Thoughts on the game Chiefs 45 Redskins 10

[brdempsey69]

The GOOD:

Just about everything. Offense, Defense, and Special teams all pitched in and the sum of these 3 parts equaled the Chiefs best overall performance of the year.

The mental toughness displayed by the Chiefs team to ignore the elements & go out and play football and this cannot be understated. Especially, Alex Smith, as he had nowhere near the struggles with the inclement weather that RGIII did. Alex played as though it was perfect weather & I'm betting money that if Manning and the Donkeys have to play in snowy weather, they won't be able to hack it.

Knile Davis getting his 1st rushing TD on a brilliant piece of running. Many considered the selection of Davis to be a draft day whiff, but it might be a Home Run in the not-too-distant future.

O-Line play was good and Stephenson & Fisher both did a good job against Orakpo and Kerrigan. No sacks given up or any penalties committed by either and the future looks promising with these two young athletic Tackles. Granted, there might be struggles in upcoming games, but to me, both are worth taking the time to develop and let them go through the growing pains to get valuable experience.

After a month long dry spell, the opposing QB was once again having to deal with fierce pressure & went down 6 times. Granted, the Skins O-Line isn't that good, but ask yourself an honest question -- is the Donkeys O-Line really THAT much better or do they simply get away with holding a lot more often just for Manning's sake?

Kick returns. The Chiefs just ripped the Skin's guts out in this area. No two ways about it.

Defense pitched a 2nd half shutout.

The BAD:

Chase Daniel. I predict in 2014, he won't be the #2 QB. Bray should pass him by.

The UGLY:

Not much outside of Daniel and Cooper getting the wind knocked out of him.

================================================== ===================

BTW, Fasano may be getting back on the field next week and Reid said Houston is progressing with his injury.

To me the 2nd half shutout is the biggest thing. This defense had been picked apart for the past 3 weeks. They needed a pick me up game. It would have been easy for them to lose some focus in a game like that and give up a td or two in a blow out. But they didn't and that was great to see.

[Chiefster]

It was great getting the win in grand fashion, I hate playing these types of games against teams with nothing to lose. We have to stay focused though because despite their record I expect a tougher game next week in Oakland who, also, has nothing to lose.

[ctchiefsfan]

THRILLING WIN!!!!! The whole damned team came together. Defense played like Stonewall Jackson. Offense looked like a hot knife through butter. Special teams...2 TDs....what more can I say?

Yeah, I know....the scumskins SUCK....but we flat out BRUTALIZED them.......and that is what really good teams do to bad teams.....they BRUTALIZE then. Shades of Ned Beatty and "Deliverance". SQUEEL!!!! SQUEEL LIKE A PIG!!!!

Win again and we just might get to visit the double-damned donkeys again. They KNOW they can't beat us again this year. NOT A CHANCE!!!!

[brdempsey69]

I forgot to mention. Charles looked liked the Charles of old. He's healthy now, as opposed to playing the first several games with severe blisters on his feet. 19 carries, 151 yards are certainly Charles-like numbers. And a pair of TD's, one rushing and one receiving.

And we aren't talking about dropped passes regarding today's game. They would have had a legit excuse today because of the weather, but it was kept to a minimum.

[ctchiefsfan]

We BRUTALIZED the scumskins. We're going to do the same to the raiders and the colts. 13-3 baby!!!!! Hope forehead is enjoying the run that the CHIEFS are going to end. Zebras won't be able to save him. His third game against the Chiefs this year will be the last football game he ever plays. DEAD DONKEY!!!!!!

not gonna brag (oh yes I am) been saying DeVito was more to this defense and to TAMBA Hali than everyone gave home credit for. He comes back after 3 WEEKS injury and the defense comes alive again with QB pressure all day! A healthy Tyson Jackson helped hugely as well. The chiefs defense got injured which could be a good thing long term. It forced the offense to step up and compete and now we have a more balanced team because of it. If the media doesn't see that the chiefs are a team that shouldn't be taken lightly they are dead wrong!

