Fair Weather Fans ?

Are we fair weather fans? Well I pose this to you, why is there maybe half or three quarters of the stands full. Look, when our perspective teams are doing well we pack the stands and not when they are sucking. Well, right now alot of teams are sucking and not much chance of change either. Lets look at it. The Kansas City Chiefs have had a sell out for several years now and this year after the beginning of the season, not so much. One of the local tv stations are buying up the tickets to broadcast it. Why you say, well hell they make a ton of money to broadcast it. Even though we are not out at the stadium watching, we are watching at home. The advertising goes way up for this game. I think if I am not mistaken they get some compensation from the league for the televised games also. From the network or the NFL one or the other. So as I sit and watch a pathetic team, in the chiefs, play a horrific game, when it ended they went to the NY Jets game. I could almost count on two hands the people in the stands. It looked like a ghost town. You think for one second the stands are filled in Miami. Well, if they are it is because they are wanting to see the run the tables in reverse. We will get to that later. So, guess what, Queen Carl, your 5 year plan is up, that was about 15 years ago. You did what you wanted and that was to fill the seats. Now your fans are on to you. Put a team, worth spending $100.oo a person, on the field and they might return. Until then they won't be back. You have had your run and it is time for you to move on. I retract what I might have said earlier, you don't need to be in charge of shit, advertising, marketing, anything. Take your bags and move to another city and drain them of their hard earned dollars on a pipe dream. It is not happening here anymore. If anyone is reading and you have tickets to the last remaining game at Arrowhead, stay home. I would love to see about 500 people show up and that is it. No that was not a misprint, or a fat finger, I said it, 500 people in the stands. Don't be giving those greedy, lying bastards anymore of our hard earned money. They need to put something on the field worth watching, let alone spending a couple hundred bucks on going to the game. I can stay at home or go to the bar to watch it and increase the economy. That would be better for everyone, not just the QUEEN.

Now on to the the horrific game, or so called game. After the game I hear something from our head coach that I could not believe. He was pissed at the defense, are you freaking serious. They are on the verge of turning on you Herm baby. You think that there is only one side of the damn ball. I don't think so, not in the least bit. This defense has kept your inept ass in several games for you and your damn Coordinator to loose it for them. You think that these men are going to keep going out and killing themselves for you to lose it for them. Look, I know, I have heard it all before and I am not buying in at all. Defense might help to win the championship, but not without scoring. Are you trying to tell me that if you have a 25 game winning pitcher for you he can win by himself. If he only gives up 1 friggin run and you can't score ANY, guess what dumbass, you still loose. If you hit every green in regulation, and you 3, or 4 putt, guess what dumbass, you won't win a jacket. Do I need to give you more examples. I did not think so. I know you have a decent defense and it is good enough to win with, hell you might even win a silver football. However if you can't score, if you can't putt, if you can't hit the ball, you won't win dumbass. Who is the dumbass, well there is several of you out there on this team. Now you stick a kid out there at the QB spot to get his flippin brains scrambled. Take another one out on a stretcher. Bitch at your defense, the only thing keeping you within 3 points. You really don't think it was you or your damn play calling do you. If this is what your are thinking then you have lost your mind. You are no longer in touch with reality. You have lost the last bit of sanity. I can only hope that with your #4 or #5 draft pick that you, Queen Carl don't have another bust. I will give you a hint you don't need another running back, you don't need another linebacker to turn into a halfback. You need a line. Look around you DUMBASS, the Denver Broncos can stick anyone in as running back and gain a 100+ yards a game. They have done it year in and year out for how many years. You think it is that they are that damn lucky, I don't think so. Not hardly, they have a line. You think that the Patroits have a hall of fame running back, did Green Bay, did Indianapolis, did San Fran? No, none of them did. Now that is not to say that Craig with San Fran was not good, that is not to say that Malony is not good, and the list goes on, but are any of them hall worthy. Hell no, they aren't. Yet they all managed to win the big ones,did they not. There is one exception to this rule. Emmit Smith, and yet he was willing to take a pay cut for the team. Do you have a guy like this, no you have one that you sunk all your money into and has done absolutely nothing this year. Oh he got paid and has done nothing. If he gets healed, guess what, with the friggin line you have he is going to get hurt again, and again and again. Just like your new QB is going to get. Look Len Dawson said it best, Croyle did not have a cast or anything after the game so that is a good thing. That was the only thing the hall of famer could come up with good. Croyle did not have a cast on when he left the locker room. You should be proud Herm and Carl.

