements.

Some rare Giants discord also surfaced during the week, with receiver Hakeem Nicks complaining about not being able to throw the ball to himself. Coughlin subsequently criticized him for the comment.

"Once you get to pointing the finger, you get that cancer in the locker room like that, it can fall apart easy," defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins said. "You can't do that. This is a team game. We come into every week, every game, as a team, we leave every game as a team. We win or lose as a team together."

Kansas City may also be benefiting from Reid's familiarity with his former NFC East foes. The Chiefs defeated Dallas in Week 2, and Reid won seven of the last nine matchups with the Giants while with the Eagles.

"There is no time to relax on what you have done, you just have to continue to build and get better," Reid told the team's official website. "We have so many things that we can get better at. ... It's crazy, and so, we are going to do that."

One of those areas is pass protection, which could be key with the Giants looking to get their usually vaunted pass rush going this week. New York, tied for last in the league with three sacks, will be facing a Kansas City club that's allowed Alex Smith to be sacked 10 times, among the most in the NFL.

The Chiefs haven't started 4-0 since opening with nine straight victories in 2003. The Giants last dropped their first four games during an 0-5 start to 1987.

New York has won four straight in the series and took the last meeting 27-16 at Arrowhead on Oct. 4, 2009.

Chiefs-Giants scouting report (http://www.kansascity.com/2013/09/28/4513171/chiefs-giants-scouting-report.html)

September 28




http://media.kansascity.com/smedia/2013/09/23/03/52/276-8uePo.St.55.jpeg
BOB LEVERONE | AP PHOTO
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning (10) looks to pass under pressure from Carolina Panthers' Charles Johnson (95) during the first half of an NFL football game in Charlotte, N.C., Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013.



When the Chiefs run
EDGE >> CHIEFS
The Chiefs had a tough time running against both the Cowboys and Eagles until it mattered most, in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs iced the Dallas win by using the running game to run out the clock, and they clinched the Philadelphia game with a 15-play drive with Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis running effectively. Still, Charles’ long run for the season is just 18 yards. The Giants rank 27th against the run, and they had few answers last week for Carolina’s DeAngelo Williams, who carried 23 times for 120 yards.

When the Chiefs pass
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Alex Smith completed passes to seven different receivers at Philadelphia and seems to have found his go-to guy in Donnie Avery, who caught seven passes for 141 yards. Smith completed just one pass that went beyond 10 yards in the air — to Avery on a big third-and-10 that sustained the final, fourth-quarter drive — but the receivers are making big yards after the catch. Dwayne Bowe has caught just nine passes for 90 yards, and that has to pick up. The Giants’ once-fearsome pass rush is a shadow of what it once was. They have just three sacks in three games.

When the Giants run
EDGE >> CHIEFS
The Giants rank dead last in rushing, largely because their offensive line is in shambles because of injuries and partly because they have trailed from the get-go in all three of their games. David Wilson, a first-round pick in 2012, leads the Giants with 75 yards in 25 carries. The Giants’ 60 yards rushing at Carolina was a season-best, but half of that came long after the game was settled. The Chiefs rank 25th against the run after allowing the Eagles’ LeSean McCoy to run for 158 yards in 20 attempts, a 7.9-yard average. But McCoy may be the best back the Chiefs see all season.

When the Giants pass
EDGE >> GIANTS
When QB Eli Manning is upright, he can be dangerous hooking up with Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks. But Manning already has been sacked 11 times, compared to 19 times all of last year. And he has been hit another 22 times. That’s led to an NFL-most eight interceptions. The Chiefs, meanwhile, lead the NFL with 15 sacks, including a league-most 7 1/2 by Justin Houston, who could have a field day against rookie tackle Justin Pugh. If Brandon Flowers can’t play or isn’t 100 percent, that will be affect the press coverage the Chiefs like to play.