[jap1]

One huge positive I saw on the stat sheet was Knile Davis getting involved. Reid is trusting him again to get the ball, that can only help his confidence, which hopefully will make him even better (hopefully he won't get ****y with the ball). It definitely won't hurt to have him be mixed in to keep Charles rested right before the playoffs. Teams will not be able to guess the play when Davis is out.

Cannot wait until Houston gets back. I kinda hope we save him for the Colts, and show what our defense can do against them.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

When was the last time we blew out a team to the effect that the game was over by HT ? I can't remember off the top of my head but it's been a while.

it was so great to see the whole team performing well and it goes to show what can happen when everything comes together. Alex Smith continues to prove me wrong, I initially thought he was not the answer long term but if he carries on playing like he is then that opinion could change. The receivers where actually holding on to the ball which was impressive considering the conditions. They just need to be more consistent in that regard.

We shouldn't get too carried away because of the poor opposition but it's still nice to win by a big margin.

[kcvet]

poor poor little RG. in the post game show that's all they talked about.

[ctchiefsfan]

Damned right poor RG III !!!! Stupid announcers should have been saying it BEFORE the game. He was facing the CHIEFS and was DOOMED before the first snap!!!

I know what was going through his head before the game.....He was thinking...."OH MAN! This is gonna be bad...real bad!"

Thoughts?

All good points. Definitely the most fun I've had watching Chiefs games this year. The beauty of it was we as fans knew the Chiefs needed to go into DC and take care of business, and they DID. We just walked into DC and flattened a team with a talented roster & coach. Offense, Defense & Special Teams made HUGE plays.

Two names I'd like to bring up - Quintin Demps and Mike DeVito. These guys do nothing but make plays or give everyone else around them a chance to make a play. I'm surprised people/media aren't talking about them a lot more. Demps has been solid from word go. Having DeVito back is giving our D line it's swagger back. Have been watching the Time Warner Red Zone show, there is one play where it shows DeVito being doubled teamed and their O-line STILL getting pushed back.

Knile Davis was awesome. When they rotated him in, the running game didn't lose a step. Chef McCluster did his thing & served up more crow. Alex Smith is one of the few QB's I've seen that has 137 yards passing stats with 2 td's. JC is amazing. No matter how much the passing game improves, JC always steps his game up and makes the running game that much better. Once the drops were cut down, look at the effects it's had on both the running game as well as the passing game.

Would have to agree about Chase Daniel. His throws were erratic and all over the place. If he's #2, he has GOT to be more prepared than that to run this offense. Cooper I'd give a hall pass to - He played decent throughout the game, and when he did get hurt on that play, he was going for the ball, not trying to hold onto the reciever.

My final thought is that this is why if given the chance...NAIL THE COFFIN DOOR SHUT. When we went up 10-0, you could still see hope in the eyes of the redskins. When we went up 17, you could see some hope - "Hey two TD's and we're back in this thing.." but when we went up 24, their day was done. When they did score it was more out of frustration than a serious attempt to comeback. We still have Oakland, Indy and SD coming up. If we get up on these teams we can't go flat and call ten points enough.

[kcvet]

the dead skins were just target practice

[ctchiefsfan]

I've been trying (not very successfully) to not get TOO excited about this win. It was after all the lowly 3-10 scumskins. But you know, we have played a few pretty crappy teams this year and we have barely been able to squeek out the wins. Every game we have won before this one was because one part of our team just came through big time....mostly the defense. But in this win all three aspects of our team brought their "A-game". Special teams were phenomenal. The Defense built the Berlin Wall and dared the scumskins to try to get past it. Our Offense was SOLID! Even our receivers forgot (almost) how to drop passes. And we flat out bulldozed these guys.

If we can get to the playoffs and play like we did yesterday I don't think there is a team out there that can beat us.

Perhaps most impressive are Reid and Dorsey. This team is not all that different personel-wise than last year. Yet it is a totally different team. There are some new pieces certainly, but a lot of the pieces are the same. But they are playing SO MUCH BETTER. For that I think the thanks need to go to Reid and Dorsey every bit as much as it does to the players.

