On D:
- Dawk is the Defensive MVP in the NFC. I'd say defensive league MVP if anyone could block Freeney
- Patterson is a stud.
- Where have you gone, Michael Lewis? Very disappointing year so far IMO.
- Kearse finally stepped up and had a big day. Not just saying that because of his sack or deflected pass. He was all over the field.
- Trotter is the farging man
- If Brown doesn't make the PB its a farce
- I've been noticing less Adams and more of Simoneau lately
On O:
- I think its time to start mentioning LJ as a top TE in this league
- Despite what I hear from the media, McNabb cannot get enough credit in my eyes
- Greg Lewis is starting to find his niche
- Reggie Brown has been MIA
- Parry had a decent day, his first of the season
- Hicks needs to be benched. I thought Clarke looked decent when he had a chance to play. Also noticed Fraley giving him a hand, though.
- Rest of the O-line is looking good. Great job of picking up the blitz today. I was surprised KC's D wasn't more aggressive.
- Love that no D can focus on shutting one man down. You either have to cheat to cover Westy or worry about TO beating you deep.
- Lamar Gordon looks great so far. He runs hard and has good vision. I'd like to see him more involved with the O.
Pretty obvious stuff but feel free to criticize or add your own thoughts.
This Terrell Owens guy is pretty okay.
Anyone else get a sense of run & shoot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_%26_Shoot) deja-vu watching this team?
QuoteQuarterbacks in the Run & Shoot usually have gawdy stat-lines and around 50 pass attempts per game.
QuoteThe Run & Shoot fell out of favor in the NFL, and to a lesser extent in the NCAA, because despite regular-season success, the absence of a running game seemed to lead the teams to early playoff exits.

I'm just thinking...
Gras tore his achillies tendon (right?) so he's probably out for the year. Who replaces him...Marshall?
edit: duh, or DW just comes back.
My post game thoughts are

oh and LJ Smith has the most farged up end zone celebrations ever.
I think he was shooting an arrow.
He was.
shooting arrow @ Arrowhead.
Yeah, that was pretty lame. Friggin' scarlet knight.
Dhani Jones has been pretty bipolar. He's whiffed on some necessary tackles, and he's made some good ones. This game was a good example. He blew in the first half, and he did well in the second.
My postgame thought is this: If Sheldon Brown doesn't make the Pro Bowl this year, it's a farging disgrace.
PS: Kansas City fans leaving their stadium when they're only down 13 is a bigger disgrace. I lost whatever respect I had for those punks when I saw that. Just ridiculous.

Gras can still be replaced on the 53-man roster also, so either Marshall will get promoted, or they'll bring in McCants or another WR back and then promote Marshall when Akers comes back or gets moved to IR.

He should have made it last year as well.
id like to give propers to jj for adjusting the defense...chiefs intention at the start was to run to the outside with toss sweeps so to stay away from trotter and abuse the eagles olb's (who by the way suck)...jj made a change and widened out the ends...he also would bring an olb to the line of scrimmage...sometimes only playing two backers and 5-6 'lineman'...great maneuver
LT in three weeks scares the ish outta me...that sd offense in general is gonna put up some big points on this d...gonna have to win that one in a shootout
i see nothing wrong with michael lewis...the guy is a tackling machine...he struggles in deep coverage but thats to be expected as he is a little slow...but when he comes up to bang someone he never misses
agree on the offensive line...they were awesome yesterday
My postgame thoughts are:
- if AR doesn't start calling some goddamned running plays I'm going to pull my hair out.
- is it just me or is McNabb starting to form some TO tunnel-vision.
- could TO drop some more passes? I know that's part of what he does, but seriously, some of those drops were a farging joke.
- our special teams could not suck any more than they do right now. top to bottom. awful.
- did I mention that if AR doens't call some running plays I'm going to murder my dog?
- our secondary is sick.
- our d-line CAN BE sick from time to time.
- McNabb is rather awesome in spite of his occasional TO tunnel-vision. If my groin was leaking intestines I probably wouldn't be throwing for 300+ every week. Probably.
- Frenchy obviously looked like bung early, but pulled it together and had a nice game overall. Having said that, our STs still eat ass and he is going to make me nervous every time he's in the game.
One thing I was thinking from the middle of the 2nd quarter on was...
How stupid were the Chiefs' coaches to get away from giving the ball to Priest? He was shredding the Eagles, and they put Larry in the game and tried to pass the ball more... basically everything BUT what was really working.
ill say it again...12 mil under the cap and no return guys to speak of...no special teams in general
my morning after post-game thoughts are this:
i have one hell of a headache
other then that, first half i was drinking silly to console myself, the second half drinking in celebration.
Another thought: Budweiser Select produces no hangover whatsoever. It's amazing. I watched the entire Phillies and Eagles games and drank 10 of those things and I don't even have a whiff of a hangover.
Budweiser Select rules.
And the Chiefs fans are still punks.
;D