Special teams
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Quintin Demps got the Chiefs off to a good start at Philadelphia by returning the opening kickoff 57 yards, a trend that began in the preseason. Punter Dustin Colquitt and kicker Ryan Succop continue to dictate field position. Colquitt has now buried an NFL-most 13 of his 21 punts inside the 20, and Succop has 11 touchbacks while making five of seven field goals. The Giants’ kicking game hasn’t done anything special this season, and Josh Brown missed a 38-yarder at Carolina that would have at least prevented a shutout.

Coaching
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Giants coach Tom Coughlin has won two Super Bowls, and coupled with how he took Jacksonville to an AFC championship game in the franchise’s second year, he’s likely headed for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But rallying this aging team might be Coughlin’s biggest challenge. Andy Reid’s knowledge of the Giants, from having played them twice a year for the past 14 regular seasons, cannot be minimized. Reid owned an 11-8 mark, including two playoff wins, against Coughlin, who took over the Giants in 2004.

X-factor
EDGE >> CHIEFS
There’s little question that turnovers — or lack of them — explain why the Chiefs are 3-0 for the second time since 2003 and the Giants are 0-3 for the first time since 1996. The Chiefs have created nine turnovers without committing a turnover for an NFL-best differential. The Giants are minus-nine, tied with Pittsburgh for the worst differential. The Chiefs and Tennessee are the only teams not to have turned the ball over this season. Points off takeaways, including two interception returns for touchdowns, have accounted for 30 of the Chiefs’ 71 points this season, or 42.3 percent.

Bottom line
Hard to believe a team that was 2-14 has the edge in so many categories over a team that won the Super Bowl year before last, but these two are going in opposite directions. Factor in an Arrowhead crowd ready to burst since its team last played 10 days ago, and the Chiefs should get to 4-0 for the first time since 2003. They better not forget to wear the red pants.

Prediction: Chiefs 27-23

[iratefan]

omg i dont have to stream this game for once! great overview, cant freakin wait to watch it.

[kcvet]

its NYC. i don't just wanna win i wanna stomp their livin' guts out and rip out their spine. and make ESPN stand there with 2 black eyes, a dirty face and spittin grass. a total humiliation !!!!

http://troll.me/images/indiana-jones/espn-announcers-why-did-it-have-to-be-espn-announcers-thumb.jpg

gee i feel so much better now

[brdempsey69]

With a 2-10 lifetime record against the Giants, the Chiefs are due to lay a beat-down on them. Let it be today.

[SloJimFizz]

GO CHIEFS!!!

Hope the defense tees off on these guys early.
Still nervous like most about an 0-for team who is better than their record shows.

[kcvet]

hand Peyton his bro in a basket !!!

[brdempsey69]

Words of wisdom:

“No game is already won by a record,"Eric Fisher said. "We’re looking at every game the same; this is just the next one. We’re trying to improve to 4-and-0 and keep this roll going.”

[fairladyZ]

really nervous now that flowers is inactive

[kcvet]

Words of wisdom:

“No game is already won by a record,"Eric Fisher said. "We’re looking at every game the same; this is just the next one. We’re trying to improve to 4-and-0 and keep this roll going.”

and we'll be the worst 4-0 team playing

[brdempsey69]

and we'll be the worst 4-0 team playing

Perhaps, but I do like this team's potential and the direction they are going. Sure, there are things that need to be patched up, but I won't bet against this new regime doing it over a reasonable amount of time. No team in football has come as far & as fast as the Chiefs have from 2012 to 2013.

[#58ChiefsFan]

Flowers or not the front 7 are going to be in Eli's lap all day, NY will get there shots but we end up being 4-0 today.

[matthewschiefs]

The O lines are the key to this game. Both teams have had O line trouble the Giants more then the Chiefs the O line that plays the best is going to be the winner of the game. You have to be able to protect the QB to win.

Losing Flowers hurts someone has to step up but if Eli is running for his life then Flowers not playing won't hurt as much

GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brdempsey69]

Close to kickoff.

Get out there, Chiefs and get after the Giants and erase the rotten history that's occurred against them.