Thank you Clark Hunt for not letting Reid get away.

[Frankenchief]

The BAD:

Chase Daniel. I predict in 2014, he won't be the #2 QB. Bray should pass him by.

Chase Daniel might be the only QB in the league who can't complete a pass to Junior Hemingway, as evident yesterday.

[Frankenchief]

One huge positive I saw on the stat sheet was Knile Davis getting involved.
Cyrus Grey too. He is quietly a pretty reliable backup.

[brdempsey69]

I personally thought going in that the Chiefs were the better team than the Skins, but I also thought the weather might equalize things and make it anybody's ball game. The problem for the Redskins was they got too far behind, too fast, and it took them out of their running game and left them with having to throw the ball in inclement weather and they just couldn't do it.

Alex Smith, on the other hand, was completely unfazed by the elements. There were not spectacular throws, but effective ones that helped moved the ball & put points on the scoreboard that helped the Chiefs seize an early foothold and they never looked back.

[Frankenchief]

When was the last time we blew out a team to the effect that the game was over by HT ?
doesn't it make you wish Bray was not inactive?

[ctchiefsfan]

Chase Daniel might be the only QB in the league who can't complete a pass to Junior Hemingway, as evident yesterday.

Got that right! I'm really hoping Tyler Bray has been getting some serious work this year. I have high hopes for him.

[Frankenchief]

Even our receivers forgot (almost) how to drop passes.
Nice! LOL

Exactly so! The weather not shutting Alex Smith down was CRUCIAL in this game. If the weather had taken the pass away from us early on we would have been in trouble. But despite the weather Alex Smith was able to complete passes and as a result when JC got the ball he was able to gobble up yardage. That was a big part of this win!

RG III couldn't handle the weather. Alex Smith did and the result was a blowout.

[ctchiefsfan]

doesn't it make you wish Bray was not inactive?

Yup. Would have been nice to give Bray some reps in a game. But Alex has a good number of years left in him and has mostly been pretty durable. I love it when Alex takes off with the ball, but my heart is in my throat every time he does. We are every bit as vulnerable as the donkeys if we lose Alex. I think we can afford to bring Bray up slowly. Hoping Bray will be the number 2 QB next year.

[doobs_05]

The Good:
We won and looked good

The Bad:
We did it against the Redskins...........

Does make you wonder how Manning will fare if he has to play in the same conditions the Chiefs did yesterday. We know he didn't fare too well in NE and if I'm not mistaken, there was no moisture to deal with in that game.

I hope in the Donkeys first post-season game that they have play in those same elements that the Chiefs played in yesterday. Watch what happens.

[kcvet]

Elway spent all that money and forget to dome the stadium to keep ASSet warm. tsk tsk

If we win our first round playoff game and wind up going against the donkeys in the playoffs, we will CRUSH them. This team simply won't let that damned forehead beat them 3 times in one season.

If you think that's been fun, wait until Manning's popularity in Denver swells up past Elway's, and Elway finds himself trying to defend his merchandise sales and position as "President" of the Broncos when Manning decides that he needs a bigger role in the organization.

[ctchiefsfan]

Ain't going to happen. manning's career is going to come to a quick and brutish end.....SOON! And the Chiefs are going have his forehead stuffed and hung from the rafters in Arrowhead! Gonna be one VERY DEAD dONKEY!!!

I've always thought that Manning, along with a slew of others, was a better QB than Elway ever was. It's too bad that Manning didn't land with SF or somebody else other than Denver or just simply stay with the Colts and finish his career there while grooming Andrew Luck for a couple of years behind him ( even though Luck has shown that can play right away ).

But of course, Donkey fans will tell you that Elway & Manning rank 1 and 2 as the greatest QB's of all time. They don't. Number 1 belongs to Joe Montana.

[kcvet]

when Manning's gone we'll shake hands with the donks on their way to the sellar

[brdempsey69]

when Manning's gone we'll shake hands with the donks on their way to the cellar

Right on. Watch what happens to the Donkeys when he's gone and they are forced to play on a level playing field. They won't be any better than a .500 team, if even that. Their clock is ticking down.