Ok, now, those of you who have been coming by here know that I am pulling for the Dolphins to run the tables in reverse. They are about there, we all need to pull together here and root for them. I thought that a week ago they was going to win one and that almost pissed me off. I almost threw a fit. There is one game left that is bothering me, Baltimore. This is a game that could go against all of us that is rooting for them. The record that has made it this long, will have to be erased from the books if they go win less. I don't care if the Pats do win out, I want the other record taken off the books if they go in reverse this year. This will no longer count, it can not count if you loose all 16. We are at 0 - 13 and I am getting excited. If they go 0 - 15 I am going to have a party to watch the last one. That one has to be Nationally televised doesn't it. I mean even if you are in Boston and the Pats are about to go 16 - 0, even you chowds, would want to see 0 - 16 more wouldn't you? Come on, don't you lie to me, you want to see it don't you. Well, if it comes down to that, I am having the party. Hell, I might even get Sunday ticket for one damn game. It would so be worth it.

Really Bad Football

So I am all excited about my High School team winning, the college team I support winning, you can read more about the good teams below this one. There is only one team left to win for me to have a great weekend and that team is playing one of the worst teams in the NFL. Yes I am talking about the Kansas City Chiefs. You think for one damn minute these mis haps could win one freaking game for me, or any one else in this city. Hell no they can't. Why can they not win, well here is my theory and this is just my theory. They suck and they suck bad, but not all was lost.

Herm Edwards had his little problem with a kicker in the first part of the season and the pre season. Well here we are in the middle, or past the middle of the season, and we still don't have a damn kicker. What the hell is the problem with these guys, they have one damn job to do and that is to kick the damn ball and we can not get one that can do it. Now, wait a minute, I know that this may not be the easiest thing to do, so there for I went to a local high school football field and tried it myself. I never kicked a football in high school or college or in pop warner. However, From the 15, 20, and 25 yard line I hit 3 - 3 from each stripe. No, it was not very damn pretty, might not have made a couple of them over the blockers if there had been any there, but I made all of them. I then moved to the 30 yard line and and missed the first 3 and then I decided that I was not leaving until I made one. I was short on all of them until about the 9th try then I made it and then I, in my cockiest walk, left. That was a 40 yard field goal and I am not getting paid for this, yet I made the damn thing. I missed the first 8, but made the last one. The point here is this, I am not a professional kicker, hell I have never tried before. These limp legged guys do this stuff for a living and they can't do it either. So there for I am going to try to be a walk on for the Chiefs. Hell they let Lynn Elliot do it for a whole year and these two knuckle heads. So hell I figure at the minimum wages, I can make it long enough to pay off my house right, well ok maybe not. The Chiefs lack of finding someone, anyone to kick the damn ball cost us a game that should have never came down to this, but it did. Because the head coach can not trust the guy we put in that position. The lack of finding the right players is costing this team more than one game. For the last how many years has the Chiefs had games taken away from them because of this. Think back to the 2 Indianapolis games. We was screwed out of our first playoff win and it came down to a damn kicker that can not kick the ground, let alone the ball through the uprights. Why are we cursed with kickers. We have a damn curse I tell you, forget the goat, forget the Bambino, the Chiefs have the kickers curse and it is still killing us.