[jason1981]

Has anyone noticed if mymanhali on here today. Say his thread. So we know he is around. Just hope he wont be a downer.

[iratefan]

adrenaline is fired up.

This is a new team. we've proven we can win. we've proven we can win against some good teams and on the road. we HAVENT proven we can win definitively and not let opportunities slip past us and make mistakes with penalties. Lets hope that reids/smiths offense can get more productivity out of charles early and get some longer completions happening and get in the ENDZONE! I really like the whole team from top to bottom are not taking this game for granted and have been preparing seriously. the time to find out the fate of the chiefs and giant's season start i s now! Also i wanna see some all red jerseys! lets go!

[brdempsey69]

Has anyone noticed if mymanhali on here today. Say his thread. So we know he is around. Just hope he wont be a downer.

You know full well if things don't go well for the Chiefs, then he's going to be spouting off like a sperm whale in heat.

[iratefan]

boo, white bottoms :( liked the red on red a lot.

[iratefan]

good short route by mccluster to get open! looks like they learned a bit from some of the denver plays from last week on that conversion

[Lord-Chiefy]

Hunt punt punt punt punt you see it now punt

[iratefan]

donnie avery drop killed all the momentum that drive. thats why drops hurt so much. looks like we dodge a bullet on the big return from the giants.

[Lord-Chiefy]

You know full well if things don't go well for the Chiefs, then he's going to be spouting off like a sperm whale in heat.

I will tell you this MMH showed up this morning when you seen a thread that have possible negative input about Smith this morning otherwise he hasn't been on here in 2 weeks

[jason1981]

Mymanhali should stay away either way this game goes. He hasnt been here rooting for them so he has no right to gripe.

[iratefan]

too bad you cant decline delay of game penalty.

[matthewschiefs]

Good start for the d

[ctchiefsfan]

Damn penalties!

[jason1981]

You should beable to decline delay of game bit then again there suppose to blow the whistle before the ball is snapped as well cuz of safety cuz no sense of anyone getting I.jured on a play that wont count anyways.

[iratefan]

offense coming out looking pathetic.

[Lord-Chiefy]

our offence better get their butts in gear

[Lord-Chiefy]

punt, punt, punt

[ctchiefsfan]

Don't let Colquitt be hurt!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

the ball wasn't tipped!!!!!!!!!!!!! challengs that

[brdempsey69]

Not converting on 3rd down and makable & it's going to bite them in the a$$ if they don't get it corrected.

[matthewschiefs]

CRAP Coulquitt is hurt

[jason1981]

I hope colquit is ok. His knee bent sideways I think. His plant non kicking leg.

[jason1981]

[jason1981]

[iratefan]

thats why eli cant have that much time -_-

[Lord-Chiefy]

robinson is slowwwwwwwww!!!!!!!

[brdempsey69]

So much for the Defense holding them. They just hit a big-play TD. Double up on Cruz and get him covered.

[matthewschiefs]

Way to easy:(

[jason1981]

Wow why was ue man to man and no cushion. I even knew they was going to try and go deep and make a big play

[iratefan]

they will target that matchup all day long if we do not adjust to compensate.

[Lord-Chiefy]

were was the safety on that???? cruz is his biggest target..he should be doubled.. t

[jason1981]

Daunte just got exposed. Hes to slow to cover cruz so he will be picked on. So we better double him up

[ctchiefsfan]

Alex is going to have to have a good day today if we are going to win this.

[iratefan]

derp blocking up front today. -_-

[ctchiefsfan]

[ctchiefsfan]

Bowe blows it again!

Colquitt did not look like he was full speed on that punt.

[Lord-Chiefy]

[Lord-Chiefy]

watch as soon as we start losing MMH will show up

[jason1981]

Yeah his right foot disnt even come off the ground when he punted. Hes just using his power to punt with one leg.

[ctchiefsfan]

He already started a thread today and I slapped him.

[jason1981]

If mmh shows up them il be pissed and wont be back on for rest of game. He has no right after being mia when were winning.