[ctchiefsfan]

when Manning's gone we'll shake hands with the donks on their way to the sellar

Nope! Our Chiefs will stuff them into the cellar and lock the damned door!

[kcvet]

the key, don't forget to throw away the key

[ctchiefsfan]

Thanks for the reminder. Memory isn't what it used to be. Stuff them in the cellar, lock the door then drop the key out the door of a plane over the Pacific Ocean!

[brdempsey69]

He comes back after 3 WEEKS injury and the defense comes alive again with QB pressure all day! A healthy Tyson Jackson helped hugely as well.

If the media doesn't see that the chiefs are a team that shouldn't be taken lightly they are dead wrong!

DeVito's value was no doubt underestimated by a lot of us, until he wasn't there. Opponents really have a tough time moving him off the LOS and DeVito more often than not will defeat single blockers. We all know now the value of the starting three of DeVito, Jackson, and Poe.

And yes, it's good to see the Offense making strides and improving. Jamaal is healthy, the O-Line is better than any we've seen since Roaf and Shields retired and they have depth. The TE position is serviceable as long as Fasano and McGrath stay healthy. The WR group just simply needs to be more consistent about getting open and hanging on to the football. Overall, the Chiefs do have a capable Offense and it's just a matter of execution.

[Frankenchief]

Did Jerrel Powe play? If so how did he do?

[brdempsey69]

Did Jerrel Powe play? If so how did he do?

I don't know. The NFL Game Rewind upload got corrupted and garbled in the 2nd half of the game, so I haven't got to see the entire second half.

[Frankenchief]

I watched the whole game, but I forgot to look for him. I so want him to pan out long term for us.

[brdempsey69]

I listened to the live audio broadcast of the game & you can rest assured that Mitch and Lenny were enjoying the barrage of Chiefs points that were going up on that scoreboard. I think they were just as surprised as many of were, considering the elements, but just as delighted.

I did see the empty stadium starting at the beginning of the 2nd half & I don't believe I've ever seen the Skins stadium that empty in over 4 decades.

Manning made it pretty clear from word go he wasn't going to groom anyone, let alone Andrew Luck, which was really sad, considering that was the place that gave him his shot, just like Luck is hoping to get.

If you put together Manning's and Elway's SB rings together, they still wouldn't have as many as Montana.

At my house, I turn the MUTE button on the TV and listen to Mitch and Lenny's broadcast on 101.1 FX...At one point you could hear Chiefs fans singing the Tomahawk song over other stuff going on at the sidelines.

Manning's SB ring is the only one that really counts as being legit. Neither Elway or Manning would beat Montana head to head in a SB and we saw Montana rip Elway's guts out in the one SB where they did go head to head.

I watched the entire careers of both Montana and Elway, except for the '79 and '80 seasons for Montana when I was in the military. It is totally ludicrous for anyone to make the claim that Elway was in Montana's class & those that do, don't have a clue about what they are talking about. Dallas HOF DB Mel Renfro has gone on record as saying that he would take Montana as his QB if he were building a football team and Renfro played many years with Roger Staubach ( who was also better than Elway ), so that is saying something.

I just shows you how Elway being given those two SB's has pulled the wool over the eyes of many. The blind leading the blind, cut and dried.

[brdempsey69]

Off to Oakland next week and it won't be friendly territory, for sure. Perhaps the Chiefs will play well enough to have Raider fans empty their stadium by halftime the same way we saw Skins fans empty FedEx field by halftime yesterday.

The Chiefs really need this game, just like they did yesterday.

I knew the chiefs were coming out swinging for the fence after those 3 losses. Does anyone know if Avery started this game or not? I didn't get to watch any of this game I didn't pay my bill and my t v service is turned off right now :(

Absolutely! We very much need to close the season out STRONG so that we go into the playoffs riding high. And that starts out with clinching a playoff berth against the hated raiders on Sunday in oakland.

wonder what they'll throw at us ???

