Chiefs news for Sept 13, 2022
Good morning, AG!
Today in Chiefs history, Trent McDuffie was born in 2000. Hopefully, his hamstring is better for his birthday. In other news, McDuffie shares his birthday with American singer, songwriter, and mandolin player Bill Monroe, considered the father of bluegrass music. And in 1848 American railroad foreman Phineas Gage suffered a traumatic brain injury when an iron rod shot through his skull and obliterated the greater part of the left frontal lobe of his brain; he survived with apparently no lasting physical damage (my Dad was a Railroad man, so I had actually heard of this guy)

#Chiefs Dave Toub says punter Tommy Townsend is doing well despite still being listed with a wrist injury.
“We have to put everything on the injury report.” 😅
Another difference in #Chiefs - Eagles from SBLVIII: No Juju Smith-Schuster for KC, who moved the chains 4 times in the 2nd half (plus the defensive holding)
Rashee Rice is now playing that role. If he can be as reliable catching the ball, he has a higher play-making ceiling
One thing different about #Chiefs - Eagles from SB LVIII is Philly missing Dallas Goedert this time around. He fractured his forearm v. Dallas
He made some incredible catches w/ KC in tight coverage. Both of these at important moments in 2nd half
Taco Bell, Olive Garden, Chipotle, and State Farm coming together today over Travis Kelce’s old tweets is hilarious. 😂

denver -10 against houston this coming Sunday.
Tony wants Houston and +10
maybe 2014 when they went 11-5 …
After playing in 24 consecutive games as an underdog, the longest active streak in the NFL, the Lions are currently 2 1/2-point favorites against the Commanders, according to Caesars Sportsbook.
The Lions’ streak is the team’s longest in the Super Bowl era.
The last time Detroit was favored was Nov. 22, 2020, when the team was a 1-point favorite on the road against quarterback PJ Walker and the Carolina Panthers. The Lions went on to lose 20-0.

Wtf? Red Endzones? Maybe. New Old Logo? No, no, no.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/chiefs-video-shows-midfield-logo-182020569.html
new logo, had to watch a couple of times
Apparently, it’s the original logo they used when AH opened. I vaguely remember it. We sucked then. I don’t want anything from them messing with our juju. Different juju, of course
that logo is horrendous … I bet GEHA asked for it /sigh
red end zones would be fine, but that … that … “thing” in the middle? no, just NO!
Trent Mcduffie is not a go for Thursday. Not great.
Jaylen Watson, 7th round pick is next man up. He did good against the cards
Sounds like Keenan Allen is out
Lucky us
Even worse. McDuffie’s on IR now for the next 4 games at least, it sounds like.
what a sweetheart … !