[ctchiefsfan]

Stop 'em here! Make 'em punt!

[iratefan]

sean smith - seriously you had ALL day to disrupt that pass.

[ctchiefsfan]

DAMMIT!!!!!!! Can't let 'em get any more points before the half!

[ctchiefsfan]

Stopped for loss! MAKE 'EM PUNT!!!!!

[Bike]

Secondary is suspect - job #1 (or 2, OL) next year.

[iratefan]

stripped and recovery!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

chiefs ball finally a sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ctchiefsfan]

Sack! Fumble! chiefs recover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

3rd and long GET OFF THE FIELD

[brdempsey69]

FUMBLE !! Now, cash it in !!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

yea MMH had a negative thread..after mis 2 weeks

[jason1981]

Hell yeah. Strip fumble and take away will keep mmh away

[matthewschiefs]

There you go now make them pay

[ctchiefsfan]

SHI*

[Lord-Chiefy]

well were still plus 9 on turnovers...lol

[ctchiefsfan]

Really didn't need that!

[iratefan]

offense generally behaving a lot like a last season offensive effort this game.

[brdempsey69]

And the f#^king fumbled it right back to them.

[Bike]

Can't turn over the ball. Keep away from Eli to win.

[matthewschiefs]

Horrible snap Geeze this oline just hurts us one way or anther

[iratefan]

the battle between cassel and haley seem to be going cassels way in london so far... poor roethlesberger.

[jason1981]

I missed our fumble typing about our strip

[Lord-Chiefy]

oh...that was so close to an INT!!! pressure..he will throw stupid passes

[brdempsey69]

Well, it was discussed regarding a trap game. Looks like the trap is being sprung.

[Lord-Chiefy]

sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bailey

[ctchiefsfan]

SACK! Sack!! Sack!!!

[brdempsey69]

Great job, Defense. Now let's get the Offense untracked, PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

SACk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ctchiefsfan]

What we need most right now is a good long drive and TD to close out the half. Get the momentum going into half.

[iratefan]

poor mccluster cant do anything with no room to pick up speed on the returns. chiefs ST is notorious in my book in poor blocking.

so we blew perfect fg position on a fumble (seriously how do you ot know the qb's hands arent on your taint?)... now we gotta get the hard yards.

[jason1981]

Is it me or does eli facial expressions seem like hes a whiny *** b....? He look like a kid who got his feelings hirt.

[iratefan]

viking beard is pLAYING like a starting TE. :D

[ctchiefsfan]

Need the 1st down now!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Oh Mr dynasty is hurt this sucks

[iratefan]

lol figures..... we're just destined NOT to have any TE's this year. god forbid we have our gronkowski.

[jason1981]

Wow were down to our 4 ame last te on roster

[matthewschiefs]

Damn can we keep i TE healthy

[ctchiefsfan]

We're going to see Alex Smith throw a long ball or two today.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Go for it feel gold will lose a game

[brdempsey69]

Unbelievable. FOUR TE's getting KO'd this year.

[ctchiefsfan]

Gotta have some points here! Need to go into the half leading the game!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Now stop em D

[ctchiefsfan]

OK! 3 points! Now just stop Manning! 3 and out needed here!

[iratefan]

so now we're asking our D to put a big stop here at the 2 minute drill, and another big stop after the halftime on their opening possession... hope they are up to the challenge.

[matthewschiefs]

Back in front lets not give it right back this time D how about that

[Lord-Chiefy]

Poe needs to get up field

[Lord-Chiefy]

No pressure

[iratefan]

eli should just be doing this all game long....

[Lord-Chiefy]

We are being dissectedid

[ctchiefsfan]

Gotta get on Manning's ash!

[Lord-Chiefy]

eli should just be doing this all game long....

Wth....

[matthewschiefs]

Way to easy

[ctchiefsfan]

DAMMIT! Gotta stop 'em! REALLY need to hold this lead into the half!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need a sack

[ctchiefsfan]

Dodged a bullet there!

