I’m sailing! I’m sailing!!

03 Nov

Good morning Gil. I SAID, GOOD MORNING GIL!!!

Perhaps everything you need to know about life, you can learn from Bill Murray movies. In particular, “What About Bob?!” Bob Wiley had three simple mechanisms for combating life’s fears and difficulties:

• “If I fake it, I don’t have it!”
• “Baby Stepping”
• “Death Therapy”

Last Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs continued to baby step their way!

The Chiefs had five areas plaguing them game in and game out throughout September and October. These were: Read the rest of this entry »

Moral Victories

29 Oct

I’ve heard a lot of people talking about how moral victories mean nothing in the NFL. While I agree, I refuse to believe the Chiefs are not a better team flying home from New York, than flying out. As I said last week, the Chiefs falling to 1-5 at the hands of Titans would have been no different as a 13-17 final versus a 10-34 final. What was most disappointing about the Tennessee (and Atlanta, and Oakland) game was our lack of competitiveness.

Fast forward to the Meadowlands. Now we’ve lost a game, we could have won. Yes, I find that to hurt. It should hurt! But on Sunday!

On Monday Read the rest of this entry »

Forget the Titans!

21 Oct
Come on. There is a reason Tennessee was 5-0 coming into town.

The mighty-mighty Titans were…well…mighty-mighty. I’m not talking about the score. I’m referring to their physical strength. We just weren’t strong enough (or probably tough enough) to beat them. Both sides of the Titans lines were using their arm strength to control the shoulders of the Chiefs. And as the song goes, ‘dem bones is connected.

This is why players must keep their feet moving. Once a player’s upper body is turned, his hips will follow. And if a player has his feet planted when this happens – game over! Thanks for playing. Better luck next time! Allowing someone else to direct where one’s body goes is in direct opposition to the goal of a lineman – defense or offense.

But there are lessons to be learned from this loss.

Limping out of the bye

14 Oct

To those of us who work in the NFL, the bye week is like a summer vacation.  As it gets close, you start cramming more and more into the white spaces in your day planner. 

Then…BAM!

It comes and goes like a lit rocket…and we’re Wile E. Coyote standing in the exhaust wondering what happened.  And just like Wile E., the smoke clears revealing the ACME truck that is about to hit us smack in the face.  Only in this case, it is the 5-0 Tennessee Titans.  Remember the Titans?

They have the best record in the NFL right now.  They’re on an eight game winning streak (regular season).  And they’re just coming off a week of rest too!

I can’t watch!

Limping into the bye

07 Oct

I remember a few shutouts and horrid games in my twenty years.  2006 against Pittsburg.   2002 against Oakland.  But I would have to say Carolina was the worst game I’ve seen in my tenure traveling with the club.

I think what makes this so disappointing is the loss of momentum and confidence gained from the Denver victory.  Had the Chiefs Read the rest of this entry »

2-3 into the bye?

30 Sep

One thing is for sure.  The contribution from rookies is simply undeniable.  Shanahan’s game plan appeared to be “Cutler to Marshall – smoke the rookies!”   Well first off, it turned out to be rookie – singular not plural.  34 Brandon Carr was man up on Marshall all day Read the rest of this entry »