Didinger made a good point about the Eagles defensive adjustments...he noted that early on the Eagles LBs were playing deeper behind the LOS because JJ was worried about Tony Gonzalez getting out into coverage.
He said that JJ then decided to have the LBs play at their normal depth and that is when they started shutting down the run.
The defense also started to pinch the corners of the defense and funnel everything inside, lik eyou mentioned.
In one defensive alignment on the goalline JJ had all 4 DTs in there and no DEs

It is a futile effort to continue to want the ball run more. Time for us to accept that Andy is going to throw, throw, throw.
TO only has 2 drops on the season...that one yesterday was big.
TO also leads the NFL in times targeted by his QB with 59. But when something is working, you keep going to it.
I accepted the fact that their running game sucks years ago. I also accepted the fact that Andy will throw 2 times for every 1 time he runs the ball.
Once you've accepted these facts, it makes watching the team much more enjoyable and much less stressful.
:yay
Ray Didinger also made another comment last night. He said that the Eagles run game isn't the traditional run game (I think Aikman said this during the game too). That little dump passes and screen passes and draw plays...THAT is what the Eagles use as a run game. Easy "passes" for McNabb and then the RB does the work.
How many catched does TO have? 32? And he's been targeted 59 times. That's 54%. That ain't good.
He may only have 2 official drops, but there was at least one other play where the ball hit him in the hands and clanged to the ground. The dude is sick, obviously, and obviously my hatred for him does not overshadow his talent, but come on. This 'spreading the ball around' concept shouldn't include 1/3 of your attempts going to one guy who is only slightly better than 50% when targeted, I don't care how talented he is.
I don't have a problem with it.
When you throw it 184 times you're going to target people a lot. 59/184 = 32%
Not so bad when you look at it that way.
And if they only had 100 attempts and he was targeted 59 times? Then I would se your point.
Quote
McNabb - 110 comp/174 att 63.2% comp. 1333 yds. 11 TDs
Owens - 32 catches 506 yards 4 TDs
McNabb (to anyone other than Owens) - 78/115, 67.8%, 827 yds, 7 TDs
I'm having trouble seeing why 1/3 of our passes should be directed at TO.
But the ratio wasn't 2:1 - it was closer to 4:1. Yikes.
Not that the run game was working well at all yesterday....and KC basically decide not to cover TO for the entire 2nd half.
Because he's a playmaker. A true gamebreaking stud that we have lacked at the position since forever.
They still spread it around, but TO gets a lot of looks.
Ride him and ride him and keep going back to him if defenses are not stopping him. I'm having trouble seeing why you shouldn't continue to use your best asset in the passing game when he is wide open.

We dodged a bullet when Roaf and Welbourn couldn't play. This forced KC to keep Gonzalez on the line to help block.
I'm not suggesting that they should have gone away from him yesterday. I mean, the Chiefs weren't even covering his ass. What I'm saying is that if we're going to pass on 75%+ of our plays, targeting one player for a third of those passes is fine against zesty defenses, but when we run up against the taterskins D or the San Diego D tossing 20 balls at TO isn't going to work.
That's great that everyone considers the dink-dunk part of our passing attack to be our 'running game' but: no running attack + an obvious tendancy to send a HUGE portion of our passes at one dude = easy to game plan. Luckily, most of the coaches in the league don't have the schemes or the personel to stop the Eagles even though everyone knows what we're going to do, but the Pats found a way to effectively stop it in the SB and good defenses won't have any trouble understanding that if you stop the passing game you stop our offense.

I can hear Reid now: "When you hand off, you take the ball out of the hands of our three biggest playmakers: McNabb, Owens, and Westbrook's receiving." ;D

And we had no Darwin Walker.
Welbourn is an afterthought. He had no bearing on the game.
i usually agree that TO shouldn't be the only guy that Donovan should look for, but he was so damn open yesterday, he would've been foolish not to throw it to him.
Greg Lewis had a big drop yesterday, but otherwise he's been ok. He's not the deep threat that Pinkston was so far, but with TO you don't necessarily need one.
Donovan moved aroung great considering his condition, you really couldn't tell anything was wrong with him, during the plays. He did his typical bust out of a sack routine a couple times yesterday.
bottom line, to comeback fro 24-6 down, in Arrowhead, that's a teriffic win and shows that this team has some balls.
Quote from: PhillyGirl on October 03, 2005, 09:09:02 AM

