Damn. Well...maybe you folks can find it on the internet somewhere else.

Well damn, ........I didn't watch the game but seriously what is going on with the fans in Kansas City? Pretty disappointed in some people, the love for the NFL is good but when it becomes like this, then it has became a serious problem.

It's probably just sheer frustration, I mean the Chiefs have been rather dysfunctional (the 2003 and 2010 playoff runs aside) for several years now, so everything probably just came to a head.

I can't help but feel this Kansas City thing is getting blown out of proportion. I've seen the clips of the game and it seemed more like the initial length of the cheering was due to the big play for the first down. Then the cheering kind of died a bit once Cassel was being tended too and then there was cheering ocne he got taken off the field.

How is that cheering any different than other injury cheers once a guy shows that he is okay and walks/gets carted off the field. For all we know they could have been cheering him on for being okay.

I don't know, just my two cents. I didn't actually watch the whole thing play out so I can't judge with certainty.

Holy cow. As if the call for Tebow can't be any louder. Look at this:

Mark Sanchez is #6
He just lost MNF game #666
He has thrown 6 TDs and 6 INTs
His passer rating is 66.6
His longest completion is 66 yards
His average yards per attempt is 6.6

Yea. God wants Tebow on the field.

From what I heard from Chiefs fans on another board, the majority of the crowd that was cheering was when Brady Quinn was coming in. But who knows. Winston was actually there.

Man I'm so tired of people talking about Tim Tebow. Really, who cares. He's a terrible quarterback. Don't understand why he is such a "story".

'cause ALL HE DOES IS WIN.

If you ask me -- I don't get it either. Must be some LOL factor, or something. I dunno. But here's the thing though: given the performance of Dirty Sanchez these past 5 weeks, it might be worth a shot to give Tebow the starting role and see how he does with it.

Please dont say that.
I hear that enough from Skip Bayless.
Yeah, why not give him a shot and get it over with it.

Skip, when the reason his team losses because of him(throwing INT) dont cover his butt and put the blame on others.

It's Thursday again!

My hunch here turned out to be right on the mark!

GB @ IND: Indianapolis (My crazy pick, because fuck yeah!)

I take back my prediction that the ugliest man alive isn't going anywhere soon.

BAL @ KC: Baltimore (Oh look, another shit team for The Ravens to crush)

And it looks like Kansas City is about to meltdown as well…

ATL @ WSH: Washington (Because SuperQuarterback)

Damn, Washington needs an O-Line…

CLE @ NYG: New York Giants (You can do it, people whom I hate for stealing our Super Bowl)

bgjkldfjhdfkvshartioeurdh

PHI @ PIT: Tossup (Both teams are flawed, if not necessarily bad)

And The Razor's Edge of a season continues for Da Iggs…

SEA @ CAR: Seattle (I kind of want to call this a tossup, but Seattle's excellent D and Cam Newton's struggles keep coming to the front of my mind)

And people are still calling for getting rid of Russell Wilson? Give me a fucking break.

CHI @ JAX: Chicago (B-Gabby will struggle yet again)

By "Struggle", I wasn't expecting a 38-point blowout.

TEN @ MIN: Minnesota (The current iteration of The Titans have shown themselves to be dysfunctional on the best of days)

Yeah, The Vikes are showing themselves to be a rather capable bunch so far this year, you have to wonder where they'll end up.

DEN @ NE: New England (New England is just a far more complete team than The Broncos right now)

Right on the mark.

BUF @ SF: San Francisco (Now that Brandon Jacobs is actually ready to play, the only question left to ask is how many thousand rushing yards The Niners will get against a Buffalo D that gave up 250 rushing yards to a team not known for it's ground game.)

And that was the most stellar offensive performance from The Niners that I've seen since the last time they blew out a team by 45 points at home in week 5.

SD @ NO: New Orleans (Oh look, it's The Chargers. My give a shit meter just fell to fucking nothing)

Thank you Drew Brees! And congratulations on your new record!

HOU @ NYJ: Houston (From this point, it's going to be nothing but pain, misery and people calling for Tim Tebow for Jets. The Texans on the hand can look forward to cute kitties and ambrosia)

Fucking spelling mistakes…

Okay, Week 6 now:


PIT @ TEN: Pittsburgh (They're the force they used to be though)

OAK @ ATL: Oakland (This isn't actually the crazy pick, though it requires a few hoops in place to work)

CIN @ CLE: Cincinnati (The Bengals are a team who's day has arrived, while the Failure…)

STL @ MIA: Tossup (The result here will have huge consequences in the medium term)

IND @ NYJ: Indianapolis (The Jets are a flaming wreck)

DET @ PHI: Tossup (The Lions are having teething struggles, The Eagles are a turnover machine)

KC @ TB: Tampa Bay (We missed you, coach Jackass)

DAL @ BAL: Baltimore (Another week, another sacrifice to Ray Lewis)

BUF @ ARI: Arizona (As question as The Cards can be, this is Buffalo we're talking about here)

NE @ SEA: Seattle (NOW THIS IS THE CRAZY PICK!!! Seattle's Epic D FTW!!!)

NYG @ SF: San Francisco (Brandon Jacobs doesn't even matter at this point, though I'm contractually obligated to mention him for the next three weeks)

MIN @ WSH: Washington (I'm not ready to call them done yet)

GB @ HOU: Houston (Though it's going to be tough for The Moos)

DEN @ SD: Denver (This is a totally selfish pick, as it would mean that The Raiders are still in the playoff race, especially if they win at Atlanta)

[ReaperxKingx]

Looking forward to this week, there are a lot of good games. I am hoping I can get my mind off Kansas City after watching the week. ESPN sure love rewinding and playing that scene over and over again these couple of days.

[Rajura]

On 30-hour call, Auburn lost to Ole Miss, and no food in the call room... the day is just getting worse and worse!

*Sigh*

... to Ole Miss... *shakes head*

[Endless Soul]

USC vs. Washington and the Huskies are hurting. 24-7

EDIT: SC need to watch their punt defense on the right side. That's the third time Washington got through, and this time it cost SC a field goal.

[Strygwyr]

Don't really watch college football but Texas long horns lost, and saw BYU's new uniform, cept the helmet, kinda like a panthers jersey (away I think). With the black helmet IMO best uniform for a football team (49ners are 2nd)

[Strygwyr]

ATM: Oak over ATL, NYJ over IND and Ravens tied with Dallas.

[GDB]

Ravens over Dallas now.

[Strygwyr]

Jets survives week 6 and Browns has good chance to win with a 10 point lead over Bengals. ATL avoids a loss and beats Oak and the Dallas and Ravens game is amusing.

[Dilla]

Dallas blew that one with shitty clock management.

[GuidoHunter_Toki]

Can't help but feel the stupid refs helped he lions get back in it and win. That stupid off pass int screwed celek out of a Td. The generous ball spot that gave the lions another chance at a Td which they got. That stupid possession call (I swear i dont even know what possession is anymore with how secific it has got). The stupid holding call, so much went the lions way that game on top of the mistakes the eagles made. We would have still won that game and it wouldn't have even finished in ot.

And as usual my OL sucks and it is nothing but a chore for defenses to make plays without getting a penalty called. *sigh* well rants over.

They would have won if not for the screw ups on the O line and Greg Knapp.

That window looks to be closing.
