Yea running the ball, hoping the Chiefs fumble, miss field goals, and commit penalties. [Reply]

JFC, that had nothing to do with Pennel not being there. Nothing.
I dont know where some of you come up with this shit sometimes. [Reply]

We have a new deal coming up and it's imperative to show good numbers."
"Yeah, Pennel would have changed the outcome for this game, but I'm employed by an owner...and he meets with the other 31 owners. If you dont do what your employer requests, do you have a job? Didn't think so. This was a league wide initiative. Hopefully this sheds light on why benching Pennel made no strategic or logical sense."
"This has been a strange season and there are only 16 games. It became so lop-sided, we all had to, collectively, come together to correct the imbalance. As you can see, things are competitive again. Hey, we weren't the only ones pulling our weight...did you see the Saints against the 1-7 Falcons at home...the Packers tank against the Chargers? Drew Brees didn't even score a touchdown. Did you see that crazy shank in the 49ers game? Our botched snap didn't look that bad did it?"

So if/when the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, it will solely be because the fix was in, and not because they were the better team, correct? [Reply]

You have to make it to the SB to win it, so your scenario is dead before it gets out of the gate. With Hunt finding people like Veach and Andy to command the team, we'll always find a way to come up short. [Reply]

There are a lot of the "didn't age well" threads all over the place.
"Post in haste, you ruin the space;
Post in thought, it's what Socrates taught;
Post when mad, it will likely be bad;
Post when jealous, it'll be over zealous;
Post when embarrassed, you'll just get harassed;
Post when happy, you won't be sappy;
Post when mellow, you'll be a great fellow." [Reply]
Spags has been awesome for us. But not playing Pennel when the Titans x factor is a rb who wants to pound you into the ground is still a huge head scratcher. [Reply]

But maybe gives us a silver lining for the next game. Besides all the other flukey BS that helped the Titans (and unlikely to happen again), Pennel might be a little bit of a secret weapon for KC this time. [Reply]

So you're saying we deliberately lost last time because we knew we were going to play the Titans again in the playoffs? [Reply]