[ctchiefsfan]

Gotta stop 'em here! Need the lead going into the half!

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit!

[Lord-Chiefy]

No qb pressure...right down the field..

[ctchiefsfan]

Need to stop this FG!

[Lord-Chiefy]

No good
..ty lord

[iratefan]

wow...

[ctchiefsfan]

Yes! yes!! yes!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

The defense has not played well with a lead in the 1st half

[brdempsey69]

HA! HA! He missed the FG.

[matthewschiefs]

That helps

[iratefan]

silly announcers illustrating differences in the teams of one doing all the right things vs the other all the wrong... last time i checked chiefs O are just barely missing their feet with all these shots fired from the holster. we need more potency and some better run blocking. still seems to be our largest weakness, the oline

[jason1981]

Mymanhali should this be banned. He is no fan. Just a downer and doesnt show up when were winning and only shows up when he finda negative article that he can use to be negative and try and prove his case for both smith's.

[iratefan]

lots of 'upsets' looking to happen this week on the leagues favorite picks... hoping the chiefs can turn the gas on in the second quarter.

[brdempsey69]

And where is Justin Houston? He seems to be no factor at all, today.

[jason1981]

I dont think there sending houston all the time I think hes dropping more.

[matthewschiefs]

I dont think there sending houston all the time I think hes dropping more.

Not a surprise with Flowers out

[iratefan]

fellas i am STRESS EATING hahah. damn i need to go lay down on my hands.

[jason1981]

I jist hope our players get healthy and get back fast. Especially flowers and kelce and hope mcgrath is ok to come back in this game.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Let's go d

[brdempsey69]

Three and out !! Good job !! Got to get a ruuning game going.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Nice stop. I'm telling you if you make Eli move he will make stupid throws. Almost 2 pics now

[matthewschiefs]

Nice job Defense now lets get up 2 scores

[iratefan]

ok alex this series is going to set the tempo of this quarter. its all up to you bud. youre the guy that needs to make it happen. use all of your weapons and make the right reads (he cant hear me i know) :D

[Lord-Chiefy]

That was k like a punt throw. I thought cooper had it

[Lord-Chiefy]

I need some tumms

[Lord-Chiefy]

Pass no good..punt

[iratefan]

second bobbled/dropped catch from avery today halting drive momentum. thats not how you win football games.

[brdempsey69]

Thank goodness McGrath is back in the game.

[iratefan]

alex throwing like cassel on the deep pass. either that or avery is leaps and bounds shorter than dwayne bowe.

[iratefan]

brandon albert back to playing scrub ball.

[matthewschiefs]

Just a bit to far for Avery that time damn

[matthewschiefs]

Our Top 5 lt playing well again SMH

[Lord-Chiefy]

Omg that was a lazy *** and effort by Bowe

[matthewschiefs]

Bad decison by Alex first one of the year that looked like Cassel throw

[brdempsey69]

Another turnover & squandered opportunity.

[iratefan]

that drive might have sealed the ballgame for us. its funny for a guy who has been praised for 'efficiency' i know its tough to see what the qb sees but dwayne bowe was behind the cb even as the ball is thrown....

[Lord-Chiefy]

Nice stop. Quick 3 n out

[ctchiefsfan]

Stopped!!!!!!

[iratefan]

Nice stop. Quick 3 n out

wow yeah - that was the biggest D stop of the game so far! i have to give giants props for going all run on that series, trying to sniff out some weakness in the linebackers.

[matthewschiefs]

GREAT job by the defense not letting them get points after the pick

[brdempsey69]

The D held again. Really need to spring Charles on a long-distance run.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Bowe did nothing to help smith!!! Lazy route. I don't think he saw the ball or looked for it

[Lord-Chiefy]

The Giants ran it just set up for the pass later

[matthewschiefs]

Ok Lets see how Alex comes back after the pick does he get pissed at himself and take his game to a higher level or does he do what we have seen so much before let it take him down into more picks and bad play

[jason1981]

Yeah I think smith was expecting bowe to fight to the inside of the db and at the last second you can see bowe give and go outside

[ctchiefsfan]

McCLUSTER!!!!!

