Nzoner's Game Room>A new service for you: The Chiefsplanet Doomsday Nuclear Clock
Rain Man 06:16 PM 09-28-2009
Updates:

September 29, 2009 - Tyler Thigpen gets traded: 11:42
November 17, 2009 - Dwayne Bowe gets suspended: 11:51
December 06, 2009 - Matt Cassel gets benched: 11:52
December 13, 2009 - Matt Cassel throws quatro intercepto after benching: 11:53



There's way too much panic here for a situation where we've got new management and a new coach coming in. We've only had three games in our first season of the new regime.

To better guide people on when to panic, I'm proposing a Chiefs' variant of the Doomsday Clock that's run at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

If the clock hits noon, then it's time to panic. The closer it is to noon, the more you should worry. If it's 15 minutes off, then we're relatively safe in the big scheme of things.

Okay, you ready?

The Chiefsplanet Doomsday Clock is currently at:

11:58

With a new regime in place and a new coaching staff in place, and with three games played under the new system, there is no cause for panic. In fact, this is the furthest from high noon that this clock has been since the end of the 1997 regular season.

I'll update this periodically unless I forget about it.






Past clock settings:

Prior to kickoff, 1960 season: 11:30
Prior to kickoff, 1965 season: 11:35
Prior to kickoff, 1970 season: 11:30
Prior to kickoff, 1975 season: 11:44
Prior to kickoff, 1980 season: 11:51
Prior to kickoff, 1985 season: 11:58
Prior to kickoff, 1990 season: 11:55
Prior to kickoff, 1995 season: 11:47
Prior to kickoff, 2000 season: 11:52
Prior to kickoff, 2005 season: 11:53
Prior to kickoff, 2010 season: 11:57
Prior to kickoff, 2015 season: 11:50
2016 postseason: 11:42
End of regular season, 2017: 6:00 p.m.
Prior to kickoff, 2018 season: 2:00 p.m.
January 16, 2019: Clock has been dismantled and reassembled into a music box that plays Rock and Roll Part 2.
August 14, 2020: Clock parts were melted down and reformed into a nice stand to hold the Lombardi Trophy.

what would make it 12:00 for you? the team announcing they are leaving? QB being passed over in the first round?

12:00 would be the end of the franchise as we know it, yes (IMO)

Like them moving to LA

A team move would definitely be 12:00. A QB being passed over might be at this point.

Benching Cassel moves it down, too. It might only be 11:57 now that I think of it.

The ACL injuries of 2011 had to add a minute or two,Berry & Charles a minute each

Cassel being Benched couldve subtracted 2 minutes but perhaps Quinn & Stanzi as backups might've added a minute

I wasn't around KC football in 85. Were the fans then really angrier and the team worse than we are now?

There pretty much is no worse team than 2008-2009, so that would be a no.

Passing on a QB would be very close to 1200 but not all the way. 1159

I updated the Chiefsplanet Doomsday Nuclear Clock with the 2010 and 2015 pre-season settings, and also the current setting (at the bottom of the OP). 2010 was dangerously close to a complete conflagration, but we're currently at the safest place we've been in a long time. The Chiefsplanet Doomsday Nuclear Clock currently stands at:

11:42.

To answer your nearly 4 yo question, with the Royals riding a decade of playoffs and a pending WS title, and the Chiefs being nothing burgers since mere months after I was born, the Chiefs were a bit head shake more than anything.

The Chiefs in '85 were a bit like Woolco and Woolworth going out of business.