awesome MH and love love love the “intro” … in MY mind (which is twisted, bent and way too cluttered) it’s The Best part of MH (not JUST a player’s birthday, but the “added layer” and today’s is an exemplary example) so … THANK YOU
ride the rails, baby!
Agree wholeheartedly.
And for good measure…
Somewhere, Washington Redskins owner is snicking…about NBA ruling.
.
NFL still won’t release findings of Daniel S investigation — but they release an email about Jon Gurden….while going thru Daniel S emails.
.
Meanwhile in the NBA- NBA is holding owners to Higher Standard: Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver suspended, fined $10 million after investigation finds conduct ‘clearly violated’ workplace standards
Snyder needs to be SO far gone … the NFL talks the talk but refuses to walk the walk, and honestly I think both D Snyder and D Watson should be 1) in prison, and 2) barred from the league
Broncos fans will need to come to a couple of realizations at some point.
First, Russell Wilson is not Peyton Manning. Manning made crappy olines look good. Wilson makes average olines look bad. The donkeys oline is at best average.
Second, it’s hard to maintain an elite defense. I don’t really think they were elite last year and I expect them to regress at least some this year.
I do think they are better this year but not playing in the preseason and coming out flat against a team that is going to struggle to win 4 games is a bad look. In a really tough AFC they will be lucky to get wc berth. Going forward they lost a lot of draft capital, they having guys at premium positions coming up for new contracts such as Chubb. Things could unravel quickly. Let’s hope so.
Wilson ain’t Manning, that’s for sure … last night part of it was “getting in rhythm” etc etc and can’t put everything on Wilson
the new HC and his asinine decisions were the biggest factor in the Donkeys losing last night (no doubt most Denver fans are wishing they’d had Fangio back instead)
Well… That & Fumbling TWICE on the Goal Line … ; )
Fumbling on 4th and 3rd down. Very poor red zone execution.
Coach, what do you think of your team’s execution?
“Im all for it!”
right? the Seachickens got lucky and dodged more than a few bullets …
He did make some very poor throws too. Which was on him.
” You Make Your Bed And You Ly In It … ” … ; )
There was discussion about how terrible Soldier Field was, and how it could cause injuries, but then we go to “state of the art” in Arizona and end up with 2 guys out because their turf falls apart on impact. How does an NFL franchise not take care of that?
Happy birthday also to Craig MacGregor, bass player for Foghat from 1976 to 2018, beginning with the “Night Shift” album. Rest in peace.
Also happy birthday to my Dad. Happy 68th (I think) Pop!
A broncos fan post. ? ? ?
.
“If this was peewee football…there would be a group of parents at the end of the driveway saying.”We’re sorry Daniel Hackett you can’t be coach anymore ” worst preparation and game management ever!!!!”
Every time I think my life has gone seriously off the rails, I take solace in the fact that it could always be worse… I could be a Donkeys fan.

twas a nice block indeed
Laughing my ass off about the Broncos losing to Seattle in dramatic fashion.
Awesome way to start the day, now we just need to take care of business Thursday night..
Someone say business?
Here’s what I kept texting all my Broncos buddies ? ? ?
With the #1 pick in the 2023 nfl draft. The Denver Broncos select…..lol ♥️ ❤️
A QB?
They will do it in KC too lol
Do they even HAVE a # 1 Pick ( After Trading for ” Wussel ” ? … ; )
It wasn’t even dramatic fashion. It was a dumbfounding, perplexing, baffling, clown show of idiotic coaching decisions.
I don’t know how a son of a coach, who has been around football his whole life, can’t handle situations a person that casually plays Madden can figure out.
If anyone bitches about Andy’s game management skills again, just remind them of how bad this guy is.
I could somewhat get it if they were playing the chiefs or somebody with a good offense. But you call 2 plays on 3rd down. If you don’t convert, you have 3 timeouts and the likelihood of the seagulls getting a first down had to be about 1 1/2%. They sucked in the 2nd half.
How long does it take to get back into fg range? 13 seconds?
some of the most ridiculous calls in the entire history of ever
It’s the little things that make life worth living. ?
Well this threw me for a loop.
the eyebrows look real. not sure about the mustache.
pardon the pun…..cool
OUTSTANDING
Just hot water!! ?
It lodked a little chilly to me … : )
I like a little water with my coffee
Ah geez, Nova, it wasn’t a request so much as an observation on priorities – some folks put makeup on before their morning coffee, others are content looking dishevelled over their first cuppa. I don’t want to rock the boat over this, yet I see that vvet818 has taken this issue as an opportunity for some sightly creativity.
i didn’t know that there was an issue, did i miss something? I don’t want to be stepping on anyones toes here.
No issue, I made an observation yesterday morning that it amuses me to see so many morning coffee drinkers all made up whereas I usually look like a bag of dirt over my first coffee. This is for fun, let’s have fun with it and see how creative it gets.
ok, no worries
??
Was a joke. What Larch said
Lol.
Back to makeup please!!!
But she’s CUTE!
True
she is, she really is … prolly gonna break some hearts someday
Yeah, she’s definitely a real cutie!
love love LOVE this one … Nova, yer The Bestest!