[iratefan]

Bowe did nothing to help smith!!! Lazy route. I don't think geno saw the ball or looked for it

after watching it again i think youre absolutely right! that WAS lazy...

[Lord-Chiefy]

Stop running the frikin ball

[iratefan]

the problem with chiefs run game, aside from the lack of blocking, is that i know they are going to run even before they do... and im sure the giants do too!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We cannot keep giving them chances

[iratefan]

if that wasnt an illegal block in the back i don tknow what is.

[jason1981]

Yeah its obvious now that we cant run block.

[ctchiefsfan]

We are going to need 17 more points to win this game. Can't let Manning have a chance with 2 minutes left.

[brdempsey69]

They are going to screw around and lose this game, if they don't get their act together on Offense.

[iratefan]

Giants arent just running to get yards, Giants are running to open up the deeper routes. i dont like it one bit.

[ctchiefsfan]

Nice play by Hali!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need a pick

[Lord-Chiefy]

Hahahaha I called that I just said we need a pic and the very next play we got a pic

[ctchiefsfan]

Fantastic!!!!!!!

[iratefan]

the deep route gave up, but you knew Giants were going for it! huge turn over even though it was an easy pick. lets freaking capitalize with 6!

[matthewschiefs]

PICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a HORRIBLE throw by Eli Thanks ELi

[jason1981]

Im glad eli not on our team. Do you see all his facial expressions. Then win he threw the int he juat stood there whinning and didnt even try and or show an effort to tackle though he was far away from the ball but everytime he throws incomplete pass or bad play he whines.

[Lord-Chiefy]

I've said it once I'll say it again if you pressure Eli he will make stupid

[ctchiefsfan]

JC getting NO running room!

[ctchiefsfan]

SHI*!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

It was ruled incomplete I don't see any evidence that he caught it

[ctchiefsfan]

We're going to lose the ball. That one is not on Alex.

[iratefan]

bowe, you kick the ball up in the air after dropping it? really?

[matthewschiefs]

Damn they got one hell of a bounce

[iratefan]

It was ruled incomplete I don't see any evidence that he caught it

i thought it was ruled incomplete too, but apparently they can overturn their initial field ruling before a review? thats crap anyway you cut it.

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

We're going to lose the ball. That one is not on Alex.

Nope that one just didn't bounce our way

[Lord-Chiefy]

Horrible call

[ctchiefsfan]

Need the D to come up BIG!

[brdempsey69]

Another squandered opportunity. FFS.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Cooper so far is having a fairly safe game

[ctchiefsfan]

GREAT JOB by our defense!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

DMC has gotten a lot slower since he came in the league

[iratefan]

i think this game has been pretty clear so far that we have a soft receiving core and an oline that cant create running lanes. Donnie Avery our savior last game making some drive stopping drops, bowe kicking up the drop for the giants to intercept. Viking beard and charles are the offense's only productivity. maybe with mccluster on occasion.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Smith is taking too long to get those short passes out

[ctchiefsfan]

Need a big 1st down now!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need a TD

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit!!!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Bowe just given up

[jason1981]

Bowe needs to be benched. Hes being lazy. No wonder why he doesnt get alot of balls his way.

[iratefan]

offensive efforts looking miserable on both sides of the ball. but in this close struggle of a battle the giants have all the advantage in the world right now. i dont like this drive at all.

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need a sack

[matthewschiefs]

Nice to see bowe running his route to the end geeze way to quit bowe he's just not a real number 1

[ctchiefsfan]

D playing amazing football in 3rd quarter!

[ctchiefsfan]

Thank you Zebras!

[matthewschiefs]

Bowe needs to be benched. Hes being lazy. No wonder why he doesnt get alot of balls his way.

Agreed at least for a drive there is NO excuse for quiting on a route like he just did

[brdempsey69]

I kind of figured Bowe would not play up to the level of his big payday that he got.