Now, that is not the only reason we lost, we lost in my opinion because of the play call, there was 9 to 10 men in the box and what the hell do we do, we run the damn ball up the middle. No chance, none at all. Do we not have a naked bootleg play, look ,the new kid was running rough shot over the Raiders on the outside. No one hit him and got him on the first hit, it took at least one more hit, before they brought him down. Koby, did a pretty decent job in his first start. They had not really stopped him all day, why change what your doing. I have always coached and taught you do what your doing until they stop you. Keep on driving until they stop you. If they want to give up 4.5 yards per carry outside then keep doing it until they stop you. No lets run the damn ball up the middle with 10 men there to stop you, and 6 guys to block. That makes a hell of alot of sense huh. I am an old fat man sitting in my chair watching and can see that. The goofs in the box has to see it. Do we not remember the naked bootlegs that Trent Green ran for touchdowns and big yardage. With the speed of today's NFL, most all defensive guys over run mis direction, hell the Broncos beat the Chiefs with it every time they play. KC is not the only team that falls for this, most teams do. Line up in the I formation and convince the defense your doing what you always do and then bootleg out or sweep outside, at least give the kid with a little speed a chance at making a play for you since the incompetence of the management can not find a kicker. This play alone took the game away from us. Then you have the great 2 time out call. What kind of coach does this, you CAN NOT do this in the NFL. If you want to review the damn thing then fine you throw your little red flag on the field and you review it. While they zebras are hid behind curtain number one, talk about what wrong play you are going to run to take you out of the game. Obviously your not going to call a play to give you a chance, so hell do this while they are reviewing the call. That just for the record was a bonehead decision to ask for that anyway, but hell don't cost yourself 2 timeouts.

Look you had a new kid running the ball and he did a damn good job. Was it the line all of a sudden playing, or just this kid getting hit once and bouncing off and making a play. Don't say the Raiders defense sucks, we all knew that. You trying to tell me that everyone we have played is ranked in the top 10 in rushing defense. I don't think so. I think probably a little of all the above, but the first happened alot on my tv. You have got to go with what works, piss on your game plan, that sucks most every Sunday by the way, and run what works. This team use to have a huge home field advantage and anymore, you might as well play on a neutral field, cause this field is not working anymore. I, in closing, feel sorry for alot of these guys on this team that deserve better. You have a few guys that are on this field bleeding red and gold and getting their collective asses handed to them week in and out. Queen Carl, I think it is time for you to move on and let someone that knows football fill in for you. You want to stay on board, fine you handle advertising and public relations. That is something you are good at. You do not have the stadium filled and will not fill the seats until you figure out your 5 year plan. We was fed that crap about, what, 20 years ago. Come on Queen Carl, it is time to move on. Clark Hunt you have to see what your daddy could not see. I know this is a business, but Jesus Christ, you have to give us something don't you. I mean you would not continue to keep buying the same shitty food if it did not change would you. You would not keep buying the same shitty tires for your car or truck if once every 6 months you have to buy new ones would you. Come on, give us something. You know that we want to keep filling the seats and we want to keep rooting for you, all we are asking for is a little help. It is always feast or famine with you guys. Give us a great offense and no, I mean no defense, then like now you give us a defense and absolutely nothing on offense. Can you not give us a little of both. Don't have to be awesome on both sides, but hell, how about a good offense and an above average defense. How about a 15th ranked defense and a top 10 ranked offense. You have it in the works, I truly believe now all you need to help out is someone to block. You have 2 pieces but they are going to retire before long. Give us a damn line and fire the Offensive Coordinator, and we will be happy and you will fill the seats. Don't tell me that, that is not all you care about, cause it is and you friggin know it. If that is not all you cared about you would have put together a offense to go with the Marty Ball defense. You would have given us a defense to go with the Dick Vermil era offense. Did you even make an attempt? Here, I will answer that, NO you did not. Don't give me that crap that you did, you know you didn't. The seats was filled and that is what you was aiming for. Screw you all I am done, until you can at least make an effort. At least try harder than your friggin kickers are.


Keep reading below for the weekend of all football weekends continues. MU, KU, and some high school football also.

