3 up 3 down week 9

[JP51]

Ok...  I am still catching my breath.... somehow no matter what I say or rationalize KC ends up being personal for me... just about drove everyone out of the house with my yelling and screaming LOL...  here goes... 

 

UP

 

Allen - no explanation needed he was a beast

 

Hoecht - played very well in this game, hate he was injured like this... but his simple act of sitting on the bench with his teammates you could tell inspired them... this is a guy you want on your team

 

Hairston - kid made plays, tackles, INT was huge... we needed an infusion like this

 

Down - this one is hard not a lot down on this game... 

 

Prater - still got love for the guy... but you just gonna have that kick to put it away... you just have to.. we were fortunate

 

Samuel - took up a roster spot... did pretty much nothing... seems everytime he steps on the field (which is rare cause he is always hurt) he reminds us of what taking 8 Million dollars and setting it on fire looks like

 

Chiefs fans - Left Tampa today for Buffalo.... lots and lots of Bills gear in the Tampa and of Course Buffalo airport... absolutely not one Chiefs shirt, jersey, hat... nothing... talked to the dude at the rental car place he said the same thing... Saw lots pf Chiefs stuff on Friday and Saturday... none today though... cmon man... you still gotta swag out even when you lose....

Hoecht injury.

 

Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel- Seriously ready to see Gabe Davis and Palmer take those two spots.

Prater has been money and the ultimate calming presence for me this season. Heard hes got a calf injury, and it was 49yds, close as hell still.

 

In a post like this, you g2 find a down and its a fair one, but he gets a pass from me for now. Rest up homie, come back better next week!

I dont disagree, I feel much more comfortable with him than Bass... but man, if we dont get that stop... when you got the Chiefs down you gotta stake em... worked out... still have love for him... but we needed that... I also get it was 52 yards with a bit of a crosswind too... 

[2003Contenders]

Up:

Josh: he got his mojo back!

 

Defensive Line Rotation: Here is where everybody ate (Bosa, Epenesa, Hoecht, Groot, Walker). Such a shame about Hoecht's Achilles.

 

Spencer Brown: Remember before the bye, he was either out or compromised in each of the 2 losses. The bye week came at a good time for him, and I think the presence of a healthy Spencer Brown makes a HUGE difference.

 

Down:

Bernard: His instincts seemed woefully off yesterday, and it seemed like every time something bad happened, he was seen on the screen!

 

Taron Johnson: He has struggled quite a bit at times this season, and I think his absence yesterday revealed that the team just might be better off with Lewis out there.

 

Trade prospects: It's about 24 hours now until the trading deadline. The "everyone eats" mantra was in full force yesterday with 10 different players recording a reception. Palmer should be returning soon, and Gabe Davis may be making an appearance soon too. Personally, I still love the idea of trying to make a trade for a bona fide deep threat, but is Beane going to feel the same way? Likewise, will the spectacular play of youngsters in the secondary yesterday (Hairston and Bishop, in particular) preclude them from adding reinforcements there as well?

I completely disagree with having Davis play over those 2 guys. Gabe should play because of injuries only, not because of performance. People forget all of the drops, miscommunication, and interceptions that happened on balls targeted to Davis

[TBBills Fan]

Can we sign cousin skeeter to the active roster?

[Big Turk]

Bishop somehow has to be in there...he made the most impactful plays on D in the game, IMO

[Warriorspikes51]

I don't remember seeing Milano involved in any plays

They're going to have to trade for a DL.  It's just nuts.  Then next year they are going to have like 100 guys

Same.  Does anyone know his official snap count?  Did Cousin Skeeter see the field at all??

just looked.  33 snaps  55%  per Sal
 

Hoecht only played 24 snaps and the pass rush still generated havoc all game which is hopefully encouraging sign

One question.. why not just punt instead of going for a long FG? Wouldn’t a punt all but end the game especially if he pushes it out inside the 20? That way you can keep the clock running until after it gets downed

I found myself wondering the exact same thing as it happened.  I can only guess that Cousin Skeeter, as he is prone to do sometimes in high leverage moments, put a bug in McDermott's ear telling him the potential benefits of makin a fg there and the rest is history!!

They talked about that decision on the morning shows. The win probabilities for all three choices went:

 

Punt: 99.9% win

Go for it: 99.3% win

Kick FG: 99.2% win

 

So analytics says McD went for the lowest percentage chance, but they were all high percentage chances.

 

I think if he punted there, a lot of us would be bashing him for "playing not to lose".

 

One thing the morning show mentioned that wasnt factored as an option: Josh or Cook taking the snap and running straight back for 65 yards and take a safety. We did something similar in a high school game back when I was playing and it sealed a victory, but we were pinned back on our own 15-20yard line. If Josh/Cook makes it, it probably kills 20 seconds of clock and then you punt to KC with 5-10 seconds left still needing a TD. But if they somehow get tackled at like the 5 or 10 yard line it becomes the worst call in NFL history. Still an interesting option.

I think there's plenty of pluses and minuses to either call there and I was fine with the FG attempt.

 

FG attempt: End the game, punt not likely to net much yards (and chance of block), and if miss, still big challenge to score and tie with no timeouts and little time

Punt: Burn a bit more clock, might pin deep, small chance gets blocked, don't put the game away by making FG, very tall order to march down field from that deep

Yeah he probably needs to be there... he clearly to me is the most improved in the secondary... I finally have hope for him.

I would prefer a rule change to put the ball on a missed field goal to the point of snap or LOS... that 7 yards is a big penalty for missing a filed goal....

All I can think of is a botched handoff that gets run back to the five and then a TD with no time left and a 2-point conversion.

 

The Joe Pisarcik game, but on steroids.
