He ran hard and made some defenders miss. That is why he is not getting slammed
Yeah, for the first time in a long time, Johnson finally did his job. Maybe he had some more opportunities, maybe it was all him, but he JUST did his job this week.
I am sorry, I cannot read too much into this win though, I am happy we won, but the Redskins played a horrible game this week and we again BARELY beat them. We got a win, but if the same team that played against the Ravens and Cowboys had showed up, it would not have been such a bad game.
How many passes hit receivers right in the hands today that should have been caught? Many more than were over or underthrown. We also still had problems on the offensive line and our defense was not tackling well.
It would good to see DJ in the game though, I hope we continue to see things from him.
That is what i am terribly sick of seeing, like madden always said "If you get your hands on the ball, you gotta catch it?"
I get disgusted with some of our receivers sometimes (every Sunday) after the many, many dropped passes.
But hey we got a win today, and now i dont feel like we are the ******* child of the NFL.
As with any team in the NFL. A runner is only as good as his O line.
LJ is a good RB. just needs some cast to go with him.
He needs competant recieving to loosin up run defenders.
just like recievers need him so the DBs will tighten up.
LJ is gettn a bad rap. LJ is playin the cards the best he can.
Dont believe me. Then lets see what Charles, Smith or whoever can do. Oh wait, we already did.
My issue is do we keep him next year. He's turning 30 next month and by the time that O line gets it's act together and we start posting winning seasons he'll be 32 or 33 depending on how quick that happens. He did well today. But, 83 yards against a suspect defense isn't anything to celebrate. Still no TD's either. I would have much rather dumped him and kept Gonzalez. My guess is the Chiefs will keep him until it is no longer profitable to do so based on his ridiculous contract. Hopefully LJ does decent down the stretch and we can finally trade him. I'd like to see the other young guys playing more. We have nothing to lose by playing them. I don't think we can gauge a RB by playing him a few times in a game here and there. Let's start some of these dudes and see what they can do.
The Redskins have the 5th ranked defense. But look at who they have played- Giants(good team), Rams, Lions, Buccaneers and Panthers. 4 of the 5 teams aren't very good. Those 4 offenses are all ranked in the 20's in total offense. The Redskins are ranked 22nd in run defense.
LJ had a good game because they finally ran him outside the tackles. When they ran him up the gut, it was the same old thing. It's not his fault that the OL isn't blocking that well.
Overall, I thought he had a good game and gave a good effort. I am still annoyed by all of the run up the gut play calling when the game is on the line.
Well I just think LJ is absolutely worthless and should be run out of town on a rail!!!! :p :D j/k
WHAT?!?!?!!? Where are all you Miles Austin haters who are supposed to come on this thread and say......
"Big deal! LJ had one good game. It doesn't mean anything"
LOL.... Some of you make me laugh.
i find it funny that LJ had a 3.6 ypc and is getting no flak but against the raiders he had a 3.3 and everyone wanted him ran out of town, difference is we won today. i just get sick as hell of all those out there that ride him so damn hard all the time and blame almost everything on him when we lose then come back and say he had a good game when in all reality he had a mediocre game but we just happened to win. LJ is a good back, he got some holes today and exploited them. Is he what he could be, not at all, but it is not all his fault either. It shows that when we gets blocking he can still be dominate and DOES have that open field speed that everyone thought had been lost. Hopefully we will continue to see improvements in line and play calling and LJ will win us games instead of getting taken out of his game due to being behind and becoming a very porous offense.
EXACTLY!
Some of these guys are so quick to jump up and point the finger at someone else to blame the Chiefs if they lose and get really down and frustrated about it. So how the hell do you think the players are acting?
For some "die hard fans", a lot of you sure as hell don't act like it. You spend more time talking crap about the Chiefs than "supporting" them.
Thank god we have you guys here to set us all straight. 83 yards...all our problems are solved. LJ tried earning his paycheck yesterday. Woo Hoo!! Some of us point out that LJ is part of the problem with this team and we have you two jumping down everyones throat. How come you dont defend anyone else this much? Someone said Haley and Pioli suck....where were you to defend them? How about our defense...you are OK with people talking about them. Get over yourselves, LJ gets paid to take criticism when he is not performing. Its the world of professional sports. But its good that you guys are here to say "I told ya so" like a couple of 8 year olds. :sign0098: 83 yards. whopee
Sometimes when LJ gets the ball I like to make a sandwich or order a pizza. Usually around the time I'm done he's finally at the line of scrimmage. :)
In all seriousness though, it's nice to see him have a decent game but I'm still waiting for him to have an efficient one with over 4 YPC and a touchdown. He does seem to have a lot more success on runs outside of the tackles which isn't surprising since Waters, Niswanger, and Goff are all terrible.
Oh took you long enough to get here...... And for the record, I do defend Pioli, Haley, and some of the issues on defense.
And whats funny is you call yourself a Chiefs fan but I can't remember reading a single post from you that has said something positive about the Chiefs. You sure you're not a Raiders fan?
Yeah, thats right. Im not a fan. Good response. Do you say that to everyone who does not agree with you? That has always been the big knock on me...Im not positive enough!! :lol:
...and what do you mean by took me long enough? Sorry I wasnt hovering over the comuter to wait for you to once again profess your man love for LJ while bashing anyone who does not like him. :sign0098:
You are the classiest Chiefs fan I have ever met!! :bananen_smilies046:
Or maybe you're jealous of LJ cuz you saw him at the club, hit on him, he rejected you, and then spit on you. :lol:
And you're the most annoying Chiefs fan I've ever met. :bananen_smilies046: You're worse than all the bandwagon Charger fans in San Diego. They talk trash when they lose, but when they win, they're the greatest team ever. You on the other hand, when we win you talk trash, and when they lose they talk trash. Hey, at least you're consistant. :lol:
Nope not at all; I'm probably king of the post whores here. Just merely pointing out that anyone who calls into question Canada's fandom, obviously, hasn't been here long enough to know Canada. It amazes me that someone with an opinion about a Chiefs player that differs from yours must be a closet Raiders fan.
Funny...one guy does not like me because I am always negative and one guy (Drnkhillbilly) does not like me cause I am too much of a Homer. Sorry for disagreeing with you. Sorry if it seems like I have been down on this team for a while. They have only won 7 games since 2007. Almost seems like there is a reason tobe down on them. But hey...I don't like LJ as much as you so I must be a raider fan.
BTW Who else is it that I have been bashing?
...Again stems from the fact that you, obviously, haven't been here long and haven't read the thousands of positive posts Canada has made. The fact of the matter is that when a team wins three out of their last thirty games there hasn't been a whole lot to be positive about; doesn't mean Canada isn't a fan.
Of course, being a member since Nov. 2008 would suggest that you've been here long enough but just haven't been reading.
This message is hidden because Canada is on your ignore list.
:lol:
He left me negative rep and called me a douche bag. Get a life buddy.
Are one of the moderators going to take action on him now for attacking me? :lol:
Just as HE has said before, I don't care about the past. I have been a Chiefs fan since I knew what football was, over 25 years. I seperate having hope and reality. But I don't sit there and talk a bunch of crap about the Chiefs. Living pretty much my whole life in SD, I've always had these Charger fans/friends giving me a hard time. Oh well, I don't let it get to me no matter how bad the team is doing. Yes this team has a lot of improvements to be made, but the Chiefs went through a screwed up Herm time period and now they are starting back from square one. DEAL WITH IT. If you don't like it, go cheer for another team. EVERY team is going to have its good seasons and bad. Some more than others.