Major Football

Well, well, well, Saturday has come and gone and I am almost completely satisfied in regards to football. Lets start with on of the most dominating teams in High School football. The Harrisonville Wildcats have done what no one has done for several years now and with one more trip they will be tied for most consecutive trips. They come out and immediately start right where they left off, Sean Ransburg, running wild through the MCIDS Rams defense. He threw where he wanted and when he wanted. Oh yeah he missed a few, a couple to long and what not, but he hit when it mattered. The running backs had their way also with the Rams. It was never really a game at all in my opinion. Harrisonville coach, Fred Bouchard said earlier that that loss to them in 2004, still sticks with him, it is something that sticks in his craw. Well coach, this is twice now you have dominated them and in a big way. Harrisonville won by 35 points, 49 – 14. This is not a close game, not in a state title this is suppose to be the best that the state has, this is not an insult to the Rams of MICDS, but is this the state has or is Harrisonville just this good. I know that I am partial, but I am going with that latter. This team is this good and from the looks of younger players they might be this good for quite some time. We are looking at a Dynasty in the high school ranks. This team has now won 41 straight games and I have heard this is the 8th longest streak in the NATION. I made that bold so you got the point in the nation. They have had one loss in 2005, it was the first game of the season and it was to a 5A school, and they made it close. Some say the Cats give that game away. You know what though if a 3A school looses to a 5A school I will give them that loss and not hold it against them. Would have been nice to say they have won 56 straight games, as they went undefeated the prior year. I only want to say to Coach Bouchard, congratulations to you and your team on another quality year and look forward to bragging on you in the next years to come. 3-peat sounds good don’t it. Well I will be here for the 4- peat also.

Now to the second part of my great weekend. As you all have read in the past few days that I am a huge MU fan, and I have been dreaming of this win for days now and it has all come true for me. Now if the BCS don’t screw them again in the rankings. MU went on to that field and dominated this KU team like they have not seen or imagined all year. I know exactly what the KU fans are going to be saying and I am writing this early on Sunday so when they all start their crying on Monday it is here as proof. You see when KU losses in basketball all you hear is that the officiating was atrocious and cost them the game. You will hear that also here, with a few calls that should or should not have been called we win that game. With out the turnovers we win that game. Their will be no credit given to the Tigers defense that forced those turnovers just excuses that is all you will hear and you that listen all the time know it. If you don’t believe me tune into to the sports radio stations on Monday and you will hear it all. Then you can tune back in here and leave a comment saying you are right. You see the pretty people never, and I mean never take responsibility for what has actually happen. They have to have a reason why something happened. Well, all you freaking Johnson county asses here let me give you your excuses. You got your asses handed to you in the first half and the beginning of the second half. Man”GINA” had no idea what to do, from the look on his face he was hungry and that is all I seen. Feed me, Feed me. Look there will be no excuses at all you got beat and that is that, the officiating was not unfair. Hell, every time the Tigers got close they made stupid mistakes and get moved back. They give you every chance to take this game. How many 3rd and 20 + was there or 3rd and 18. Chase Daniels may not or probably not win the little bronze guy, but by god he needs to be invited anyway. This man went out on this field and made plays when he needed to. I have never seen one guy make that much difference in one game. Every time the Tigers needed a pass they got it and they got from him. Look back at the 3rd and 18 or 19 whatever it was and he runs around for an hour back there and finds the open guy and puts the ball in a box for the receiver. It was a perfect pass and no one was going to get it except for whom he wanted to get it. I think that only reason that it got as close in the second half as it did was that the MU offense started shutting down a little, it almost looked like to me that Pinkel was playing prevent offense, run the clock down and we will be fine. It looked to me like there was not the aggressiveness that I seen in the 1st half. I started to get a little worried there for a bit. But hey the kids kept scoring and kept scoring. Though be it, it was field goals, but they kept scoring. Now give it to the Jayhawks, they scored every time they got the ball in the 4th, and they scored quickly also. The defense was not playing as close and tight as they were earlier in the game. They got the win and that is all that matters to me and, a lot of people.

As I said last week the Jayhawks have not been challenged like this all year. They have not played on ranked team. They play one ranked team and they get their collective asses handed to them. Rock, CHOKE, Jayhwks. That is what is was, a first class choking and strangling. 11-0 I know you have done things right, but you was not challenged all year and you KU fans know it. That is why you should have been ranked right back there with Hawaii all along. Neither of you have been challenged, by anyone, with a winning record or a ranked team all year. Now that you are back around probably 9 or maybe 10 you are where you should be. Look I have said it before and will continue to say it, I am a big 12 fan and I am sure you will probably get a bcs game, well if you are all smart enough to root for MU. You see if MU wins, then you have a BCS birth. Otherwise you don’t get that. They will only take 2 big 12 teams, MU will be 1 if they beat the Sooners, and then you will be the other. So get the feathers out of your mouths and root for whom you know should win this next game. I think this time around OU will not prevail.

