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]
This isn't going to work out with Peters. Not sure it will work out with Kelce either. Neither seem to be team first guys. I don't think either will be chiefs for life and I'm Good with it.
Doing the crap peters has done is not good for the team any way you spin It. He just really needs to get his ass kicked and maybe he would change? I Hope it comes to that if his attitude continues. Where you at Justin Houston? Beat him to a pulp and video him crying after. The crying will happen for sure. Things will change after that. [Reply]

Yeah, "where's the leadership?" is a good question.
This kind of thing doesn't happen in New England, or Pittsburgh, or other places with long term winning traditions. [Reply]

Marcus Peters screams at a coach on a bus: character flag.
Has Brady ever thrown a ref's penalty flag into the stands and then walk off the field smiling with time still remaining into the locker room during a game? Marcus Peter's conduct was detrimental to the team. MP needs to be traded before the next episode happens in Kansas City. [Reply]

Another stupid as fuck football take from Bob.
Kelce is not a selfish player and he already signed through 2021. He signed a 5 year extension this off season.
You don't have the market on bad football takes cornered but you certainly are one of the biggest sellers. [Reply]
Apparently Peters got into it with a Chiefs PR guy after the game. Reid was asked about it at his press conference. Seems like it was pretty a pretty heated exchange...
Link to the press conference, he's asked about it at 17:22.
Fuck Peter's and get him gone. He won't stay here anyway being a Cali hood rat. He can walk with Smith and Hali and Houston. Get the fuck out! Clean up our money issues and get better with youth. [Reply]
I do care about how Peters acted in the Giants game. I don't care, although there is a line, how he acted after a game like last night.
I'm fine with Peters being here unless we can get some crazy return for him. We shouldn't be moving him for the sake of doing it. That's crazy IMO. [Reply]
As long as Peters isn't hurting the team, via penalties on the field or off-field issues that would result in suspension etc, I dont really care how big of an asshole he is, esp to PR guys or media. Has no effect on me as a fan. As long as he's making plays on defense he's good in my book. IMO you have to earn your right to be an asshole. If you play like ass and want to be an asshole and throw flags and take swings at players or whatever the case may be, then expect to get called out. [Reply]
