In no particular order of importance:
1- Starring Peyton Manning as Col. Custer, and the Chiefs as the Sioux. The Peyton Manning curse on the Chiefs is over. Very satisfying win. It's not like we have never beaten the Donks in Pile high. It's just that this one was against Manning. When the legendary QB lied down on the turf upon seeing yet another rush, it's clear that we lived in his head. When you realize the legendary QB had 4 picks against 5 completions, you know he is owned. And when said legendary QB is yanked from the game in the 3rd quarter due to no injury you know he is as good as gone. I have never disliked the guy as a person. He is a rather likable dude, but i have hated him as a Donk. GOOD RIDDANCE!
2- This was the statement game against Peyton that the Chiefs had planned in week 2. When that game went south, mostly due to our own screw ups and the absence of one Sean Smith it got into the players head and for all practical purposes ruined our season. Good to get a measure of satisfaction back by finally having our "statement game" against them. Sadly we did lose a shut out against the Donks, but, think about it, we shut out the Peyton-led Donks.
3- Did I hear somebody say "Statement Game?" Statement games end in one side scoring 40+ points while holding the victim to zero or single digit. This had the feel of a statement game but we still sputtered on offense when it came to finishing drives. Five fairly long field goals out of 6 testifies to the fact that we still don't have an offense that's worthy of playoff games. We were crisp in the first drive and a half. Then we bogged down and accepted field goals. That's not very comforting. How many times did we get the ball around midfield and wasted it? In the middle of the 3rd period the pattern was clearly no yards or only 1 on the first down followed by a try up the clogged middle for another zero or 1 yard. with the exception of the 80 yard pass/play score to West, it's hard to remember any consistency in our offense. In fact, late in the 3rd quarter on, Alex was reverting to the nervous bad passes or throwing the ball away with no creativity. That's not a good sign. With our D getting a bit tired in the thin Denver weather, back up Assweider drives their team, garbage time notwithstanding, to two TDs. That's one more real TD drive than we had. No sir, our O is still lacking.
4- Expanding on a theme in #3 this disturbing thought gnaws at me: What would happen if Peyton was yanked earlier and replaced by Asswider? Would the game be dangerously close then? We did not have a brilliant 2nd half, you know.
5- I did not bother focusing on Fisher and the rest of the Oline. I'm satisfied we have one now, although I might have to reconsider that notion due to #3.
6- This was by no means a clean game. We still shot ourselves in the foot with unnecessary penalties. The worst of them was when Alex scrambled for 16 yards on 3rd and 8 and Ja Reid decided that it was a great time to dive full body force onto Von Miller whom he had already pushed to the ground. FREAKING STUPID!!!
7- THIS D CAME TO PLAY! They came to punish, and they accomplished that. Kudos to the entire D. I would like to single out 22 Marcus Peters for his ball hawk attitude and for frustrating Demaryius Thomas, one of the best WRs in the game. Also worth mentioning is the importance of Sean Smith on the field which closed the big hole that Peyton abused in week 2.
8- I do not wish for injury to people but if they have to happen I have 3 candidates among NFL players that I get a little spark of satisfaction when something happens to them. Ben rapistberger, Phylis Rivers, and last but not least, Emanuel Sanders. My personal hatred of Sanders is for the cheap way he treated KC by doing a handshake only to sneak over to the Donks and sign with them. So I admit, there was some of that spark of satisfaction when we knocked him out of the game.
9- I'm not a big fan of our all white road uniforms. But the red sox made a hell of a difference. They broke up the boring generic white and provided were a nice compliment to the red helmets at the top. I can definitely live with that as a good alternative to the red road pants. We have good looking unis. One of the classic best in the NFL.
10- Next week on to the insides of Phylis Rivers head. We have shown in the past we can get into his noggin. GO CHIEFS!