Good game to the Tigers and the Jayhawks, Pinkel did not have his coaching stroke I thought he might have and the MANGINAS got their ass whipped just good enough in one half to loose site of the tigers. The clown suit looks good on you Coach Mangina, wear it with pride, you deserve it. Be back later with another report on the Chiefs.

NFL and BCS

Ok around the NFL, Lets start with Miami, once again they loose and they are not loosing to good teams they are just loosing and loosing ugly. The more I watch these guys they might go win less all year. i am not seeing anyone on their schedule any easier than a few of them they have already played. I also think that if they go win less the undefeated season needs to be erased. I mean hell, loosing all 16 games is much more memorable than the undefeated, season. Would you not agree? Hell yeah you would agree and you know it.

Now to St. Louis, don't get the big head you are still not a very good team, hell you are not even an average team. Actually of the two Missouri teams you are the worst of the two and no that is not saying much but it is true.

Now, Indianapolis, what the hell was you doing in the first half of this game. You let an average team beat you. I mean an average team beat you. Peyton Manning proves that yes even he is human and you can have a bad game and a bad day. 6 ints that is the most by him, and yet in the second half what happens. Yes they start a comeback, they do this missing their number one receiver and a few others. I think that maybe coach did not have them ready for this game and this is the biggest reason for this loss. Well, besides the KICKER. Don't you just hate to see your team by the un -athelete loose a game for you. Your offense comes in and gives you a chance to win the game with only 90 seconds left. A 29 yard attempt and you friggin miss it. I hate to talk about kickers, I mean I hate to talk about them. They are the heart breakers of the league. I remember a kicker in KC that lost a playoff game for KC and I have never liked them since. Probably never like them again. Lets face it, they are not athletes and you or anyone else will convince me of that. You can talk till your blue in the face. What the hell do they do, nothing kick the damn ball. And what do you do, you friggin don't do your job. Look I can see it if it is a long attempt. this was not much more than an extra point, and you flippin miss it.You Elliotted the damn ball. 29 friggin yards and you missed it. You should be beaten with a tube sock filled with soap. The only job you have is to kick the damn ball. No on is trying to knock your head off and no one is trying to kill you, KICK THE DAMN BALL.

Ok now to the NFC, yeah I hate to admit it, but Dallas my be the best team in the NFC. All though the Packers is a damn close second to them. Romo is throwing the ball really well and has a great long ball game. The addition of Owens might not have been such a bad idea huh. Alot of professional media folks was saying that Green Bay was a good bad team. Well let me tell you something this is the best bad team I have ever seen. Brett Favre is playing like he has another 5 years to play, and his team is almost rallying behind him. They actually have moderate running game. But the old man is still just as accurate as he was in his 3rd year. We have watched him win two ball games with his arm and his arm only. Perfect throws and great catches. This whole team rallies behind him, and everyone knows it. Tell me different and then prove it. That's right you can't prove it. This hall of famer is still got his shit. Not like he use to but good enough to win a few games huh.


BCS, there are alot of people and rankers seem to think that KU does not deserve to be there at number 3. Well look here they are undefeated like I have said and they have won on the road and beating people bad. Not just beating people but beating the hell out of them. Look I knkow their non conferance schedule is pitiful, but that is what it is. Tell who LSU has played that is stellar. Tell me who oregon has played the is stellar. That is right thay have not played anyone that is that great. Then again no one has really played agreat schedule. That is the key, play who you need to and that is about it. Play games that make you look good not to weak but the teams you knw or think you can handle and handle well. KU set up this schedule to give their boy s the confidance to play well and keep playing. Well it had worked and it is appearant to all now. The national boys are even looking at this team. Only one thing I am not sure of and I pose this question to you. What about MU, now I know you are going to say they have lost one. Yeah they lost one and they layed that top ranked team very good and should have won that game. Could have should have I know. They lost a few turnovers and interceptions, and this was the difference in the game. Mu beat the Colorado, team that kU beat 19 - 14, by 2+ scores. They have put clown suits on alot of people this year. I am really looking forward to the Big showdown in a couple of weeks. This game is going to be huge and we all know it. I know some of you reading this may not be Big 12 fans and might even say that this is the weakest league in the country. Is it? Well, the big 12 has four teams in the top 25, that is not to bad. They also have 3 teams in the top 5. Thats right I said top 5. Now, all three teams have a chance at the national championship game. They all have a good chance at the game. They have to play each other to get there and that is what makes this so exciting. First off KU, plays Mu then the winner most likely will play OU for the championship game in the big 12. This winner will, I believe, will be playing for all the marbles. This is not a fans far fetched perspective this is a very realistic observation.

