    Default Game 10 thoughts/rant about the WR core

    The good
    The chiefs didn't get blown out like many thought

    Alex Smith played well overall

    The defense made a number of stops held manning to 1 passing td

    The bad

    Our WR core It sucks. You can call me negitive but I'm just calling it like I see it. This is not a one night bad night thing. This has been something that has happened all year long. It was what largely cost the Chiefs the ball game. They couldn't get open. And to me something that I'm starting to see more and more of with them if they don't get open right away they just stop and start watching Alex. That's not going to get the job done. Quiting on the play is just not going to work. If this WR core can't get their together this team isn't going to head anywhere. Again you can call me negitive all you want but that's just how I fell about the WRS on this team right now. They just are NOT getting the job done. People will bash Alex but he CAN NOT catch the ball for these guys. That's not his job. Alex misses some throws yes every QB does just like every team has drops but this team has way to many drops and it's costing the offense like they did tonight. I'm growing tired of this. This team is so close to being able to compete for a title but the WRS are slacking off on the job and they don't seem to care.

    In the spirit of Game 10 rants:

    What the hell was up with sending Jamaal up the middle three times when we had a first and goal on their 2? If they didn't want to risk a pass, HOW ABOUT A DAMN BOOTLEG? Alex is mobile enough to pull that off! I was screaming at the screen for an Smith off the edge run.

    BINGO !! And I'll add to that, not one spread formation which has been successful in earlier games this season down in the red zone. The play-calling last night was horrible. It wasn't Donkeys defensive brilliance that stopped the Chiefs Offense last night by any stretch of the imagination -- it was Chiefs Offensive ineptitude. The Donkeys camp should have serious concerns about their crummy Defense, but they're singing praises in happy celebration about their Defense, but it's only a matter of time that reality is going to smack them right in the face & I predict it'll happen in the post-season and the Donkeys won't be winning any SB.

    What if, Sherman didn't fumble. What if Avery caught his long pass. What if Bowe caught half of the ones he let hit the ground. What if Demps actually picked that one ball off and went for 6?

    Look as much as the media said this team was soft with their cupcake schedule. This team was a couple of plays or inches from making a completely different game. The team and fans were humbled. They have now lost, and are not the kings. They now know they have to work on some things and know they are not invicible. They can refocus and exploit the things that worked, and work on the issues that Denver Exploited. Next time it will be at our house, with our fans. Next time, we will be more motivated and prepared.

    Except next time is this week against San Diego and we need to work on beating them first.

    AFTER SLEEPING OFF MY DISGUST...I will say I was very happy and surprised how well smith threw the ball especially the long ball. Our recievers just are piss poor!!! We havent pressured a qb in 5 frikin games!!! they act like people are gonna fold for them!!
    The punt on the 40 with 5min left down two scores was once of the worse calls ive ever seen made!!! not getting in the end zone on 1st and goal from the 2???? so many bad calls and no calls.. most everything really pist me off about the game!!! that no hold call on Bowe was the frikin icing on the cake!! then we punt?? we had kicked all but one punt into the end zone so you were only losing 20 yds if we didnt make 4th and 5!!!!!!!!!!!!! this game was absolutely winnable!!!!!!!!!!! thats what pisses me off the most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ^^ Absolutely, it was a winnable game and the Chiefs clearly did more to beat themselves in this game than what the Donks did to beat them.

    Dropped passes were the reason why the Chiefs didn't win this ball game. Those recievers need to be doing pass catching drills until they pass out or puke. Bowe especially has NO excuse. I see improvement and changes (our routes have been much more aggressive the past two games) but the bottom line is it's all for nothing if you can't catch the )(&%$'n ball.

    The first Denver game is DONE. On to the Chargers.

    I would have called an Alex Smith bootleg on the second and goal. Even if unsuccessful, it would have softened the middle for the 3rd down and goal. THAT drive really should have ended in a TD and I blame the play calling at the end of it for the failure.

    Right on. All I've been hearing is how great Denver's defense is with Von Miller's return. Miller didn't do squat last night & the Chiefs blocked him very well. It was poor play-calling, poor execution, penalties at critical times, and especially dropped passes that stopped the Chiefs Offense, not Denver's defense. The media has been talking this dumb trash, saying "the outcome was never in doubt", but that's pure BS. It was 17-10 throughout most of the 3rd QTR and the Chiefs Offense had multiple chances to move down the field & tighten the score, but they kept shooting themselves in the foot by failing to do basic things. The penalty by Avery was just totally retarded & that was a pivotal play that the media doesn't point out.

    As for SD, their Offense has been struggling as late. I believe the Chiefs Defense can hold them in check. The big question is can the Chiefs Offense learn to quit stopping themselves & start doing things that they need to to move the ball and score more points?

    I'm with you there. The play calling was retarded at the end of that series & if they were going to run it at Denver like that, then why not give the 230-lb Knile Davis at least one crack at it? After all, Davis had touched the ball on two previous plays and had gotten them that 1st and goal. That's not arm-chair QBing, that's just common sense. Charles is a speed back, as is Davis, but Davis has a bit more power and that might have made a difference.

So however this season winds up, at least we did see improvement over last year -- more so than what was anticipated -- and it may have over-jacked peoples expectations. Everybody needs to come back to reality & face the fact that the Chiefs Offense isn't playoff caliber. I don't buy the cliche "Defense wins championships". You have to have both Offense and Defense.

    Donkeys fans may be in happy celebration & are singing praises about their Defense stopping the Chiefs Offense, but it wasn't defensive brilliance by the Donks that kept the Chiefs from scoring. It was bad play-calling, poor execution, penalties at critical times, and especially dropped passes.

    This is hypothetical but, what do you suppose would have happened to the Donks Defense last night if they had gone against the Chiefs Offense from 2003 on one of its better days? That's right, the Donks Defense would have gotten their guts ripped out.
    I find it really hard to use the term "rebuilding", when your team was 9-0. Sounds "rebuilt" to me. Just my opinion
