Not as bad as I thought

**Three7s** · 09-16-2007, 08:09 PM

Yes, the Chiefs lost, yes a lot of us were thinking they'd lose, but I was impressed overall by how we played actually. At first, it looked like it was gonna get ugly. After a turnover the Chiefs do nothing with, the Bears drive down the field for the only offensive TD they get. Then right after that, Hester takes it to the house, as well as add on a FG to make it 17-0. I'm just thinking, how bad is this gonna get? Then, the offense suprises me, marches down the field 4 plays which end up with our first TD of the season, with a nice pass to Bowe.(or was it TG?!) The Bears get a FG after yet another good Hester return to make it 20-7. The Chiefs answer right back with a FG of their own after a Grossman pick.
The Bears go 3 and our after that and the Chiefs are marching down the field. Huard throws a strike to Bowe, which would've been a TD to make it 20-17. However, the referees kill us with an Illegal Shift. I call BS. Who actually calls that nowadays anyways? Anyways, the Bears get the ball back, but Grossman gets picked again. A couple plays later, Huard throws a pretty good pass, can't remember to who, but it's batted away thanks to very good coverage, sadly right at another Bear. They go 3 and out once again and Herm decides to put in Croyle. Croyle was pretty impressive, throwing a 30+ yard bomb which got us into the redzone. However, Bennet fumbled a play later after being greedy for yardage. That, was the game.
Yes, we lost, but we played better than we did last week. The offense showed signs of life, and the defense kept us in the game and caused turnovers. One of our turnovers was unlucky, the other was thanks to the shape the game was in already. The referees took a TD away from us, and even if it was a penalty, I still think it's dumb, I see teams get away with it all the time. Overall, the two reasons we lost were that call by the refs and Hester's impact on the game. However, if we play like this for the rest of the season, we may be better than we think.

He had one foot in bounds (established in the field of play) and caught the ball before his right foot stepped out. I don't see how that is kicking the ball out of bounds

Well that is a nice positive spin. The truth of the matter is that they played just well enough to loose 20-10.

That is all.

Huard held up and played like a man considering his age and the beating he took. He was handing the ball off with his opposite hand because he hurt so bad and didnt want to be taken out . True class if you ask me. I was very impressed with the way Croyle came in and looked calm and collected. Also the bennett fumble was just a case of trying to do too much on one play. He wanted the endzone bad and he just had tough luck. Could have happened to LJ . We went down swinging and im proud of them that they kept fighting when they could have rolled over and gave up. GO CHIEFS !!

So, you'd rather have someone play injured, then go ahead and sit out? I get what you're saying, but do you play a RB or WR with a hurt foot? You shouldn't play a QB knowing his hand is hurt. THat's what you have a backup for. I think Croyle should have come in a bit sooner.

well he did sit out when they found out he couldnt play anymore. He wouldnt let them know he was hurt that bad. The coachs arent stupid.I know your a huge Croyle fan so I will take remarks as such. I just said Huard showed alot of class fighting through his pain . and I also said I was impressed with Croyle also. I dont get the trying to lure me into an argument about something me trying to be a fan and state my happiness with how our team battled it out today.

I wasn't trying to lure you into an argument. I apologize if that's how that came across. I'm just saying why play through pain? Why wouldn't you let someone know? I'm saying I think the effort was valiant, but not necessary. I wasn't speaking as Croyle fan. I just don't think playing injured is the smartest move in this case. It could just make it worse.

They played hard and showed signs of life. They want to win and it is a contact sport. Every guy on the field is hurt to some degree, should they all sit down as soon as they have their first bump of bruise??

Geez. Never mind. Forget I said anything. I am starting to be viewed as nothing but a troublemaker around here.

**YZILLA** · 09-17-2007, 12:12 AM

my bad also, I guess I should have said " Its a man thing " Men dont wanna let someone know they are hurt . Especially when the title starting quarterback is on the line , No offense intended LUV. A man just doesnt want his buddies thinking hes a wuss . Its a pride thing not a intellect thing. Peace LUV !