I guess we will all see huh.

The Chiefs Tank Another One

Well once again the Chiefs tank another one. The return of Preist Holmes was the only exciting part of the game you might say. Guess what, he did no worse than Larry Johnson was doing. He averaged just over 3 yards per carry. The one thing that Priest did do was he did throw several nice blocks to help protect Huard. This is the one thing that the Chiefs need to be somewhat efficient in the passing game. Bowe had another couple of really nice catches and made a few plays. Brody Croyle comes in and has a so so showing. He had sharp passes and yeah he did have the one INT. Although being fair to him it takes some time to get going and really get accustomed to the action. This will take him several weeks for him to grasp this. As I wrote earlier Brett Favre and John Elway started both of their careers really shaky with interceptions. So there is more to rating a quarterback and how he did, in his first significant play time. He had 1 int and no tds. he was still able to move the team down the field twice one ended with a bonehead move on Preists' part and then you had the int. But in all he did not to bad start. Lets see if Herm will leave him in as the starter.

Ok, back to the part of the story that sparked this column. LJ wanted the big bucks and he has them and has not shown up yet. 559 total rushing yards and a 3.5 average per carry, not to mention he can not block. He can't even fall in front of someone and make them miss the QB. This is not exactly big money type numbers huh. Not in the least. So we bring in a man who has not played for two years, has not seen any significant NFL speed for two years. What does he do, well he averages just over 3 yards per carry and besides the one bonehead play at the 7 yard line and a loss of 14 yards. He does a nice job. All you have heard around this part of the country for that last week was, "oh my god what are we going to do without LJ?" Well it appears to me that you went out and layed an egg just like you have for the other 8 games. So to all redio shows in KC find something worth talking about, we have discussed this all weeka and like I have told several of you we would not be loosing anything and it has now become a reality. You have way bigger stories to report on and talk about. I have a feeling the BCS polls will give you something to complain about and run in the ground all week. Hey Chiefs, you let a team that was last in defense against the run and not good at all against the pass and has had no offense to speak of all year. Then you let them put a Bozo suit on you and you wore it well too, by the way. The defense let you down 4 times late in the game, letting the Denver receivers run rough shot over you most of the second half. up until that point the defense held their own, was getting good pressure on Cutler. Then all of a sudden you give up not on but 3 big plays in the secondary. You can not do this and win in the NFL, even with a really bad team. Hell I had the Chiefs winning all their remaining AFC West opponents. I guess that was a bad prediction huh. None the less the running back situation is not your problem kids in KC. The problem is you have no offense at all. I mean none, but hey LJ got what he wanted huh. You think that he is the type of player to recover and get back as quick as possible. Hell no, he got his guaranteed money. He gets paid to sit at home and eat nachos while watching this pathetic team get embarrassed.

This pic I think pretty much sums up the feel at Arrowhead once again. That was obvious from the empty seat half way through the fourth quarter. This is something you never use to see and now this is the second time in just

a few weeks that the seats are emptying out way before the game ends.

The mystique that was Arrowhead is gone and I think Queen Carl is about to figure that out and in a bad way. Maybe the new kid can get something sparked. Hey he can't do any worse. I mean Damon Played just over a half and through 2 Ints and Brody only threw one. We'll see I guess. Will be going over the rest of the league for a post tomorrow and the new BCS polls. And a new babe of the day, that might be the best part of a Blue Monday in KC.