[Eydugstr]

Did Jerrel Powe play? If so how did he do?

If I remember right, he did come in to relieve Poe a few times in the second half. By that point it didn't matter, RGIII and Cousins had pretty much given up on the game, and their play reflected it.

If the Chiefs players get 9-volt batteries thrown at them, then I hope they pick them up and throw them back at the Raiders fans.

[brdempsey69]

One thing that I noticed. Thus far in 12 games the Chiefs Offense has put the ball in end zone 30 times -- 12 rushing and 18 passing. Add the 10 return TD's and you have a total of 40 for the season. That's a far cry from the season total of 20 scored in 2011 and the season total of 18 in 2012.

Think about that. Alex has thrown 18 TD's in 12 games thus far and nearly matched the teams total TD output of 2011 and equaled the total TD output of 2012. The cost of trading for Alex did appear steep on the surface at first, but when you consider those stats, plus more importantly the number of victories, then you start to wonder if the cost was really as steep as it first appeared.

[kcvet]

I remember years back our players taunting the Raider fans as well. what sticks out in my mind was Niel Smith coming off the field. stuck his thumbs in the helmut earholes and waving his hands back and fourth. man did they throw the crap at him LMAO

Absolutely. Some interesting numbers from Alex.....

275 completions in 13 games. More than he has had in any other ENTIRE SEASON.

Average 221 yards passing per game. His best ever.

18 TD passes. Tied for his best season ever (2009).

2873 yards passing. 271 less than his best ever (2011) And that was for a full 16 games. So all he needs is an average of 90.34 yards passing per game through the rest of the season to surpass his previous best.

Alex is having a very good year.

I remember that. Neil was being quite provocative to say the least.

I think you get the flag for that today

One thing that I noticed. Thus far in 12 games the Chiefs Offense has put the ball in end zone 30 times -- 12 rushing and 18 passing. Add the 10 return TD's and you have a total of 40 for the season. That's a far cry from the season total of 20 scored in 2011 and the season total of 18 in 2012.

Think about that. Alex has thrown 18 TD's in 12 games thus far and nearly matched the teams total TD output of 2011 and equaled the total TD output of 2012. The cost of trading for Alex did appear steep on the surface at first, but when you consider those stats, plus more importantly the number of victories, then you start to wonder if the cost was really as steep as it first appeared.

Other than checking down or basically throwing a ball away, he is a pretty accurate passer. He has had numerous dropped balls that hit the recievers square in the chest. I can really think of two passes this year that were just really bad bad passes. Last week against Denver was one.

No matter how you slice it, 2 2cond round picks is a lot to pay. But often times in a trade a team pays a lot and winds up not getting much production from what they traded for. Certainly can't say that about Alex Smith.

Just can't wait to be able to see how Tyler Bray is coming along. We got him Fo Freeeeeeee!

[matthewschiefs]

Absolutely. Some interesting numbers from Alex.....

275 completions in 13 games. More than he has had in any other ENTIRE SEASON.

Average 221 yards passing per game. His best ever.

18 TD passes. Tied for his best season ever (2009).

2873 yards passing. 271 less than his best ever (2011) And that was for a full 16 games. So all he needs is an average of 90.34 yards passing per game through the rest of the season to surpass his previous best.

He has also already passed his season high for rushing yards. In fact for total yards he is only 83 away from catching that. Some people still think that Alex is holding this offense back. I think if they just get a top level WR this offense can be up there with the best in the league

[Frankenchief]

Bowe is a bad man when he's focused. That TD catch last Sunday was bad ***. He needs to keep focused. And yes, we need another top level WR. And for Pete's sake keep giving Junior more targets.

I remember years back our players taunting the Raider fans as well. what sticks out in my mind was Niel Smith coming off the field. stuck his thumbs in the helmut earholes and waving his hands back and fourth. man did they throw the crap at him LMAO

That was a good one...I have two favorite Raiders game sideline moments...