Actually, it has a huge impact.
Welbourn is a better pass blocker than he is a run blocker. With him in the game, Al Sanders would've released Gonzalez, who is the focal point of the Chiefs passing game, into the secondary. This wasn't to be because they has the green Sampson playing RT...he was forced to keep Gonzalez on the line of scrimmage to help him.
I was actually pissed that Frederick Mitchell was not a member of that team yesterday.
I agree that not having Roaf was a huge blow. And while Welbourn has been shtein in KC, he is way better than Kevin Sampson.
Gonzalez was helping out both OT's. They had him doubling Kalu several times too when Cole or Thomas were in for The Freak.
Some of my observations from the game yesterday:
I was drunk and the Eagles won.
That is all.
Some things I did notice though:
I thought the o-line was fantastic. McNabb had forever and a day to throw the ball most of the day.
I also thought McNabb looked just a little more mobile than he has the last couple of weeks. Just like last week, he came out misfiring but settled down in the 2nd half.
I thought the defense really stepped it up again yesterday. They looked a little sloppy on the first drive but even after a fumbled kick return, int and blocked FG the defense kept at it.
Speaking of fumbled kick returns. Rod Hood and Dexter Wynn blow moose knuckles in the return game. I noticed Reid put Mahe in there to return punts late in the game.
TO was a freaking stud yesterday. Again.
Patterson looked awesome and Kearse finally had a productive game. Not just stat wise but I saw him all over the field.
I didn't see who all was covering Tony Gonzales and the reason for that is because he only had 5 yards receiving so kudos to everyone covering him.
As I expected, Westbrook did not have a big game sans the 2point conversion. I think just about every time Westy touched the ball derrick Johnson was somewhere in the area.
Ok, I'll post more later. It's early and I'm tired and hungover not to mention the fact that Chuggie had to be at the airport at 6 farging 45 this morning. Farger. :boo
I've got a ton of pics from the tailgate and game that I'll post when I get home.
I agree with most of what's here...except the Oline praise shouldn't include Hicks. He's been a liability from day one this year.
I seem to be the only person here who thought McNabb was running slow. Certainly, he lost none of his elusiveness in the pocket, but the few times he was running to the sideline, he looked a lot slower than in the past. The groin (or shin) is definitely bothering him, but not enough to affect his arm. >:D

Exactly. One of the most overlooked skills at receiver is the ability to get open. TO does it well.

Kansas City fans leaving their stadium when they're only down 13 is a bigger disgrace. I lost whatever respect I had for those punks when I saw that. Just ridiculous.
Arrowhead is a LOUD stadium. I couldn't talk to Phanatic, and he was right next to me. Add that I felt about 2 inches tall during the beginning, and all I could think about was how much I paid for that ticket...
I took a lot of heckling during the first quarter and most of the second quarter. At half time, I was talking with the fans around me, and they told me they were getting nervous. When it turned to 24-24, the place fell quiet. I mean church quiet. All you could hear were the huge Eagles crowd up in the top corner doingthe Eagles song and chant. 6:00 minutes left in the game, and the place was emptying out fast. Pathetic display for the self-described most passionate fans in football. At the end of the game, only green and white jerseys throughout.
Oh, and me, Phanatic, and TO are buddies now. After his TD, he was on the sideline near us, so we starting singing the TO song. He looked at us, nodded his head, and cupped his ear to hear the beautiful music. A couple of iceholes near us were trying to mock him, but by then it was too late. The Eagles had started their charge, and were ready to inflict damage.
That game farging rocked, and I'm tired as hell and hoarse as shtein today....

Iam vuhery godo at typign.
ST:
-Get Mahe back to fielding punts. Wynn has shown no productivity.
-Mahe can return kicks too. Hood needs to concentrate on defense, since he sucks. Oh JR Reed I miss you.
ST meeds to be looked into. We were a good ST unit for past couple years, this year we seem alittle shaky.
OF:
-McNabb again had a slow start but warmed up in second half and had another great game. Still slow on his toes, but looked alot more comfortable throwing and moving.
-TO had another great game. He looked absolutley beat torwards the end of the game. He was all over the place. Yes he did drop two passes, but hes not perfect. If anyone complains as to why we throw the ball so much to TO, then u should be dragged outside and shtein on for being so stupid. Regardless of the stats, hes a playmaker, he makes the tough catches, he gets the extra yard. He was open on so many plays yesterday and McNabb missed or overlooked.
-Little John Smith-keeps stepping up ever week. He's really becoming a great option in the offense finally. He seemed to be protecting the ball alittle better also. He going to be something else this year it looks it. Possibily a pro-bowl year?
-O-LINE- should of gotten the game ball, minue Hicks. Just set up a wall for McNabb yesterday and gave him all the time in the world. Great job!
-Where was Westy??? Parry caught a ball, but noticed nothing else good about him.
-G. Lewis had a few good catches, and a drop. The one play Reggie Brown was waaaay open for a TD, but not spotted by McStabb. I'd like to see more Reggie action. Also I havn't noticed them airing the ball out to Glewis too much. Isn't he supposed to be the fastes receiver?
-O-Line gets offensive players of the game.
DEF:
First half none existent, second good.
-Sheldon Brown was solid today and had two picks. Maybe this year he will get credit deserved. Was that his first TD yesterday? Great job Brown!
-Trotter seemed alittle slow and off his game early, but seemed to be making the plays later.
-Patterson-is a pleasant surprise. when is the last time we had a rookie whos make an impact like him on D? Simon maybe? this kid is good, i am really happy with his performance so far. hell hes been our only playmaking DT.
-Dline over was decent, Kearse had a few good plays finally.
-Nothing great from Dawk or Lewis that I can recall.
-Laziness on Sheppard for letting an old man fly by him for that long of a play. Ive noticed a tendancy for him to get lazy sometimes in coverage. U never see that from Brown.
-Brown gets my Def. player of the game.

