Herm, You Suck
I understand 'you play to win the game' and even though there has never been an instance where I've watched the Chiefs play to win, last night those famous words came to life.
Herm went for 2 to win the game rather than go for the point after and tie the game. I understand that if you have momentum and you are not the better team, go for the win. My personal feeling was that the team may have been pumped but they had lost their composure...
And from the result of the game I was proved correct...

Herm Edwards Blows... ... 21 Point Lead
Two miracles happened today. The first was that Herm Edwards' team was up 24-3. There were 36 people in our suicide pool who picked TB to win and 0 who put a chance on KC. And yet, the chiefs seemed to be on their way to proving the world wrong.
And then... miracle number two happened... and Herm Edwards forgot his own famous words that you play to win the game and he played to blow a 21 point lead. They went into OT and ... of course KC lost. I'm sorry but that is an atrocity.
Play of the Week: Pigpen the Receiver
Although variations of this play are becoming popular, I love it. Just like the phase when everyone was lateral-ing the ball left, right and back - losing teams are making their QB receivers. Check out this week's surprise play from Kansas City. They snap to a RB, hand-off to their WR and throw it to their QB who scores a TD!!
PS. If Pigpen doesn't work out, maybe Mark Bradley can fill in as QB. What a great throw!!!

PIG PEN?
For anyone else who was multi-tasking while watching the Jets game today, I'm sure you were as startled as I was as you heard "Pig Pen completes the pass to Gonzales" and other such phrases.
I knew Huard and Croyle were on the Chief's IR list but, I didn't know they had resorted to a Peanut character for their QB. I quickly realized that every time the announcers quickly spoke about Thigpen it sounded a looooooot like pig pen.... yowers.

In My Opinion, That Sucked
Ahhh how I love your quotes Jim Mora.
But I'm of course not talking about the Saints, but rather the JETS.
Yesterday afternoon Stevers & I took the Babyman & Bnard to the Jets-Chiefs game as a Christmas gift. After snapping at our car driver (who was new, retarded, and not listening to me) we marched to the top of the stadium to our seats.
The Jets scored early in the first quarter and despite a field goal from each team in the first half, it was a horrendously boring game. The icingon the cake was the ice that pelted us from the sky at a rapid rate (also known as hail)... which turned worse when the melted ice soaked everything during the second half.
Cold, wet, and neither team going no where.... the only saving grace for the game was the company.
And in the last 5 minutes the stupid Chiefs score a TD and TIED the game... The stadiums by that point were empty and neither team seemed to want to win. As Bnard said, Herme Edwards, wasn't it you who said YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME. Apparently this rule doesn't apply to the Chiefs.
Finally after three possessions in overtime, the Jets kick a field goal... they start running off the field, we celebrate, we cheer! Horray! Let's go home... and the official announces HOLDING on the offense, 10 yard penalty... Mike-I-Miss-Point-Afters-Nugent must kick an even harder field goal.
I was convinced we'd become ice statues stuck to the seats... fortunately even Nugent wanted to go home and kicked the game winning field goal.