Quarter Back Controversy

Yeah, I know I am from the midwest and my teams if you have not figured it out yet you will shortly. So, the Kansas City Chiefs, QB controversy? Well ,lets see, they have a young gun, that is what we are being told is a young gun, and a career backup. One is not making great throws, however to be fair he does have his moments of great passes. Yeah he has managed the game really well. Hell I thought the coaches was to manage the game and the players was to play the game. That is why we are paying the ticket prices, the parking prices, to pay their salaries. Last year when Trent Green suffered his first concussion and Huard was brought in he was told and everyone in the media was telling us that he was asked to not loose any game for us. No, we don't want you to go out and worry about winning games just don't loose them. Well guess what from the looks of the play on the field he is still trying not to loose any. Damn sure not winning any. Look the guy has more interceptions that touchdowns. This is the NFL and that stands for Not For Long if you keep playing like this. He is getting old his legs are not as fresh as they once was, his arm is not the strongest arm in the league. Yet we keep him on the field and not go for it with the young gun. He is a back up Herm, and Queen Carl.

Brody Croyle, has been described to us as, athletic, strong arm, make plays, make throws that alot of QB wouldn't make or can't make. If we take this description and this description only, why in the hell is he not playing. Quit giving me this crap that hey we are leading the league. Tied with San Diego, but we have the tie breaker, we beat them at their house. Does anyone including the chiefs think that if they back into the playoffs again, yes Herm you backed in the playoffs, they have a chance at beating Pittsburg, Indianopolis, in the first round. HELL, no you don't stand a chance. Look in this division yeah if you won 8 you probably win your division. Seriously though what are you going to do after that, here I will help you again, nothing. I repeat, nothing. So back to the question with that being said, why in the hell is Croyle not playing. You are not going to do anything even if you win your division. Let the kid in and see what he can do. Then you know if you need to go get one in the draft. Wait a minute Queen carl draft, well his track record is shitty, but hey he did get Mr, Dereck Johnson and a few others that might turn out. For the most part he is a bust in the draft and will probably stay there. Ok back to the point I was making. Put the kid in and lets see what hes got. Look when Brett Favre started yeah he threw ints' and he was a gunslinger. In his first three years he had more Ints than td's. The Falcons did not want him and got rid of him. Wow that proved to be a great move huh. John Elway, he was a scrambler and had his share of ints' also. In his first year, had 14 picks and 7 tds' not axactly pro bowl numbers huh. In his first ten years his Int to td ratio was not very damn good. In 92 he had 7 more picks than he did tds. He was drafted in the first round by who, not the Broncos, but the Baltimore Colts, another great trade huh.

Ok Where am I going with this, Put the young gun in and lets see what happens. I also say that we can not say that because he has a rough frist year or first half year don't jump ship and let him go. I just stated the hall of famers and their stats and they all have similarities in the way they play, gun slingers and scramblers and great arms. I see alot of the Hall of Famers in this kid. I know I am not a pro at this, but take a look will you.

Look I know that Damon is running for his life, the lack of offensive line is not his fault and not helping his cause either. I pose this question could Brody have gotten away from a few of those hurries or sacks. A few late throws could have gotten there a little quicker. Most recent the last drive against the Packers and Favre, Damon throw in my opinion late to the sideline and in front of reciever. So lets say that Brody throws late also, with a little more pep on the ball it gets there quicker and maybe he stays in huh. The long ball, what long ball. Brody has the ability to throw the long ball. Not to mention that he gives the whole team a little spark. Hell maybe the opponents will have to respect the arm of this kid and might loosen up the defense to open up the run.

Speaking of run, what are we going to do, LJ is out, oh my what are we going to do. I got it, put 31 in and let him do what LJ has done. Run right up the backsides of his linemen cause there is no hole open. Hell I acan run into the guys in front of me. What the hell have you lost, nothing that is what you have lost. Oh wait a minute the threat, no that went away five weeks ago. Or right after LJ netted a whopping 13 yards in one game. He has had 3- 100 yard games and thanks to a few long runs he got those. Half way throught the season and he has a whopping 559 yards and average of 3.5 per carry. Will 31 and the rookie do any worse. I doubt that. So quit going nuts we will be fine without Johnson. Damn sure can not get much worse huh. Hell maybe the line will want to block for the veteran running back to help with his comeback. NOT...
