Randy’s Postgame Report From Amen Corner!

Dexter McCluster makes a cut-back on his 1st half TD (photo courtesy of my bud Kent Ogle)

I just rolled in from another Chiefs home victory Addicts! What a great feeling it is. This time I had more time to wander around before the game started and I must say, the new Arrowhead is everything promised and more. Even better, the old crowd is back. The old tailgating is in full swing and that league famous crowd noise once again makes your ears bleed.

Priest Holmes was back too! Though not on the field, he stood in a Sprint booth, signing autographs and posing with photos. He looked like he could suit up and play. The line was too long, so we went on inside.

My buddy Kent and I yelled until our throats hurt, banged chair backs until our arms got numb, and slapped palms with the fans around us until, well you get the picture. It was an incredible day at Arrowhead once again.

We talked to quite a few fans in our section, collected thoughts and captured moods.

Most in our section were still not sold on Cassel as our franchise QB. That changed as his numbers grew bigger on the scoreboard and especially after the long TD pass to Moeaki. Fan opinions change with the wind. We shall see.

Before the game, few thought we could win our next two games after the break. Optimism in that area also grew following the game.

Most in the crowd thought Bowe didn’t bring much today, though his TD catch was enough in my mind.

We chanted “Free JC, Free JC!” most of the game, and everyone was pleased that it indeed seemed Jamaal saw more action.

The little corner my seats are located in is a pregame gathering place for many of the players, we traded enthusiasms with Bowe, Pope, Battle, Waters, and Cassel to name a few.

The weather and the cheerleaders were gorgeous, and when the game ended, we both had an optimism neither of us could remember having for a long long time.

I’m calling it a day Addicts! Its a great time to be a Chiefs fan, a time we have been waiting for. How long it will last? Who knows. A division win is a definite possibility in my eyes.

I’ll take things a game at a time.

The colts have a horrible run defense I mean horrible. They only ran for about 63 yards in the Denver game so they are that dimensional but can beat you in the air. I think it will be very interesting to see how Crennel can dial different blitzes up to get after Petyon. That will be how win is getting him on his back. The Texans are mortal as well. I'm not conscerned about their run because our defense is so good. But you have to shut down Andre Johnson with the double team. Thier corners and safety's are kinda week we can attack them through the air. The cowgirls gained yards on them on the ground. Be a good match up between Albert or Richardson against thier stud DE. In sum I think we shock everyone and beat one of them. They are road games so I am doubtful we win both but if we played like we did against San Fran we just might.

There were some empty seats, the crowd noise wasnt as loud, the disruption attempts were sporatic but effective. My thoughts are that the fans were not convinced the Chiefs wins were anything more than luck, I believe with a three week break before the next home game that the place will be rocking for the Jags visit!

This was a great game and a superlative all around team effort! I'll keep my main thought brief: With a DEFENSE that shows up every week comes great OPTIMISM for the FUTURE. Randy, you mentioned crowd noise. How did this crowd compare to Monday Night in terms of being a disruptive force for the opposing offense? It seemed to me from tv that there were some empty seats Sunday.

Honestly, what does everyone think about our chances for the next two games? Do we beat Indy? Do we beat Houston? What should be our focus besides trying to figure out a way to contain Peyton, for the bye week?

After seeing the Texans get shut down yesterday, I definitely think our defense can control their passing game and keep our team in the game. We've tested well against Frank Gore, so let's hope to see the same effort against Arian. As for Indy, I definitely think its too close to call. Let's hope for a couple of key injuries to their squad next Sunday.

Top of the AFC West, three weeks in a row... and pulling away from the pack!

Dear Tomatoe Cans Move over Revis Island move over Namndi watever Brandon Flowers needs room next to you as one of the premier elite corners in the league. Tambi Hali will get his too. Welcome to the mix Tony Moe your in the hunt with our very own DMC for offensive rookie of the year. Barry Richardson well not a probowler yet but you are definately the best right tackle we have had in some time son. Your officially a grizzly bear. Chiefs front seven as a whole you are officially a chain saw designed specifically for well tearing heads off to be frank. Jammal you somewhat got set free I think you could have carried a little more but I like how they used you 97 yards on 12 carries you made it look effortless I give you and TJ credit for what should be ranked as the number one rushing attack in the league right behind the big belly bump to our suprising O line. Matt Cassel you were allowed to throw down field tonite. You did not look like you were a deer in head lights once even after taking some good shots. You are improving so far keep it up. San Fran is not a bad team we just played like champions today period. Love Always Danny W

What a fantastic game! It was a complete football team today, hitting it hard and fast. I have one bit of crow to gladly eat, too. I had commented that Alex would have a better QB rating than Matt. Pass the salt and pepper please.. Fortunately, I was not all wrong, I thought the only way we would win was a departure from the conservative Jones ground and pound approach, getting Charles and McCluster the ball creatively and utilize Moeaki. Boy, did we do that! The defense played an incredible game. The stats offensively and defensively are really something, as I'm sure we will get into tommorrow. For tonight, let's all celebrate, it was anything but winning ugly, with virtually the entire team contributing. A fun day for all Chief's fans for sure :), can you say a two game lead in the division?

Even Thomas Jones' ground and pound was working today. EVERYTHING was working today. I was at work watching and jumping around like an idiot. It has been a while since I could do that
