Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters’ frustration following the Chiefs’ 38-31 loss to the New York Jets didn’t end immediately after the game, it appears.
According to a report by NFL Network’s Mike Garafalo, Peters also had a verbal altercation with an assistant coach on the bus during the team’s ride to airport following the game. The assistant coach was not named.
The Star reported Thursday that Peters’ suspension was related to his decision to leave the field prematurely following the flag toss. The club viewed that as a team issue, as opposed to the penalty flag toss, which it deemed a league issue that Peters was ultimately fined $24,409 for on Friday.
The NFL Network report cited Peters’ decision to leave the field as a reason for the one-game suspension coach Andy Reid levied on him earlier this week, with the verbal altercation also being a contributing factor.
The Chiefs still had a little over two minutes left to tie the game, and Peters returned to the sideline –– albeit with no socks –– as the offense made its last-gasp attempt. But the drive stalled out, and the Chiefs lost for the sixth time in seven games.
Peters’ suspension means the Oakland native will miss the Chiefs’ showdown Sunday against his hometown Raiders. He was not allowed to practice this week and will forfeit a game check. [Reply]

Just like Kelce, they failed to stay on top of things.
These are perfect posts. How about Hunt and Reid taking some culpability and addressing THEIR shortcomings in this matter, rather than trading them away.
Just "throwing your hands up" when it comes to a talent like Peters is lazy and unacceptable. [Reply]
People said we'd find new and exciting things to argue about and they were right. That said, I'm not EVEN going to "die on the hill" of a CB, but this trade would sure say a lot to the character weaknesses of BOTH sides and ownership in this matter. [Reply]

:-) Lets appease the dumbfucks at Arrowhead who just can't stand the fact that Peters knelt during the Anthem but scream Chiefs at the end of it. [Reply]

You certainly did not see that from past Chiefs secondary standouts like Deron Cherry, Lloyd Burrus, Albert Lewis, James Hasty, et al.
I completely agree with Peters frustration over officiating. He's completely right. I skipped more than a dozen games this year including 7 layoff games --I always watch every minute of the playoffs-- due to my personal frustration with officiating. I've been watching football for nearly 50 years. Peters is just smarter than me. No one can justify today's officiating. [Reply]

Manipulating outcomes by calls is a tricky business. You should be more appreciative of the skill that these refs have to possess in order to effectively pull it off! [Reply]

Probably the same dumbfucks who were aghast that the Chiefs didn't spend more draft capital and other 5 years building the "perfect" team for Alex. It would be so nice for cHunt to pick such a valuable time and issue to put his 'Jerry Jones'-britches on, and go to work buh-ghwawhd! [Reply]

Arguing with coaches, doing a fuck you dance with Marshawn in an Oakland train chanting "Fuck the Chiefs!", and selfish bullshit that damages continuity which in turn got him suspended.
Of course he's a black man in the Midwest which works against him which his father cited. [Reply]

I’ve heard it advertised on Sirius that you can listen to past shows on Sirius.com, but I asume you have to have an account to do it. I’ve never tried doing it though so can’t say for sure. [Reply]
