That was ugly. The Chiefs dormant offense
has yet to score a first quarter TD this season. It wouldn’t
change in the desert. By the time the slumbering offense
awoke it was mid-way through the fourth quarter and the
team needed a miracle. Aside from K Todd Peterson’s
49-yard FG, no miracles were to be had in Arizona.
Take A Memo
For Chiefs’ fans—
This game was lost in the first half on offense (0-3
red zone TD’s) and the third quarter on defense (23
Cardinals plays to 3 Chiefs plays). The last interception
was tough but it didn’t lose the game.
To offensive coordinator Al Saunders—
—When you have 14 seconds left in the half from
Arizona 3-yard line, there is no need for trickery.
To whoever gives the halftime locker room speech—
(Sarcasm on) Nice job. (Sarcasm off) Next.
To Eric Hicks—
On 3rd and 14 let the opposing QB just throw the ball
away.
To Trent Green—
Don’t throw...try to throw...sorry no help from
here either.
To Priest Holmes—
Nice game...again.
To Dick Vermeil—
Aren’t these the kinds of games you should stay in?
To Snoop Minnis—
Good attitude with the benching. Good response when you
did see the field.
To Derrick Alexander—
Yes—that’s still the endzone.
To Eric Warfield—
Good play, er, bad coverage...roller coaster.
To the Chiefs defense—
Exactly what was that in the third quarter?
To the Chiefs offense—
232 yards in the first half has to equal more than 9
points.
To the Patriots—
The Chiefs would like that formula you use against the
Colts.
