- I recorded and skimmed through America’s Game – The Missing Rings: The 1981 San Diego Chargers. Seeing Kellen Winslow (the former MU star, not K2) play with fellow Charger great Dan Fouts really made me feel sorry for Tony Gonzalez. Other than Trent Green’s four-year run, he’s been stuck with Brodie Croyle, Damon Huard, Elvis Grbac and now Marques Hagans and Tyler Thigpen. Tony G deserves better. He’s the best TE ever (85 more yards and he’ll own all the significant career records), and unlike Shannon Sharpe and Winlsow he didn’t set his records with a Hall of Fame quarterback delivering him the ball. On behalf of the Chiefs, Tony, I apoligize.
- Did anyone else realize that JaMarcus Russell only completed one pass to a wide receiver, Ashley Lelie, last week? I was watching AFC Playbook on the NFLN and they mentioned that. You could see how far out we were playing our corners and how deep we were playing our safeties. With their QB and WRs and our front seven struggling, why not cheat our DBs? Why not make Russell and his struggling wideouts beat us? Chan Gailey has been getting drilled, but Gunther Cunningham deserves his fair share of flak, too. I understand that the defense was worn down, but their struggles can also be attributed to a lack of proper adjustments made by Gun and his staff.
- This “Thigpen is Gannon Like” post about made me snap, too. It’s been a few days, but I still can’t get over how ridiculous it is. Man, if everyone could get up and see the world through Bob Gretz’s eyes–that is one optimistic dude. I’ll give him that much. – Blog Gretz
- Mike Shannahan might just be a genius. Love the play call last week. Either Jay Cutler completes the pass that just worked and knocks off a superior team sending his confidence through the roof, or Shanny takes the blame for the decision. They couldn’t have stopped the Chargers, so I think it was much smarter than letting a coin flip decide the game. Then again, he’s in a position with Broncos ownership where he can make that kind of a call and not worry about his job security.

Adam:
Great post. I mentioned Jamarcus on my column. No one commented on it. For all the bashing we get for our QB’s, imagine if we had drafted Jamarcus. The Thigpen is Gannon column is barf inducing. Then I had second thoughts. Maybe Sunny Bob is right. After 10 years in the NFL, maybe Thiggy will make a good QB. That doesn’t really help us now though.
What’s so horrible about Gretz’s column? It’s pointing out the similarities Thigpen has to Gannon in his early years, not the Gannon who led the Raiders to a Super Bowl. Gretz definitely does NOT say that Thigpen will be the next Gannon – there’s simply some similarity in the early years of both careers.
No, it doesn’t. And he was trying to soothe everyone’s minds, yet he mentioned that Gannon played for all these teams before sticking with the Chiefs.
Speaking of the America’s Game show, how about that Hank Bauer? 57 return tackles in one season? That’s just insane. I think that’s why we are all so smitten over Pollard–he has that combo of hustle and heart.
Does anyone know if there is gonna be a webcast of tomarrows game?
I don’t care what Gretz says, you can’t make comparisons after just a few games that Pigpen has played in. I can’t believe the Chiefs are the only team in the league without one single legitimate quarterback. And the sad thing is, they don’t even care to look for one.
I’ve always said that Russell was garbage, but I saw him in a preseason game, and thought about changing my mind…. until last week. Ha.
hey chiefs fans do any of yall know where i can find the player conflict hoodys i cant find a chiefs one anywhere anyone know where i can find any??
thanks
GO CHIEFS!!
I don’t know about a hoodie…but NFLshop.com has the sweet “Customize” thing goin on with hoodies and shirts…and since I am a simple, vintage look kinda dude I went and made myself a plain black shirt with just CHIEFS in red…im pumped…I can show my CHIEFS pride and not look ridiculous…
Also…America’s Game is my favorite show…ever…I have all 43 of them now DVR’d…that show definitely gets me choked up sometimes…maybe that’s why I have respect for alot of teams out there in addition to the Chiefs…but im obviously not insane about them like I am the Red and Gold…
It’s a great day boys…its GAMEDAY….