During the '95 season, when we had Art Shell and Marcus Allen, both of them were dressed head to toe in Chiefs gear, looking up and waving toward Al Davis' suite...Al Davis just mouthing and going off !!

The other time was much later when Gunther Cunningham was the head coach. Went into Oakland and won, and of course Raiders fans were just livid and throwing stuff at the players as they exited the field. Finally Gunther was walking off, and they began yelling at him...Gunther yelling back "Yeah, Whatever. Who won the game ?!?"

Andy Reid knew what he was doing when he went after Smith. Granted two second round picks is steep...but after going from 2-14 to a 9-0 start, 10-3 current record and talking about the playoffs...The thing that really surprised me about Alex was his ability to scramble. Just a straight north/south runner, and very fast. There was one run he made during the Cleveland game were he was clearly pulling away from the Cleveland LB's.

But that does not give people the right to throw things at him, stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

A Sonic Drive-in in Belton, Missouri, a town just outside of Kansas City, caused some controversy on Sunday when they put up a sign that read, “‘KC CHIEFS’ WILL SCALP THE REDSKINS FEED THEM WHISKEY SEND – 2 – RESERVATION.”

The sign has since been taken down, and Sonic has apologized for the employee who made it. Sonic’s Vice President of Public Relations, Patrick Lenow, shared the following statement with NBC News:

“The remarks posted on this message board were wrong, offensive and unacceptable. In a misguided effort to support his football team an independent franchise owner allowed passion to override good judgment. The owner has reinforced with his employees the boundaries of what is acceptable and unacceptable. On behalf of the franchise owner and our entire brand we apologize for the offensive remarks.”

Following is a look at the sign Lenow apologized for on Sunday.

its considered racist. bother you?? not me :lol:

[ctchiefsfan]

OH GOOD GRIEF!!!! It's idiotic how far "political correctness" is being carried these days.

[doobs_05]

Wonder if they had a "KC Chiefs" will shoot the browns feed them crack and send -2- hood

Nah.....That's what we do to raiders.

[ctchiefsfan]

Just can't wait to be able to see how Tyler Bray is coming along. We got him Fo Freeeeeeee!

I feel pretty much the same. Hoping Bray develops, becomes the backup to Alex Smith and then steps right in when Alex Smith retires. If that happens we will have in effect paid 2 2cond round picks for 2 upper tier starting quarterbacks. That would be a BARGAIN!

[Frankenchief]

I think they tried for Nick Foles first.

[brdempsey69]

I stand corrected about the stats I posted earlier, it's 13 games, not 12...............duh !! But still the point of the analysis still stands.

And the Chiefs being 10-3 is better than any of us expected. I remember all the gloom and doom talk about not drafting a QB and taking Eric Fisher before the season started. It worked itself out. Fisher is not an All-Pro.....yet. But I still think he was the right pick.

[ctchiefsfan]

I can't argue with the Fisher pick either. I think he has done a pretty good job. Sure...he's been beaten a time or three but he's gotten better every week. Reid says he works hard. I think we will wind up being quite happy with him.

[Chiefster]

If the Chiefs players get 9-volt batteries thrown at them, then I hope they pick them up and throw them back at the Raiders fans.

We'll need to keep our helmets on.

[brdempsey69]

We'll need to keep our helmets on.

They will, I would hope.

I've already got time off approved from work on Wildcard weekend, the 1st weekend of January, because I believe the Chiwfs are going to be playing in one of those games. A victory in Oakland this weekend ensures it.

[ctchiefsfan]

That one is not to be missed! And we actually don't even have to win this week to clinch our playoff spot. If the fish lose to the splats in their 1:00 pm game in Miami Sunday, then we would have clinched a Wildcard spot before the kickoff in oakland. And of course, we are still very much in the AFC West Championship hunt thanks to the dolts! The donkeys still have to face the raiders in oakland in week 17. Those damned raider LOVE being spoilers. If we were to win out, then I'd say we had a 50-50 shot of winning the West.

[Chiefster]

They will, I would hope.

Yup! One more win earns our spot in the post season. :D