He'll be the guy catching onside kicks and fielding punts when the other team is kicking from midfield.
Apparently, the reason Green was so pissed at the coaches yesterday was that he's NOT ALLOWED TO AUDIBLE (http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/sports/12802698.htm).
You have a veteran QB like that and don't let him check off? Huh?

I'm not signing up for that ish, but if they really aren't letting him audible then that is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
Shows a lot of trust in your QB when you won't let him audible at home.
I remember Sean Payton/Jim Fassel were the same way with Collins.

Always scares me when I see LJ getting all wiggly and jiggly trying to fight for more yards and than I cringe waiting for the big hit to jar the ball loose. Other than that he is improving every week. He really is stepping up.
However he will never, ever perfect the stop, drop and roll. Love ya Chad!

he did indeed move much better yesterday...but he is incapable of running...something that will hurt them when they go against good defenses that wont allow them to just throw the ball at will...like atlanta...in those situations it was always nice to have donovan be able to take off and run for a first down to move the chains...that isnt an option anymore

yep. and they lost yesterday.
He's 270 pounds and closing in on 30. You can't expect him to run forever, injury or no.
I loved the way the D shut KC down in the second half. I heard today that Darth was screaming at halftime, saying, "they will not score on us again." Anyone else here this?
Yes, Trotter is the fargin' man, ain't he?
I hope McNabb keeps riding the TO wagon, he was so open yesterday, sometimes it looked like KC's defense forgot about him.
McNabb looked good, but not as good as he is when healthy, he was missing guys that were wide open, but I guess I shouldn't complain, he's still passing at over 60% isn't he?
I know Darth is always intense come game time, but he is unreal to see up close and in person. He was pacing like a caged animal on the sideline like he couldn't wait to get back in. I saw him yelling at the team (couldn't hear him though), and getting everyone riled up. He was like Darth Unleashed.
Amen for Dawkins! :evil
I think the reason the Eagles played so zesty during the first half is that they were depressed over the Phillies missing the playoffs.
:'(
OK. Mcnabb is 240, not 270, so I hope you were joking.
Steve Young said in the ESPN pre-game show that he had the same injury McNabb has and nothing can get worse from here on out, all you have to do is play through the pain. I don't see how that means McNabb can't run.
Our special teams sucked? Dante Hall...

- Hicks needs to be benched. I thought Clarke looked decent when he had a chance to play. Also noticed Fraley giving him a hand, though.
- Rest of the O-line is looking good. Great job of picking up the blitz today. I was surprised KC's D wasn't more aggressive.
- Love that no D can focus on shutting one man down. You either have to cheat to cover Westy or worry about TO beating you deep.
- Lamar Gordon looks great so far. He runs hard and has good vision. I'd like to see him more involved with the O.
Pretty obvious stuff but feel free to criticize or add your own thoughts.
Lewis leads the team in tackles...AGAIN ;D ;)

OK. Mcnabb is 240, not 270, so I hope you were joking.
Steve Young said in the ESPN pre-game show that he had the same injury McNabb has and nothing can get worse from here on out, all you have to do is play through the pain. I don't see how that means McNabb can't run.
Our special teams sucked? Dante Hall...
Are you just gonna critique everything everyone says and then say "I hope you're joking?" Becuase I'll clue you in right now. 1) We're usually joking and 2)No one gives a shtein what you think.

Nope - he wasn't joking at all. He's as serious as the heart attack McNabb's inevitably going to have from being such a fatty.
It probably hurts more to run which would probably slow him down.
How does Dante Hall explain the fumble from Hood and the generally zesty returns from both Hood and Wynn?
