September 24th- You can spin this anyway you want. Use all your ESPN
cliches, like "the AFC West is the most competitive division in the league" or
"any given team.. on any given .. yadda yadda". Sugarcoat it all you want, but
when you get down to it, it ABSOLUTELY SUCKS losing to the Chefs. At home.
To guys with red pants.
Anytime you blow a lead and lose to a divison rival at home, it sucks. When
you blow a lead and lose to division rival home, and they were wearing RED HOOKER
PANTS... well that's just downright embarassing. Remember how dorky Notre Dame looked
when they donned those green jerseys in some TurtleWax Bowl a few years ago?
They then got a shellacking, by the score of 63-8 or something. That's what I thought would
happen to the Chefs this week. They rolled in with those hooker drawers, just
begging for an ass kicking. So what the hell happened?
Several things. The first would have to be, just how much of the playbook does Gus Frerotte
know? Remember, Bubby was criticized for only knowing roughly 60%. Would they have
been better with the Quarterback Princess in there? Probably not...but I would have
had alot more to bitch about if GRIESE had blown the lead, instead of GUS. In the middle of it
all, Terell Davis develops his own Princess Syndrome and sits the bench, simply because
his ankle felt "funny" after busting for 24 yards. A little mid-game
running back insecurity is never a good thing. Anderson did his usual bang up job,
but something just didn't feel right about the Donkies this week. It felt like they were
coasting in the third. I thinking the same thing the coaches were probably thinking:
"22 points should be enough to beat these turkeys".
I was all prepared to write a column praising Ray Crockett and how he gets overlooked
every week. Well, Derrick Alexander certainly overlooked Ray on that final TD.. Ray
was in on the play, but was of no consequence to Alexander. I really felt bad for Ray,
he's a decent guy and deserved alot of the credit for the Broncos' two championship
drives. Oh well.. might have helped if someone (Romanowski) had seen fit to cover Tony
Gonzalez all day.
It's sour grapes, but I got a feeling the Donkies will trounce the Chefs when they
hook up in KC. This is an anemic offense with one of the laziest QB's around and
coached by a former movie star (Gunther Cunningham was one of the simian cavemen in
"Quest for Fire".. look it up. Dude's a ringer for "ORG"). Drew Bledsoe and
a couple other guys in shiny outfits roll into town next week. The glass is
suddenly half full for the Donkies.
FINAL CUTS
Even though I hesitate to say it... ya gotta admit that there's no way
Elway (at any age..hell, even 47!) would have let his team lose to the Chefs, at home, with
almost 3 minutes on the clock. ... || ... I'm sure Keith Burns is feeling
wonderful about the special teams not giving up a TD this game... ||.. Dan Williams
mocking Burns by trying to pump up the South Stands. Great, Dan, I enjoy a little
attitude and all... but too bad
you NEVER did anything like that (or anything else of notice) when you were supposed to be
playing here. We've won
two championships since we dumped your ass...||... What the
heck happened to Tamarick Vanover? I noticed he's no longer with the Chefs. I'm drawing a
blank trying to remember... ||... They can bitch about the lack of class all they want, but
Terrell Owens running to the center of the Cowboys field, standing on the star and looking
up through the hole was freaking hilarious! Emmitt Smith returning the motion was
great, too! Of course, seeing George Teague knocking the snot out of Owens was even better! It
wasn't a great game, but people will be talking about that for the rest of the year. Good fun.
