    Key word is multiple. If we do this once they don’t have 3 seconds to kick the fg

     

    Here are all the key words.  You don't get one free down to tackle all their receivers.  

     

    ARTICLE 3. INTENTIONAL FOULS TO MANIPULATE GAME CLOCK

    A team may not commit multiple fouls during the same down in an attempt to manipulate the game clock.

    Penalty: For multiple fouls to run off time from the game clock: Loss of 15 yards, and the game clock will be reset to where it was at the snap. After the penalty is enforced, the game clock will start on the next snap.

  2. I lived in KC for a year and I had more football related talks with Chiefs fans than I could possibly remember.  They love to talk X's and O's that's for sure.  These people take their professional family photos wearing Chiefs gear and they take their tailgating very seriously with preparations starting days prior (especially since the NFL started opening the lots only 4 hours prior to kickoff, which really cuts into meat smoking time!)  I'm happy to hear the experience for our fans was predominantly positive because I gained a lot of respect for Chiefs fans during my time there.

    On the Kelce play, they could have done the everyone hold the WR thing to waste some time and take a 5 yard penalty which would have left them with one play.   I  think McD probably thought that was bush league but they are probably getting ready for Cinci if they did it.

     

    It's a penalty to commit multiple fouls in an effort to subvert the clock, and the refs will put the time back on the clock.

  4. It's not even halfway through January but I already have booked: 

     

    2 x Umphrey's McGee (1 x Red Rocks, 1 x Dillon Amphitheatre which is a spectacular newer Colorado venue) 

    2 x Tedeschi Trucks Band at Red Rocks 

    Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets at Paramount Theatre Denver

    Roger Waters "This Is Not a Drill" at Ball Arena Denver 

    Pretty insane that tickets are already on sale for these events so many months in advance 

    but if you don't want to get gouged by the secondary market this is the only way to go

  5. SPOILERS BELOW

    No disagreement with the consensus here!  The magic of the TV show was that not everything had to be wrapped up in a neat little bow at the end of every episode.  As in life, things just don't work like that.  The movie by contrast seemed rushed from beginning to end.  We were barely introduced to Dickey's father, and the next thing we know he's getting his head bashed in.  The whole twin thing was bizarre really, although I did find Liotta's performance of Dickey's uncle in prison to be a saving grace.  All the Easter Eggs really hurt.  It seemed like every other scene there had to be some reference to the original series.  How many people did not hear the "varsity athlete" line coming a mile away??  And the actor who played Silvio went WAY over the top.  Sil's mannerisms would have developed over time as he aged.  The whole race riot subplot seemed distracting, disjointed, and unnecessary.

    The article does say the police were called because of a person sleeping in a parked car. And that the charge is a misdemeanor. 

     

    So he may not have been driving at all.

     

    That does not matter, you can still be charged with a DUI under these circumstances.

  7. Maybe somebody here remembers the game against Denver at the Ralph where the Broncos threw a hail mary at the end of the first half.  The ball was tipped and Clements could have blasted Rod Smith into oblivion instead he went for the INT and got outjumped for the ball and the Doncos went on to win the game.  
    There's a good time and a bad time to go for the INT, and I have no problems with Micah doing so in this instance.

    Nice, my first show was Yes at Memorial Aud in 1991.  I remember they played in-the-round with all 8 members present, and risers were used to swap in and out the band members to accommodate the next song

    That’s an 87 point pace for the season. Nice improvement, but still about 8 points short of a playoff spot. Then again, nobody in their right mind entertained playoff hopes before the season began, anyway. 

     

    Just need to tread water for now.  Once we get healthy, we might be able to think about making a run.  Sounds like Tuch could make his debut as early as January.

  10. I always feel a bit conflicted.  Of course I want my players to receive accolades and recognition, but I can't help but believe that pro bowls nods mean that agents will demand more $$ and thus make these players a lot harder to re-sign.  If I'm overreacting please set me straight

    8,467 for opening night. WOOF!

     

    For what it's worth, they were loud and proud on the tv broadcast.  This was mentioned multiple times during postgame player and coach interviews.  I think they should all get a patch for attending this game

    I was there in 2000 with the Colorado Bills Boosters.  Had a great time marching through the tailgating parties.

    KC fans were pretty cool to us.

     

    And I even forgot to mention the smells - sweet wood smoke in every direction. We were there the first year they started opening the lots only 4 hours before kickoff.  These crazies were firing up their barbecues in the back of their flatbed pickup trucks while in traffic on the way in!

  13. KC is a great place to see a Bills away game.  I have done it twice and had a blast both times (1 Bills loss, 1 Bills win).  Many of the Chiefs fans boo'd us playfully at first, then invited us over to their tailgates and fed us until we practically burst.  We received commendations for traveling so far to support our team.  I lived in KC for a year - these people take their official family photos in Chiefs gear I kid you not - so they respect good fandom.  During one year's tailgate we unwittingly found ourselves in the middle of a pre-game Native American war chant where fully dressed War Chiefs in full headress sang and pounded drums in a circle around us, culminating in a large poof of smoke and they were all gone!  It was a very cool experience (even if Peerless Price did drop that pass late in the game I'm sure due to this hex!)
